3 litre twin turbo v6 diesel engine

top speed 155

It drives great, really responsive providing you use it in sport mode and use the paddles. black leather interior, air con and heated seats all round. electric tailgate. You can get a five or seven seat version but with 7 seat you have no boot space so i would personally stick with the 5 seat version.  if you go for the seven seat version the back two seats are only good for children because there is no leg room whatsoever. its fantastically strong on the motorway when you go on long journeys. handles really well round the lanes you shouldn't need any more than a v6 but if you do there is a v8 diesel version if you need it. but you shouldn't need it the v6 is more than adequate providing you go for the three litre.

Renault Master

Renault Master 2012

Engine is 2.3 tdci 6 speed tiptronic automatic gearbox but it responds better if you use it as a manual. I think it's a four-cylinder single turbo diesel.

Top speed is 87 mph

Great bus. Very comfortable, but the gearbox is terrible, it doesn't change up quick enough and you end up over-revving it but over all it`s very reliable. It's got a USB port for music, you can put your iPod into it. Great radio.  it has a red cloth interior and captan chairs in the front. It is better to use  gearbox in manual   


It's the most comfortable bus we've ever had. The suspension is brilliant, especially at the back. It's got a nice interior and the A/C is good. It has electric windows in the front but manual in the back with a manual sunroof. 


Handling: it handles really well around the bends when you chuck it about.You can chuck it about with ease, it takes everything you give it without moaning.
The only downside is the steering lock is awful but it's still a fantastic bus that I wouldn't change for anything.

it works really well on the motorway its best if you keep the limiter off as the limiter gets in the way. The Renault master has an  automatic gear box that can reach around 76 and a half thousand miles.

That's it really.

FORD C-MAX (2013)

I haven't driven this yet, but I've driven the 2011 one, which was only a five seater. This new one is a seven seater, so it could be a bit more practical, which it will be. I would say after looking at this, you'd need the 2.0 litre diesel, if you want the performance. the 1.0 litre would take you half-a-year to get up to 60. The smaller engine could be a bit gutless. By looking at the weight and size of it, lets say it would be a bit under powered. Also comes with heated windscreen.

Some facts: Ford C-MAX 2.0 TDCi Titanium X 5d. Engine: 2.0 Turbo Diesel. 160bhp. 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds. Top speed: 130 mph. MPG: 57. 6-speed manual. Facts from Parkers.

For optional extras parking sensors front and rear are what I would add. Especially with drivers who don't know how to park.

It's got a voice activated sat-nav. It's got hands free phone connectivity. Leather seats. Basically all the stuff Merc's have got.

0-62mph in 6.2 seconds.
Top speed 155 mph.
BHP is 254
Torque: 457 ft/lb

its got black leather with white piping. I do not think this drives as well as the 535 but it does drive well for a merc. it goes really well on the motorway, the engine is really responsive if you leave it in sports mode, which I highly recommend. it is really comfortable for long motorway journeys, but not as comfortable as my current car which is the audi A8 long wheel base. It is more of a sporty ride than a comfortable ride as it has the big AMG wheels but overall it does have a degree of comfort.

Mercedes 350 CDi Sport

Here is the ML mercedes cdi 350 sport

It's got front and rear parking sensors. It's got 20" alloys. It's got full leather interior. It's got cruise control. It's got rain sensing windscreen wipers. It's got auto-box. It's a five-speed this time, but it's also trip-tronic gearbox so you can use it in either manual or auto. It's more relaxing in the auto mode. If you want more performance it's quicker to flick it over to manual and put it in sport mode.

0-60mph in 7.6 seconds.

155mph top speed.
265 BHP
