pretty. much of it. surely is from africa. your link to exceptional stories and discussion. is easy it's our website comes to join us on facebook. for. hello and welcome to driver the d.w. motor magazine coming up cutting edge navigation the opel insignia sports tour. robust all rounder the nissan qashqai. and dream convertible the b.m.w. 8 series. after

a break of more than a decade b.m.w. finally has a larger sports car in its range that b.m.w. 8 series a lancia the coupe a has now been followed by a convertible the new series marries both sporty performance and much rate. says it feels like the range of attractive convertibles in germany is getting ever smaller but today he's testing out an especially good looking specimen. chunky air intakes sleek l.e.d. headlights and the b.m.w. signature dual kidney grille dominate the front. along the hood emphasizing the low slung structure along with wide wheel arches the typical b.m.w. proportions. the wide sporty rear end features large exhaust outlets and blacks. around.

in them again says you can certainly enjoy life in an m 850 i like this one the engine under the hood is of course super powerful and he can choose whether he selects the comfort mode for a comfortable ride or the eco mode to save fuel and he can choose sport and even sport plus if he really wants to let rip with although he did cocker doesn't benefit i thought in sport models what often died in sport post-mortem or die gets that it is now. despite his weight of more than 2 tons the m $850.00 i convertible really sprints off the starting line that's all thanks to the $4.00 leader v a turbo charged gasoline engine that moves from 0 to $100.00 in 3.9 seconds the top speed has been a lot tronic lee limited to 250 kilometers per hour and germany prices for the top engine started nearly 134000 euro us the leg in size the steering is like

a 1000 inch braking system is super exact you can gauge it precisely and the 8 speed automatic transmission means it doesn't need to bother with the gears. the convertible comes with all wheel drive and sports differential as standard the electronically controlled rear axle differential lock i don't leave provides optimum traction it also helps with the accelerator out of the curve meaning you can really fly around those bands. and says he can close the roof in just 15 seconds while still driving up to a speed of 50 kilometers per hour the quick. nap of the leather upholstered features and sport whether steering wheel come a standard. if you wanted to really

swish you can opt for a start stop button and gear shift lever made of crystal. neck warmers integrated into the front headdress which blow out warm air on colder days are only available as an optional extra despite the high starting price which we think is pretty poor for their kind of my ends measures one meter 75 which is not particularly top if he can sit comfortably in the front but he wants to try out the back to front seat moose were done of course with the roof open getting it is easy so i. like this he's quite comfortable but now when he puts the driver seat set to his height back into position it's pushing against is neat. no one's going to want to sit here for longer journeys that. be entered active steering inhance is the overall sporty feel of the car up to a speed of 72 kilometers per hour the rear wheels are steered in the opposite

direction to the front this makes the steering a lot more precise and significantly reduces the turning radius. you have about this is the exhaust sounds great and he can make it louder if he wants so here you can choose between a more serene and reserves style or in your face loud when you opt for the sport or sport plus mody ivans yes likes it a lot with the v. 8 under the hood the enormous acceleration power and the sound of the exhaust it's enough to give anyone goosebumps but i don't want them that are coming up on full plate i'm the kind that gets the. journalist emmanuel shaffer says he just read an article in germany's biggest automotive magazine if they compared $21.00 cars from various manufacturers focusing on their infotainment systems one of them leapt out at him the opel

insignia why because it took a very respectable 5th place behind premium brands like porsche b.m.w. and mercedes which have cars in their lineup that cost twice or even 3 times as much that's reason enough to take a closer look at the opel. your. insignia is opals flagship model so it's one of the 1st they've outfitted with the latest generation infotainment systems a touch screen up to 8 inches in size is the heart of the system the premium version is the multimedia navvy pro which will get a look at. and if the a manual says no when it comes to an end 14 months is. if you wanted to be easy to use and to reach that's the case here everything's easily within reach and you can brace your hand while you're entering something in the next issue is connectivity there is apple car play and android auto but you do need

a keyboard it's not wireless yet. but you can connect your phone to the sat nav or infotainment system. to go do that now. that. will be. first pres and phone. to the phone and so. then go to bluetooth mode. then most see how long it takes to find it. a few seconds later the smart phone has detected the bluetooth connection and paired with it and i think this speech recognition system means you don't have to fiddle with the display while you're driving a manual gives senator. the manual tells you to drive to the deutsche vella and bon. the sets now have recognizes the voice commanding gets to work. from there is the best route the sat nav asked the man oh well if he wants to

head out. you know. because i was not in my nose as both a touch screen or voice commands work well and he finds the interior appealing but now it's time for him to leave the stage for a moment it's the place. where the tethered smartphone the system delivers traffic information in close to real time when the system is not connected it can use d.a.b. to access information carried by t. paid protocols that way you can always stay up to date the sat nav maps also stay up to date since format up days per year are included in the package. the insignias sports to refute yours along blows silhouette 18 inch alloy wheels and chrome trim extending all the way to the trunk add to the sporty look luggage

