side of love relative time to search the amount of play and the fight for the troops out of the book. in time to overcome boundaries. and connect the world. it's time for the t w d w d is coming up ahead. for minds. hello and welcome to drive and your motor magazine on the w. coming up a magnificent classic strikingly streamlined contract. popping the top in the fee of $124.00 spyder. and a v.w. touring now packs of.

pristine natural environment millions of years old the perfect place to relax go hiking or drive around ok i would use all 10 to misuse it for our car expert might discourage admits that the vehicle he's testing today isn't exactly politically correct in fact it's just the opposite after all who needs heavy a diesel engine in an s.u.v. a vehicle most of us don't need either. the point is what are you going to use the s.u.v. for that's why he's come to iceland off roading is illegal here so people need a car they can use to drive around on the streets and highway. but the term street he says means something different here than it does back and germany on the.

streets here present all sorts of obstacles gravel. rocks mud and even rivers. you never know what you'll find around the next curve so it's good that the turing v 8 comes equipped with a height adjustable pneumatic says. pension system that features a maximum ground clearance of 258 millimeters he that will show up this says the touring has a lot more to offer than you might think and you can get a feeling for the awesome power of this vehicle just by looking at it although some of the models competitors try to think come across as a bit over the top. most people buy this s.u.v. for performance not for looks 85 percent of all touring models are sold to people

who live in rural areas not big city of course that doesn't mean that these vehicles are used exclusively in the countryside but that number is still way above average for the s.u.v. class. that's where the egmont is points out to the tour aig is 1st and foremost in s.u.v.s by not enough road or in the traditional sense. for example there's no off road gear reduction or differential locks but the cars are electrical in their suspension systems still do a good job of getting you to places where you wouldn't think a car could go he said behold the. ringback item alter he cut. the touring speak for leader engine features a power output of $310.00 kilowatts and 900 meters of torque p.w.

says it burns an average of 7.4 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers but the actual figure is closer to 9 liters still for a high performance vehicle like this one that's not bad. the v.a. version of the tour it doesn't look that different from the 6 cylinder version it just sports a few extra logos here and there and comes standard with chrome fittings the. they're available only as options on other models even after a hard day on the roads of iceland this vehicle still retains a certain understated elegance. the models name is spelled out in silver letters and back. in the tail lights are large.

the exhaust system meets european 60 standards which are pretty strict. the jury v 8 offers a number of features as standard than are options on other models the basic price for the s.u.v. insure many is 90000 euro us but if you want to add some extras the price could quickly rise to over 100000 so the question is why spend all that money on a top of the line s.u.v. that's just going to get banged up while you're driving around out in the countryside. to get. either the help couldn't muster says a lot of people buy this vehicle because it's got enough power to pull a heavy trailer like up to 3 and a half tons in fact that's where a big engine comes in handy and touring can haul

a trailer into remote mountainous areas that most other vehicles could not. be in this style of bag able to apply this because when off road. 3 quarters of all people who fly a touring be 8 order the electronic trailer coupling device and even if you're not pulling a trailer you could always use the s.u.v. to pull another car out of a ditch. how did i learn what i says that the tearing the 6 is basically just as good as cousin so you have to ask yourself whether you're really going to need all that extra engine performance but since the v.a. doesn't use a lot more fuel than the v 6 version there's no reason not to go for it i thought.

well in it. it's time for the opel astra to get another facelift it's been 4 years since the last one after all the astra brand has been around since $99.00 he won his predecessor the opel cadette made his debut in 1936 so when see what's new about the 2019 astra since the brand was taken over by peugeot in 2017 we can probably expect to find some french technology here. come the artistry model o'shea versus the most important new feature is the 3 cylinder engine capacity options range from one to 1.5 liters but the engine was designed by opel not usual. to go to a pickle and. there's

a diesel option and 2 different gasoline models with performances that range from $77.00 to $107.00 kilowatts. the amount i was test car features the $94.00 kilowatt version but even in the lower engine performance range this vehicle has a lot of get up and go at least until you get out onto the autobahn engine performance drops off the. a little at higher speeds. has good acceleration 0 to 100 kilometers in just under 10 seconds top speed is 215 kilometers per hour. the new ashtray engines are about 20 percent more fuel efficient than the old one.

