Why so Great ? Classy image, interior quality, residual value

The new Volkswagen Polo’s launch is so secret even company insiders are reduced to talking in whispers when releasing snippets of informations. While that doesn’s give us much to go on, it does hint at the level of expectation surrounding the car.

Although nobody is expecting prices to drop, you should get a lot more for your money. The new VW Polo will be based on the same underpinnings as Seat’s Ibiza, which handles and rides pretty well.

Styling is expected to follow along the same lines as the Golf Mk VI, which means an evolution of the familiar rather than something too radical.

A Bluemotion version of the car is rumored to be powered by 1.2 TDI, with emissions of just 89g/km of CO2. However, this is likely to follow a few months after the initial launch pushing it into 2010.

VW Polo 2009A 1.0 petrol could go on sale as part of VW’s eco-drive, although such a unit was originally thought to be reserved for the Up city car project, in the pipeline for 2011 or beyond.

2009 Seat Exeo Weekly Review

2009 Seat Exeo

Since Seat has committed to growing its sales volumes across Europe, and needs a model in the upper Mid segment. It may be a market in decline, but it is still the third largest market sector and accounts for 17% of sales.

As it needed a challenger toute suite, it simply borrowed the old A4 production line, shipped it from Ingolstadt to Martorell, and began production. Of course, having ex-Audi top man Eric Schmitt as the new Seat president helps. And as Seat wants a quality offering, going to the acknowledged leaders in terms of build quality makes this decision something of a no-brainer.
The familiar solid ride quality is there, trying to find a trade off between comfort and secure handling. Like the Audi, the 2009 Seat Exeo veers towards stiffness (and veers towards uncomfortable in Sport specification with 18-inch wheels and revised suspension), but the new Servo-tronic power steering is a welcome addition, adding plenty of weight into the rack to give more precision.

When it goes on sale in the UK, there will be three engine options for 2009 Seat Exeo – 2.0-litre TDI diesels with 143 and 170bhp (both the new common rail units) and a 200 bhp 2.0 litre TSI petrol unit borrowed from the Golf GTI.

Only 170bhp diesel was available to drive on Seat Exeo, accessing power from right down at the bottom of the rev range and surging you forward with ease. It’s a little bit gruff at start-up, but on the move settles down into a muted accompaniment.

MINI Cooper Convertible 2009 @ Latest Preview

MINI Cooper Convertible 2009

The above picture shows that Mini has different alloy wheel designs within the model and silver-capped door mirrors show that Mini Cooper Convertible will still offer a huge variety of personalization option.

This Mini version is the turbo-charged Cooper S, it is distinguished by its own bonnet air scoop and twin pipe exhausts. The canvas roof will again offer a clever two-stage opening system – you can pick between a 40cm mini opening to create a sunroof or the usual, top-down full soft top.

Rotate to the rear, the brand new Mini Cooper Convertible 2009 will have a custom design window and rollover hoop. For more details, we still need to wait until the Paris motor show debut in October 2008.

New Features:

• Electric assisted steering system that doesn’t draw power until you turn the wheel

• A regulated oil pump that consumes less energy
• An automatic start/stop system

• Intelligent alternator control that only charges the battery when coasting or braking
• A display for letting the driver know the best time to change gear to minimize fuel consumption

Engines in the Mini Convertible:
The power plant engines will be carried over from the Mini hatch and Clubman quasi-estate. So the new PSA BMW four cylinder engine will replace the older-tech Chrysler nowadays which will fully increased the power of the first generation BMW Minis. Bid the Cooper S’s supercharged wail farewell…

The green credentials are also impressive, the CO2 expected to release out as low as just 104g/km on if a diesel version is offered.

Estimate Price:
Expect the Mini One convertible will start at £14,000 and the Mini Cooper S convertible 2009 will be sold for around £18,000 when it start on sale in summer 2009. In the meantime, check out Mini for sale webpage and find out the great deals for Mini Cooper.
