Really Blue Veins In Boobs

-GTIs

Today I came across a comparison test at AutoBILD.de where the Anabolikafraktion Compact, a rendezvous was. were part of the team Audi S3, BMW 130i, Ford Focus ST, Mazda 3 MPS, Opel Astra OPC and VW Golf R32.

neutral, while still under controlling

The tester Gerald Czajka noted at the outset that all candidates are too uncomfortable for everyday use. And are also soon realize that he has no idea of the vocabulary. Thus, the performance of the S3 as a "broadly neutral over all four wheels to the outside pushing" section. Mr. Czajka is probably not
clear that neutral handling either over-or understeer, it being the latter more than the Audi clearly disclosed, as it pushes to the outside ... yes
advantage here: The mention of the pathetic boot, had to soft-wheel drive - a drawback (to chalk is also the R32), although this was never mentioned when I think of other tests in other magazines. It is also the word "cool", which Audi describes quite accurately and succinctly.

When Mazda will catch the eye of the comment that the steering "tight" and "strange tough" is. Not as strange as that comment, I think. What will that mean then? A more precise statement would not have been bad. The rest is fine, not over-represented an understatement. That the 260 hp front-wheel drive with differential lock itself hopelessly asking for is any reasonably ensure clear understanding. Why Mazda has not built all-wheel drive?

The BMW comes off well in terms of performance. The everyday utility is still swept under the carpet - he does not exist ie. A brief flash of the potential criticism of this car: Direct for car rides steering. To this day I ponder about what this will be because 1er oh so much better than the 3 Series Compact.

Where is the trunk?

we come to the VW R32, which seems to be well sprung at worst. But if it is to be a sports car (hence probably the Bockel hard suspension), then how come he has no motor sport, brings in higher engine speeds or performance? The old VW's disease ... Ironically, the weakness of the construction of small trunk is not covered here, just like with the 130i before.

A little out of place does the Focus ST, already, like a knife in a gunfight. But that's not the fault of the car and remedy is in sight as the new Focus RS is waiting in the pipeline.
The Opel gets his fat away pretty well, since its driveability is probably quite a chunk that wants to be first dealt times. The above criticisms run through the entire press (and international), so that certainly covers the image. The exterior like about the tester, as well was intended - unlike BMW (sigh), Audi and VW have been left outside (look like cars stop).

Finally, I miss them, as almost always, the mention of the fuel type, which is the power guns for anybody. Ford extends only to the Super 95 RON, to approve all other high-octane Super Plus - ouch. And you're behind and do not necessarily smarter, you should have asked in advance seriously what car is probably best could take every day to live with.

Bias Bag Chudialr Cut

New Honda Legend

have gradually tested most magazines and newspapers, the new Honda Legend and it is again remarkable discrepancies Rating Details in determining where should really not be. It also attempts to make bad, and wherever possible.

cheap looking plastic

For example, Jürgen Wolff believes the Focus that recalls the Legend of the side and rear of a Mercedes E-Class - but of course! On each side, two rear doors and there's red lights and a license plate ... Then
bothers him the "cheap looking" center console. On alumimium trimmed plastic at this point there is as much a Mercedes SLR, to stay in comparisons with Mercedes, only some of the Legends will cost more. What will hurt as well anymore?
Last point: The (in the press
quite unusual ) reference to the huge price advantage over the equipment adjusted German competition. However, this positive image is immediately partially counterbalanced by an allusion to the anticipated loss of value. Hello? Cars are now quite degenerate into disposable products? If you buy now as each year a new luxury car? I think that whoever has the Legend is sometimes done, the not so fast restores, similar to Toyota's new, you used almost no place.

Looks like VW Phaeton or BMW 7 Series

Tom Greenway from the mirror on the outside will also "borrowed" from German sedans: Only he will have seen in the Legend for a change, a Phaeton and a 7 Series. Aha? The new SH-AWD all-wheel drive and Active Noise Cancelation find positive mention. Good.
Only consumption tastes the tester then finally in the conclusion not. 11.9 liters at 295 hp, so no ... - Whether to yet again the VW Phaeton contrived: The V6 engine that takes 50 hp and 200 cc less almost the same from the fuel tank (11.4 l), is content of the Honda Super and the VW as always equal to the Super Plus picks ...

Poor lands slow ride

the shooting of negative advertising, of course, traditionally the auto motor sport . Over the years, the "Abwatschen" an unfortunate Japanese competition has been refined and certainly subtilisiert, but to test the sheer pain, arrogance and stereotyped nature breaks through again and again, as it were, is ground-breaking concept.
is the single test confirms the Legend good handling, only to immediately reduce this to the fact that by herummäkelt on slow ride - a "weakness" that somehow fell any of the previous test in the eye. Also maintains the ams the fastest by far you ride, the high driving up their average consumption of 13 liters thirsty. In contrast, German cars is herumgegondelt with the "momentum" of Ms. Daisy's chauffeur ... The patient was in the end diagnosed as a case for the same bench.

vote needy

If you think that was the bold, the test was compared with the E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 down to the heart. Now place the tester in the ams really going on. Forget the previously certified or good handling, now the thing is shown to the computer-controlled all-wheel drive to the "experienced driver" hineinpfuscht and confused him unnecessarily. - Really. Since you should have a tester then ask if there is not more likely to screw up their own prejudices to the driving experience, the all-wheel drive's can hardly be. Finally, other's have somehow managed to get along in front. In any case
Suddenly, the Mercedes wins the competition on the wet handling course - what? Mercedes and handling? Something entirely new, if you ask me ... After all, it has been recognized even in the ams that Audi's with too much heavy front-mounted engines "something" is to drive top-heavy. Nachgetreten followed quickly by the supposedly hard shocks of the Legend and you think you have the luxury liner made by Honda in the safe sidelines. Bravo.

neutrality?

This may be different but also so much when one is testing a new car: the South German - certainly not the wertfreieste representatives in the media, it comes to parochial issues - provides a largely Article from neutral, which brings in the end even some informal term for regret that the new Honda will not get the chance he deserved. Oddly enough, the test comes back from the pen of Jürgen Wolff. Maybe you have as a journalist have a multiple personality, maybe you also writes on a "Whose bread I eat ', whose song I sing, maybe you write but only in spirit stuff from the same competent colleagues from other media - you know it not.

the love of the automobile

but by far the most convincing and most positive impression of the Austrian motorline.cc. that there actually the love of cars has dictated this book and not the cold calculus of promotional strip withdrawing German automotive industry shows itself in so many little things. The steering wheel, for example: held in the German press for old-fashioned, it is called here "sympathetic" and learn side by side, looked like Honda cockpit of the 80. The accusation of plagiarism, which can obviously see as a German-language media attach somehow always has to be recognized, as they charmingly titled "Homage to other established vehicles". In the floral Austrian way it goes on and you can learn many things, to mention a German "journal" to be fine. While the Teutonic colleagues the relatively late onset power "surprised" said the Austrians at the sight of the V-TEC engine at a high speed. So much for expectations.

Long story short: Only the OESIS give the reader the feeling that the Honda Legend is thoroughly desirable, the car he is in reality. The other was said that if one is already on trial before a cease and pleased that the subject will not like one, you should rather just let the test.
