Welcome to the driver’s seat

The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. Zack Spencer

Audi builds some of the most attractive cars these days still convey the same sense of power and solidity that bigger products portray.

ZACK SPENCER

Question

Audi’s road ahead paved with more than good intentions 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet/S3 MONACO: Over the next 12 months or so, consumers are going to be treated to an onslaught of new entries into the premium market. Not to worry, the next wave of German sedans and convertibles are of a more affordable nature. Recently Mercedes Benz introduced their all-new CLA 250 at an eye-popping price of just $34,000 for a sleek and sexy sedan. Next year we will see the introduction of BMW’s new 1-series and 2-Series sedans, coupes and convertibles. Audi has been ahead of the curve as they helped pioneer this entry-level segment with the original, the A3 sportback, sold in Canada for years. The all-new Audi A3 sedan will arrive in March of 2014 and the convertible and more powerful S3 sedan will arrive in the fall of 2014. This week I had a chance to drive both the convertible and S3 in Monte Carlo, a full year ahead of their introduction here. I suspect the real reason to have a media event so far in advance is to give the buying public some insight and possibly delay buying a competitor’s car. Audi is one of the fastest growing premium brands and a big part of that is the variety of cars they offer. Unfortunately, we will no longer get the sportback, but the fact we get the rest of the line of A3s is exciting for buyers.

Looks The A3 is built off a shared of the quietest on the market because of a special layer of sound insulation. platform with VW called MQB. This The interior headliner is colour-matched platform was a significant investment to the car for an added level of visual for the VW group as it is lighter, bigger pop, plus the roof can be and stronger than the raised or lowered while last Golf platform and the car is driving up to provides a sturdy basis 50km/h. for the A3 Cabrio and S3. The new Cabriolet is 60kg Inside Another lighter than the outgoing strength of Audi is European model, yet interior fit and finish the wheelbase is longer and these new products The A3 Cabriolet and the interior room are covered in first class and trunk more ample. It and S3 confirm that materials. The dash has could be argued that Audi good things do come a centre-mounted screen is building some of the for accessing the easy-toin small packages most attractive cars these use computer controller. Zack Spencer days and these smaller Unlike the Mercedes CLA, products still convey the this screen can fold into same sense of power and solidity the dash to provide a more polished that the bigger products portray. The look. Some think the dash-mounted S3 is especially forceful with a 15mm screens look like an afterthought, but lower stance than the A3 sedan. The this one gets around this problem. air intakes are bigger with more detail; Space is good for such a compact car. the side mirrors are highlighted with The back seat of the S3 sedan is actualbrushed aluminum; and the rear of ly big enough to fit adults up to six feet the car looks more masculine thanks tall and the side windows are much to chunky exhaust tips. The Cabriolet bigger than the new Mercedes CLA, on the other hand is a more sophistiproviding a more practical day-to-day cated approach thanks to the use of sedan. The trunk is large and the rear aluminum around the front windshield seats split and fold for added cargo and trim along the doors and rear volume. This is true with the Cabriolet quarter panel that make the car look but the space is constricted when the bigger than it is. Audi claims that this roof is down. The S3 comes with nicely new five-layer convertible roof is one bolstered front seats in contrasting co-

lours, plus an optional diamond pattern stitch can be ordered to take the sporty sedan to another level. I found the seating position very comfortable and outward visibility is not a problem. The Cabriolet seats are fitted with a heater that showers the front passengers with warm air across their shoulders and neck for top-down stints. The weather in Monte Carlo was perfect for the convertible – the sun was shining off the Mediterranean, showcasing this car of opulence at a more affordable price. Drive The Canadian models have not fully been nailed down, as there is still a year to go until the Cabrio and S3 arrive. What is established is the convertible will come with the all-new 2.0L direct injection turbo with 220hp, matched to Audi’s Quattro all-wheeldrive system. A six-speed automatic is confirmed but the duel-clutch S-Tronic transmission might be sold as an option in this model. There will be no manual shift and no diesel, which is a shame, as I drove one of the European versions with this setup and it was superb. The S3 comes standard with a 300hp version of the same 2.0L engine and the duel clutch automatic, and of course, AWD. It’s not as powerful as the 355hp Mercedes CLA 45 AMG, but I feel it has more usable power.

OF THE WEEK: Which would you rather have a truck or a sports car?—and please say why.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Go to drivewayBC.ca to submit your answer.

Safety Tip: Ice and snow can hit unexpectedly at this time of the year. This is a good time to make sure your tires are rated for the conditions you may be driving in and check your tire pressure regularly – pressure drops in cold weather and overinflated tires can reduce gripping.