nothing to do with the amount of oil points out that the asterisk overall design hasn't changed a lot at least up front though they've made a few changes to the front bumper. and the new grille really stands out with these chrome wings this design makes the front end a look over the wider yes. the answer is aerodynamic design has been improved to increase fuel consumption one new design feature is the use of adjustable flaps behind the grill other match to the car doesn't look a lot different from older models and the back end is identical. to. the un peu monaco says that they've made a few minor adjustments in the interior design away including a number 3 to the infotainment system and apple car play and android auto are both

available and that's good news for people who prefer google maps to the car's built in navigation system about this in town not to get there once the themes are met but not. enough to get. here's a new feature a semi digital instrument panel. there's a board in the center console where you can plug. new smartphone. the seats are quite comfortable just as they were in previous astra models as good news if you're headed out on a long drive. there's also a station wagon version called the sports true. but back to the 5 door sedan the shock absorbers have been redesigned and that makes for a comfortable ride a dynamic chancy option is also available but considering the engines relatively

modest performance a lot of people will probably pass on that. the face if you model says he likes the new astra but it needs a better engine that may happen in a couple of years when peugeot unveils the next generation of this model which will be based on its technology. to get the whole. aster is no longer available with a natural gas powered engine but that could change in the years to come as peugeot comes up with a new design it's highly likely that the new lineup will include an astro plug in hybrid. b.m.w. has extended its high end series of grand touring cars with the addition of a 4 door sports model based closely on the 2 door version the new grand prix claims

to bridge the gap between sportiness and long range comfort because it's 6 centimeters taller and has a wheel base that's 20 centimeters wider there's a lot more space inside than in the smaller 8 series sports car but with $250.00 kilowatts of power under the hood a grand coupe a can still hit 100 kilometers an hour and under 4 seconds prices in germany start at 9. the 1500 euro. with the $208.00 has released the fully electric version of its population many visually the new model is nearly identical to its fuel driven brother which has also gone through a facelift and relaunch the 208 features a 50 kilowatt capacity battery which gives it a range of up to 340 kilometers and of its hook up to a rapid charge $100.00 kilowatt station the battery can be loaded up to 80 percent in just 30 minutes.

if testing the fi had $124.00 spyder he says the critics claim it's little more than a knockoff of the mass to m x 5 cars come off the same assembly line in hiroshima so let's find out what the spider has to offer. but if i tell a sprint. let's start by taking a look back at the roots of the fee of $124.00 spyder when at and operated soft top even in 1966 was one of the models trademark characteristics over half a century has passed since the current models ancestor 1st hit the road for some things have stayed the same. back then as now people who bought this car like to feel the wind in their hair.

another thing that hasn't changed is that the spider still has rear wheel drive and just like the 1st of its kind today's model packs a 1.4 metre engine but of course it's grown more powerful back in 1966 it only put out 66 kilowatts of power the sporty is variant of the new 125 spider the abarth version churns out 125 kilowatts. on the outside fiat's designers have brought back the 1960 s. in other ways like the round headlights that sit over the blinkers as was the shape of the grill. and also like earlier models the latest spider features twin powered domes on the hood that give it a receiver look and civil with a classic sports car proportions are obvious with

a long hood and wheel base and short overhang. one big reason why the 124 spider is so light be easy to manage soft top. unlike the monster a m x 5 which is built on the same platform the fiance exhaust pipes peep out to the right and left. and while the mazda uses a naturally aspirated engine the fi out is powered by a turbo charged $1.00 leader gasoline driven motor. could put so $103.00 kilowatts of power which can push the spider to 100 kilometers an hour in a respectable 7.5 seconds its top speed is 217 kilometers an hour also

unlike the mazda which only comes with a 6 gearstick you can order a spider that has an automatic transmission but lewis decided to test the manual version. but he says the handling of sporty in the car reaction quickly when you hit the gas towards the gears are tight he adds and steering is very precise. as it does that lewis says that when he found out that he was going to test this car he wondered whether $140.00 horsepower it was really enough for a roadster and that he says it is and this car is lots of fun on country roads. and that's largely due to the spider's lightweight just a little over 1100 kilograms with peak torque at 240 newton meters which are reached at just $2250.00 r.p.m. the spider is powerful and sporty in the middle of its river range. as we say lewis has surprised and pleased about how quickly and precisely the spider takes curbs.

