that's the un's previously ineffective policy. global 3060 minutes d w. take it personally. with the wonderful people in stories that make the game so special. true for. more than football longline. hello and welcome to drive with a d w motor magazine this week will see if the ford ranger raptor is also at home in the city. has the luxury factor in the muzzle running quattroporte. and put those code

a company to the test. the market for c.v. 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 v.w. t. cross and they say out a rona. find it 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 while you already know what the coming is like before you even drive it does something make a different or better than its 2 siblings. skoda has made as you viens one of its cornerstones after the successful kodiak and they're now downsizing with the kemi the many changing queues make it difficult to tell them apart but the checks ever look north for inspiration. tuvia know it all 3

names come from the language of the indigenous canadian people. second skin. so is 2nd skin just superficial marketing talk 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 each has a bit more room for people on the tall side should be able to travel feeling relaxed not current and one of the i'm going through. to get all that space skoda has really pushed the small car platform to its limits and given the kmiec 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.

cross a sliding rear seat the trunk holds up to $1400.00 leaders were around $100.00 more than its folks wagon 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 automatically extending door edge protection which is intended to protect the coming from ugly scratches especially in the city. official and 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 offer sports seats and sports suspension as an option. yun 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 sized gasoline engine a one leader 3 cylinder that puts out $85.00 kilowatts it powers the front wheel drive coming to 100 kilometers per hour and an acceptable 9.9 seconds of e.w.n. the skoda are not available with all wheel drive because their shared platform is so small i wish i could go on says one point of criticism of the earlier models faced was the interior with hard plastic surfaces if you take a look at the cameo 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

stylish here and there are softer materials and a nice finish in the middle even though skoda is actually in 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 gauge or $9.00 inch displays as well as a fully digital virtual cockpit confidential for a. price make with the on says with a starting price of just under $18000.00 euros skoda is positioning the kemi between its 2 siblings it's around $1000.00 euros more expensive than the $1700.00 euros cheaper than the t. cross when it comes to room it's clearly ahead it's also the highest. all of it

when it comes to workmanship in the materials he thinks people who want more sportiness will probably prefer the iran or those who need versatility for carrying things would likely choose the t. cross with a sliding rear seat everyone else will probably find the kmiec the best price performance ratio of the 3. best to present as though. you have any money on car just a month is correct thinks about italy he thinks about a. beautiful beach holidays and sightseeing and of course i tell you no cars. i'm one hand there are cars for the masses but there are also luxury cars the montserrat the brand has been around for a 100 years and the muzzle quattroporte debuted in 1983 about.

but his alter ego thinks quattroporte is the most. name you could come up with yet as it means 4 doors imagine calling the v.w. golf or door village. been a name of the car since 1963 and anyway we're interested in the current generation of the muslim quattroporte. that we just talk about. and how great the car looks. thought it was always the plan. for lance time for right before. the quattroporte it is one of 5 models from the italian manufacturer it's available in 2 versions. and graham sport and with 2 engines a gas or diesel. our card testers sit in the elegant vaughan muso version with

a gasoline engine which is not produced by montserrat he itself but by far ari and marinello. so how do you like the car. it's nicely done with the actual answer and 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 this reliance that might be nice not one 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

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 grey 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 a naturally aspirated engine but much recoveries aren't immune to downsizing it has plenty of power though handling is extremely light for a car weighing almost 2 tons. of tell me how are you feeling back there do you have enough room to room back here is also more than enough when i.

think about how much distance there is to the seat in front and the passenger seat is not as far forward as your driver's seat because you're not exactly a giant. and 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 about better at this price. the gasoline engine model starts at $117000.00 euros in germany among the fan is unlikely to be bothered by 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 the lock switch. somewhere other than where

your hand is. and i mean my light on the. front it looks like a sports car with a narrow grill. with. the montserrat he tried and 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 add jiah look. our current testers. found quite

a lot to complain about but could the luxury of said finally win them over after all. i know you still think want report is a stupid name but after my writing late 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 but i would argue that the v $620.00 under the hood puts out $316.00 kilowatts. 116 kilowatts 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

