WITH the weathermen predicting a really cold winter this year, here are


—y some tips to allow drivers to remain


alert and safe. • Don't always follow tracks in the snow as


these can become compacted and more slip­ pery than fresh snow; • Always brake gently and allow extra


stopping distance on icy roads; • If the car starts to slide, steer into the


skid not away from it; • Keep your air-conditioning on, even in


winter, as it will help to dehumidify the air in your vehicle and keep the windows clear of condensation thereby improving your visibil­


ity; • Do not turn the temperature up too high


in your car as research has shown that over­ heated drivers react slower in emergency sit­


uations; • Keep warm clothes and a shovel in your


boot in case you get stuck and have to dig


yourself out; • Make sure you carry a mobile phone; If your car has automatic transmission,


make sure you select the winter drive mode, as this will start the car in a higher gear and aid traction in slippery conditions, y 'j fx DIABETIC drivers who fail to con-


t^®Otrol their condition may be as big a V_y danger to other road users and pedes­


v 3 » :


trians as drunk drivers. Low blood sugar lev­ els cause similar symptoms to being drunk and a study of 2,000 crashes caused by driv­ ers collapsing at the wheel showed that 340 included diabetics. When blood sugars fall to a very low level,


the individual is unable to concentrate. Dia­ betic drivers are being urged to monitor their blood sugar levels before commencing driving but in reality this is a very impractical solu­ tion to the problem. Diabetic drivers have to be more responsible about their condition and take on board the fact that, unless they take more care, they could be responsible for killing innocent people as well as themselves.


let has developed apace over the last few years and the facelifted model with its single-frame grille and sculpted headlamps is challenging BMW’s 3 Series as the current drop top du jour. The addition of a slick 2.0-litre


O


TDI diesel engine makes the Audi both desirable and reasonably affordable. Of course, affordable is a distinctly relative term, and any car that commands an on-the-road price of around £26,500 is a serious finan­ cial undertaking, to most of us at least. Stack the Audi up against its peers from BMW and Mercedes and it looks reasonable value for money. There’s certainly little that can be said against that 2.0-litre power plant. If you’ve driven Audi TDI units


in the past and come away unim­ pressed by their lag and lunge power delivery, now’s the time to give them another go. With a far more progres­ sive power delivery than the old 1.9- litre units and excellent refinement, this engine generates 139 b.h.p. at 4,000 r.p.m. and a hefty 320Nm of torque from just 1,750 r.p.m. The net effect of these outputs is overtaking

ability from very low in the rev range, meaning you won’t have to downshift a gear or two to dispatch a middle lane dawdler. With a top speed of 131 m.p.h., the Audi will feel very relaxed cruising at typical British motorway speeds. Fuel con­ sumption is as good as you would expect from a modern pump-injector diesel engine, the Cabriolet turning in an average of 43.4 miles per gal­ lon. Emissions are similarly laudable at 176g/km and the car is also fitted as standard with a particulate filter.


One choice from the Audi options


list that may well appeal is the acoustic roof. W^ith thicker padding, it certainly cuts down on wind noise and I should wager that it’s warmer for those winter mornings when you’re urging the car’s heater to get its trousers on. The six-speed gearbox of the 2.0-


litre TDI is slick and wristy; a major improvement from some of the notchy Audi manuals of the past. It seems that Audi has been listening to customer feedback.


The universally hated overservoed


brakes have been ditched in favour of a more natural feeling setup.


Few cars come across as relentless­


ly polished as the Audi A4 Cabriolet, ( and the 2.0-litre TDI version looks to be the value pick of the entire range. It may lack the barnstorming performance of its 3.0-litre diesel sib­ ling but it’s still acceptably quick to step off the mark and the fuel econo­ my means you won’t be shy about using every one of those 139 powered horses.
