Yet just caught the Daihatsu to Hamburg. The Copen had been standing still for so long and the idea was challenging; Three hundred kilometers in an open dwarf over the Autobahn, laugh. So there I went, with my bucket of papier-mâché in the awkward seating pit that had a full canned after a collision.
Playing with your life? In the sense that you drive something with zero stars in the Euro NCAP. I have no illusions. A frontal blow with sixty will be dead. You have nothing to do with the airbag in that momo steering. The performance of the Copen, on the other hand, seems more than sufficient on paper. With 87 hp for only 850 kilos you should be able to catch up with that kitty sixteen valve. It would have really been a death ride with a duck or a beetle. My parents used to go on holiday with us in the back, you have to introduce yourself.
But then, for a moment I forgot, everyone was also much slower than now. And as a small Germany-goer, I had been quite dramatic in that. Your slowness is ready. The problem is the speed of others. Everyone drives their turbo or EV more easily than ever. Small Youngtimers with unblested gasoline engines will no longer come in 2025. On the wide highway from Bremen to Hamburg, I drove sandwiched among the fast Audi’s on the left and truckers on the right track as a helpless wreckage in a wild ocean. You must have it at the job changes of your couple, that there is no – 120 Newton meter at 4,400 rpm. For catching up you have to go back to four and then full gas that convoy trucks pass. First look carefully to see if there is not a BMW with more than 200 approaching.
Tired of death. I sat in my throat a few times. At the driveway to the highway from Hamburg, I was just not crushed by a trucker turning to the right who overlooked my car. It saved ten centimeters and they seem even closer when you’re so low. When I again accelerated full throttle after my near-emergency stop to squeeze myself between two truck combinations, I just succeeded. Fortunately, the view around is great. Others saw you just as well as the other way around.
In journalism, critical question marks are happy with the excessive power growth of especially electric cars. At that point I am not afraid of grumbling. 400 hp for a lease car, do normal. This is the downside: if every good plug-Korean drives around with 200 hp, you just can’t stay behind. Power is safety. That is not only a German problem, no matter how much faster there is driven there than with us. Without a pot of horsepower and a sturdy torque bowl, you will soon be a danger on the road in the Netherlands. With combined entrances and exits such as those on the A32 near Heerenveen you are grateful for the super powers of your plug bin. Actually bizarre that it is never about performance as a safety condition. If safety you are dear, and if you want to be consistent, you as a government should ban those small old turbo -free cars from the highway.
The Copen did it excellently, Japan never abandons you. But that returnje Hamburg was once and never again. Such a KEI-Car is wonderful in the city, I noticed in the Hamburg parking garage. With a width of 1 meter 47 you fit everywhere. Always put your Copen as far as possible with the nose forward, otherwise such a person with a Tesla will enter you in the delusion that he had found a hole.
I reread the AutoWeek test from eighteen years ago. “The Daihatsu Copen has the cuddly that women will certainly appeal to, but whether they will also be so charmed by his Spartan character, it still has to be seen.”
Let’s talk about men, my back shouts.
I decided to take the daihatsu to hamburg after all. The Copen had Been Standing Still for So Long and the Idea was challenging; Three Hundred Kilometers in An Open Dwarf over The Autobahn, Laughing. So There I Went, With My Papier-Mâché Hood In The Cramped Cockpit That had completely Boxed me in After a Collision.
Playing with your life? Well, in the sense that you’re driving something with zero stars in the euro ncap. I have no illusions. A Head-On Collision at Sixty Will Kill You. The Airbag in That Momo Steering Wheel is useless. The Performance of the Copen, On The Other Hand, Seems More than adequate on paper. With 87 HP for only 850 kilos, you should be able to overtake smoothly with that perky sixteen-false engine. It would only have leg a Death Ride with a 2cv or a beetle. That’s how my parents used to take us on vacation in the back, can you imagine.
But then, I Conveniently Forgot, Everyone was much slower than now. And as a little germany-gur, I had QUITE dramatically miscalculated that. Your slowness is all well and good. The Problem is the speed of Others. Everyone drives faster than ever with their turbo or ev. Small Youngtimers with Naturally Aspirated Gasoline Engines Will No Longer Be Able to Keep Up in 2025. On the wide Highway from Bremen to Hamburg, I drifted bets the fast audis on the left and the truckers on the rudderless flessam. You have to rely on your torque when changing lanes, which is there – 120 newton meters at 4,400 rpm. To overtake, you have to go back to fourth and then full throttle past that convoy of trucks. But first, make sure that a bmw isn’t approaching at 200 by accident.
Exhausting. I had my heart in my mouth a few times. At the Entrance to the Highway from Hamburg, I was Almost Crushed by A Trucker Turning Right who Overlookooked My Car. It was Ten Centimeters and They Seem Even Closer When You Sit So Low. When I accelerated full throttle again my near-emergency Stop to squeeze Between two truck combinations, I barely made it. Fortunately, The View Around is Excellent. If only Others saw you as well as the other way around.
In Journalism, Critical Question Marks Are Often Placed On The Excessive Power Growth of, Especial, Electric Cars. I’m not averse to a bit of grumbling on that point either. 400 HP for a lease car, come on. This is the downside: Ify good plug-in Korean drives around with 200 HP, you just can’t stay behind. Power is safety. That’s not just a German problem, no matter how much faster they drive there we do. Without a pot of horsepower and a solid chunk of torque, you’re quickly a danger on the road thesis, just in the Netherlands. On Combined on-and-off-disaster like Those on the A32 Near Heerenveen, You’re Grateful for the superpowers of your plug-in car. It’s Actually Bizarre That It’s Never About Performance As A Safety Requirement. If safety is dear to you, and if you want to be consistent, The Government Should Ban Those Small Old Turbo-Less Cars from the Highway.
The Copen Did Great Otherwise, Japan Never Lets You Down. But that return trip to hamburg was once and never again. Such A Kei-Car is Wonderful in the City, I Noticed in The Hamburg Parking Garage. With a width or 1 meter 47 you fit in Everywhere. Always Park Your Copen As Far Forward As Possible, Otherwise Someone with a Tesla Will Drive Into You In The Delusion That He Had Found A Gap.
I Wistable Reread the Autoweek Test from Eighteneen Years ago. “The Daihatsu Copen has the Cudliness that will certainly Appeal to Women, But Whether they will be so charmed by its Spartan Character Remains to Be Seen.”
Let’s Talk About Men For Once, My Back Is Whining.
