Barrie Crampton I just wish Fiat would’ve used a 270 degree crank. Would sound like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGS9dYZsqNiLmcU Engine would have the same power, same efficiency and would be even smoother. The sound would be ten times better though.

That 5th gear position looks weird, it looks like it's in 3rd. Is it just the camera angle?

Would you take the 0.9 or the 1.2, my sister is looking into purchasing one of these but isn't sure what engine to go for.
@BarrieCrampton6 жыл бұрын
The 0.9 is a little slow going up hills, but to be fair if you are just using it for driving around town its fine
@callummccubbing45066 жыл бұрын
I think it'll be mostly around town and the motorway sometimes, but thank you for the help and the video :)

Can you connect your phone through Bluetooth in this car or is there and aux cord?
@BarrieCrampton6 жыл бұрын
It should have the Blue&Me bluetooth handsfree system in which case you should also be able to stream audio

By the looks of things, 3k revs @ 70mph aint bad for a small car and a 0.9 at that. Sounds quite fruity too

Don't forget the car is designed as a left hand drive car so gate is angled slightly to the left.

bad driving position, steering wheel is too far.
@BarrieCrampton5 жыл бұрын
the closer you are to the steering wheel, the less you can see past the Windscreen A pillars, that can be the difference between Life and Death to an on coming motorcyclist, the nearer you are the more restricted your elbows are an are more vulnerable in a side impact, elbow, arm , collar bone damage, the less you can bend your legs, the more likely you are to sustain ankle and knee damage in a frontal impact, that's if you are lucky and don't have your thigh bones pushed back through your pelvis, the air bag deploys at up to 220 mph, so the nearer you are to that, the more facial and chest damage you get, if you drive with your hands at the 1/4 to 3 position and thumbs through the steering wheel, you will get them broken in a side or 3/4 impact. the first thing they tell you on a racing course is do not feed the steering wheel through your hands, do not take your hands of the steering wheelat all or else you have no idea which direction the front wheels are facing. the "ideal" driving position was thought up in the days of cross ply tyres and non power steering cars, now instead of needing all your upper body strength to steer, you can do it with your little finger. so in closing i sit in a position that i find comfortable, i have very fast reactions and have been driving for 43 years (legally and on tracks a lot longer), the only injuries i have sustained in crashes, both motorbike and car are when i was driving my girlfriends car and i was sat too close to the steering wheel because i didnt want to move her seat. You drive where you want, and i will drive where i want, but in all my years giving people test drives one thing has become blatantly obvious, the closer that someone sits to the steering wheel, the worse the driver they are!!! Thanks for watching!!! and you are welcome!!!!!!