The CLA gets peak horsepower at very high revs, whereas this new S3 pulls from very low speeds up to higher speeds. I experienced this carving the switchback mountain roads just above Monaco. Power is not an issue; I would argue that the S3 is a better everyday car compared to the more nervous feeling AMG competitor. The suspension is more compliant and the power

is a perfect combination of drivability and enthusiasm. At the end of our day I sat next to Florian Uselt, Audi’s head of small engine development, and I asked why they did not decide to chase the horsepower rating of 355hp from the Mercedes CLA AMG. His answer makes sense and was confirmed in the way the S3 behaves. He feels that everyday drivability and performance need to be balanced and they look at the car as a whole, meaning

I know I wrote about winter driving last week and the snow and rain began to fall in various parts of the province but please don’t blame me for this first blast of chilly weather. I’m here to help and at the For most people risk of bringing on a blizzard, who are just using I thought I would share some information on snow plows. a plow for clearing For most people who are just their own driveway, using a plow for clearing their a straight-blade will own driveway, a straightblade will more than likely be more than likely be just fine. Snowsport offers a just fine. personal plow that is perfect Ian Harwood for the homeowner. This system attaches to a front mounted receiver just as a boat trailer would. The U shaped bracket is connected to the receiver and the snow blade rides up and down on these bars to allow for change in the terrain your plowing. Because there are no hydraulics involved, all you do is back up and the snow blade lies back skimming over the surface. When driving forward the blade automatically re-engages for plowing. When you are finished, lift the blade back over the push frame into the transport position. The cost of this option is $1,644. K2 is another brand of snowplow designed for the homeowner with acreage. Designed to work with a front receiver hitch, just like the Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock. The winch is controlled from inside the cab and will raise or lower the height of the blade. The blade comes with a hardened steel cutting edge scraper, rubber snow deflector, skid shoes, and plow markers. It is available in 82”, 84”, and 88” lengths. Cost is $1,315. If you use a plow to make money, then you will want to be able to do the job quickly and efficiently, so you may want to go with the multi-position. Multi-position plows are up to 50 percent faster due to the fact that you can reposition the blades to all straight-blade positions in addition to the scoop and V positions. This makes the plow adaptable to nearly any job you need to do. When it comes to the composition of the blade you have the choice between steel and poly. The vast majority of snowplows on the market today come with steel blades, although the poly plows are becoming more and more popular. The reason for the growing popularity is that poly is just as

They should just call the 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid Sedan the Gas Miser.

Driving to cut Big Oil profits They should just call the 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid Sedan the Gas Miser. The car is here for market testing right now but surely, it will see production next year and arrive in dealerships later in the year. And when it does sell your shares in Big Oil. The Accord plugIt only sips gas by the spoonin coaxed me into a ful; how else do you account little competition with for an easily achievable 4.1 L/100km combined city/high- myself every time out way fuel economy rating? to achieve maximum Drive gently around town fuel efficiency. and you can purr along in all-electric mode for between Keith Morgan 20 and 28 kms depending on road conditions. You won’t achieve that all at once, unless it’s the dead of night on a flat road, without any other traffic and green lights all the way. However, it is estimated that if you achieve that 20-plus all-electric ride during a 100 km journey, the power unit will consume electricity/gasoline at an equivalency of around 1.6 L/100km. In truth, it’s hard to put a real life meaning into that number but it is useful when comparing with other similarly equipped cars. But when you look at that number and the low gas/hybrid combined fuel performance, which enables you to journey 800 kilometres on one tank, it does plant the notion in one’s head that plug-in hybrids are the way to go for a while before we reach hydrogen fuel cell nirvana. The car is powered by Honda’s first two-motor hybrid system, and uses a new, delightfully named, Earth Dreams 2.0 litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine producing 137 horsepower, teamed with a powerful 124-kilowatt (kW) electric motor. Electric driving is supported by a 6.7 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, and total system output is 196 horsepower. If your eyes glazed over at the obligatory statement of power unit specifications, join the club! Fuel economy interests me more. Like every other car with green aspirations that I have driven, it coaxed me into a little competition with myself every time out to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. It’s fun to select EV mode and pull away in the morning in silence, operating as a pure electric vehicle. Even in stop and go traffic, it works well, the regenerative braking keeps topping up the battery. As the speedo creeps up the gas engine kicks in quietly and smoothly. If you select HV mode it operates as a conventional hybrid. I drove a production version of the Ford Fusion Energi a few months ago, which is similarly equipped and impresses equally with its infrequent need to visit the pump. The plug in Toyota Prius is another contender for the green dollar. The Ford is probably the nearest equivalent and sells for around $35,000 so that will be the sticker price to beat. I would like to hear from early adopters of the plug in hybrid technology about their experiences. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The poly plows are also saturated with color all the way through so nicks and scratches do not show like they do with steel, plus they do not rust. Attaching and detaching the plow is very

important as well. You do not want to be freezing and trying to deal with getting a blade on and off your truck. Try the attachment system for yourself at the dealer so you can see firsthand how easy or difficult it is to use.

