Advantages: good learning process Disadvantages: bit pricey
Brought this DVD for part of my Hubby's Christmas box, he's into Top Gear and other car programmes such as this, by the time he got around to putting this DVD on, I was well and truly hooked on car shows, so had no problems with watching it.
Actually a very interesting DVD, which instead of just showing you flash cars, not only few can afford, this DVD gives some very useful tips and information.
The basics are, that presenter Mike Brewer and a mechanic genius friend of his, have a £1000, starting fund, with this, they have to purchase a scrap, or near scrap sporty or classic car, from local papers, small adds column etc, and do it up as best they can,

The economy with the Diesel engine and Automatic gears seemed ok on long journeys but I saw a difference of MPG when you go over 65mph in comparison ...
Advantages: Interior Space, Visibility, Excellent engine & transmission Disadvantages: Looks a bit like Camilla Parker-Bowles, head on.
Daihatsu Grand Move. In fact, I remember when I first saw the A-Class. I don't think there had been any car like this before, at least not with a premium badge on the front. Mercedes Benz must be congratulated for having the male genitalia to design, and more importantly, develop a car for a niche that had not yet been carved from a market of euro-boxes and small hatchbacks. People know this is a Mercedes Benz, and they certainly know the price premium that the badge requests. What people don't know, however, is that a used A-Class can be picked up for little more than Renault Scenic money.
Interior
You don't so much get in an A-Class, as step up into the very inviting interior. Those doors might look like they reach the floor of the car, but there's a good eight inches of extra height between the floor of the car and the floor ...