in general although there is some overlap between the 2 models when it comes to price the fia costs more than the mazda who was took out the new so trim package which includes $17.00 inch wheels leather seats and automatic climate control inside the fee at $124.00 spyder and mazda m.x. 5 look and feel very similar. in both cars the tech ometer occupies a central position. and among the gauge. and the center console is also pretty much identical one drawback is the lack of trunk room another is that the seats can't be adjusted for height. but in the moment the us has the interior is really minimalist there isn't even

a couple there but he doesn't matter the way that fiat's solve the question of the convertible top all you have to do is unhook it here and push backwards. if yes i do it says the feet i want $24.00 spider has a lot going for obvious and child and it's a lot of fun on the road but it also has a couple of negative points like the lack of storage options and adjusting the seats can be difficult or is it supposed. is a recommendation from potential buyers definitely try out the seats before signing a check. one of the pioneers of aerodynamics has put to the test. patrick

87. the brand contra ranks among the world's oldest automobile manufacturers he began producing motor cars as early as $897.00 and what's now the czech republic. vs the facts our current tester christophe our explains that the 1st cars to come out of corruption need to still carry the name as well door that's what the town was called before world war one when it still belongs. and. is also the only town as far as he's aware to have a car and its coat of arms proving just how important the industry was for the region in 1900 the company changed its name to tottering after the highest mountain in former czechoslovakia the austrian car maker hans living in his team creating truly revolutionary designs and christophe also mentions of a streamlined shake up of the brand's most iconic feature in

a brand new concept that. the 1st streamlining experiments began in the 1920 s. a new teardrop shaped body was used to minimize air resistance max my speed and reduce fuel consumption. and i diverse range of different vehicles including airships aircraft trains and of course cars. but how does he not christoph explains that the tatra even 7 and its direct predecessor the $77.00 were some of the world's 1st vehicles to be developed in a wind tunnel the engineers in listed hungary unsettling builder. for help christophe says the most successful product of their ambitious research was arguably this car that time trading 7 presented in 1936 with a drag coefficient of just 0.36 and that's still very impressive today.

one that comes. to. a modest $75.00 horsepower is still enough to accelerate the tatra $87.00 to over 150 kilometers per hour with a recommended cruising speed of $135.00 in the 1930 s. that was one of the world's fastest series production vehicles. christophe recommends taking your foot off the gas to really experience how streamline. and the car is it just carries on rolling totally unaffected by the wind and of course less air resistance means lower fuel consumption because this car uses just 12.2 liters per 100 kilometers if most cars i was similar performance would get through twice that again christophe would say it's a cross between a luxury sedan it was and a super car and a miracle of fuel consumption which nowadays he says is a real rarity sulfides about

a way to save. i think him in the interior too he's surrounded by pure luck sheree leather as far as the eye can see fit and this is ours to coast style cockade has so many but one has no owner couldn't possibly know what they all do with my bureaucracy. he also mentions the fantastic streamline with the shy and tail fin attached in the center . it's supposed to provide a smoother drive at high speeds and you might have noticed a similarity to the v.w. beetle says christophe and that's not just a coincidence the builder hunts lead vehicle was good friends with a fair number for sure the father of all swag imports fog so who still whose idea of well it's certainly a bone of contention and christophe staying well out of it took.

the front section with its 3 headlights is one of the most striking features of the top $287.00 along with its enormous air scoop to ventilate the rear engine and its unique silhouette with covered aerodynamic rear wheels. the craftsmanship is without a doubt a 1st rate. but there's one very odd design flaw the trunk is only accessible from the inside. but still the trick $87.00 is an undisputed jemma pre-war automotive design a true work of art. i'm christopher explains that in this totter of the engine isn't fitted at the

front but under a gigantic could at the back it's an air cooled v 8 engine with a 3 liter displacement from an overhead camshafts and $75.00 horsepower and the engine block in transmission case are made from electron a super lightweight magnesium alloy which reduces the car's weight to just 1370 kilograms that's 500 kilograms less than historic predecessor. the 4 speed gearbox with unsynchronised 1st and 2nd gears does take some getting used to. and it's prone to a crash or 2 visibility out the back is awful this with wind shield and the dorsal fin restrict the field of view so what goes on behind the car is anyone's guess.

but the track trick is reliable check adventures and never. successfully travelled the world in the teeth 87 between 19471950. calls this a groundbreaking car that in its day was light years ahead of the competition but it was a rare beauty i'd heard. action was put on hold in 1939 as you because of the 2nd world war manufacturing resumes and continues into the 1950 s. but only 3023 models were ever built up a still guy was the 1st series production sedan recluse design was based on the aerodynamic research clean up in a wind tunnel so he feels the trip $87.00 is definitely a milestone in automotive history because it's different i might have tried

automobile shifts. one the company wouldn't continue today joshua only makes trucks . next time on drive it we put the porsche cayenne turbo se hybrid through its paces. and check out the pioneering fuel economy concept and the mazda c.x. 30.
