the motor sports, all of our scoring we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend on d w. that's the, that's the, that's the address is 189 years old. and as i'm breakable as this tax 11 and nano is from so as a and the trailblazer in the spinning theme and called it says on the road with the or a funky cat and compares the electric code to the meaning right now on read the

you could think today's test car is a mini, but it's not. instead it's the are of funky kids. and on user a companion, that's what they call medical claims and we'll pull that to the test right now. welcome through the aura brand belongs to the chinese conglomerate. great, wall motors, one of the chinese oldest major car makers. we are a funky, get rid of us. $127.00 kilowatts of power, and for a call that is around the small that feels rather sporty. so if you press the gas pedal, it goes off pretty fast. it has the ability to go from 0 to 100 miles an hour in a little more than 8 seconds. and the top speed is kept at $162.00, which is more than enough for every day driving is especially in the city of forest

. but also all the german auto body. you could use that car because you have a lot of places. well, there is max of $130000.00, so this car can handle that without a problem. the b r a funky cat 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 a range of either 310 kilometers or $420.00 for the bigger one. and that is quite some range for such a small car, especially if you plan to use it mainly in the city where small costs have the whole. basically, that is more than enough to take you to your workplace the whole week before you need to recharge the cost. that's quite nice. the,

the 1st thing that came to my mind when i saw the all funky cat, is it some what looks like a meaning the, and the many is also available in a purely electric version. and you wouldn't believe it. the mini asked the cheaper car. it comes into the wrong $35700.00 euros. follow the base vague, and in germany, and this call or a funky kid starts at around 38900 euro's so quite a bit more the, the more a still is, the better call. let me explain why the meaning has a very small battery. we talking about around 36 kilowatt hours of usable energy.

and that will give you a little more than 200 kilometers of range. and that is virtually nothing compared to the 310 kilometers to get in the entry level version of d r. so are on 100 kilometers more. that is quite a bit of usability that you gain with that car and dollar a funk. you can also have a lot of things that come as standards that you will not find in the meet the standard equipment. this includes the leather seats, a $360.00 degree camera and a bunch of driver assistance systems. first 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 so you can then simply press the brake pedal, put it too deep with this knob right here. it's a turning up. now already, all the costs that don't have

a start stop button. and once you're finished, you simply press p, get off the call, 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. now let's look at the interior. you have 2 screens, one with the answer and then plus the and the other one is info timing 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 height is 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 assistance is either operated by saying hello and then the name of the rent. 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, you can program it in. and then you can say things like mike. yes on he can you

open the window for me? the opening that does not only work with the pre record of things. so things that con, no, it's some sort of of the official intelligence and this call will learn from what you're saying. and then it will be able to, for example, put on the climate are open the window without you saying do this, i'll do that. but simply by saying that your heart. 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 a strike once. that's what happens. so choose a name that is not very common in the language you're using. video screen setup comes standard with the voice assistant is not only work for things inside of the car. hey mike, i'm listening. open the trunk up to date,

which is pretty practical. for example, in the winter when it will be dirty and you don't want to get your hands dirty, can use it or if you have hands full can use it as well. talking about the trunk, it can fit up to $850.00. a lead is with the receipts folded down. if you bring them back up, you left with 228 leaders, which is not exactly a huge s you can tell, but it's good enough for you a week. the grocery shopping, the general driving impression in this 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. the thing i really like in this car is the suspension. it is

a very good job of giving you a relax comfortable drive. at least it's not a usual thing. you will find in cars in that and small car segments the big i don't really like about the funds you get is the maximum charging speed and that is 60. busy kilowatt now considering that is a small car, it is only a minor drawback because small cost, as i mentioned, the you will not want to use them regularly for. busy long distance trips, so you will also not be in the need. all 3 charging your call fast. it will charge it at home at 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 just be a little past that because there are other costs and then segments that can do that with, for example,

