0:46 :

"The Ranger Rover Evoque, for all those who attach greater importance on design aspects than on utility aspects."

Subaru a very dynamic car, feels light and easy to handle.

VW Tiguan solid and unagitated car.

The Mazda has great usability, but still is looking quite attractive.

Mazda and VW have a good suspension, the Evoque even has a adaptive suspension system, only the Subaru gives a slightly harder impression without interfering the comfort to much , reason for this is a more sporty focus of the car.

A Suv always has big problem it is always trying to be something between slippers, tramping boots and sport shoes.

A lot of nonsens (the part with the dog).... Blablabla ...... More blablaa ... Now here comes a cat.... Still blabla

Now the cars are driving down a road , the fuel consumption is displayed


Now you see the guy sitting in the VW, he says the VW is expensive but still the measure of all things(german tv=german car is the best), but they say the cockpit looks a little bit old fashioned

Now the Evoque shows up, the guy says: welcome to the club, a very exclusive club, just because of the price.

The Evoque is only practical in the front, rear space is narrow and there isnt much boot space. The Evoque also has a obstructed view to the rear side.

Subaru is all in all ok, engine not that good, but a lot cheaper car than the others.

There is a lot of space in the Mazda, but the rear is also narrow and hasn't the usability of the VW rear seats, but it offers much boot space and has a quite comfortable touch.

Last scene guy is standing at the rear of the Evoque saying: isn't it a marvellous rear view? but it's Blessing and curse at the same time, he is rather expensive, so we called him the Exclusive one.

The Subaru is called the Sportsman.

Mazda is called the generalist or all rounder.

The VW is still state of the art he offers much usability, he hits the middle between driving style and space. He remains on pole position.

Last statement all cars are driving around : the Suv class has a sales boom, these 4 cars will help that this will be the case for the next period of time.

That's all

Couldn't have put it better myself . Typical German Auto Bild, German is best......

This is not a real test, they say absolutely nothing about the interior of the Evoque, they do not compare any technical gadgets, they don't have a look on brakes s.o.

Even for german television this test is just nonsens, it is more like a presentation of 4 cars, sponsored by Volkswagen.

Thanks i am used to Germans being usually more technical and go in more technical details... Auto Motor And Sport magazine I think has good tests.

Yap, that is absolutly true, auto motor sport is much more professional when it comes to car tests.

Auto Bild belongs to the "Bild" it is a newspaper that is absolutely comparable to the British newspaper "The Sun".

So expect anything, but don't expect objective car tests .

I like the TOP Gear Magazine pretty much, but don't get the paper here in germany, I often watch top gear on YouTube, it's that mix out of professionally and that sense of humor I love so much.

Thanks for that. There's me thinking it was a video about the danger of Dogs by the side of a road

LonnyGer, you can watch Top Gear on German TV.
