by MIKE TORPEY cool image and road manners to match. Most dramatic, though, is the Coupe, with its racy profile that’s both lower and longer than the traditional MINI. Everything with this car is geared towards performance, with the line-up’s 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines ranging from the 122bhp of the standard MINI Cooper Coupe to the Cooper SD’s 143bhp and, stronger still, the 184bhp Cooper S Coupe. Topping the range is the tested John Cooper Works model with its whopping 211bhp – if you want some serious punch with that go-kart feeling then this is the one for you. I’m not really a fan of the red and white stripes that run from boot to bonnet; but features like the alloy runners, multi-spoke wheels, double grille, twin centre-positioned tailpipes and huge red brakes with JCW on them all give the MINI a touch of menace. Head out on the road and the coupe performs exactly as you would wish. Figures of 0-62 in 6.4 seconds and a potential top speed of 149mph speak for themselves.

In fact, it’s more spacious than the Clubman estate as four suitcases can be easily swallowed up – and that’s in addition to extra storage space like a ledge behind the front seats, door bins, cup holders and a glovebox.

Merc for the masses looks a real class act ● From Page 1 factory and the car is a class leader. Whatever the shortcomings that plagued the A-Class when it was first launched as Mercedes’ contender in the small car scene, the newcomer is everything a medium-sized hatch should be. It’s the compact model Mercedes should always have had. Never forget it was the original A-Class which hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons as ‘the car which failed the elk test’ – an emergency swerve manoeuvre. The fix for that saw the car fitted with sophisticated stability systems as standard, unheard of back in 1997, and although it became one of the most advanced cars of the time it was still in an uncomfortable niche looking like a mini MPV rather than a conventional hatchback. There are no such concerns with the new A-Class, as we discovered putting a top range Engineered by AMG version through its paces on a test track. With its front wheel drive enhanced by some fancy electronics including torque vectoring control and uprated suspension it has masses of grip and agility. This hot version is priced from £28,775 and powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine boosted to a healthy 211bhp mated to a quick shifting seven speed automatic gearbox. Performance is top flight with 0-60 flashing up in around 6.5 seconds. Top speed is a claimed 150mph and
by CHRIS RUSSON everything about the car has a precision feel – the weight and response from the steering especially. It has the credentials to satisfy any enthusiast while still being frugal, with average fuel consumption of 44mpg and emissions of 148g/km, but its looks are the icing on the cake. The range-topper has a diamond effect front grille which has been carried forward from the concept A-Class while at the rear there is a deep diffuser, twin exhausts and side vents slicing into the back bumper. Combine that with sweeping body cuts in the side panels and the A-Class stands out from any angle. A slightly more conservative nose features on the four other trim levels but the design retains plenty of impact. So does the interior, which is posh and well equipped. A soft-touch, carbon fibre-effect covering sets off the dash which has as its centrepiece an ultra-thin iPad-style display screen. The instruments themselves are large and clear while there is plenty of technology available including iPhone apps, lane departure and blind spot alerts and an automated parking system. In fact the iPhone connectivity is possibly the most comprehensive yet on a car, allowing Facebook hookups and even voice actuation through the Apple Siri
BEAUTIFUL BABE: The new Mercedes-Benz A Class bears no resemblance to the original function on the iPhone. Standard equipment on the A-Class is straight from Mercedes’ larger cars and includes a driver fatigue monitor and a radar-based anti collision system. The A-Class can be decked out on a par with any executive model and the cabin is roomy for four. It can take
five adults but that will be a squeeze in the back. Luggage space ranges from 341 to 1,157 litres and although that is more than you get in a Focus, the shape of the boot is quite narrow, which can be restrictive for carrying cases. However, that is the only compromise in a car which has class-leading
aerodynamics and is almost as long as Mercedes’ new B-Class – a car which has retained some of the MPV image. A new 1.5-litre diesel with emissions of 98g/km – the lowest of any current Mercedes – is making its debut in the A-Class and is claimed to be capable of averaging 74.3mpg.
Range Rover Evoque SD4 Coupe long term road test - Part 2 A GLANCE either side revealed the frustration of the drivers in adjacent lanes. One repeated that three-fingered tap on the side of the car that signals an imminent breakdown of logical reaction, the other fidgeted constantly between water bottle, cigarette and mobile phone. The M6 isn’t a very nice place to reside when you’re stuck in 15 miles of stationary traffic; windows open, the fragrant summer aromas transformed into a diluted form of smog by a mountain of exhaust fumes – all in a humid heat haze. I couldn’t resist a wry grin, before
turning my attention back to Roger Federer forensically dismantling another opponent on the Centre Court. That’s the beauty of this lavishly kitted-out version of the Range Rover Evoque – you can watch TV, almost any channel, in fact, thanks to Freeview, on a pin-sharp eight-inch colour screen. And when the traffic starts moving the system’s dual-view set-up allows a front-seat passenger to continue watching the match while, for safety reasons, the driver just hears the commentary. A few yards later, with traffic once again at a standstill, the picture
magically reappears. While most premium cars these days have display screens combining sat-nav, phone and various settings of ambient lighting, the Evoque has another weapon in its interior armoury in the shape of a 360-degree view camera. It shows the area next to the car on the screen, which can be configured to display just what the driver requires to see. And on tight tracks in tricky conditions, where you might drop a wheel into a ditch, the system can prove invaluable. These may be particularly irresistible
features, but the Evoque – the tested version at least – has one of the most desirable interiors of any car short of exotica. The four seats, central stowage box and door panel inserts are in light tan soft leather with contrast stitching, while the lower dash, door panels, roof lining and pillars are in ivory. There are also brushed alloy inserts and Range Rover branded running strips while the Evoque has a huge panoramic glass roof, powered memory seats, multi-function steering wheel and plenty of oddment space. Next time: Driving passions.
