we talked to those who began the struggle for freedom and those who showed personal courage. that no book was going no telephone call from was you know you've been in the courtroom we have heard the owner didn't surprise me i saw it coming 10 years before that is what's true and. what does it take to change the course of history. raising the curtain start september 30th on d w. hello and welcome to drive with a d w motor magazine this week we'll see if the ford ranger raptor is also at home in the city. has the luxury factor in the muzzle running quantrill fortune. and put those code

a company to the test. the market for city s.u.v.s is booming the ones made by both wagon right on the m q b a 0 platform they're called the t. cross and they say out a rona. from it it will kyung but here says until now skoda hasn't had a small city s.u.v. but the check car maker is changing that with the kmiec with the same corporation and the same platform you already know what the coming is like before you even drive it to something make it different or better than its 2 siblings. skoda has made s.u.v.s one of its cornerstones after the successful kodiak and garage they're now downsizing with the kemi the many changing queues make it difficult to tell them apart but the check 7 look north for inspiration. to the you

know it all 3 and humane names come from the language of the indigenous canadian people can make means 2nd skin. so is 2nd skin just superficial marketing taco or does the name fit like a glove. i might also go for john says you notice how much space there is in the can make more than you'd expect from a small car that's even considering its 2 siblings which are already quite spacious they can he has a bit more room for people on the tall side should be able to travel feeling relaxed not current and one of the fit. to get home and space skoda has really pushed the small car platform to its limits and given the can make a slightly longer wheelbase than the v.w. and say out models with a total length of 4.24 meters it's even bigger than compact cars that cost quite a bit more of those some may miss the t.
2:33 am
cross a sliding rear seat the trunk holds up to $1400.00 leaders who are around $100.00 more than its well swag an equivalent. and just as you'd expect from a skoda there's no shortage of clever features in the cammy like a magnetic flashlight and a nice scraper in the fuel filler flap. a new feature is the out of manically extending door edge protection which is intended to protect the coming from ugly scratches especially in the city. that the un says if you've ever driven a vehicle based on the m q b platform there won't be any surprises when it comes to driving behavior which isn't bad it means the steering is pleasantly direct without being too tight steering resistance is just right and the chassis absorbs any and even is quite well skoda are for sports seen since sports suspension as an option. but young
2:34 am
thinks you don't really need them because they don't really suit the more easygoing character of the car. engine output is easy going on the plus side it's good for the environment there are 3 gasoline engines and one diesel with output between $70.11 kilowatts to choose from we are testing the medium size gasoline engine a one liter 3 cylinder and puts out $85.00 kilowatts it powers the front wheel drive coming to 100 kilometers per hour and an acceptable 9.9 seconds the v.w. and the skoda are not available with all wheel drive because their shared platform is so small i wish i could see for john says one point of criticism of the earlier models faced was the interior with hard plastic surfaces if you take a look at the cammy it's a little different of course you'll find hard plastic here as well but you always have to keep the vehicle class and price in mind but otherwise it looks quite
2:35 am
stylish here and there are softer materials and a nice finish in the middle even though skoda is actually the cheaper alternative to a w. . the dashboard is pretty much identical to the sr model scholar the hatchback version of the kemi it comes with a $6.00 inch touchscreen as standard the 2 larger age or $9.00 inch displays as well as a fully digital virtual cockpit. chrysler with john says with a starting price of just under $18000.00 euros skoda is positioning the kemi between its 2 siblings its around $1000.00 euros more expensive than the $1700.00 euros cheaper than the tea crush when it comes to room it's clearly ahead it's also the highest. quality when it comes to workmanship in the materials he thinks people
2:36 am
who want more sportiness will probably prefer the those who need versatility for carrying things would likely choose the t. crush with a sliding rear seat everyone else will probably find the kmiec the best price performance ratio of the 3. best the price. you have any money on car just amount to skirts thinks about it only he thinks of a. beautiful beach holidays and sightseeing and of course i tell you cars. i'm one hand there are cars for the masses but there are also luxury cars the most are rocky brand has been around for a 100 years and the muzzle quattroporte debuted in 1963.
