Audi A8 Avant 2016 Quattro

AUDI A 8 selective long wheel base line, Quattro.







3.0litre twin turbo v6 desal engine
0-62 6.1 seconds 
Top Speed 186
BHP 262
torque: 443 ft lb

It has an eight speed gear box but it is better to use the peddles to get the most out of it. It is better to leave it in sport mode as the engine can get a little bit dreary. It handles like a go kart, probably the best handling for an Audi other than the big four wheel one as it is only front wheel drive. The suspension is a bit hard because it hasn't got air suspension on the standard model but you can have it on the top models , you have to pay for for it, which I would recommend. But apart from that is it excellent for a courtesy car, but personality I wouldn't have one. For an everyday car I wouldn't have it I would pay a bit more and get the A8 because its a much better car. It has air con and sat-nav as standard but it only have a part leather interior but I would have the full leather as it looks better and it much more comfortably and it better to drive. 
end of report.

Power: 150bhp
0-62 9.5 seconds
Torque:129 lb-ft
Top speed: 129 MPH
economy: 33.5 mpg

Don't go for the 1.4 model as it is disastorously underpowered. if you do go on the motorway with the 1.4 then keep it in second gear for the entry of the motorway its better for the slip road. keep it in 2nd gear until you hit the red line. there are better engines in the range please completley ignore the 1.4 apart from that it drives alright.

BMW M5

BMW M5 2005

 5.0 Litre V10.  
 507 BHP
Top Speed 204mph
Limited top speed 155 mph
 Torque 384 lb-ft.
 0-62 is 4.5


It drives extremely well for a BMW M series. When I took it on the motorway, I had it in M mode which meant that the limiter was disengaged. You have to be a very confident driver to be able to drive in M mode. While in this mode you can overtake with no problems and its great for leaving cars behind on the motorway, nothing will keep up with you as this car can be aggressive. The M mode enables you to turn this car in to executive racing car. This is the most fun I've had in a BMW M series.
If you have the opportunity to test drive one then I highly recommend doing so because its a fantastic car, but make sure its the old model from 2005 to 2008 onward. 

End of report.

top speed: 109 mph
Torque 177 ft lb
BHP 108.5
MPG: : 39.7, but with the way you have to drive this car I will be very surprised if you manage to get this.

I have driven it now you have to keep the RPM up above 5000. it drives really well if you keep the revs up, but please don't let the revs drop below 5000 otherwise you have had it; there is just no power...it dies.
I will let you know when I have been on the motorway with the car and keep you updated, but for now that's it.

Transmission: 6-speed manual.
Acceleration; 0-62mph; 9.3 sec.
Top Speed; 129 mph.

You get a sat nav system that sometimes turns itself off. This is a common fault and the cure is to stop the car, get out, lock it, unlock it, get back in and start the engine again.

CD Players, sat nav, air con, nice wheels, make sure you go for the top module which is the sport. Leather interior, 5 door, cruise control, heated front seats, power-fold heated door mirrors, hill start assist. Privacy glass, go for the alloy wheel and not the plastic wheel trim.  It is better to go for the cream leather than the black but it is harder to keep clear, if you have babies in the back put a cover over it so that they don't scratch the leather has heated windscreen.
