The five-door edition of the Suzuki Swift Sport in the test

It is hard to believe, but the Suzuki Swift is 30 years old. What anno 1983 fairly factual began as SA 310, has now become the main pillar in the European model program of the Japanese. The Swift makes in Germany from 30 percent of Suzuki sales. There are of course Birthday Gifts: The Swift Sport gets rear doors. We were with the five-door for a short test on the road (universal turbo).

 manageable size Short delivers the desired keyword, because despite the extra rear doors of the Suzuki Swift Sport has remained the same length. 3.89 meters are indeed a handy format, but too rich Lümmelei should not expect in the rear. If the driver drives his seat far back, is in terms of legroom final fun with. But you have to be honest, probably no one buys the strongest Swift as a family transporter. Advantages of the five-door model to quickly store something in the back seat, added shorter front doors, handy in tight parking spaces. Closely it comes to in the boot, from 211 to 892 liters require precise weighing the luggage. Worsened by the fact that the Swift Sport, the rear seat can be folded only as a whole (universal turbos).

 Consensus instead of riot Otherwise, the Suzuki Swift Sport retains as 15 kg heavier five-door model those positive and negative characteristics that we already have seen during a seven-month duration test of the three-door model. On the plus side are comfortable sports seats and a handy steering wheel. The operation of the cockpit raises no issues, but the plastics are likely to be processed like quality. In the 136-hp gasoline engine under the hood is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. He remains pleasantly quiet running to about 100 km / h above the machine acts dull, grumpy. Here is an independent, distinctive sound would be nice. On the other hand, the Swift Sport can be steered through the city also calmly in high gear with Tempo 50. Who really wants to be the go afloat on the other hand, the needle of the tachometer more than 4,400 tours must hunt, until the maximum torque of 160 Newton meters is available. Striking: In sixth gear, the engine can from about 150 km / h barely set, so it must be used to stick shift, thanks to the short distances quite what I enjoy. Relatively balanced, the chassis: While it is taut but not pops the inmates each transverse joint unfiltered into the cross (Fiat turbo).

Renault Clio Grand Tour dCi 90 in the test

Grand Tour was once the name for a big trip to the sites of classical antiquity, which was common among the educated classes. As Goethe traveled to Italy, so go for the 50-year German families to the south, when the attractions even more sun and sand hot as statues and sonnets. Grand Tour is also the name for the Renault station wagon. The latest addition to the series is launched in April 2013 Clio Grand Tour. We have tested it.

Bold, but rough
The Mileage dCi 90 has a 1.5-liter turbo diesel with 90 hp. The two-valve diesel delivers 220 Newton meters and its maximum torque enough momentum for everyday life. Despite complex piezo-injection engine running slightly rough when accelerating you can feel the vibrations of the motor on the steering wheel. In the category of NVH (noise, vibration, harshness, ie noise, vibration and roughness) deserves our diesel, at best, average note. Also that the diesel needs a little preheating even in summer, detuned slightly. Similar to the cold start to restarting the engine is due to the standard start-stop system is not always easy: Who can come to fix the clutch, is sometimes faster than the automatic and the unit via the engine start button must start.

Green button for green conscience
Fuel consumption is only 3.5 Renault liters per 100 kilometers - also compared to the competition, a very good value. We needed our test drives as usual anymore, but our 5.5 liter are still economical. For the low consumption in addition to the start-stop system and the automatically closing grille opening, a regulated oil pump, a brake energy recovery, a special coating on piston skirts and cam as well as a map-controlled swirl control are responsible. A special feature is the optional Eco mode. This is engine power and torque are throttled and the air conditioner is energy efficient. Thus, the consumption is to be reduced by up to ten percent. In practice, one does not feel the reduced force. Whether improved with the pressure on the Eco button the green conscience, is probably individual.