2:37 am
but his alter ego things quattroporte is the most unimaginatively name you could come up with yet as it means 4 doors imagine calling the v.w. go for door village. it's been a name of the car since 1963 and anyway we're interested in the current generation of the mazar quattroporte. about pollock so. we just talk about. it and how great the car looks. and that's also and thought it was always the plan because for lance time for right before. the quattroporte it is one of 5 models from the italian manufacturer it's available in 2 versions. a ground sport and with 2 engines a gas or diesel. our card testers sit in the elegant gone looser version with
2:38 am
a gasoline engine which is not produced by miles around he itself but by far ari and marinello. how do you like the car. it's nicely done with the chrome actually answering the instrumentation and the wood. but there's got to be something you don't like it why do i because it's your job and you always do. ok. that might not have won over by the placement of the paddle shifters and the other buttons and knobs front and back and all over there too compact and too close together he doesn't like this arrangement. thanks for this drawback the car cuts a fine figure from the driver's seat the materials are high quality and go well
2:39 am
together the instrument cluster with its chrome trim looks good too in the middle there is a large screen. still the infotainment display could be more up to date. the combination of ready brown leather and green fabric is unusual but stylish and just a matter of taste. and terms of engine sound the v 6 twin turbo doesn't come close to its predecessor with its v a naturally aspirated engine but one tree cars aren't immune to downsizing it has plenty of power though handling is extremely light for a car weighing almost 2 times. about looking at all but tell me how are you feeling back there you have enough room to room back here is also more than enough when. i
2:40 am
think about how much distance there is to the seat on front and the passenger seat is not as far forward as your driver's seat because you're not exactly a giant. i think that's a decent amount of space then we still have this center armrest with a cup holder. and that doesn't sound so great does it. by now that's being pretty picky don't you think but at this price. the gasoline engine model starts at $117000.00 euros in germany a mazda rotty fan is unlikely to be bothered by the little details now if the passion isn't there that's a problem that isn't an issue in the italian answer to the mercedes s. class still some things really annoy our testers. i don't think it's a good idea here that if you use the door armrest you always end up walking or unlocking the door maybe they should have put
2:41 am
a lock switch. somewhere other than where your hand did. i meet them on line on the. front it looks like a sports car with a narrow grill. montserrat he tried it conceals the radar technology another trademark the side air vents. from the side and sporty and at the same time very elegant. a short trunk lid underlines the agile book. our current tester. found quite
2:42 am
a lot to complain about but could the lecture areas had talian finally win them over after all. i know you still think want report is a stupid name but after my writing i have to say i like it very much of course it has a high price but also high performance how much does it have again. the b 620 under the hood puts 316 kilowatts part of that's in 360 kilowatt size that's 430 horsepower right that's an awful lot. but it's always easier to convince a driver that a car is greater than a passenger. so what do you think back there. it's hard for me to summarize this bothers me now the window opens
2:43 am
a little annoyances in this car like this no thanks you're already paying 140000 euros for this car and even a bit more even with all the equipment so i don't know if i would rather buy a cheaper car and then taken trip around the world. i was around he chose to wrap things up. why don't drive or say hi to each other in the afternoon because they already sorry each other at the repair shop in the morning. the ford ranger raptor is one powerful pickup truck. contest 3 money was schieffer already had the pleasure of driving the raptor before in the rugged barren. landscape america the raptor did well and didn't really have
2:44 am
any weak points but this kind of landscape is not really found in germany so that's why today he seeing how it does on the street and in the city especially when parking went into. the ranger raptor was developed by the ford performance department based on the ford f. 150 raptor which is not available in europe but back to the ranger what's it like on the back roads. and the model was pleasantly surprised him and he mentions the wide tires syce $285.00 with chunky off road tread he would have expected them to be much noisier on asphalt but that's not the case the raptor gets relatively loud at higher speeds especially on the highway but that's not really what it's meant for you can still easily drive longer distances so it's not
2:45 am
a problem. unlike its american counterpart the raptor is offered exclusively within 2 leader diesel engine that puts up 156 kilowatts and 500 new meters maximum torque. in the city the ranger raptor looks somewhat out of place with its 187 centimeter height and 5.36 meter length being 218 centimeters wide is also not an advantage in narrow streets. i think my motto mentions parking this time looking for a spot is easy because it's not too busy but the bigger the city the more difficult it becomes and the raptor can't fit and a lot of parking spaces because it's simply too long. let's put it to the
2:46 am
test. he must know was says parking spaces here are relatively small about it doesn't matter if you're looking for a parking spot in a village in a city or even in a big city and the cars parked close to each other and it's difficult to find a parking space. but with the rear view camera it's possible to maneuver. the ford ranger raptor looks like a regular pick up but in germany the ranger models are classed as larger delivery trucks this means that they also have to be insured as such which can be expensive something potential buyers need to keep in mind. the record definitely looks big with wyden fenders and
2:47 am
a massive radiator grille with ford lettering it certainly looks tough. they huge off road tires and the reinforced metal skin plate underlines the raptors offroad prowess. that owes a lot to especially tune fox suspension well known and off road sports. the running boards which make getting into his colossus easier stand down along the sides. there's a mad finish to the bed cover. and the logo on the tailgate. the raptor can to up to 2 and a half times. with
2:48 am
a 550 kilogram payload large and heavy objects can be easily transported in the bed it's what the pickup is built to do. the interior doesn't have much charm but goes very well with the rest of the truck apart from that there's nothing to complain about. behind the steering wheel you'll find the paddle shifters which are not made of plastic but metal. the raptor series has an info taman system with g.p.s. . the gears are shifted via a tense feed automatic transmission. there is more than enough room in the rear. says he knows that the ranger has good offroad qualities and come master even the
2:49 am
most difficult terrain like he saw in morocco that's why he says that will make another small detour here in germany given that. this is where the ranger raptor shows its strengths thanks to the standard we're locking differential both wheels can be driven independently depending on which has better grip. with the forming depth of 85 centimeters the raptor stands even taller than off road gems like the mercedes g. class and the jeep wrangler. this knob switches between 2 wheels and 4 wheel drive the raptor also offers various driving modes for different terrain conditions such as snow mud and sand.