capacity is up to 1665 metres. out on the road b. insignia is add child and easy to handle on couriers at higher speeds when noise is more apparent but it's still within the acceptable range. with this car also has a head up display it's very practical you can always see how fast you're driving and the speed limit as long as the car is equipped with speed limit recognition like this one if you have a sat nav device you can see the next turn without taking your eyes off the road so it's very practical the big question often name was how does it out of the partition. this car is powered by a $121.00 kilowatt $1.00 leader turbo charged gasoline engine. it makes the spread from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour and 8.9 seconds and sports and time speed of 222 kilometers per hour and sure many of the sports tour innovation version starts in

about 36000 euros. about them within documentable gives his verdict the opel insignia is an absolutely solid car with its good showing on the comparison test is well deserved and if you want to cut costs a bit if you could easily do without the sat nav and the somewhat larger display even in the basic version the infotainment system supports android auto and apple car play then you just use your cell phone as a g.p.s. rather than buying a car equipped with one. beats that's the name of a us audio products manufacturer founded by rapper dr dre c.i. has now installed the company's premium sound system and a special edition of the. the it beats of beats side mirrors and fog lights and eclipse orange are just some of the features that enhance the beaches already

dynamic youthful mind. highlights in the interior include the sports seats with a beach design the provide more lateral support than the standard version the beads are also bose a well equipped infotainment system with an 8 inch color touch screen and a virtual cockpit that can be adapted to suit the driver's individual wishes a 300 watt amplifier with 8 channels of 7 premium loudspeakers ensure a great sound. so i thought of a car test of 100 guys and over wonders if you can really call the beats a small car. maybe not he says it measures 4.05 meters in length but consider that the goal for from 1907 to 2003 was just 9 centimeters longer by that standard

the beats that isn't all that small. i would not climbs in i know hold who's fairly tall has plenty of space and i'm out of things look in the rear. but i have space here too that's what and he concludes a respectable amount of leg room for a small car. conspicuous features on the exterior are at the grill in a shiny chrome diamond design and the l.e.d. headlights. and then there are the 16 absolute minimum rims and chrome framed windows. the original beats a look isn't swamped by the ever present beats logo rejuvenated. the trunk of cassidy can be varied thanks to the flexible seating configuration. they are

the biggest drug offers $262.00 to $1072.00 leaders and storage space which are chester says is just below average for its class less than the open course or the ford fiesta but the loading floor is even and the still is not too high finds. we take a spin in the beats of beats with the most powerful gasoline engine the one leader eco t.s.i. generates $85.00 kilowatts of power according to see at the a.b.c. uses $4.00 leaders of gas for 100 kilometers the sprint from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour takes 9.5 seconds and top speed is 193 kilometers per hour in germany prices for the beats of beads started to. around 28000 euros for sale is the i hope says the ambience is an especially important model for say that since its introduction in 1904 over 5500000 have been sold worldwide more than 600000 in germany alone

and it's basically a small version of a leon says guy not sporty steering and not a bit boring and it has what it takes to face up to the bigger rivals like a ford fiesta or the open course or. for the past 13 years that kind of guy has played the role of the urban crossover and the new son portfolio our entire test drive was plagued by bad weather but the qashqai took it all in stride as you would expect from an s.u.v. it feels very sure footed down the road but they want to find out how the car performs in various everyday driving situations.

newsome offers 5 different trim levels for the kind of guy we're testing the 2nd highest level they techno with us and from team and system and black design leather seats it even offers a certain sense of luxury. unites the car to stay in his crate he says the 19 inch wheels and smart wheel rams come standard with a technique she thinks they've had perfectly with the $4.00 metre long run a looking car. typical boomerang inspired l e d daytime running lights grace the front along with his son's iconic wii motion front grille. black plastic camels underlying the car's robust look around clarence's 18 centimeters on.

the window line keepers upward sharply towards the back of the car with the chrome surround directing attention to the roof spoiler. david listen i have put in a says the most important change can be found under the hood listen now offers a 1.3 liter gasoline engine without quarts of either 103 or 117 kilowatts they replace the old 1.2 and 1.6 liter inches today she's testing the smaller 103 kilowatt version. it takes 10.9 seconds to go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour this smaller gasoline engine has a top speed of 193 kilometers per hour the combination of engine version and trim

line that we tested is exactly in the middle of the overall price range. in a sense the 103 kilowatt gasoline engine always comes with a manual 6 speed transmission she notices that the throws are quite long and there's considerable resistance on the clutch pedal so it doesn't feel like such a dynamic right although the engine actually kicks in they fall $240.00 newton metres of torque at $1600.00 revolutions per minute. she now wants to test it on the german autobahn. of the outlands that of course the business of changing gears is not really an issue on the autobahn driving here is much better in is found that in the city a smart design feature with the wide seat pillar was actually a disadvantage she found it impacted her all round vision considerably 18 is also