Full luxury pack: The new Mercedes S-Class Test

What matters is what really counts: The already knew Helmut Kohl, in his avowed S-class users, but preferably in the passenger seat. Perhaps the former chancellor would change in the luxury Mercedes reprint in the rear. There namely future plays the music in the series 222. The focus of the development internally V 222 called long wheelbase version was more with 13 centimeters. A concession to the export markets, where the current long version represents up to 70 percent of sales. In other words: The solvente Chinese prefers to sit back. But another goal was in the specifications very top: The new S-Class is to set technical fragrance brands. Just as once, as the previous models ABS, ESP or the airbag made socially acceptable. The best or nothing: If the upper-Benz implement the brand motto?

Well packed two tons
I slip this in the imaginary role of James, the discrete chauffeur. For many years I sit behind the wheel of various S-Class long-wheelbase versions, to drive the difficult boss employed by the world's history. New XL-S-classes are not, incidentally, already at the first official S anno 1972, it was requested a few more inches. Over 40 years later, the long-stretched limousine to 5.25 meters, the width is 1.90 meters. These are a few inches longer than the time of his hotly disputed W 140 of 1991, but about whose great-grandson nobody gets upset. Perhaps it is because the Mercedes designers had a better day and have the new S-class tailored a sporty, elegant dress. The visual impact of the predecessor W 221 is not to be overlooked, at least the car looks less plump than the dimensions suggest. Mercedes is actually proud to have reduced the weight by up to 100 kilograms. Sounds great, but at best, has an effect like once three weeks diet with Helmut Kohl. As a chauffeur I of course still look in the trunk, 510 liters fit into it. To close the lid electrically, however, how many extras for the S-class costs extra charge.

Big Screen
But my boss did not allow for options rags. Taste can not be bought with money of course: The interior of our S-Class shines in a mixture of light leather with shiny silvery ash. Sure I have warned him how fast the dirty. But who pays, is right. And three guesses who can clean everything. So be it, it makes my job little to be desired. I look at two gigantic 12.3-inch screens. Links tachometer and speedometer are artificially animated, between is plenty of space for information of all kinds. Law often takes the Navi-view most of the space, but also on-screen media to be selected or made vehicle settings. For this purpose, located on the center console, a large rotary control / push button, it is post direct selection buttons for the main functions. But I can tell you that were working overtime due to go through all the items of the menu. Some getting all it needs, when many extras on board. Some things are new even for me: heated armrests in the doors about. Or the heat distribution of the seats. Additional scenting the indoor air or a massage? Doable. At the material selection and processing in the cockpit there is nothing wrong. But wait, there are two things I've noticed: the cheap automatic selector lever I know from the A and B-Class, also the glossy black border around the instrument display also looks not exactly sparkling.

Exclusive exit: So the new BMW i8 runs

The British colleague puts it succinctly: "It has something of a Batmobile," he exclaims at the sight of the three still heavily taped BMW i8 prototype. In fact, despite the wild Tarnfolierung the unusual shape of the hybrid sports car is already clearly visible. Only towards the end of the first half of 2014, the BMW i8 will come on the market. We had already the opportunity to be with him.

Sports car 21
Already in autumn 2009 showed BMW with a study on the auto show IAA in Frankfurt, where the path for the sports car of the 21st century could result. The positive feedback led to the development of the series i8. Henrik Wenders, Director of the i8-product management, explained to me that the future-athletes should be aware of no M8, instead a likewise brisk car, but with an alternative drive. Finally, it is namely also to the social acceptability of a vehicle of the power class of 911 and Co.

unique appearance
However, if the BMW i8 one is not determined, then normal. Wide and shallow squats the truck on the asphalt. With 4.69 meters, it is slightly longer than a 3 Series, the width is 1.94 meters and it is only 1.29 meters high. Compared to the studies shown so far BMW has not changed too much in the series-i8. Good thing, because it remains the i8 an eye-catcher. Front stand out among the Tarnfolie flat headlights and a wide cardioid from, added large air intakes in the front hood and next to the rear window. Whether intended or not, the i8 is reminiscent of the legendary M1 of 1978 also the term "Batmobile" BMW aficionados should be suspicious. So the spoiler reinforced 3.0 CSL in 1973 was named in the 206 hp met 1092 kg. The i8 however, reached its drag coefficient of 0.26 with no wild fowl, the air meanders among others through a channel along the avant-shaped taillights.
