9:30 pm
welcome to take talk with them about hackers and paralyzing the tire societies computers. then now some of you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can work for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. no. actually that, that, that m. r is 89 years old and as unbreakable as this taxi and lebanon nano is from the way. so, and the trailblazer in the spinning scene. and our contest is on the road with the or thank you, cass and compare the electric on to the me right now on rev with . c
9:31 pm
you could think today's test car is a mini, but it's not. instead it's b r a funky cat and on user a companion, that's what the car make claims and we'll pull that to the test right now. welcome to ref. your a brand belongs to the chinese conglomerate. great wall motors, one chinese oldest major car makers. the are a funky cat deliver $127.00. busy kilowatts of power and for a car that is rather small, that feels rather sporty. so if you press the gas pedal, it goes up pretty fast. it has the ability to go from 0 to $100.00, almost an hour in a little more than 8 seconds. and the top speed is at $160.00 and which is
9:32 pm
more than enough for every day driving, especially in the city or forth. but also, although german audubon, you could use that car because you have a lot of places. well, there is max of 130 kilometers an hour. so this car can handle that without a problem. the the ra funky cad is available with 2 different battery sizes. the entry level version 48 kilowatt hour. busy and the bigger 163 kilowatt hours, that will give you the ranges of either 310 kilometers or 420 for the bigger one. and that is quite some range for such a small ca, especially if you plan to use it mainly in the city where small cars have their home. basically that is more than enough to take you to your workplace the whole week before you need to recharge the car. that's quite nice.
9:33 pm
i. the 1st thing that came to my mind when i saw the or a funky cat is it somewhat looks like a mini ah, and the mini is also available in a purely electric version. and you wouldn't believe it. the mini s, the cheaper car comes in either on $35700.00 euro's for the base version in germany . and this caught the funky kid starts at around $38900.00 euro. so quite a bit more the laura still is the better call. let me explain why the mini as
9:34 pm
a very small. busy battery, we talking about around 36 kilowatt hours of usable energy. and that will give you little more than 200 minutes of range. and that is virtually nothing compared to the 310 kilometers you get in the entry level version of the aura. so are on 100 kilometers more, that is quite a bit of usability that you gain with that car. and dora funky had also had a lot of things that come standards that you will not find in many the standard equipment. please be leather seats, 360 degree camera and a bunch of driver assistance systems. the 1st thing you notice when you sit in the interior, the car does not have a start stop button. instead, it will light up once you get inside, and you can then simply press the brake pedal, put it to deal with this knob right here. it's
9:35 pm
a turning up now or the low cost that don't have a start stop button. once you're finished, you simply press p, get off the car, lock it, and then it will turn off. instead, you could also press a button that is right here behind the steering wheel that shuts down the car as well. but there is no need for that. you can simply get out and close it i. now let's look at the interior. you have 2 screens, one with the instrument cluster and the other one is infotainment and everything else. it is not that big. and as i'm sitting here right now, it is not that good to reach, but it's touch operated. so i did a little small for touch operation, but don't worry, you can also use most of the functions with a voice assistant. and that voice assistant is either operate by saying hello and then the name of the brand. i won't do it because it will then power on or you can give it your own name. if you have a name that you always liked,
9:36 pm
you can program it in. and then you can say things like mike. yes on he can you open the window for me? okay. opening ah, that does not only work with the pre recall of things, so things that car know it, some sort of artificial intelligence. this car will learn from what you're saying and then it will be able to, for example, put on the climate or open the window. busy without you saying do this, i'll do that, but simply by saying that you're hard, but you need to be aware of the fact that if you choose a name, that sounds a little bit like something else. for example, you're talking about the drake. once that's what happens. so to the name that is not very common in the language you're using, the dual screen set up comes standard for the voice assistant is not only work for things inside of the car. hey mike,
9:37 pm
i'm listening open the trunk which is pretty practical for example, in the winter or when it will be dirty and you don't want to get your hands dirty. can use it. or if you have hands for can use it as well. talking about the trunk, it can fit up to $850.00, a leaders with the receipts fall it down. if you bring them back up, you're left with 220 a leaders, which is not exactly huge as you can tell, but it's still enough for you a week. the grocery shopping the general driving impression in the car is pretty nice. it is silent in the interior, as i mentioned earlier, it also has a nice acceleration. of course, it's not a sports car, but you can go. busy into cars a little faster then with some other cars.
