literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see myself as the kids find strange growth. my only objective on air is to share with a friend beautiful. he does these books on youtube. drive it the d w motor magazine this week we look at an exclusive off road on the new mercedes 2 class. a cushy s.u.v. the citroën c 5 aircraft. and their snappy comeback falls new focus s t.

v contest turtle animal show for explains that the scientists u.v.'s of al compact offerings with powerful engines are still quite popular especially the honda civic type and the go to model the v.w. 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 it behind the steering wheel. presses the start button and listen to the engine sound. the hot hand chesty version 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'll 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 tightly. without the gears seem to have an even shorter throw than in the latest r.s. lots of fun. that also has a lot to do with. dept of damping and an electronic limited slip differential on the front axle and the selection of driving roads. in my experience is the focus s.t. steering as fairly direct so there is good feedback from the road but it also has relatively good self aligning chalk which means the steering wheel pulls back to the 12 o'clock position but that's a good thing as it allows the driver to turn the wheel back quicker and better so we're. working hard on the hood is a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine based on the one powering the old focus our ass the new focus puts out 206 kilowatts and pushes the car to the top speed of 250

kilometers per hour. in order to succeed in minimal exonerates rigs 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 6 seconds and the sound the engine produces is full and satisfying admittedly somewhat artificially synthesized but very distinctive even when heard by a bystander outside when the car flies past. i. the body styling can't sense the estes exterior apart from the regular focus. which 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 seeds are available on request for ideal support. an electronic brake servo with an adaptive main cylinder builds brake pressure more steadily and helps to prevent the fading in fact even after repeatedly hitting the brakes hard hat. therefore with this model points out that it's like the more powerful our ranch the focus s.t. features of the launch control but it questions its usefulness predicting that drivers would use it twice and decide they don't really need it but even so he

appreciates having it. in addition to the gasoline engine tested here a $140.00 kilowatt diesel is available for the s.t. just like its criticism of the latest s.g. can also be had as a station wagon which starts at 33000 euros in germany. my father emmanuel sums up the ford focus s.t. as a really well money top hatch known as aggressive and purist because the honda civic type but also not as white bread is the gold chain i think and it's a good mix and so much fun to drive you take it for another spin. and. these days almost every automaker has an s.u.v.

or 2 and it's lined up with real off road is a still a rare breed one that's been around for a while it's missing. in the. contest. so it feels like it's gone back in time. to when dinosaurs probably. he almost expects to see a tyrant saurus rex pass by. not exactly passed by. he feels like you sitting inside a dinosaur. that being the most aid is g. class. he's just gotten into the newest edition what matters says it doesn't feel as new as it looks for. god so no i mean. i was thinking. technologically speaking it's up to date yet all of its modern driver assists and entertainment systems can't hide its age.

matthew says the g. model dates back to 979 a time when german vehicles didn't offer much in the way of space they were all narrower shorter and lower than today's 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 opt for the best lawyer more. after. that stuff. so space is limited but the vehicle is bound to have other selling points right. i'm gonna spend on the matter says the mercedes g has one special talent just watching this. by going just 50 kilometers an hour can make the tires squeal just the way

a porsche $911.00 would when taking the same curve at 100 kilometers per hour i do wonder at all these fog. now that's really something of course the g 500 can go faster than 50 kilometers an hour it's 310 kilowatt for me to v. a twin turbo charger can excel. right these wall 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 that's difficult all downright impossible to achieve in practice . when it's. sitting so high up matches 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 can turn into our. place.

so the g. class isn't a great vehicle for parking garages. but maybe it's just right for canceled well as. they are simply our car tester says the mercedes g. class is immediately recognizable and the new version of change that. it's 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 then that's a stock. even if many of the stylistic elements remain the same like the windshield. the flat good. and 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. flatter and use technology. and masses if we go even further back to the yankees and to 979 when i was one of those introduced 4 years ago looked completely different again. that's out. practical features instead of smart chrome trim that was an advantage when traveling cross-country as were the 16 inch steel wheels considered quite large back then what hasn't changed over the years the turn signals are still found on the front wings. the spare tire is still mounted on the back.

there monday. this is both of these cars belong to. this wonderful castle where we've been invited today. after the 2 men say hello christian looks and sets things straight he says under the cars belong to him that he does host weddings that i can also like to greet their guests and today's happy matters is here with a nice altar. much as common as that a castle in the g. class and exactly things you need in daily life. this is a 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. any. matters imagines getting into the g. class in a flowing down would be a tight squeeze. christian admits there's not as much room as you think so he hopes the new version will offer much more space.

in find it a little credit for. those matters even though he's not short of them kristie i don't know if you can inclusions things the designers should have sacrificed a bit of cargo space to give passengers more leg room. glasses agrees but he says at least they have a great seat belts food and fun of the one who really doesn't like these events he thinks they're round shape contradicts the vehicles entire concept out all those. cushions suggest they sit up from time to test things out i'm mad as even lets him drive. in the puts it quickly becomes clear that the g. class is much more than a trendy and c.v. for hauling groceries though christian gives it a real workout in rugged terrain the vehicle takes everything in its stride. the arcus young man just ask question what he thinks. the biggest thrills

and holds a technological masterpiece that. if we like the business such a big difference to what he has now. there's no comparison christian says it drives like a dream no bombs nothing like that wouldn't go in absorbs the pipes look out a 2nd. clock what good is that if the vehicle is seldom or never used off road due to its high price or the fear of scratches and scrapes. with allan fels castle disappearing in the mirror behind him matches delivers his verdict i was counting cars down for he says you can understand concerns enthusiasm from the. samy's g. class really is a great vehicle for driving road. christian really wasn't driving slowly yet matus didn't feel it go over any potholes all sticks and stones on the ground. but he also did notice that the front rigid axle has been replaced by

independent suspension though in terms of off road capabilities the g. class still has 3 differential locks. so it's a great off roader so forgotten but imagine says mrs g. class is also a great gas guzzler so don't expect too much official fuel consumption and even though it's got more larger here it is still a tight fit. plus the vehicle is incredibly hard to maneuver matthew says lots of vehicles can do what the g. class can and do it better. the only thing they don't have is the following. so matches advice is buyers to look beyond the hype around purchasing a new vehicle.

