NEW MINI CLUBMAN: It adds a dose of commonsense without spoiling a great little driving car.

Mini Clubman a sporty, versatile mini wagon

WHILE the latest Mini Cooper Clubman station wagon, released here in November 2015, is larger and more conventional in styling than before it remains unmistakably a Mini with its squat shape and distinctive grille. The most significant change is in its length, up by 292 mm to 4253 mm while it is now 117 mm wider (1800 mm) with the wheelbase extended by 123 mm. Height remains at 1441 mm. Gone, thankfully, is the small rearmounted passenger door which was a talking point with the old Clubman and, because it opened onto the traffic side of the road in Australia (and the UK) gave real meaning to its ‘suicide

By ALISTAR KENNEDY door’ nickname. New Clubman now has conventional rear passenger doors while retaining the previous side-hinged ‘barn doors’ at the rear making it the first ever six-door Mini. We ageing baby boomers grew up with the Mini. Sadly most of us have subsequently grown out as well as up so the extra doors and increased interior space are welcome. Rear legroom has improved noticeably courtesy of the extended wheelbase with the flat roofline ensuring reasonable rear headroom despite the car’s height being unchanged.

There’s also extra storage space with the boot now up to a reasonable 360 litres, out to 1250 litres with the rear seatbacks lowered. The car’s party piece is the optional kick-motion automatic opening of the barn doors, one kick opens the right-hand door, two kicks open both. The left-hand door must be closed first and there’s a large piece of rubber on the lock to avoid damage if they’re closed in the wrong order. Once inside the new Mini Clubman there’s no doubting that you’re in a Mini with its iconic large central circular dial, big instruments, and toggle switches. Though we don’t remember mood

lighting being a feature of the original Mini. The big dial houses a wide but narrow screen to display the various features including satellite navigation (standard on the Cooper S but optional on the base model). The engine start/stop is by a red-lit toggle switch on the lower part of the dashboard while the old conventional handbrake is replaced by a small electronic lever. No more handbrake turns… There’s also an optional head-up display that projects onto a pop-up screen rather than the windscreen.

All new Skoda Superb

By EWAN KENNEDY

SKODA Superb is a large European car that combines the best of automotive engineering from its home country of the Czech Republic and its parent country Germany. One of the world’s oldest car makers, having celebrated its 120th anniversary last year, Skoda is renowned for providing excellent interior space; to the extent there’s limo-like room in the rear seat of the Superb. The just launched third-generation model exceeds even the spaciousness of the just superseded gen-two thanks to having a longer wheelbase and a wider body. Need to carry two big adults and three large teenagers? Not a problem. Superb is also voluminous in the cargo area and is offered in hatchback and station wagon bodies. Styling is excellent, with sharp lines reminiscent of those of upmarket Audi models, and the shape seems sure to remain timeless. Inside the superb Superb (sorry) the design and high-quality materials are more akin to those found in the upmarket German marques, yet the price list begins at a mere $39,990 plus on-roads. The previous Superb had the unusual feature of a folded umbrella inside one of the rear door armrests. The new model not only has two umbrellas, but they are kept in the front doors so are available more quickly. Skoda’s local importer is well aware of Australian drivers’ love of sporting performance cars and so is bringing in only the quick versions of Superb. The topline 206TSI has a 206 kW turbopetrol engine, drives through all four wheels for additional cornering power, which is

SKODA S: Sharp lines of the all-new Skoda Superb are reminiscent of those of upmarket Audi models, we like it… aided by lowered sports suspension and larger wheels and tyres. Superb’s standard turbo-petrol has 162 kW of power; rounding out the range is a 140 kW turbo-diesel with a very healthy 400 Nm of torque. Our first driving impressions were from the back seat of a Superb that arrived to transfer us from Sydney airport. I stretched out my long legs, and adjusted the temperature and fan speed from the air conditioning controls at the rear of the centre console. Then settled back to watch the world go by, occasionally checking out on a rainstorm on the BoM weather map that seemed to be approaching my Gold Coast home on the iPad attached to the back of the front seat headrest.

Then it was time to get behind the wheel of a pair of the big Skodas ourselves. We tested a Superb 140TDI diesel and a 206TSI high-performance petrol for over 400 kilometres on a road course set by Skoda in the Southern Highlands of NSW as part of the media launch. Weight reduction achieved by the use of the Volkswagen Group’s MQB platform is between 90 and 120 kilograms depending on the model. Allied with the added power and torque of the engines the all-new Superb has good steering response and a nicely balanced feel on the road. In particular the sporting Skoda Superb 206TSI really does feel the part. It’s not quite RS Audi, AMG Merc or BMW M, but it doesn’t pretend to challenge them.