9:38 pm
the thing i really like in this car is the suspension. it does a very good job of giving you a relax comfortable drive, and this is not a usual thing. you will find in cars in that small car segment, ah, a big i don't really like about the funky cat is the maximum charging speed and that is 64. busy kilowatt now considering this is a small car, it is only a minor drawback because small cost, as i mentioned, you will not want to use them regularly for long distance trips. busy so you will also not be in the need of recharging your car, it will charge it at home with your wall box, ideally, or your workplace, and then you have the time because either you will be sleeping or you will be working. so that's no problem. but it would be better if it could charge the pastor,
9:39 pm
because there are other costs and then segment that can do that with, for example, $100.00 kilowatt. ah, the aura funky, can also comes with different dr modes. but what i find rather strange is that the button for it is found right here on the left, on the steering wheel, where you usually found the light on all the cars. if you press it, you will get acoustic feedback and you can choose. busy between 4 modes are basically 3 modes, sport, eco, and norma. you can also put it into auto, then the car will choose the appropriate knowledge for your style of driving. further assistance is provided by blind spot assist, traffic, genesis lane, keeping 8 and more. all of these come as standard or i'll put a lot of effort in this car and you can also see that by the result they've got in
9:40 pm
the euro and kept crashed as because it was one of the best vehicles in the small vehicle segment that has ever been tested? ah, the ra funky cad is definitely a funky car, especially with its unique and new features. for example, the voice assistant, i really liked it. it's learning. it's customizable. it's pretty cool. the design is quite cute. not exactly what i would buy for myself, but i'm quite sure this car will find a lot of friends just like the mini did. the only thing i'm a little concerned about is the price tech, because as a chinese manufacturer coming to a market that already has a lot of other cars in that segment. and then having a call that is a little more expensive, might alienate people before they realize that there is quite a lot in this call that you get for the money. all the funky cat is a very good alternative to the courage. many electric, the smart voice assistant,
9:41 pm
a decent rate gen. adequate space in the interior make it a suitable everyday contain. on the downside, the charges slowly has limited trunk space and a fairly high price to move in a 1000000 kilometers business daddy's taxi and lebanon is truly unbreakable. i'm the oldest cam drive around here. i would be a guy i've driven here since around 1955 the cities w $110.00 is 60 years old and if the driver omar is going strong at $89.00, g legend is always on the move in back, who knows lebanon with we jump in for a ride with
9:42 pm
a veteran cab driver and is the machine i got a new right? yeah. my good luck for one, even though i'm our most is the long it allegedly pays. no one dares to hon. get him. i learn how to drive that we were looking around here. everyone loves me. truth is everyone loves each other here than we're sitting together at a festival. and they said, oh more now why we're the king of the district. good. that's how it was a medical by advocate. i can say that i love everybody. everybody loves me by god's great a 1000000
9:43 pm
i. i had when i was 21 in 1955, i got my driver's license and then started working as a taxi driver. and we have at the 1st year in the region that i moved and then further away with that that i'm moving very well and we've traveled everywhere and i'm and with the customers often came up to me and asked me that program. will you drive me to is stumble. i don't need that to be serious. great. that is the last long hold. and i always say, yes, you're there that go around. i read it isn't just, i'm on his travelled far and wide. so to has his mercedes, the w 110 built between 961 and 68 was particularly popular with cabbies because of
9:44 pm
its reliability, comfort and large trunk. easy to recognise thanks to its short tail fence, an homage to american cause of the sixty's value hiddenwood north. this cars, my sweetheart and 8th, and the engine is very old. i've not received at least 40 years old and that is a renewal on that. but that blended runs, a wound a how many kilometers has it run? had that to me and i was in turkey with it. i went as far as it stumble. look, will you look like this? car is all original. i haven't changed the thing. good them, it simply runs, it's a wonderful car. with this, my original upholstery, i left it as it was bounded shuttered guy who
9:45 pm
had been these are tools and spare parts, in case something happens when i draw as, as well as the battle about lung shut. my little guy horse, i need them the mother of her goblet, i am independent. oh, more than that. and he went around and says he bought the car in 1975. mm hm. he claims only thing is original except for a replacement hood ornament. i prefer the mercedes available because i've tried, i've tested it. i tried a toyota, which is also good to have a good fit. i used to have a toyota crested in, but that didn't stick with me to lie right there, but i just never saw this machine is that it's simply not for sale. yeah, no, nobody is selling his car and what's more important cars or women? i think, yeah, well,
9:46 pm
it's absolutely clear. i go out there for me. yes. the car that you don't have a big i feel good in here and everything just for us. right? absolutely. i'm a fit for you. and that's why omar has been on lebanese roads for decades. he knows them like the back of his hand. and maybe that's normal, that seems quite often here a should learn how to drive. well, bad weather with brad, i guess that's why the car was acting up with that. when the tank's empty, it's like this. there are around $40000.00 registered taxi drivers in lebanon,
9:47 pm
many without driver's licenses. they will banking this severe economic crisis and the high cost of feel in the country. but once we field this is sadie. this on the news again with good, very good. again. i mean go on. hello hm. although it's been 10 years since omar officially retired. he still drives his taxi, and people still want to ride with that. for i'm on the streets of lebanon on special,
9:48 pm
but tough terrain. rugged morale, balloon levin. know people don't care well traveled, route bound. there's an accident. nobody cares one out. and let you know, that's why you need solid, strong cars, like the old classic cars allow that otherwise you won't be able to handle the bad roads. a really bad, but oh mar. and his mercedes are definitely up to the challenge, to legends from back in lebanon, much made in heaven, and from the cold, the king of kings, a blue moon. with

9:53 pm
parts. so you already know the found of they call it. okay. so i mean for me it was just one of those things. my brother, my brother, he wasn't too far cause he wasn't through all of that. so for me it was just an actual thing. i started by getting myself this car painted it, read because it was a different color. i struggled a lot with the engine until i made my mechanic and his name is poison. and he said to me, for a girl, i suggest to get an engine called a multi valve, which is what i have now inside there, it's converted to an e, $36.00 engine and it's a 328, b m, w, i'm e 30 model. lot of power. do you do like mechanical wasn't because well, no, not at all. i just be the one piece but the engine for me. they want to see if anything revenue for me and i think, but i don't get my hands dirty at all. i have