2:50 am
i was not in the money well sums up by saying the ranger raptor is well suited for off road and highway driving although it's a bit different in the city what if thanks to its huge dimensions looking for a parking space can be a challenge its main talent is rough terrain this is doing it not least of all to the tires and when he looks at them he has one thought when they wear out are you placing them could be pretty expensive. blast from the past 11100 was an unsung trendsetter and 1957 board farting co's compact sedan helped to redefine the lower midrange segment as west germany's economic miracle took off the growing middle class began to assert their
2:51 am
individuality and look for a card to express it. just as current tester christopher tells it the hounds at 1100 was debuted at the geneva motor show in march 1057 still bearing the name go by at the 1100 the liath was a maker of 3 wheeler pickups and small trucks at the time entrepreneur carl borg had bought up 4 makers the lie of bride and lloyd. board fired had founded go alliance in 1928 back then minimalist 3 wheelers were in big demand partly because no driver's license was required for vehicles with engines smaller than 200 c.c.'s and 3 or fewer wheels. stuck with 3 wheels and loud gas guzzling 2 stroke engines well into the post-war era building compact vans and pickups like this at 400.
2:52 am
that's except your stuff sees no relation between those rattling 3 wheelers in the sleek compact sedan and indeed the 1100 had precious little to do with a long standing goal line of quality so it was powered by a newly designed 4 stroke 4 cylinder engine but even the otherwise inflexible car or guard realized that the persisting image problem could hurt sales so he revived the concert brand which had been part of his group before the 2nd world war and so 1958 they go liath 1100 became the hunza 1100. our nearly 60 year old tennis car has started rattling a little but in its day the hunza was state of the art the fully synchronized 4 speed transmission was gentle enough for the most delicate hands in 1960 the
2:53 am
antiquated dash mounted gear shift was replaced with a steering column mounted lever to semiautomatic sac so mad could be ordered as an extra the clutch pedal was now redundant a touch of the gear shift was enough to disengage and reengage the gears. now that if we're stuff likes the hint of sporty mischief and the attention to safety back then they may have not had all the airbags we have protecting us today but at least there was foam rubber in the dashboard and and the roof and the pillars in harlem and. in terms of design the han's an $1100.00 is a typical product of 1950 c.c.'s with rounded contours of the land sides it was called pong ton styling with an ops also practically obligatory tail fins with integrated tail lights that was a trend that came over to europe from the us on the whole christof thinks that.
2:54 am
1100 is a really smart mid-size. extraverted buyers could even order a luxury version in featured 2 tone paint job and more chrome than the base eco 1100 the most popular version was this 2 door sedan the station wagon and coupe a with flattened roofs have grown very rare. for a lower mid-range car the huns offered an excellent range of equipment with glove compartment and ashtray standard. they have a knack with christofferson press with a lemon hundreds engine a 4 cylinder boxer unit with a 1 point one leader capacity and 40 horsepower a more highly compressed version with 2 carburetors even many 55 horsepower quite
2:55 am
an achievement for a car was so little capacity but now. about 44000 pounds a 700 were sold and all of that still wasn't enough to cover the vehicles high development and production costs in 1981 the board hard group filed for bankruptcy and production of a smart mid-range car ceased. christof speculates that with his relative luxury is features high safety standards in advanced technology the hands of $1100.00 would very likely have still been going strong today after all individuality still counts and there's always demand for a niche market and car a board fried steak that wasn't always the case. as
