Chevrolet Captiva


"The Captiva is available with a choice of two 2.2-litre diesel engines, producing either 161bhp or 181bhp. The latter feels reasonably brisk once you put some revs on, but a hesitant turbocharger means the initial pickup is sluggish. We haven’t yet driven the entry-level 161bhp version."

"I'm in the process of finding out what this is like to drive, but I don't know when I'm going to give the report but I will do".

0 - 62 mph (acceleration) 11 seconds.

Diesel  top speed 118 MPH.

It can have any colour leather seats as standard, but with a white car it is better to have black leather seats. Electric windows, front and back. Also includes cruise control in the luxuries.

This is an excellent car as it drives really well for a 5 series, but it isn't as luxurious as the seven series. It has two modes in the gearbox which are Eco Pro, comfort and sport.

Citeron berlingo


Citroen Berlingo 


Performance Figures: 1.6 litre engine turbo diesel with a 115 bhp and torque is 158 ft-lb. 0-62 is 17.1 seconds. Top speed in the book is 106 mph.


Handling: It hands surprisingly well around the bends for a car this size, the only downside is that the engine is underpowered, unless you are willing to keep it on the red line. Drives surprisingly well on the motorway providing you push the Rpm up to the red "6000rpm" If you are willing to do this the car will drive much better with the 1.6 engine which is the lowest turbo diesel engine you can get in this model, but you can get the 2.0 litre diesel which Is personally the one I recommend. The ride quality is perfect very compliant over bumps which you can barely feel when going over.

Description:
The exterior paint is gun metal grey metallic.
It has a Black and Grey cloth interior.

Its has a 5 speed manual gearbox
It drives average for a MPVS.

Luxuries.
It has got 16 inch alloy wheels and it has a single cd player and radio. Also included is air conditioning which is great. Electric windows in front. Plenty of room for one wheelchair. With three seated passengers. It also has front and rear parking sensors which can be very handy or very annoying because sometimes they can go off a little bit too early for the drivers liking.

BMW 320




BMW 320 diesel GT M sport 




Two litre single turbo diesel. 

"It's got 187 bhp. Torque 199 LB per ft.  0-62 is 7.1 [seconds].Top speed 146 mph. It does 125 [mph] very comfortably.


I'd leave it in sport plus and use paddles if you want to get the most out of the 2 litre. Apart from that it's really good. It's got an eight speed tiptronic automatic gearbox. Probably the best BMW that I've ever been in, it's that good. It handles like a go-kart, and drives really well.

you can leave this in sports plus and still use it in manual, there is pedals on the side of the steering wheel that is the best way to drive it. It also comes with black leather interior and cruise control. It comes with an entertainment system, with includes a CD player with iPod connect ability it is the same S5 the one that you get on the M5. The Satnav comes as standard, and it has a reversing camera, that has a speed camera warning. It has an electronic sunroof as an extra but it comes as standard with this model. It's got an electric tailgate fitted. It has electric windows all around.

It is the best motorway car I have ever been in for a BMW. It never lost power when you floored the throttle it reacted extremely lovely and I would be extremely happy to do an other motorway job anytime. the ride is a little bit harsh but it is still extremely comfortable. Black leather interior electronic panoramic sun roof and air con with single cd player. The BMW 320 has a 18in wheels.

Ford Kuga 2016 Model


Ford Kuga 2016 Model





The car drive is the best from a kuga yet. But go for the 4x4 cos thats the only one with the 2.0l 180bhp diesel engine.
It comes with either 148 or 180 bhp, don't go for the 148 as it is terribly underpowered.
148bhp:
            0-62mph: 10.1s
            Top speed: 121 mph.
            Torque: 236lb to ft
180bhp:
            0-62mph: 8.9 seconds
             Top speed: 126 mph
             Torque: 236lb to ft

        My sister has resently had problems with the 148 break horse power fuel pump because they are very tempermental but once they are replaced it shouldn't happen again but make sure the car is under warranty and it is a 200 pounds to replace.
The ride is absolutley terrible on the motorway because it is too bumpy. You don't get the 10 horse power with the 2 wheel drive it is 4 wheels drive only. Unless you pay extra for an upgrade. Both have ipod connectivity but with the titanim x it is nicer to drive. The Hundrend and eighty horse power you have more than enough power for the motor way runs, it drives well but the ride is still very bumpy, it could be a little bit more comfortible but apart from that it is very good. The 180 bhp is the best version yet, but now they also do a 150 horse powered feation os it which is okay as this is the engine I have in the galaxy and is a little bit underpower. The kuga will be ok as it is a little bit heavier if you don't want the one eighty get another car, simple as that. It also has heated windscreen

update: it drives incredible, for a mondeo. The drive is great, this is the best mondeo I have ever driven. The ride is really comfortable and you can make the most of the power. With either the manual or the automatic but if you go for the automatic leave it in sport mode and use the paddles to get the best out of it. I would personally go for the 6 speed manual. The automatic also comes in 6 speeds as well. It has air con, cruise control and sat nav as standard, with the titanium model. if you want leather you have to pay extra.

The  handling is astonishingly good.
On the motorway if performs extremely well. went you want to overtake extremely quickly just use the paddles on the side of the steering wheel.left hand side to go down the gear box, right hand side to go up.There is also sports mode to use as well. The vehicle has heated windscreens.
