We arrive at the second part of the road test of the Mercedes C-Class, a premium saloon equipped with the best-known engine of the C-Class: the 170 CV 220 CDI diesel engine, which has now become somewhat greener and more fuel-efficient and is named BlueEfficiency. We discussed its engine, automatic gearbox and handling in the […]

We continue with the road tests at Highmotor and this time we’re heading to a premium diesel saloon: the Mercedes C-Class equipped with the 220 CDI diesel engine producing 170 CV and under the new name BlueEfficiency that reduces the consumption and emissions of this well-known engine from the German brand without sacrificing performance. Initially […]

Uncontrolled power is a real danger when we talk about a low power-to-weight ratio. We are talking about 6.83 kg/CV, one of the factors that lets this car accelerate in so little time and reach a high top speed. The most powerful standard version of the Fiat Grande Punto exceeds 10 kg/CV, so we are […]

Podemos diferenciar tres versiones diferentes de Abarth Grande Punto. La primera de ellas es la que viene de serie, con […]

Dear Three Wise Men: Last year I was very good and that is why I think I deserve the Abarth Grande Punto Esseesse. It is a car built for competing, but I promise not to race it and, as hard as it may be for me, to respect the legal speed limits. On the track, […]

We’ve reached the final part of our test of the Peugeot 206+, this time with the diesel engine, an old acquaintance of the French group: the 70 CV HDi. If you want to know how the 206+ behaves or how its 70 CV diesel engine performs, you can see it in the first part of […]

We continue with the test drive of the Peugeot 206+ equipped with the only diesel engine available in the range, the 1.4 HDi 70 CV. Now that we have already seen how it behaves, what fuel consumption that engine delivers and its performance, as is customary we move on to the design of the Peugeot […]

We continue with the Lion’s house in tests since the test of the Peugeot 206+ came about almost by chance, and it was one of the cars I enjoyed most for its simplicity and good behaviour. After having gone through my hands, from saloons to large 4x4s, (and before the surprise that Javier has in […]

From our most recent test of the Peugeot 3008 equipped with the 150 CV HDi diesel engine we kept a very special part aside: a comparison. When we tested it, I already mentioned that the Peugeot 3008 segment was very unusual because it is not a pure crossover (it does not offer all-wheel drive, not […]

We now get into the equipment of this MPV that is also an off-roader with seven seats. Among its rivals we can find the Kia Carnival, a much lower-range model, and the Chrysler Voyager, both without all-wheel drive, either standard or optional, and without rear doors, just a sliding door on one side only. As […]
