Promised to be the fastest, most responsive and cleanest hot hatch yet, the polo seems to fair well against its closest rivals of the Renault Clio sport and the Seat Ibiza Cupra.
Performance figures are impressive with an output of 178bhp at 6,200rpm and 184lbs ft of torque from 2,000rpm. These figures get the Polo GTI to 62 mph in just 6.9 seconds and keep it going until it reaches its top speed of 148mph.
The New mini Countryman is the fourth edition of the mini range, it is the first generation of mini to have 4 wheel drive as an option as well as having four fully functional passenger doors for improved access.
Mini describes the countryman as a cross-over due to the ‘All 4’ four wheel drive system being an option and not a standard feature. The ‘All 4’ system is designed to work as a 4x4 but does not work in the same way as the systems incorporated into its rival models. The mini’s system spreads the power ratio 50% to the front and 50% to the back for everyday driving with a transfer of 100% power to the rear if needed.
Mini have put a range of power plants into the countryman ranging from the entry level Mini One D with 89Bhp through to the Cooper S countryman with 181Bhp. All models will be coupled with a 6 speed gearbox as standard but petrol models will have the additional option of a 6 speed automatic with BMW’s steptronic system.

On June 12th 2010, 5 members of Sinclair Finance & Leasing will be taking part in the GEAES Welsh 3 Peaks Challenge in aid of Tŷ Hafan.
Tŷ Hafan was established in 1999 to provide respite, palliative and end of life care to the children in Wales who suffer from life-limiting conditions. Life limiting conditions are those which mean that the child or young person is not expected to reach nineteen years of age.
Children suffer from various conditions, such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Cystic Fibrosis and Celebral Palsy. Some children are diagnosed at birth; others receive no diagnosis or at some point treatment is abandoned. Children and their families might receive our support for many years or just for a few days at the end of life. Either way, Tŷ Hafan provides love, care and support for the children and their families absolutely free of charge.
Tŷ Hafan is a registered charity and was established entirely from public donations. It now costs £2.5 million a year to run the hospice and all but 17% (Government funding) is raised through the generosity of our donors and supporters.