The Czech machine has the sort of performance that will please most Australian drivers and costs less than half the price of the big name Germans. Ride comfort is high and sound reduction is impressive, so this Skoda will make an excellent long distance touring machine in country roads in Australia that have seen better days. We even gave ours a dirt track test and it shrugged off the rough surface with ease. Similarly, coarse-chip surfaces didn’t result in the sort of road that can afflict many imported cars. The clarity of the eight-inch colour touchscreen is excellent and can be quickly scanned and used by the driver without too much inattention. The infotainment system can be connected to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Columbus system offers Bluetooth hands-free with text messaging, a JPEG viewer, and 64 GB flash memory. Audio and video files can be played via a DVD drive. Superb comes standard with eight speakers and offers the Canton sound system as part of the optional Tech Pack. Canton has a 610 watt output and 12 speakers There are two SD card slots as well as USB and Aux-in connectivity. Skoda remains an enigma in Australia. Prices have been trimmed for Australia to try to gather more buyers and sales are increasing. But not as fast as they should. Will this new generation Skoda Superb change that situation? It certainly should. May we suggest that if you’re looking for a bargain priced large hatch or wagon the Superb deserves a place on your short list?

Mini Clubman a sporty, versatile mini wagon At a Glance

From page 1

In true BMW fashion (the German company owns Mini) there’s a long list of options to push the price way up. Two variants are available in Australia, Cooper and Cooper S. The standard Cooper uses a threecylinder 1.5-litre turbo-petrol that generates 100 kW of power and 220 Nm (at 1250 rpm) of torque. The Cooper Clubman S is powered by a 141 kW / 280 Nm (at 1250 rpm) fourcylinder turbo-petrol with a capacity of 2.0 litres. A diesel engine is available in overseas markets but Mini has no immediate plans to add it to its Australian range. However, we can expect to see the more powerful and sportier John Cooper Works (JCW) version within the next 12 months. The Cooper has a six-speed automatic and the S an all-new Aisin eight-speed. The Cooper S gets paddle shifters, the Cooper doesn’t. A six-speed manual is available in all models but only on special order and at the same price as the autos. Fuel consumption from the Cooper is rated at 5.4 litres per 100 kilometres and 6.4 L/100 km from the Cooper S. If you’re looking for the latest and greatest in technology and connectivity it will come at a price. The standard infotainment features are modest with Bluetooth, a 6.5-inch colour monitor, six-speaker audio; and Aux, USB and 12V sockets. We feel most buyers will opt for the Multimedia Pro package which will add $3650 to the price of the Cooper and

Clubman 1.5-litre turbo-petrol six-door wagon: $34,900 (six-speed manual or sixspeed automatic)

Clubman S 2.0-litre turbopetrol six-door wagon: $42,900 (six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic) $2700 to the S. It increases screen size to 8.8 inches and includes satellite navigation; voice recognition; Harmon Kardon 12-speaker HiFi; head-up display; and DAB+ digital radio. Safety equipment on all Clubman models includes six airbags; ABS with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution; front and rear foglights; dynamic stability and traction control; forward collision warning; electronic differential lock control; reversing camera; Rear Park Distance Control; tyre pressure warning system; and Isofix child seat mountings on the two outboard rear seats. Clubman S also gets Performance Control to reduce understeering and increase traction in hard cornering. Our Mini Clubman test car was the

Cooper S and what a delightful little car it is to drive in a variety of conditions. Even around town its sharp acceleration and nimble handling can take the drudgery out of the daily commute while it’s quite at home on the motorway. Get it out onto the open road and, despite its extra size and weight, the performance is exhilarating with the pin sharp steering and willingness to grip hard through bends that keen drivers love. Adding to the variety the Clubman Cooper S has a feature called Mini Driving Modes which has three different settings operated by a rotary switch at the base of the gear selector lever. ‘MID’ mode is the default setting for routine driving; while ‘Green’ mode tones everything back to minimise fuel consumption.

And then there’s ‘Sport’ mode which switches to a sportier set up with changes to the throttle, steering and suspension for livelier performance and a crackling engine sound. Even with the firmer suspension on the Cooper S its ride remained comfortable enough for long trips. Fuel consumption during our week-long test in the Clubman Cooper S averaged out at 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres including plenty of time in the ‘Sport’ mode. Switching down to ‘Green’ mode, we were able to get below 5.0 L/100 km at times. One downside is the restricted rear visibility caused by the combination of a small rear window that’s parted in the middle by the twin rear doors.
