ROAD TEST

Jim Robinson

ROAD TEST

for 27 years

Metroland Media This has got to be some kind of record.

Every year since the Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster debuted in 1989 as a 1990 model, I’ve driven a new model each and every year for 27 straight years.

Why? I find this one little car is what “motoring” is all about.

With just enough power to have fun but not enough to get you in trouble, the MX-5 as Mazda likes to call it (but the Miata as it always will be to me), satisfies the senses while being attainable by the masses.

To a dwindling number of readers names such as MGA/MGB, Triumph TR 3/4/6, Spitfire and Austin-Healey or Sunbeam are just a memory.

But I have to tell you, owning a two-seater in the middle of the last century was more than just owning a car.

It was freedom.

In a world of frumpy domestic sedans and wagons, and later lurid muscle cars that always seemed just plain stupid to me, heading out around midnight in my Sunbeam Alpine with the stars all aglow above me and driving Essex County – that was something I cherish to this day.

And I don’t know how many times over the last 26 years I’ve done the same thing in a Miata.

For more than 27 years, the Mazda MX-5 Miata (GS Sport model shown) has defined what a small roadster should be, just like this fourth-generation 2016 MX-5.

I have a colleague who recently bought a used Miata as a treat to himself. Often at night, he too slips out to the garage and just takes off for an hour or two.

The first one I ever drove was the original 1990 model in French Mariner Blue paint and mock Minilight 13-inch wheels.

To this day, no vehicle I’ve ever driven has gotten the reaction of

that first Miata.

Kids screaming “great car” or other motorists given the hisign or people just walking up to admire off the street, the Miata hit a sweet spot.

And it also hit a sweet spot with consumers — being officially the largest selling sportscar in history.

That first Miata was powered by a meager 1.6-litre inline twin-cam

four-cylinder with just 115 hp and 100 lb/ft of torque.

That was replaced early one by a twincam 2.0-litre inline fourcylinder, which today benefits from Mazda’s fuel saving Skyactiv technology for 155 hp and 148 lb/ ft of torque driving the real wheels through a standard six-speed manual or optional six-speed Turn to page W6

LEFT: Engine for the rear-drive MX-5 is a 2.0-litre twincam, inline four-cylinder with 155 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard with a six-speed automatic as a no-charge option. RIGHT: Trunk space is limited at 130 litres.

Hot hatch that is so very cool It was in the late ‘70s I encountered my first RS — a MKII Escort RS 2000.

Like most, I had Ferrari and Lancia posters hanging on my bedroom wall, but this was the car that could actually be seen driving around the neighbourhood.

Nearly 40 later there’s the new 2017 Focus RS. Outwardly, the Focus RS has a much more aggressive stance than the regular car.

The split grill is much larger, which optimizes engine cooling, there are brake cooling ducts and vertically mounted fog lamps.

At the back, it is the oversized spoiler and exhaust pipes that flank the rear diffuser that differentiate it. The look, especially when dressed in brilliant blue paint, sets the RS apart from its tamer siblings.

The RS’s performance traits continue inside with heavily bolstered Recaro seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and badging on the seats, mats and scuff plates.

However, there is one button that truly differentiates this speedster from all others — Drive Mode.

This gives the driver the choice of Normal, Sport, Track and crazy Drift modes.

Each changes the driving characteristics dramatically.

Slip behind the wheel; press the ignition button and the engine springs to life with an angry growl.

Revving it up agitates the awakened beast and makes it roar. Not only do you hear the ferocity, you can feel it.

The exhaust tone comes from the 2.3–litre turbocharged fourcylinder found in the EcoBoost Mustang.

However, to make it more RSlike it has a larger turbocharger, tweaked cylinder head and a much larger intercooler. This ups the output by 40 hp and 30 lb/ft of Turn to page W3

Focus RS performance trim finally in Canada

At the back it’s the oversized spoiler and exhaust pipes that flank the rear diffuser that differentiate the RS.

Outwardly, the Focus RS has a much more aggressive stance than the regular car.

