When it comes to small luxury cars, none is better than Audi’s new A1. Even though this car is cheaper than the other Audis,the drive and ability is every bit the same. The car itself is built for comfort rather than blistering pace or excitement.
With its varied range and fantastic engines the A1 is an extremely capable motor, and the leader in its class.
The A1 also feels amazingly well made and you can see (and feel!) the attention to detail in every inch of its interior and exterior.
Our choice is the 2.0 TDI with its excellent 0-62 time of 8.2 seconds, 6 speed manual and C02 emissions of only 108g/km.
All engines come with a stop start system and the fuel mileage is an amazing achievement. Yes, nearly 70mpg from an enjoyable and peppy engine that will satisfy the most ardent fans of large luxury cars.
If you are looking for small, reliable, and ecomonical luxury then this is the obvious choice. Nothing comes close and Audi should be proud of the achievement, especially since they seem to have created a whole new sector of amazing small luxury. Residual values are also high for most used audi cars so it can really be a better investment than most vehicles.
Today, we have arose to a bevvy of news regarding the new Mercedes SL (2013 model). The main detail we noticed is that this new Mercedes is made almost completely from aluminium, making the car 308 lbs lighter than the previous model. Aluminium vehicles also have a much more sporty feel due to the light weight.
Both iterations of the new model come with the Agility Control Suspension although there is an option to upgrade to the Active Body Control System. This is in conjunction with an electromechanical power steering system which makes it easier for the driver to perfom maneuvers at low speeds and makes the feeling heavier at high speeds.
In the E.U., The new SL will have two petol engines and a 7 speed automatic gearbox.
One is the 3.5 litre v6 with 302Hp and 274 ft.lb oftorque, which is 0.3 seconds faster than the old model. This engine also does a respectable 34.6mpg.
The 4.6 litre V8 engine is the beast of the bunch, launching the car to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds.
Technology weighs the car down from its basic weight, as the new SL has the driver drowsiness detection system, adaptive brakes as standard.
Look out for this amazing new car at the Detroit Motor Show in January next year.