thought the car felt overall a bit and cumbersome for the city and the thing. with that in mind it might be a good idea to order the onboard navigation system with all around view monitor where. $360.00 degree view many will find it helpful when reversing in the higher trim levels it's part of the standard fittings along with other safety features. in a says the car that she tested with the high level tech that package on the smaller gasoline engine costs roughly $30000.00 euros in germany she would be interested to know what the car feels like with a more powerful gasoline engine and 7 speed to a clutch transmission whether it would feel more dynamic and agile that would certainly be worth a try. after

all the more powerful engine offers an additional 14 kilowatts of power but if you're looking to go more off the road with a college try and need all wheel drive you won't get it once again so lean version you'll need instead to opt for the more powerful engine to diesel engines on offer . the porsche 924 is one of the biggest selling sports cars in history its origins go back to the early 1970 s. when voce wagon asked the company's engineers to develop a successor to the $914.00 a current they jointly developed. was put in i saw that artistically stuff power says the 924 was originally intended as well swag and flagship sports coupe

a it was even some talk about it being sold as an audi so the porsche engineers borrowed from the most wagon group's entire range of models with many of the small parts like the interior knobs and switches that wheel suspension and brake components come from the beetle take off and others had to leader 4 cylinder engine powered the audi one. and the voce wagon lp van but in 1974 the new v.w. boss tony smoker bailed out due to the oil crisis and potential competition with v.w. own sure rocco he decided to cancel the development project it's well for. porsche didn't give up. instead they brought the 924 to market themselves the new 924 was a ready made people's porsche exactly what the marketing team was looking for to appeal to a broader market and the 911 but the 924 was a world apart from the ad challenge 911.

back then the porsche disciples believe firmly in the trinity of the rear mounted engine and box are designed with air cooling the $924.00 had none of that plus the ignition was to the right of the steering wheel which was definitely not on it but at least the seats in the instruments came from the good old 911 which cost 32000 marks back in 1024 started in 23000 marks which brought in many new customers of course and it became a huge seller but decades later traditionalist still disparage the $124.00 as a housewife porsche flashed a fancy kept saying to speed that i think i feel it's right there at the white house called pos as i. for a time and even seem like the $911.00 his days were numbered which would have spelled the end of the traditional porsche design the watercooled front engine $924.00 looks sent to become the standard for future models.

one day and the 1st porsche with the front engine needed a bit of tweaking to meet the brand's reputation for sportiness christophe explains the engineers through on the trends actual principle me. engine in front transmission at the rear and nearly 2 metres of rigid metal in between but that help distribute weight evenly and ensure neutral handling qualities so it was a fast and competent right but not particularly spectacular as on the prospect that could. decide what if the portion 124 was designed by harm the guy who later became porsches head of design that he wasn't even 30 years old at the time his design featured a completely plane chassis with many flat surfaces pop up headlights and

a pointed snout the sleek design i needed a world leader in terms of aerodynamics its drag coefficient was a 0.36 which was among the lowest in the world for serious production cars another memorable and very practical element was the glass hatch which offered what was at the time the largest drug ever on a porsche plenty of room for your golf clubs i've got it but horses chief designer on a toll in the pine wasn't a fan he said whoever came up with this was someone who always wanted a ferrari but never got one kind of a come what that meant that bit back. today the understated 924 is seen as a timeless icon of design it echoed the wedge shape that was extremely popular at the time but with the rounded edges and corners from the late 1970 s. to the early 1990 s. nearly all porsche models mirrored this basic design.

the rear seat of the 2 plus 2 didn't offer much room though and exchange the $360.00 leader trunk of pasty was a standout in the sports car category of the potion i feel is the porsche 9. a 24 hour truce sportscar well look under the hood tells a different story with this water cooled 4 cylinder here you'll also find it in the audi $100.00 and a volkswagen in like an old man comes but here in porsche. tronic fuel injection system amps up the sportiness to give you 125 horsepower. so your ship your wrists may have turned up their noses but it was popular the original model with a 2 liter naturally aspirated engine had seals figures topping 120000.

christo says that many years after the model was retired in 1988 the disciples of the 911 finally began to praise this very successful compromise with its combination of usefulness good workmanship and acceptable sportiness plus the $920.00 four's popularity with buyers helped pull porsche out of a slump during the oil crisis it was the world's best selling sports car 40 years after its ancestor the $356.00 it was only the 2nd porsche to enter serious production with a 4 cylinder engine so the 1004 was definitely a milestone an automotive history. but the 924 and other front mounted engine models could knock the iconic porsche 911 from its throne even today the 911 is a porsche trademark meanwhile its transaxle models were taken out of the lineup in

the mid 1990.