100 kilowatt. and the are a funky can also comes with different dr modes. but what i find rob the strange is that the box and for it is found right here, the left on the steering wheel way usually found the light on all the cars. and if you press it, you would get the acoustic feedback and you can change between 4 modes of basically 3 modes that expired eco. and. busy you can also put it into all 0, then the call would choose the appropriate knowledge for your style of driving. further assistance is provided by blind spot assist. traffic jim assist lane keeping 8 and more all of these come 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 the euro and kept crash tests because it was one of the best vehicles in the small vehicle segments,

it has ever been tested. the, the raw, 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 call will find a lot of friends. just like the mini did. the only thing i'm a little concerned about is the price tag, because as a chinese manufacturer are coming to a market that already has a lot of all the causing 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 on all the, for the cat is very good alternative to the courage. many electric, smart voice assistance, a decent range and adequate space. you need to make it

a suitable everyday can. and on the downside, the charges slowly has limited trunk space and a fairly high price the up to move in a $1000000.00 to low. because this, the city's tax, the 11 is for the unbreakable. i'm the oldest cab driver around here. i would say i have driven here around 1955. the mercedes w 110 is 60 years old, and its driver owner is going strong at 89. the legends always on the move in the last 11 in the we jumped in for a ride with a veteran cab driver and is the machine well,

the good, well is even the most is a long and naturally pays. no one does to home get him. i learn how to drive who the bad the around here. everyone loves me. truth is everyone loves each other. here the cities together, the festival. and they said, omar, we were the king of the districts. that's how it was then somebody to come out after d, i can say that i loved everybody and everybody loves me by god's grace to

add up. when i was 21 and 1955, i got my driver's license and then started working as a taxi driver. we have at the very 1st here in the region, but i moved and then further away very well and we've travelled everywhere. the customers often came up to me and asked me, will you drive me to assemble? going back to this area, is that the ones that i always said yes. go on the right, by the, let me do. it isn't just a mom who's traveled far and wide, so 2 houses, necessities, the w 110 built between 196168 was particularly popular with cavities because of its reliability, comfort, and lots trunk. easy to recognize thanks to its short tail,

sends an image to american costs of the 60s of this does. yeah. hey, let me know if this car is my sweetheart and based on the engine, it's very old. i've got a lot of really good. i have at least 40 years old had that. is that a new and that the i bought it runs the and then how many kilometers has it run to minute actually i was in cherokee with it. i went as far as a symbol like that, but this car is all original. i haven't changed a thing for them. it simply runs, it's a wonderful car. this my original upholstery, i left it as it was. you guys have the head that these are tools and the spare parts, in case something happens when i draw as low as about about the source. i need them

the matter of having them say that i am independent as homeless and who will not allow the fizzy booth the car in 1975 picks names only thing is original except for replacement hood ornaments. i for the mercedes and the because i've tried and i've tested to i tried a toyota which is also good to you when i get that i used to have a toyota precedent, but that didn't stick with me to lie right. the but i just never so this machine is not, it's simply not for sale or i know nobody is selling this car. and what's more important? the cars are women when it's absolutely clear, i go out there for me. that's the car. i feel good in here. and everything just for

you as of right, i'm a 50 and that's why i'm or has been on liberties rides, with decades. he knows them like the back of his hand. and then, and that's normal as you seem is quite often here. that is, i love him because every month after they should learn how to drive my brother the bad weather. i guess that's why the car was acting up. the tank's empty. it's like this. so they all around $40000.00 registered taxi drivers and 11 and many without driver's licenses. 0 blackening the severe economic crisis. and the

high cost of field in the country, the foot was refilled. this societies is on the moves again. the was the very good the i love that i'm in the color of the older. it's been 10 years since i am or officially retired. he still drives his taxi, and people still want to ride within the form of the streets of lebanon on special, but tough to rain. but go, no problem,

let him know. and i know that people don't care about driving down. there's an accident. nobody cares how. that's going, that's why you need solid, strong cars, like the old classic cars allowed as otherwise you won't be able to handle the bad roads. i love you. we live at the omar and his mercedes off. that's an adaptive a challenge to legends from back to 11 in a match made in heaven. unplugged the cold, the king of king the,

a professor. so i mean for made was just one of those things, my brother, my life. by that he wasn't surprised because he wasn't through all of that. so for me it was just a natural thing. i, i started by getting myself this cos painted red because it was a different color. i struggled a lot with the engine until i made my mechanic. 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 east $36.00 engine. and it's a $3.00 to $8.00. liam's avenue. i'm east 30 model let of pallet also because well, no, not at all. so i just be the one of the piece that the engine for me. they want to see if anything riveted for me and i thing, but i don't get my hands to tea at all. i have a teams which has all of that for me, but every now and again, i get a show,