and today can test it in israel trying out a new model in the s.u.v. segment the citroën c 5 aircraft available in germany since early 2019. but its main selling points would seem to be design and comfort. it's marketed in $92.00 countries and it is wants to find out how it hopes to win as hearts that. up to even sci fi there cross possesses all the features of an s.u.v. such as the wide skirts and the rounded flowing controls as major design elements. and the end of us points out a unique design feature. the front the split grow the upper part includes the daytime running lights and turn signals while down below the head last words got an indentation to accommodate citron double chevron logo. bumper inserts

and bumps in different colors going to. happen looking at the sea far from the side of the roof is floating above the body in windows other carmakers have been playing with this effect as well it's the truth by making the pair as glossy black which also seems to stretch the body out. 5 across the black roof and set off from the body shape chrome trim. pick up those and both your apps that. highlight it the rear is the smart design of the tail lights with the 3 d. effect. the 1st thing is sees when she climbs into the c 5 a cross is the superbly up post and seeps. that's a decisive factor in making this s.u.v. so comfortable. it is

especially like the combination of materials which gives the interior both some high quality and a stylishly modern look the only part she doesn't like that much all the while the charging pads for a smart phone to her they look as if the designers had lost their aspiration a lot she would have liked a nice covering so the buttons for the driving modes are nearby and if you compare them with how charging seem a little slap dash or the look he doesn't. want she gives top racing to the illuminated storage compartment in the center console it accommodates even big water bottles. the modern design all but recall. as a digital copy table to display a diversity of information. for an especially comfortable ride citron is a critical european versions of the sci fi there cross with advanced comfort

suspension additional hydraulic stops allow for better absorption of jolts 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 a high strength to shine the air cross sells for just under 37000 euros in germany the base version starts at around 23000 euros. finnish finds the steering are giving her a good control of the car 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 wouldn't say the sport mode goes all that well with a suspension set primarily for comfort person issues prefers the normal and how that apps that it has that's where everything comes together in harmony and 8 gears shift smoothly and the car is 133 kilowatts optional use. this with. only half mile in is returns to the design pointing out a funny presentation of the speedometer. it loops. a bit like a time like. in the fight. when cynicism used this and sees it as one more expression of citron ambition to reinterpret and redesign everything. it may just be

a gimmick but it certainly grabs our attention. doesn't see this s.u.v. navigating the forests and meadows on the name and across tends to suggest it was made to float above like a cloud when that in fact it does the comfortable seats and suspension add up to a highly pleasant ride on journeys and short. and indeed the sci fi there cross does not come with all wheel drive but starting in late 2019 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 importers hunter understood.

the cost of 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 water the body individually from a coachmaker. by the 1950 s. this practice was rare but the beutler firm from switzerland continue to do excellent body work. one example is this wonderful cooper and 957 volkswagen porsche 696. ounce the football player had already established contact supporter back in one. in 486 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 4 seats and superior

engineering that tries like a sports car impossible. no surveillance that fights if they acquired the shasta of a v.w. bug and began to hammer out a suitable body and this was the fruit of their labor the porsche pointless 696 a real like catcher. 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 sports cars the other boys are $6.00 and $6.00 is used to reliable and cheaper mass production engine produced by. most point is what powered by the v.w. beetle engine explains christophe with a judson compressor providing extra performance but that wasn't enough and this car's 1st hear that sound. that

supported engineering in the back crystal says before still in a box or 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 fifty's. though it's a product of the 1950 s. the bottle style used coolly understated but then the swiss do like to remain neutral the only extravagant feature is the mark radio to grow because in fact this car's engine is in the rear. of the interiors monochrome color scheme looks smart with a radio. from blaupunkt and high quality leather upholstery the boiler porsche was most luxurious and suitable for everyday use. the trunk of the from an old quite a lot more than just the gulf bag. interior. and here at the back is the

legendary porsche boxster engine from the $356.00 its twin senate carburetors allowed to generate $75.00 horsepower this engine alone cost $3600.00 swiss francs more than the standard v.w. one policeman crystal says it's worth every song team that's in the top of the. flitting between the classy old resort towns of the island of aruba and the boiler pusher is really in its element because in its day only the rich can afford to own one. bus crystal says a 957 this coupe a sell for almost 20000 swiss francs as much as 4 standard volkswagen beetles but exclusivity has its price and the swiss could afford the better things in life. still switzerland is a small countries are just full of these coupons what ever solve. kept the faith one for himself and drove it until the 1990 s.

. there was. just 5 of these upscale cars were ever built using engineering borrowed from porsche and false value and a hand hammered body from a small swiss coach maker so can the boy a really qualify as a milestone in automotive history. he could put up the border brothers with 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 ford compression opel manta introduced the idea to the masses so for that reason christophe feels the funk slug and porsche boy there is definitely an automotive. and the boys love to play is also one of the most beautiful cars ever made what a shame the tradition of making comedies by hand is slowly but surely dying out. the boy.
