  | Autobild: Ten cars in the handling comparison  The questions to answer are ten completely different cars: the tiny Daihatsu Copen with 87 HP for 17.200 euro and the fat Mercedes SLK55 with 360 HP for 65.830 euro. The extreme sportsman Caterham 7 R300 and mass production Golf GTI. The good Seat Ibiza Cupra Diesel and the high speed Porsche Cayman S. The peaceful MX-5 and the wild Subaru Impreza WRX STi. The inconspicuous BMW 130i and the aufgebrezelte mini Cooper S with John Cooper Works kits. All ten had to complete bang-hard five meaningful test disciplines: Handling course drying, handling course waters, slalom, Sprint of zero on 100 and brakes from speed 100 up to the conditions. Who makes real thereby at most fun, the conclusion valuation betrays. Oh, NDW singer Markus drove privately a Vespa. And does not go now at all. Here the Ranking "handling wet".  Here the Ranking "handling dry".  Here the Ranking "slalom".  Here the Ranking "braketest 100-0km/h".  Here the Ranking "0-100km/h".  FACIT

| Re: Autobild: Ten cars in the handling comparison I have to agree with BMWFREAK, this is an unsusal comparo. I also agree with The Artist about the SLK55. It did well but could have been ahead in some catagories considering.

Watch the conclusion, ranked after SLK55. 130i did well despite not being a M. Although, I wished they had either the Z4M Roadster/Coupe in this test instead. This was my favorite. I was hoping for this car to win

| Re: Autobild: Ten cars in the handling comparison Yeah, I was surprised the Copen didn't come dead last! It actually managed to avoid embarrassing itself completely, beating a few respectable cars in the slalom.. or is it that those cars did particularly bad? I guess it's mustn't be as bad as the looks suggest. Maybe its light weight does a lot for it in some regards. |

| Re: Autobild: Ten cars in the handling comparison I love the Daihatsu Copen. Such a cute little car. Just by looking at it, you can tell it is heaps of fun. It doesn't need a powerful engine to be fun. I am sure the little turbo 3-cylinder has a wonderful personality which adds to the driving pleasure. Best of all, the Copen is now available in LHD!

| Re: Autobild: Ten cars in the handling comparison Don't know how I missed this one, but yes this is an odd, but sort of charming test. The smaller cars are adorable. M