Continued from W1 more torque. The result is an astounding 350 hp and 350 lb/ft of torque.

The only transmission is a smooth and crisp-shifting six-speed manual.

In Normal Mode, the engine is willing but civilized and the clutch is light and easy to balance between shifts. You can feel the raw power and get a better understanding of why the seats had to be so supportive.

The ride isn’t the smoothest, as you feel nearly every bump, but this adds to the

character of the RS — you really feel as if you are in a rally car.

It also sticks to the road like a real rally car thanks to the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and an advanced all-wheel-drive system.

If a wheel spins or the computer detects steering input it activates a torque vectoring system. Two clutches at the rear axle allow up to 70 per cent of the power to be sent to one wheel or it can act like a limited slip differential.

Beyond this ability, it dabs the brake on the inside rear wheel to reduce understeer.

This combination not only instills driver confidence in normal driving conditions, it enables Drift mode to do its thing.

“

There is one button that truly differentiates this speedster from all others — Drive Mode.

This gives the driver the choice of Normal, Sport, Track and crazy Drift modes.

”

The RS’s performance traits continue inside with heavily bolstered Recaro seats and a flat-bottomed steering wheel.

It does take time to get used to the raw power as the acceleration is blistering, but the sure-footed handling brings driver confidence in the RS’s true capability.

Now it’s time to shift to Sport mode.

When selected, the car’s character changes completely. The adaptive suspension hunkers down, the engine note changes and Normal mode’s evil twin appears!

Everything becomes more intense. The steering felt stiffer and the suspension tightened up so you really feel the road. It also amps up the exhaust note — bliss.

The engine also spools up a lot faster, which mandates quicker gearshifts in order

to avoid the rev limiter.

The other two Drive modes, as the vehicle warns, are for track use only. Unfortunately there was no track time during the test, but I did test them — a little! Track Mode changes the set up again and turns most of the driver assist electronics off.

This hands total control of the vehicle to the driver so you must have your wits about you when in this mode. I did push it, but decided to back off and wait for some track time.

Then there is Drift Mode. It takes the RS to another level altogether. It introduces understeer, relaxes the suspension and helps the driver balance the car, albeit sideways, around corners. I wasn’t totally comfortable doing this in my surroundings and so turned it off rather quickly.

Again, I will save this wild mode for a drift competition!

The test proved the Focus RS to be the perfect mix of a daily driver and very competent track car.

The aggressive styling and outstanding performance then serve to set it above its peers — watch out Volkswagen Golf R. Yes, the RS designation has been a long time coming to Canada, but it was well worth the wait!

SPECS AT A GLANCE BODY STYLE: Five-seat, five-door compact hatchback DRIVE METHOD: Six-speed manual gearbox, permanent all-wheel-drive ENGINE: 2.3-litre EcoBoost inline four-cylinder turbocharged (350 hp, 350 lb/ft) FUEL ECONOMY: 12.1/9.3L/100 km city/ highway CARGO: 562.2 litres (seats up) TOW RATING: Not recommended PRICE: $47,969 (Base) WEBSITE: www.ford.ca

up to 1.0l/100 km on the New European Drive Cycle.

The new 330-hp engine is available with rear-wheel drive in the new Panamera and all-wheel drive in the new Panamera 4 or Panamera 4 Executive.

While the Panamera and Panamera 4 with 330 hp redefine what can be expected at one end of the model line, the Executive models with their 5.9 inch (15 centimeter) longer wheelbase expand the body and equipment portfolio at the top end of the model line.

The Executive models will be available in the all-wheel drive versions Panamera 4 Executive (330 hp), Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive (462 hp), Panamera 4S Executive (440hp) and Panamera Turbo Executive (550 hp).

The new Porsche Panamera Executive versions are equipped even more exclusively. The standard features are supplemented with a large panoramic roof, heated comfort seats with multi-way electrical adjustment in the front and rear, and adaptive air suspension with an electronically controlled damper system (Porsche Active Suspension Management / PASM).

The roll-up sunblind behind the head restraints in the rear also comes as standard.

