test it! Citroen C3 Picasso

Minivans are growing in popularity, and not just in the form of big SUVs.

 
The Citroen C3 may only be a mini-van, but it has borrowed design-cues from bigger vehicles, like its muscular-looking front-end. And what looks spacious from the outside doesn't disappoint on the inside. The C3 Picasso comfortably seats five adults.

compare it! Mazda MX5 (2006) vs. Mini Cabrio (2005)

The Mini Cooper Cabrio and the MX5 from Mazda. They are two of the most popular convertibles on the German market, and remain attractive even as used cars.

 
Our 2006 MX5 is three years old and has 40,000 km on the odometer and costs about half of what it did new. New versions have come out for both cars, which further reduces prices for these models. Drive it! put both cars on the stand to see how well they perform even after a few years of regular use.

admire it! Porsche GT3

Porsche fans who want a big wing on the tail need look no further than the GT3. This Porsche is not so much a sports car as a full-fledge racing car.

 
In addition to the huge wing, the car boast 435 horsepower, a top speed of 310 km/h, and 0 to 100 km/h in a breathtaking 4.1 seconds. The GT3 is a car designed for a very rare, very demanding kind of customer - the driver who places performance ahead of driving comfort.

picture it! Internal combustion engines for the future

Almost all carmakers have begun rolling out electric vehicles as their visions of future mobility take shape.

 
Proponents forecast a revolution is under way that will change how people travel. But there are also skeptics, who point out that a practical electric car still hasn't hit the market. At the moment, the batteries still represent about 40 percent of an electric car's price, and these batteries won't even last as long as the vehicle. Drive it! looks at how far electric cars have come as well as what can still be done to make conventional engines even more environmentally friendly.
