O follow up on the critical acclaim received by its Satria GTi, Proton has launched the £10,299 Satria Sprint, a less


. .


powerful stablemate. You get what you pay for, of course, and


in this case that is the now deleted Satna 1.6 LXi model (which used to cost around £9,000) with a body kit.


. Nothing wrong with that in principle of


course: you could say much the same about Peugeot and Renault rivals. Just do


not run away with the idea that you are getting a cut-price Satria GTi: the Spnnt is not intended to compete in the same


league.


You can tell that from a glance at the performance figures (60 from rest in 11.3


, , ,,


seconds on the way to 113 m.p.h. as opposed to 7.8 seconds and 126 m.p.h. for the GTi).


To be fair, that is much the same kind l mat cu me ***“ , . . .


of pace as you'd get from a typical rival, like the Peugeot 2061.6 XSi, and you get a much more exciting-looking GTi- _ themed body kit as part of the deal. There is a S p r in t sp oiler a n d seven-spoke brushed alloy wheels, while inside, the five-speed gearbox knob is a Momo leather affair, with sporty seats trimmed in a two-tone charcoal abstract pattern. A manual glass sunroof, power steering,

central locking, ABS, electric windows and an acoustically-tuned four-speaker stereo system are also included as part of


the deal. Satria sales depend on competitive pnc


ing and peace of mind, something Proton has now put in place as the first manufac­ turer to offer five years of warranty cover. If you care about that and want some­


thing that looks a little sporty, you might like this car.

speed mechanism fitted to the flagship 2.0-litre ver­ sion featured here, it might be hard for Alfa Romeo to justify such an award. The 147 does what it does


very well, with unprecedent­ ed standards of quality for an affordable Alfa. Still, it sets no new standards in any given area. Think Italianate Audi A3 and you can pretty much picture it without


ever laying eyes on one. With the'Selespeed


sequential gearbox fitted, however, it is a different story. This is the first com­ pact family car to come with the option of Fl-style gear changing paddles behind the steering wheel. As a restdt, you have only to drive down the street to feel like Michael Schumacher.


FINGER CLICKING GOOD! I


T is not often that Formula One tech­ nology finds its way


By JONATHAN CROUCH


Unlike many automatic


gearboxes with manual options, this is a real manual transmission without a clutch. You change gear by flicking the gear knob back and forth or by using the paddles behind the wheel. These are far better than the fiddly buttons fitted to the larger 156 Selespeed, which shares the same engine and transmission. Only a three-door model


is on offer at present, avail­ able either with a 1.6-litre engine and a manual gear­ box or in 2.0-litre form with the Selespeed box as fea­


tured here. However, a 2.0-litre man­


ual model and a five-door body shape will be with us shortly, plus there is a sportier GTA version to


come. Six airbags come as stan­


dard, as does dual-zone cli­ mate-controlled air condi­


tioning and, on this 2.0-litre Lusso model (the only speci­ fication on offer) a Bose stereo system. State-of-the- art multiplex wiring has made possible the option of


a full-screen voice-activated satellite navigation system with an inbuilt Bose stereo and GSM telephone system. It is not cheap, but the


satellite navigation setup is one of the best available anywhere, as is the Vehicle Dynamic Control, which is a stability control system that aims to prevent the 147


spinning. It is on a par with the PSM program used by


K ia is offering S h u m a su p e r v a lu e By JONATHAN CROUCH


IF you are after a well-equipped fami- I ly-sized five-door, a budget of under £ 10,000 does not buy you very much


these days. Or at least, that is the way it used to


be. Today, there is another alternative -


Kia's Shuma. There are now two models from


which to choose, an entry-level £8,495


1.6S and the plusher 1.6SX priced at £9,995, with the option of automatic


. . . .


transmission. T The SX adds tinted gjass, split-folding


rear seats, central locking, a height- adjustable driver's seat and power for the windows and minors. All models come in five-door body style. . Anyone who did drive the old Meritor model (on which this ear is based) will


find the ride and handling of the Shuma a significant improvement, thanks to re­


.n n in nm d susnansion. which brings a designed1.6-litre power; plant w


engineered suspension, which brings a better ride, sharper handling character­


istics and improved stability. The Koreans claim, however, that the


long distance comfort that was the sav­ ing grace of the old ear has been pre­ served. Certainly, it is still predictable, safe and easy to drive, designed for those wanting to get from A to Bas comfortably as possible, rather than driving enthusiasts. On the road, the latest Japanese-


designed 1.6-litre power plant is willing enough. Kia says that this latest engine is 17% more frugal than the old 1.8 and offers 13 b.h.p. more than the old 1.5- litre unit. At the pumps, you should average approximately 30 m.p.g. around town and between 40-45


m.p.g. on the open road. Inside, there is a surprising amount of


space and all those standard fittings to offer the impression that you are in a far more expensive car.

Porsche in the way that it credits the driver with some leeway before gently step­ ping in to restore equilibri­ um if progress is over enthu­ siastic. Driving a Selespeed-


equipped clutchless 156 often leaves one wondering whether the handbrake is sticking. Not so in the 147. The system has been opti­ mised for smoother full- throttle gear changes and a


cleverer full-automatic mode, although it still helps to lift off the gas while


changing up through the


box. The way the engine blips


the throttle for you on down changes is one of the endur­ ing pleasures of using Sele­ speed, and you will enjoy it even more in the 147. The paddles behind the


wheel are much as you will find in a Ferrari 360 Mode­

also share a turning circle visible from space. Finally, performance: 60


from rest takes 9.3 seconds on the way to 129 m.p.h. There is nothing quite


like this car. Nothing with s the same blend of passion and technology. Thank God they still make Alfas.