LOS ANGELES, CA: At the Los Angeles Auto Show, the sports car manufacturer will be presenting the luxury sport sedan with a new 330 hp V6 turbo gasoline engine, along with an extended wheelbase Executive version as yet another body option.

The new V6 turbo is a highly efficient and agile addition to the impressive range of engines.

Power is up by 20 hp from the corresponding engine of the previous Panamera generation.

At the same time, Porsche was able to reduce the consumption of this completely redeveloped six-cylinder gasoline engine by

Like all 2017 JUKE models (non-NISMO), the Black Pearl Edition features a 1.6litre Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) turbo, 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline fourcylinder engine rated at 188 hp and 177 lb/ft of torque – combining spirited performance and good fuel economy.

LOS ANGELES: Nissan recently took the wraps off two new 2017 models – the revised Versa Note and limited production JUKE Black Pearl Edition – prior to each vehicle’s respective debut this week at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. The two models are the first of four new vehicle models that will be shown for the first time in Los Angeles.

The 2017 Versa Note is highlighted by a dynamic new front end treatment, which accentuates its popular forward-looking style even more with a new front fascia and “V-Motion” grille that flows seamlessly with the swept-back halogen headlights.

The 2017 Versa Note is powered by a 1.6litre DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine, matched with a next-generation Nissan Xtronic transmission, helping achieve up to an EPA-estimated 6L/100km (US 39 miles per gallon) highway fuel economy. The advanced Xtronic transmission features a retuned D-step Logic Control, which simulates shifts, giving a more natural acceleration feeling without holding a high rpm constant.

Starting with a well-equipped JUKE SV (with a choice of front-wheel drive or allwheel drive), the 2017 JUKE Black Pearl Edition provides aftermarket style personalization straight from the factory.

It is the third such vehicle created by the JUKE Color Studio, following the previous “Yellow Stinger” and “Black Stinger” editions.

Just 1,250 units will be built – 1,000 to be sold in the United States and 250 in Canada.

The modifications to the Black Pearl Edition exterior begin up front with white bumper accents and white outside trim rings on the distinctive JUKE headlights. On the sides, white door handles and white caps for the

Mazda MX-5 a true motoring car for the masses Continued from W1 automatic transmission.

Tested here is perhaps the most desirable model, the mid-trim GS trim with the Sport Package.

The GS already comes standard with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Hill Launch Assist (HLA), push button start, air conditioning with manual climate control, steering wheel mounted cruise control, tilt steering, LED daytime running lights and headlights with LED signature lighting, automatic headlight leveling, LED rear combination lights, Bluetooth, USB

SPECS AT A GLANCE BODY STYLE: Compact roadster DRIVE METHOD:Front-engine, rear-wheeldrive ENGINE:2.0-litre, 16-valve, DOHC four-cylinder (155 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque); six-speed manual, six-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels FUEL ECONOMY: 1(Premium) Manual as tested, 8.8/6.9L/100 km city/highway CARGO: 130 litres PRICE: Base, $35,300; as tested, $41,495 including $1,795 shipping fee WEBSITE: www.mazda.ca

LEFT: The GS model with Sport Package includes 17-inch BBS forged alloy wheels (dark finish), dark finish Brembo front brakes and red painted front and rear brake calipers. RIGHT: The Sport Package also includes heated Recaro seats in leather and Alcantara trimmed with twin speakers in each headrest.

and auxiliary audio inputs, cloth seats, 6-way manual driver’s seat, sport suspension with Bilstein shocks, Limited Slip Differential (LSD), rain-sensing wipers, seven-inch colour touchscreen display with Mazda Connect and HMI Commander, navigation system and body colour interior side door trim.

The $4,400 Sport Package adds 17-inch BBS forged alloy wheels (dark finish), Brem-

bo front brakes (opposed piston design/ unique rotor), red painted front and rear brake calipers and heated Recaro sport seats that are leather and Alcantara trimmed.

In short, the Sport comes fully loaded and ready to go, which is just what I did for a week.

I think I travelled more than 1,000 km with the top down all the way over a variety of roads from highways to cottage lanes.

