Golf another is the ford focus s. T. He thinks it looks quite smart but it wants to know how it drives. So he climbs in behind the Steering Wheel. Presses the start button and listen to the engine sound. The hot hand chesty version of the focus has been around since 2005 it was even discontinued for a while but resurrected in 22 well now ford has rolled out the 3rd generation focus s. T. Perhaps hoping it will pick up on the recent success of his little brother the fiesta. Emmanuelle discovers the focus s. T. Is in its element on these winding country roads it hugs the curves nicely responds well to the throttle and its manual 6 speed transmission shifts nice and trying. To get all the gears seem to have an even shorter throw than in the latest hour. Lunch. That also has a lot to do with. Dept of dumping and the nec tronic limited slip differential on the front axle and the selection of driving wives. Emanuel experiences the focus s. T. Steering as fairly direct so theres good feedback from the road it also has relatively good self aligning chalk which means the Steering Wheel pulls back to the 12 oclock position but thats a good thing as it allows the driver to turn the wheel back quicker so were keeping an. Eye working hard on the hood is a 2. 3 liter 4 cylinder engine based on the one powering the old focus r. S. The new focus and steam engine puts out 206 kilowatts and pushes the car through a top speed of 250 Kilometers Per Hour. In order to fix the a minor will accelerate sort of 0 to 100 Kilometers Per Hour in under 6 seconds and the sound the engine produces is full and satisfying admittedly somewhat artificially synthesised but very distinctive even when heard by a bystander outside when the car flies past. The body styling kit sense the estes exterior apart from the regular focus. It includes color coded front and rear bumpers optional 19 inch alloy wheels bring out the sports car character. A rear spoiler makes for added downforce on the reaction. Inside Recovery School seats are available on request for ideal support.

As a really well money talk hatch known as aggressive and purest because the Honda Civic Type but also not as white bread is the go for changing i think its a good mix and so much fun to drive you take it for another space. You know how and. These days almost every one of my car has an s. U. V. Or 2 and its lined up with real off road is a still a rare breed one thats been around for a while is missing. Contest. It feels like its gone back in time. To when dinosaurs roamed. He almost expects to see a trial run in saurus rex passed by. Not exactly passed by. He feels like hes sitting inside a dinosaur. That being the mercedes g. Class. He just got into the newest addition but magic says it doesnt feel as new as it looks fruit is hes got no i mean. I was thinking. Technologically speaking its up to date yet all of its modern driver assists and Entertainment Systems cant hide it same each. Side matthew says the g. Model dates back to 979 a time when german vehicles didnt offer much in the way of space they were all narrower shorter and lower than todays models you know the interior was quite roomy for the time. Today he notices that it feels pretty cramped even though the new model is around 8 centimeters wider than the old 15 hope for the best lawyer all the fare. So space is limited but the vehicle is bound to have other selling points right. I dont suppose on the matter since the mercedes g. Has one special talent just watching this. Going just 50 kilometers an hour you can make the tires squeal just the way a porsche 911. 00 would when taking the same curve at 100 Kilometers Per Hour i dont want that already in a fog. Now thats really something of course the g 500. 00 can go faster than 50 kilometers an hour its 310. 00 kilowatt for each a v a twin turbo charger can excel. These bald units on wheels to 210 Kilometers Per Hour and the g. Class can go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in a respectable 5. 9 seconds officially fuel consumption is listed as 12 liters per 100 kilometers but thats difficult or downright impossible to achieve in practice. When. Sitting so much as has a great overview of the situation and yet he can barely remember the last time he was in a car with such a huge turning circle. But on the bright side he says with this car you can just drive over the curb if you cant turn it into. Place. So the g. Class isnt a great vehicle for parking garages. But maybe its just right for others. If they ask our car test the system is sadies g classes only to be recognizable and the newest version that wont change that its box in shape and angular exterior contours simply make it like no other. Though if you take a closer look you can see there are some differences from the previous model 1st then does the stock. Even if many of the stylistic elements remain the same like the upright wind shield. The flat. In the distinctive side molding trim others have changed there are new bumpers headlights and turn signals the door edges around the shoe you can hear the difference when closing them. The tail lights are flatter and use technology. And matches if we go even further back to go ninetys the yankees and to 979 when i just wanted was introduced 4 years ago. Completely different again. Thats out. Practical features instead of smart chrome trim that was an advantage when traveling crosscountry as were the 16 inch steel wheels considered quite large