Weight has also dropped by 8kg and a six-speed gear box is a standard fit. All of this should point to unprecedented performance fig ures and the 330d does not disappoint.

You would think that offering a range of willing engines, some neat styling touches and topping it off with aggressive pricing would be enough, but despite boasting all of the above, the latest Almera still trails its mainstream competitors by quite a mar gin. Nissan hopes the latest range of Almera Flare models will be a little more successful. The Almera has never been known for

The latest S60 sees the introduction of a 210 b.h.p. 2.5-litre power plant to replace the 200 b.h.p. 2.4-litre unit. Petrol-powered S60s get the option of an uprated Speed Dependent Steering system for £225, but most will be quite happy with the revised ZF steering sys tem.

All models from the 180 b.h.p. 2.0-litre, the 210 b.h.p. 2.5, the 250 b.h.p. T5 SE and the 300 b.h.p. T5R are generally faster and generally better equipped than rival German marques. If you would like to cut your fuel bills, you can even opt for an LPG or CNG powered Bi-Fuel model that is dramatically more cost-effective and is even greener to boot. The 163 b.h.p. S60 D5 diesel version acquits itself superbly, especially as its Volvo’s first in-house stab at a diesel engine.

AB FAB GETS THE BOOT Andy Enright Reports
Never underestimate Skoda's potential for surprise, first they achieved the impossible - rebranding themselves as a credible choice for just the sort of person who'd never be seen dead in a Skoda. Secondly they pulled off the Car of The Year award with the Fabia hatch. Thirdly, the Fabia metamorphoses into estate versions and a saloon. What next? One trim level is available with three engines to choose from. Opening the range is the £9,230 1.9-litre SOI, a relatively low-tech diesel engine that musters 64bhp. Next up is the tOObhp 1.4-litre 16v petrol- powered version at £9,510 whilst the most expensive Fabia saloon makes do with a 75bhp version of the 1.4- litre engine mated to an automatic gearbox at £10,015. Again, Skoda bends the conventions. Most manufacturers would have offset the drivetrain power losses of the

automatic box with the more powerful engine. Still, if they were conventional, they'd be VW. so the Czechs look set to continue bamboozling us with wacky differentiation. What other comparable four-door saloons are there for around £9,000? In terms of quality - none, and its doubtful that the sort of buyer who'd be attracted by the Skoda's build and image would be swayed by the attractions of a Proton Wira or a Kia New Mentor. Operating in a class of one is always good news for the revenue stream. Like all good ideas, it’s a wonder nobody thought of the Fabia saloon before-.