Closing the manual top is just a matter of reaching behind you and pulling forward until the centre clasp engages and then all you need is to clamp it shut.

The six-speed manual is a treat, with spring loading making the next shift up or down a snap. You can tell the clutch loading has been tuned and honed by Mazda engineers who I personally know love working on this car.

And then there are the lines.

Tom Matano, who penned the design of the first and second generation Miata has become a friend of mine and he was there with me when the new, fourth generation MX-5 was unveiled two years ago.

I’ll always remember him exclaiming, “They nailed it.”

And he was right. From the side and especially the rear, you can mistake the MX-5 for a Jaguar F-Type roadster.

At a list price of $39,700 (not including $1,795 shipping) it may not have the power of the similarly sized Porsche 718 2.0-litre 300 hp Boxster at $63,900, but it sure has the same instant response to steering, throttle and ride inputs.

Another plus of the MX-5 is its relative simplicity. When it comes to DIY things such as changing the brake pads, the parts are readily available.

Since it bowed, Mazda has always said all of its products have “the soul of a sportscar.”

And that soul can nowhere better be found than in the MX-5 GS Sport.

LOS ANGELES, CA: This week at the LA Auto Show, Volkswagen will unveil the Passat GT concept, designed by the company’s North American engineering hub in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Combining fresh styling updates with the powerful 280 hp VR6 engine, the Passat GT concept previews a potential addition to the Passat lineup.

The concept was created by Volkswagen’s North American Engineering and Planning Center in Chattanooga based on extensive feedback from U.S. customers and dealers. More than 20 design changes from the standard Passat mark the GT as a unique, eye-catching sedan.

Starting from the black honeycomb grille insert with red accent lines that harken to those on the Volkswagen Golf GTI, the upgrades include unique bum-

per treatments, black window surrounds, a black roof and trunk spoiler, LED headlights, smoked taillights, a dual trapezoidal exhaust and a sport muffler.

The 19-inch Tornado wheels cover redpainted brake calipers, and a 0.6-inch reduction in ride height gives the Passat GT concept a road-hugging stance.

Inside, the Passat GT creates a sportier impression with carbon-fiber pattern door trim and instrument panel, two-tone black-and-gray sport seats with contrast stitching, a black headliner and piano black center console trim.

Power comes from the Volkswagen 3.6litre TSI VR6, which makes 280 hp, tied to a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, controlled through shift paddles behind the steering wheel.

The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox has its world debut at this week’s LA Auto Show featuring a fresh design, the latest connectivity and all-turbo engines for redesigned compact CUV.

LOS ANGELES, CA: The redesigned 2018 Chevrolet Equinox will make its public auto show this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Offering an expressive design, the latest connectivity, more safety features and a trio of propulsion choices — including the segment’s only turbo-diesel — the all-new Equinox is a fresh and modern compact SUV. The new Equinox’s expressive exterior has a lean, muscular skin echoing the global Chevrolet design cues and the sculpted shapes seen in the Volt, Malibu and Cruze.

Projector-beam headlamps are standard, along with LED daytime running lamps, while horizontal taillamps emphasize a wide stance. Uplevel models feature LED taillamps.

Inside, new elements such as available denim-style seat fabric blend high style with high durability, while a new flat-folding rear seat enhances functionality and enables easier loading.

The 2018 Equinox also offers Chevrolet’s

latest connectivity technologies, including seven- and eight-inch-diagonal MyLink infotainment systems designed to support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as an available OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is subject to their terms, privacy statements and data plan rates, as well as a compatible smartphone.)

A range of three turbocharged engines, including the segment’s first turbo-diesel in North America, provides customers more choices when it comes to performance, efficiency and capability in the all-new 2018 Chevrolet Equinox.

They include a 1.5-litre turbo, a 2.0-litre turbo that is matched with GM’s new ninespeed automatic transmission and a 1.6-litre turbo-diesel.

The lineup makes the new Equinox Chevrolet’s first model in North America with an all-turbocharged, multi-engine propulsion lineup.
