Mercedes C250 AMG Sport (Four door Saloon)


It drives perfectly, it's better than a CLA anyway. Go for the 250 Diesel, not the 220, 'cos the 220's a little bit slow A little bit sluggish and a little bit underpowered. the 220 has 170BHP, it's 0-62 is 7.8, and its torque is 295 ft/lb. you can see how the 250 is a much more powerful engine, if you have to go for the 220 get it in manual. but I do no recommend the 220 or a c class without an automatic gearbox, as it is a car built for relaxing not racing about. the 250 has a top speed of 143mph I recon you'd just about get away with the 250. both cars have cruise control and electric front and rear windows.
make sure you go for the AMG pack, doesn't matter which model still go for the AMG because the look a lot better.
as usual I will let you know once I have been on a journey in it.
power: 204 bhp
torque: 369 ft/lb
6.6sec 0-62mph
153mph top speed.

Ford Galaxy Titanium



Ford Galaxy Titanium [A gun metal grey 2015]



This is my car

Just bought this car it is superb. There's plenty of torque, plenty of mid-range power - I thought it was more than enough, but I was wrong.

9.5 SEC TO 62 MPH
126 MPH
251 LBS.FT Torque.

I have got it now and it drives fantastically well with cruise control, speed limiter which you can take  off (I don't advise this, but it's up to you). With a 2.0L Diesel engine it has a choice of 140BHP or 163BHP and 53.3MPG

The 163 is the better unit with 300ft torque of mid-range power, it's got a six speed manual gearbox, air-conditioning, 17" alloys and it's the best driving MPV ever (so far)! Best I've had.

After an excellent motorway run, it's going really well, and never lost power. It is very easy to drive it hard you can't resist. The only downfall is the mid range power could be a bit better.

I have had it now for just under two year and it has been an excellent car but at the top end it is surprisingly unpowered for a 2 litre.

"Three Year update"
I have had this car for three years and I haven't ever had an issue with it, it has never broken down. It has started every time, I have really enjoy the ownership and I maybe regret getting a new car, I hope I am wrong.

"Last update"
I whole heartedly Regret, getting rid of this car it was a superb motor and it served me well for three years without trouble, I recommend to anyone to give this particular spec of motor a try. It also comes with heated windscreen.
