The Carwow Black Friday sale is now live: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-1311 If you wanted a luxury German saloon without the luxury price tag, you’d probably consider buying a used car… But how about a used car that’s over 20 years old!? Well, Mat’s got his hands on an Audi A4, BMW 3 series and a Mercedes C-class all from the early 2000s to see if opting for a classic saloon is worth it. Oh, and he’s going to drag race them of course! First up the Audi A4. It’s covered 129,000 miles and has a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 130hp & 195nm. That power goes to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. Then there’s the Mercedes C180. It's driven 126,000 miles and has a 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder engine with a supercharger. It puts out 141hp & 220nm. That power goes to the rear-wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. Then finally, there’s the BMW 318i. It's covered 88,000 miles and has a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine that makes 140hp & 200nm. That power goes to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox So, which one of these old saloon cars will be Mat’s favourite? Keep watching and find out!

This Citroen drives like a Rolls-Royce!

The Carwow Black Friday sale is now live: https://bit.ly/Carwow-Black-Friday-Sale This is the all-new Citroen E-C3! It’s an all-electric version of the Citroen C3, and it’s the second cheapest electric car you can buy in 2024, with a starting price of just £21,900! The question is, at such a low price, is the quality so poor that it’s not worth considering? Or does it offer incredible value for money? Well for starters, let’s check out the design. At the front end, the E-C3 looks pretty good, with smart LED headlights coupled with some real air breathers at the sides. The creases on the bonnet also help it stand out. The side profile is relatively standard, although the two-tone paint and roof bars help give it a bit more purpose, as does the black trim around the wheel arches. It’s a more distinctive look at the rear, with LED tail lights that are just as smart as the headlights from the front. All-in, it certainly doesn’t look like a car that costs less than £22,000! The interior is a bit of a quirky affair, but that’s a good thing! There’s a super-thin digital drivers display that offers all the information you would need, and there’s a small infotainment screen in the centre of the dash which is pretty simple, but it offers the basic functions you would expect it to have. The seats are generally comfy enough, and while there may be some cheaper materials throughout the cabin, it’s all pretty well laid out and offers quite a lot of storage. There’s only one version of the E-C3 available, and it comes with a single electric motor and the ability to produce 113hp. It also has a claimed range of 199 miles. If you’re not looking for an EV, the petrol-powered C3 comes with a 1.2-litre engine that can produce 100hp, and the price of this starts at just £17,790! So what do you think? If you’re looking for a cheap electric car, is the E-C3 the smart choice? Stick with Mat to get a closer look for yourself! Chapters

BMW M5 CS v Audi RS6 GT v AMG E63 S: DRAG RACE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxtDJrcxsc8

The Carwow Black Friday sale is now live: https://bit.ly/Carwow-Black-Friday-Sale It’s an almighty German showdown! We’ve got our hands on the all-new Audi RS6 GT, and it’s going up against two of its key rivals – the BMW M5 CS, and the Mercedes-AMG E63 S! The question is, can the newer Audi snatch the win? Well, let’s check out the stats. Starting with the RS6, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 2,075kg. As new, the RS6 GT had a price tag of £177,000. Next up is the M5 CS, which is powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can put down 635hp and 750Nm of torque. As you’d expect, power is sent to all four wheels, and the car tips the scales at 1,825kg. All that power doesn’t come cheap, though – it’ll set you back around £141,000! Then we have the AMG. It’s packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, and this can produce 612hp and 850Nm. It rolls up equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox to send power to all four wheels, and it’s the heavier of the two cars, weighing in at 1,990kg. Back when this was released in 2019, it would cost you around £87,000. So can the newer RS6 snatch it? Or will the almighty BMW propel itself to victory? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE! Thanks to https://www.instagram.com/f1__german/ & https://www.instagram.com/pinnacle.detailing/ for providing us with the AMG! Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-0911