back then what hasnt changed over the years the turn signals are still found on the front wings. Of a spare tire still mounted on the back. This is both of these cars belong to. This wonderful castle where weve been invited today. After the 2 men say hello Christian Logan sets things straight he says under the car to him that he does most weddings are canceling likes to greet their guests and today hes happy matters here with a nice altar. Thats how much is comments that the castle in the g. Class and exactly things you need in daily life. Is this person christian says you stay true to the gene class because he likes that. He uses the old regime model to take guests hunting and this want to drive. Many. Matches imagines getting into the g. Class in a flowing down would be a tight squeeze christian admits theres not as much room as you think so he thinks the new version will offer much more space. Finds it a little crapshoot. Those matters even though hes in a shorter than christie i dont know if you can. Design and should have sacrificed a bit of cargo space to give passengers more leg room. Glasses agrees but he says at least they have the right seat belts about. Some fun of these when he really doesnt like these events and he thinks theyre around shape contradicts what she recalls entire concept. You can do with a formal cushion suggest they sit up front and test things out matches even lets him drive. In the woods it quickly becomes clear that the g. Class is much more than a trendy s. U. V. For hauling groceries though the christian gives it a real workout in rugged terrain the vehicle takes everything in its stride. Matters ask question what he thinks. Hes thrilled and calls it a technological masterpiece that. If he likes the business such a big difference to what he has now. Theres no comparison christian says it drives like a dream no bumps nothing in absorbs the pipes. But what good is that if the vehicle is seldom or never used to offload due to its high price or for fear of scratches and scrapes. With Allan Fels Castle disappearing in the mirror behind him to match his delivers his verdict i was coming down from the sense you can understand christians enthusiasm in a same class really is a great vehicle for driving. The christian really wasnt driving slowly yet matus didnt feel it go over any potholes or sticks and stones on the ground. He also didnt notice that the front rigid axle has been replaced by independent suspension though it. In terms of off road capabilities the g. Class still has 3 differential locks. So its a great off roader. But it actually says missing class is also a great gas so dont expect too much official fuel consumption and even though its got more margin here it is still a tight fit. Plus the vehicle is incredibly hard to maneuver matthew says lots of vehicles can do what the class can and do it better. The only thing they dont have is the culture. So mantis advises buyers to look beyond the hype or in purchasing a new vehicle. I would. Call. That and today car tester in his future is trying out a new model in the s. U. V. Segment the citroen c 5 aircraft available in germany since early twentys. But its main selling points would seem to be design and comfort. Its marketed in 92 countries and it wants to find out how it hopes to win my car buyers hearts. Up to the sci fi there cross possesses all the features of an s. U. V. Such as the wide skirts and the rounded flowing contours as major design elements. And the one of us points out a unique design feature at the front of the split grille the upper part includes the daytime running lights and turn signals while down below the headlights. An indentation to accommodate citron double chevron logo. Bumper inserts and bumps in different colors can also be. Looking at the sci fi. From the side it is almost seems the roof is floating above the body and windows other carmakers have been playing with this effect as well its achieved by making the a. M. B. Pillows glossy black which also seems to stretch the body out the 5 x. Black roof an area settle from the body shape chrome trim. Pick up those and with your app that. Highlights at the rear is the smart design of the early detail lights with the 3 d. Effect. The 1st thing in a series when she climbs into the c 5 across is the super bowl stood cigarettes. Thats a decisive factor in making this as you read so comfortable that theyre not. It is especially like the combination of materials which gives the interior both some high quality and the stylishly modern look the only part she doesnt like that much all the while the charging patterns for a smart phone ask to her they look as if the designers had lost their aspiration. I think she would have liked nice covering. The buttons for the driving modes and nearby and if you compare them how charging pads seem a little slapdash or look. After that. Bunch of top racing to the illuminated storage compartment at the Center Console it accommodates even big water bottles. The modern design all but requires a digital copy table to display a diversity of information. For an especially comfortable ride citron equipped all european versions of the c. 5 across with advanced comfort suspension additional hydraulic stops allow for. Better absorption of jobs unlike the purely mechanical stops they also prevent excessive rebound. We tried out the more powerful of the 2 available gasoline engines with an output of 133 kilowatts coupled with an 8 speed automatic transmission it allows the car to go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in a 42 seconds with the highest trim to shine the air cross sells for just under 37000. 