. 5.1 seconds, the M3 is quick, handles ' beautifully and boasts one of the most
intoxicating engine notes around. All things are, however, relative. As good as
the M3 is, after a period spent in one,-it is., tempting to fantasise how much better this car would be if there was a little more of almost everything - more power, greater reserves of roadholding, better feedback and an even more focused interior. More of every thing isn’t all good though. Less weight for instance. Fantasise no longer, for the result of

rivals. The addition of the 130 b.h.p. TDI diesel engine as tested here has only served to underscore the point. The TDI 130 engine is already fitted
to its Sharan and Galaxy doppelgangers and will be familiar fare to those weaned on Volkswagen Group products. But familiarity in this instance certainly does not breed contempt. Although not of the common-rail family of diesel engines, the Pump Duse power plant is

minology, “extreme skiers”, for instance, start ed referring to themselves as “freeskiers” at least two years ago. I t is, therefore, something of a pity that Jeep would choose to shackle an otherwise agreeable Cherokee special edition model with such a name as the Extreme Sport. Still, if you can get over the cringe-inducing moniker, you will find a worthwhile offering. In tru th, the changes th a t turn a Jeep
Cherokee Sport into an Extreme Sport are extremely modest, consisting of a set of unique 16 in. alloy wheels, wheelarch exten sions and bumpers and front grille finished in
average fuel consumption figure of just over 19 m.p.g. is not going to make you a Friends of The Earth mascot, nor is the emissions figure of 347g/km. The performance figures go some way to exonerating the Cherokee as it is able to shift its hardly inconsequential 1867kg bulk to 60 m.p.h. in a 10.5 seconds, although top

to mark the Cherokee Extreme Sport down as an unspectacular effort. Don’t let that detract from the fact that in the Cherokee customers are getting a very sound product. I t just needs a little extra something to jus

Indepen dent front suspension is a first for a Cherokee, as is a unibody construction, ditching the tra ditional separate ladder-framed chassis. At this point, the purists will probably be
the boost in outright power over Jeep’s 2.5- litre CRD diesel engine is not enormous, the gain in torque means far greater capability. With 2661b/ft of torque available, the Chero kee Extreme Sport 2.8 CRD has way more pulling power than the 3.7-litre V6 petrol car. With this amount of sheer lugging intensity, the 2.8 CRD can tow 3.5 tonnes, making it an ideal vehicle for those who want to tow serious caravans, boats or other large trailers.

Of more relevance to UK buyers is the 2.8-

Petrol buyers are offered the 208 b.h.p. 3.7-litre V6, priced at £20,880, while diesel buyers can count on 148 b.h.p. from the 2.8-litre CRD common rail engine, yours for £21,880 with a Cherokee Extreme Sport wrapped around it. By now, the more diligent among you may well be scanning price lists in order to establish exactly how much extra Jeep is charging to Extreme your Cherokee Sport. The answer is £885 in the case of the CRD diesel. The V6 engine is muscular, although the

bargain basement £39,735 M3. This pitches the CSL smack into 911 Carrera territory and, like the Porsche, the'BMW cranks out a healthy 360 b.h.p. from its water-cooled six- cylinder engine. In creating the CSL, which is BMW speak
for Coupe, Sport and Lightweight, the engi neers a t the M division have succeeded in stripping 110kg from the M3’s kerb weight. The weight loss plan was more than merited due to the fact that the compact M3 is a sur prisingly hefty car, weighing in even heavier than bruisers like the Nissan Skyline GT-R34 and the Chevrolet Corvette.
