This article compares the Mercedes-AMG A45 S and the BMW M2, two close rivals in the automotive industry. The BMW M development team has focused on Porsche rather than AMG to gain an upper hand. The M2 is wider and heavier than the A45 S, but lacks technical features. The M2 offers a strong performance but starts to lose its impressiveness at higher speeds. On the other hand, the A45 S lacks high-speed stability but excels in terms of engine delivery and handling. Both cars have their strengths and weaknesses, but the A45 S ultimately comes out on top in this matchup. [Extracted from the article]

SUITED & BOOTED: With Audi, BMW and Mercedes losing their lustre in the compact sports saloon market, Alfa and Jaguar are vying for top honours. And where you think the XE's AWD chassis allows an impressive level of adjustability, the lighter -- to the tune of 222kg -- Giulia is even more responsive to you trimming your line with throttle and steering. We pit Giulia Veloce against XE P300. [Extracted from the article]
ID.3 Pro S PRICE: £42,870 POWERTRAIN: 1x e-motor, 77kWh battery, 201bhp THE ID.3 we have here is in top-spec Pro S trim. Ownership ALONG with the technical improvements, VW has also treated the ID.3 to a minor cosmetic boost.

Tech highlights WHILE the A-Class has a platform that is only used by a small selection of Mercedes models, such as the B-Class and CLA, the DS 4 shares its EMP2 underpinnings with a wider pool of mainstream models.

"Knowing that the production cars were numbered from 101, that made this a pre-production car, and the second 1750SS" REV COLIN CORKE, Allegro owner "The biggest problem was BL's confusion about its own car. Having snapped up the Allegro, Colin and Nick embarked on a complete restoration over the next seven years, returning the car to standard. They didn't know how to market it, with its confused engine and trim levels" REV COLIN CORKE, Allegro owner Colin says: "It wasn't a brilliant design like the ADO16, but the press didn't hate it.

The two-seater Toyota has a higher starting price -- £53,495 to the M240i's £47,515 -- but that seems fitting for a toughlooking, focused sports car with an iconic badge that promises greater engagement and sharper dynamics. The M240i xDrive might have a slightly more powerful version of the lovely "B58" 3-litre turbocharged in-line six-cylinder engine that it shares with the revised Supra, but in every other department the Toyota holds all the aces. Understandable, as BMW's sports car has always shied away from being an actual sports car. [Extracted from the article]

PRICE: £41,805 ENGINE: 2.0-litre 4cyl, 187bhp THE Audi A5 has always majored on flawless build quality, great in-car tech and a relaxing driving experience. While that headline horsepower figure is some 19bhp down on the RC 300h's, the Audi is the lightest car here, and that plays a big part in its performance; at 7.1 seconds, the Audi boasts the quickest 0-62mph time of the bunch.
