It's generally accepted that the economy test in NEDC does not reflect real road driving conditions and cannot be achieved in real life so you don't need a test to try to reflect that. The test can only be used as a benchmark against other cars.
So how about just have a test which measures...

Pulled into a car park space and just as l was getting out of the car BANG!!! a Vauxhall Corsa reversed into the corner of my rear bumper!:(
The Corsa looked liked it had had an grenade thrown at it, bumper, tailgate, light cluster and quarter panel all damaged.....trusty old Merc nothing but a...
I have my SL booked in with PD Gough in Nottingham to have a stainless steel system fitted . I'm returning to them after being very pleased with the system they made for my W126 .
Unfortunately , the MOT will have expired by the earliest appointment I can get at the end of this month , and I...
Hi all,, is it possible to rodeo test a cl500 w215 on my drive? if it is how do you go about it also will this bleed the system any suggestions thanks....
Hi - notice that some of you have long test drive. Where dealers lends you car for more than 24 hours.
Is this common? I'm think about asking for a long test drive - will I be expected to "hire" the car?
As above had a drive in a C63 today what a cracking car really goes and handles superb steering is very good and it's sounds not bad either might have to sell my 507 Coupe !
My local dealer offered me to take a 2008 CL65 out for a test drive. It's not a car that would be on the top of the list to replace Eleanor but it was worth a spin and they have no other used AMGs in stock at the minute.
Only 19,000 miles on it and they are willing to throw in 2 years tier 1...
No - not the band but a video from the USA Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) site on what goes into their crash tests. Particularly revealing is the collision [ 13.07 mins onwards] between a 59 Chevy Bel Air and a 2009 Chevy Malibu illustrating how things have improved...
My dealer has now received their demo GT S and FINALLY, I'm going to get to drive one! Only 7 months after I ordered it.....although with 3.5 months still to go before mine arrives a test drive is probably just going to be a big tease.
You can see from my C63 S thread how impressed I am with...
Hi guys - popped down to my local dealer and had a look around their C63S demo car - also went for a drive but it wasn't planned ahead so only went out for about 15 minutes.
Initial impressions were:
Looks - yes very nice, diamond white with black wheels - other than the rear quarter/boot...
Had a quick drive of a Diesel 220 CLA AMG Sport shooting brake today for about an hour.
Fantastic looking car, it was an AMG Sport on 18" wheels with the lowered suspension. Its front wheel drive and handles superbly, stiff on the suspension, very taught and precise. Its priced at £35k no...
Hi All,
As some of you may be aware there is a new 77mm Supercharger pulley (twin bearing) available from MSL and manufactured via UPD. It offers the ability to match the power / torque figures of the tried and tested 180mm crank pulley and as such, potentially offers owners a new pulley to...
I had a 64 plate C200 Diesel B Class yesterday, Nice quiet engine compared to my 62 Reg C Class Sport Plus, but not for me, I didn't like the body roll and front wheel drive, nice high up driving position. It was an auto like my C Class, it felt a bit cheaper inside. It had 18" wheels so felt...
Took a Yas Marina Blue (colour) M3 out for a good test drive today. Looks wise, for the interior and exterior I think the M3 looks fantastic – absolutely no doubts there for me. I also seem to prefer the M3 over the M4 for now although I typically would look to get the coupe. These were my...
