Today's 3 Hatchbacks - More Bang For Your Buck.

By:

Today it appears that even the economy driver is much more discerning than ever before with regards to value for money.

We have decided to do a comparison test on three of the latest and fashionable of today's hatchbacks.

The three hatchbacks being studied today consists of the Vauxhall Corsa VXR, the Mini Cooper S and the Renault Clio 2L.

The initial perception with regards to the Vauxhall is that it is a much nicer car than previous versions.

Are there any other small cars around that can develop this much bhp (189 to be exact) from a turbocharged diesel 1.6 L engine. Is this the first Vauxhall actually to have the power to match the books?

It is a sign of the times and an indication of how important the market is that he competition however is quite serious.

The Clio develops 194bhp from a 2 L engine that takes a little to get it going but once you do, boy does it fly.

As opposed to the other two the Mini Cooper S. produces 173bhp from a 1.6 L turbocharged engine that is more than enough to get this machine moving.

From a drivers perspective the Mini has stunning performance and lightning reactions. With regards to the Renault, it does appear to perform better the faster you go. Finally the Vauxhall has loads of performance and handles extremely well.

On the inside the poor plastic facia of the Mini Cooper does tend to let itself down whereas in the Renault though the interior may be a quality it was difficult to get yourself comfortable. With regards to the Vauxhall the interior design was great but at the cost all of compromised visibility.

One of the definitive issues that we needed to take a look at what's how much value for money was there actually in any of these cars. With a very small depreciation and a strong second hand price the Mini was a definite attraction as far as second-hand owners were concerned. The Vauxhall would have performed better being the cheapest car to purchase and potentially being better equipped but this was marred by sharply increased quite steep running costs

All three cars represent quite good value for money with possibly the Mini Cooper S edging it overall. The overall handling speed and performance of the Mini makes it very popular despite the fact that the interior plastics look cheap and the rear seats are tiny and the boot is negligible. One of the additional factors is that most of the extras for the Mini are quite expensive.

Set against the mini you look at the Vauxhall and think that this is a good all rounder of a car. The performance is excellent and the handling superb has an excellent interior. The downside is the fact that the visibility is compromised another negative factor is that it does not appear to have as many safety features as the other two.

Lastly the Renault comes in third which is a shame as the handling of the grip of the co-op is amazing, the engine performance and power of the car is quite outstanding once it's going. It is solidly built but you really have to work the car and engine hard to get the best out of it.
