Loan Cars The Rest Of Us Have To Put Up With

Post by Chompers » Thu Apr 25, 2013 11:32 am

Well, following on from 535dboy's car porn thread I thought I would bring us all back down to earth with this  :))

I was promised a shoot in this by my friendly Service guy and true to his word this got dropped off last night.

Having just changed the OH's 123d, I was keen to see how the new 125d went. This car had the 8 speed sport shift auto box (manual 6 in our old car) with power up from 204 to 215bhp and torque in at 332lb/ft.

This thing flies  :o having just come back ffrom a hour out on the A272/A32 plus a few back roads the smile is still on my fact. This car has only done 1.3k but the straight line speed is awesome. The auto makes the most of the torque and pulls very strongly engine will rev to just under 5,000rpm by which time you are the wrong side of the speed limit. This is one very quick A-B car  :)

Ride is mutch improved over the old car, even with this car on 18"s and MSprot sus it felt much nicer than than our previous SE on 17"s. Direction change was also improved.

Anyway enough of my drivel  ::)

Jeez....that interior would wake you up in the morning, and if you have a hangover would be a bit of a shock!!

Same combo as OH's 320d  :) and you wouldn't be in the car if you had a hangover anyway, would you?  :o
