Due on sale in the UK in January, the C2 and C4 models will line up alongside existing VTR variants. Badged "by Loeb", the two cars come in black or red with white alloy wheels and neat decals on the doors and rear.
Slimline sat-navs are...
Slimline sat-navs are all the rage these days, and Garminò€™s new Nüvi 205T is the latest little wonder. Yet while itò€™s small, the feature count is anything but ò€“ thereò€™s even a picture viewer function.
The 3.5-inch screen is more than adequate. We just wish the user interface made it more pleasing to operate. While the icons are clear, it isnò€™t as intuitive as some rivals.
Mapping graphics are well defined, but the colour scheme left us a little confused on more than one occasion. Routing is quick and accurate, and we liked the address-input screen, which allows easy postcode entry. A major frustration was that the Garmin displayed only our estimated time of arrival, rather than the distance to our destination ò€“ and we could find no simple way of altering this. Although the 205T doesnò€™t come with a mains charger, a good-quality in-car power cable is included in the package, as well as a sturdy windscreen mount.