00 euros in germany the base version starts at around 23000. 00 euros. The athenas finds the steering are sometimes giving her a good control of the car and even the added to the normal driving mode is the eco mode for more fuel efficient driving. In the sport mode the can down shift on a lighter throttle and holds the lower gears much longer. But on the whole i wouldnt say the sport mode goes all that well with a suspension set primarily for comfort of the person she prefers the normal and how that apps that it has thats where everything comes together in harmony 8 gears shift smoothly and the car is 133. Optional use. Because the can do this with. Only half mile in is returns to the design pointing out a funny presentation of the speedometer. It looks a bit like a timeline. In the fight. Until this is amused by this and says it is one more expression of such runs ambition to reinterpret redesign everything. It may just be a gimmick but it certainly grabs our attention. Doesnt see this s. U. V. Navigating the forests and meadows the name air cross tends to suggest it was made to float above the asphalt like a cloud and in fact it does the comfortable seats and suspension add up to a highly pleasant ride on journeys and short. And indeed to sci fi there cross does not come with all wheel drive but starting in late 2980. 00 will be available in a plug in hybrid. A beautiful blast from the past and an extremely rare one at that. Is driving a piece of automotive history the porsche name is displayed proudly at the back but this car was built into switzerland not in porches home town of stuttgart. The. Stuff explains that when the also industry was in its infancy cars were made by hand the big manufacturers only provided the shaft the engine and the fittings customers had to wall of the body individually from a coach make. It up by the 950 s. This practice was rare but the beutler firm from switzerland continue to do excellent body work. One example is this wonderful to play a 957 volkswagen porsche 696 thats the one. Ounce the Football Club had already established contacts of porter back in 19486 of the very 1st porsche 356 is had bodies made by the bottle brothers including the oldest Series Production porsche still in existence car numbers 003 but the coach makers had aspirations of there are. An elegant if you play with forcing some superior engineering that tries like a sports. Car impossible. No see thats the flights point if they acquired the shattering of a v. W. Bug and began to hammer out a suitable body and this was the fruits of their labor by the porsche pointless 696 a real i catch. The body of the porsche 696 was made entirely of a mini in this particular ford or coupe a was fitted with an engine that normally powered porsche sportscast the other boiler 6. 00 and 6. 00 is used to reliable and cheaper mass production engine produced by france like. Most players were powered by the v. W. Beetle angel explains christophe with a judson compressor providing extra performance but that wasnt enough and this cars 1st hear that sound. Engineering in the back crystal says that the 4 cylinder boxer engine generated 75. 00 horsepower and pushed the coup play to a top speed of 165 kilometers an hour. Just the thing for those looking to live life in the fast lane in the late fiftys. Though its a product of the 1950s the bottle studies coolly understated but then the swiss do like to remain neutral the only extravagant feature is the mark radiator grille because in fact this cars engine is in the rear. Of the interiors monochrome come askin looks smart with a radio from black and high quality leather upholstery the what the porsche was luxury us and suitable for everyday use. The trunk at the front can hold quite a lot more than just a golf bag. And here at the back is the legendary Porsche Boxster engine from the 356. Its twins carburetors allowed to generate 75. 00 horsepower with this engine alone cost 3600. 00 swiss francs more than the standard v. W. One. Says its worth every song to. Be flitting between the classy old resort towns of the island of the boyd local sure is really in its element because in its day only the rich can afford to own one. Crystal says in 157 this could play so for almost 20000 swiss francs as much as for standard volkswagen beetles but exclusivity has its price and the swiss could afford the Better Things in life. Still switzerland is a small country so just for these who pays what ever solve. The 5th one for himself and drove it until the 1990 s. They are. Just 5 of these upscale cars were ever built using engineering borrowed from porsche and false flag and and a hand hammered body from a small swiss coach michel so can the boy play really qualify as a milestone in automotive history. You could put up one. Of those were the 1st in europe to make a 4 seater sports could play with outstanding driving characteristics it will be many years until cars like the v. W. Sirocco become free and open introduce the idea to the masses so for that reason christophe feels the i phone. There is definitely an automotive milestone and the boy who play is also one of the most beautiful cars ever made what a shame that the tradition of making car bodies by hand is slowly but surely dying out.