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. about it as i am i was around 3 choke to wrap things up. why don't i must 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. at the contest 3 money was shaved for already had the pleasure of driving the raptor before in the rugged barren. and schipa morocco the raptor did well and

didn't really have 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 sized to $85.00 with a chunky offroad 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

a problem as the pulpit. unlike its american counterpart the raptor is on for an exclusively with an 2 leader diesel engine that puts up 156 kilowatts and 500 new meters maximum torque. in the city the ranger rafter looks somewhat out of place with its 187 centimeter height and 5.36 metre 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 sydney 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

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 or 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 pickup 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 raptor definitely looks big with widen fenders and

a massive radiator grille with ford lettering and certainly looks tough. they huge off road tires and the reinforced metal skid plate underlines the ranters offroad prowess. that owes a lot to especially tune fox suspension well known in off road sports. the running boards which make getting into this colossus easier stand down along the sides. there's a mad finish to the bedcovers. and the logo on the tailgate. the raptor can to up to 2 and a half times. with

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 you 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

most difficult terrain mikey's son morocco that's why he says that will make another small detour here in germany. this is where the ranger raptor shows its strengths thanks to the standard rear locking differential both wheels can be driven independently depending on which has better grip. with of forming depth of 85 centimeters the raptor stands even taller than off road gems like the mercedes g. class and the jeep wrangler. business i'm switches between 2 wheels and 4 wheel drive around are also offers various driving those for different terrain conditions such as snow mud and sand.

the minimal 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 but its main talent is rough terrain this is doing it not least of all to the tires and when he looks at them he is one thought when they were placing them could be pretty expensive. to. blast from the past 11100 was an unsung trendsetter and 1957 born 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

individuality and look for a card to express it. just as current has to christopher tells it the hounds at 1100 was debuted at the geneva motor show in march 1057 still bearing the name the 1100 alliance was a maker of 3 wheeler pickups and small trucks at the time entrepreneur carl borg had bought up 4 makers. and lloyd. board fired had founded go i n's 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.

let's accept 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 goliath quality so it was powered by a newly designed 4 stroke 4 cylinder engine but even the otherwise inflexible car on board fired realize that the persisting image problem could hurt sales so he revived the concept 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 test car has started rattling a little but in its day the hans it was state of the art the fully synchronized 4 speed transmission was gentle enough for the most delicate hands and one $960.00

the 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. 1004 stuff likes the hint of sporty mr and the attention the safety back then they may have not have 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 if that in terms of design the han's an $1100.00 is a typical product of 1950 c.m.'s with rounded contours of flat sides it was called pong ton styling with an ops also practically obligatory tailfins with integrated a tail lights that was a trend that came over to europe from the us on the whole christof thinks the high . 1100 is

a really smart mid-size car. extraverted buyers could even order a luxury version in featured 2 tone paint job and more chrome than the basic 1100 the most popular version was this 2 door sedan the station wagon and coupe a with flat 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 mac with christofferson press with the hands of a lemon hundreds engine a 4 cylinder boxer unit with a 1 point one liter capacity and 40 horsepower a more highly compressed version with 2 carburetors even manny's 55 horsepower

quite an achievement for a car was sold little capacity. at. about 44000 pounds a 703 sold in all but that still wasn't enough to cover the vehicles high development and production costs in 1981 the board group filed for bankruptcy and production of a smart mid-range car ceased. christof speculates that with its relatively look serious features high safety standards in advanced technology the huns i led 100 would very likely have still been going strong today after all individuality still counts and there's always demand for a niche market and karl borg writes day that wasn't always the case but i. the

precursor to exclusive but smaller mid-range cars for demanding buyers the hansal levon 100 is definitely a milestone in automotive history. and