Why women can negotiate a better car deal then and there. “Many are convinced that the forceful tactics men use during negotiations are actually working against them in car buying situations. Men

He adds that women don’t mind shopping around, browsing at various products, taking the information and then contemplating it. They aren’t always in a hurry to buy right

tend to focus on status and act upon superiority, which is a poor way of negotiating. “While the man says, ‘Take it or leave it,’ the woman might be more collaborative and

willing to compromise—thus making them better negotiators. Listening is the key, not aggression and intimidation.” He goes on to say that, “Women understand that a

common ground is usually the best platform for a fair negotiation. Empathy plays a large role in that regards. Being able to view the situation from another person’s perspective

doesn’t necessarily create an advantage, but it does allow the person to understand why they aren’t getting the upper hand.” alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

For many people, buying a car is a stressful process. Something worse than going to the dentist or for women, a Brazilian waxing. Ouch. It can be a lengthy one too. Furthermore, it doesn’t always start by going from dealership to dealership. In fact, most people have access to the Internet, so they’re doing their research beforehand, prior to even leaving their home and finding themselves on a dealer lot, or with glossy brochures in hand. They look at various vehicle reviews, flip through newspapers (like the one you’re reading now) and ask other car owner’s opinions. When they get to the dealership, that’s when it becomes real. You take the car for a test drive, fall in love with it or walk away from it. When you find “the one” then comes the time to sign on the dotted line. But before you seal the deal, it’s time to negotiate, unless you’re happy with the price given. For women, this can be an even more intimidating process. Getting through the dealer’s door is just the first hurdle they feel they have to overcome. But for Vijay Jeyapalan, of Unhaggle (www.unhaggle.com), which helps Canadian car buyers get the best price on their new car by getting dealers to compete to offer the lowest price – he’d argue that women are better negotiators than men; an idea that challenges societal norms when it comes to car buying. Jeyapalan says, “Before stepping into the showroom or test-driving a vehicle, most women are recognized to have done their homework and pre-purchase preparations. This advantage allows them to properly assess what they want upon arrival and ask the necessary questions to advance the car buying process.” His point centres on the notion that when you know less, you prepare more. With all the tools out there, it’s not as difficult or as timeconsuming as it has been in the past. Sites dedicated to women and automobiles are there to assist, as well as female car reviews, lifestyle writers, mommy bloggers and more.

overall look of the car. A major difference between Chevrolet’s Camaro and, its rival, the Ford Mustang is the rear axle and suspension setup. Mustang has a rigid rear axle and the Camaro uses a more sophisticated independent link system with coil springs attached to an isolated subframe. It should result in a better riding and handling car, but that debate rolls on. A driving drawback that’s common to many sports cars is rear visibility and small side mirrors don’t help matters. The Camaro’s trunk is also on the small side but all is forgiven when you step on the gas pedal and hit the road. A Camaro Convertible was introduced for the 2011 model year. Other significant changes included an

eight-horsepower output increase for the base 3.6-litre V6 and a “Head-Up” dash display was offered (on 2LT and SS trim levels). The base engine was also upgraded to a new “LFX” 3.6-litre, V6. Although its displacement is the same as the original, this new engine is lighter and more

powerful. A limited edition high-performance Camaro ZL1 arrived in 2012. This car has a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine that can produce an insane 580 horsepower … and is collector car certainty. A special 45th Anniversary Package was also offered on Camaro and Camaro SS.

maro V6 can reach 100 km/ hour in just 6.1 seconds and SS can do it in a tire blistering 4.7 seconds, which is super-car territory. Fuel consumption is also less (or better) than you might expect and both engines can run on regular gasoline. The Camaro V6 (auto) is rated at 11.4 L/100km in city and 6.7 L/100km on highway. And the SS (auto) is rated at 13.2 L/100km in city and 7.9 L/100km on highway. Compared to the original ‘67 this Camaro is longer, wider and taller. Bigger wheels, which came in 18-inch to 21-inch rim sizes, accounted for much of the height increase. Regardless of the rim size originally ordered, the overall height and tire-to-body gap remained the same, so that it doesn’t detract from the
