nissan offers 5 different trim levels for the kind of guy we're testing the 2nd highest level the techno with us and 14 month system and black design leather seats it even offers a certain sense of luxury. the not the car to stay in his crate he says the 19 inch wheels and smart wheel rams come standard with the technique she thinks they've had perfectly with a $4.00 metre long wide run a looking car. to big old boomeranging inspired l e d daytime running lights graced the front along with his sons' iconic wii motion friends grill. black plastic camels

underline the car's robust look around clarence's 18 centimeters on. the window line tapers upward sharply towards the back of the car with a crawl i'm surrounded directing attention to the roof spoiler. even listen i have but even says the most important change can be found under the hood listen now offers a 1.3 leader gasoline engine without quarts of either 103 or 117 kilowatts they replace the old 1.2 and 1.6 liter engines 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 kind of sky 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 not obama. 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 anus also thought the car felt overall a bit too big and cumbersome for the city. to begin. with that in mind it might be a good idea to order the onboard navigation system with all around if you monitor where. $360.00 degree view many will find it helpful when reversing in the higher trim levels it's part of a standard phoenix along with other safety features. in a set is 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 through a clutch transmission whether it would feel more dynamic and agile that would certainly be worth a try then off. after

all the more powerful engine offers and that additional 14 kilowatts of power but if you're looking to go more off the road with a conscious guy and need all wheel drive you won't get it once again so even version you'll need instead to opt for the more powerful of into diesel engines on offer. see. them 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 golf and others that to leader 4 cylinder engine powered the out in $100.00. and the voce wagon l.t.v. then but in 1974 the newly w boss tony smoker bailed out due to the oil crisis and potential competition with the w.'s own sure rocco he decided to cancel the development project it's well for . porsche didn't give up. and stead 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 add child 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 then the 1004 started in 23000 marks which brought in many new customers of course and it became a huge seller but decades later traditionalists still disparage the 924 as a housewife porsche flashed a fan thought kept saying to speed i'm back at that and i feel it's right there at the white house for all parts 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 portion design the watercooled front engine

$924.00 looks set to become the standard for future models. 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 of transmission if the rear and nearly 2 metres of rigid metal in between to get that help distribute weight even lay and ensure neutral handling qualities so it was a fast and competent right but not particularly spectacular as on the high spectacle. decide what it will be pushing 124 it was designed by harm the guy who later became porsches head of design but 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 point and snout the sleek design of meeting a world leader in terms of aerodynamics its drag coefficient was a 0.36 which was among the lowest in the world for series production cars another memorable and very practical element was the glass 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 porsche is chief designer out of tola pine wasn't a fan he said whoever came up with this was someone who always wanted a ferrari they might but never got one kind of a come out at the 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 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 their passion i was the porsche 9. 24 a true sports car well look under the hood tells a different story this water cooled 4 cylinder here you'll also find it in the audi 100 and a volkswagen l t a like an old man but here in porsche the cage had tronic fuel injection system and amps up the sportiness to give you 125 horsepower it's. so poor ship yours 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. that's a lot 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 $1000.00 and forced popularity with buyers pulled porsche out of a slump during the oil crisis it was the world's best selling sports car free 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 transactional models were taken out of the lineup in the mid 1990.
