Audi A3 Sportback

3/29/2013

The latest Audi A3 made its UK debut in September 2012, but the best-selling body-style in the range is the five-door Sportback.

It has always fared well against compact upmarket rivals from BMW and Lexus, but now Mercedes-Benz and Volvo have credible alternatives in the sector with the new A-Class and the V40.

Customers who need the extra practicality have had to wait until spring 2013, but early signs suggest it is well worth the wait.

Range Rover

This is only the fourth new Range Rover since the first in 1970 – which came with an asking price of £1,800.

Range Rover II arrived in 1994 and ‘Series III’ in 2002. Range Rover III abandoned a separate chassis for unitary bodywork, albeit reinforced for off-road use. It might have broken a Land Rover tradition at the time but that was when it broke into the luxury car class – and there was no going back.

Range Rover IV is also new from the ground up and just as radical a departure.

Dacia Sandero

This is Britain’s cheapest new car. At £5,995 the Dacia Sandero costs less than some watches, less than what the average UK family owes in unsecured borrowings and at £69 per month it is available for the same price as what some people pay for gym membership.

But is it any good? It is Britain’s cheapest car, so don’t expect miracles, but it’s not bad, even if it is no-frills (or thrills for that matter).
