"From the very first metre travelled the A110S wraps you tightly in a warm, Gallic embrace, involving you, goading the driver to push a bit harder, to experiment with the car’s weight balance and the cornering line.

The harder you drive the A110S, the more it seems to like it, and the engine plays its part too, spinning with much more enthusiasm to the red line. 

None can offer the sublime driving experience of the A110S."

"The chassis is just as impulsive as the engine, reacting instantly like an archetypal mid-engined car; it changes direction so effortlessly it’s clear the majority of its weight is nestled well within its wheelbase. 

Its mid-engined chassis is both blessed with sublime balance and a very chatty nature. It’s a car that rewards and engages like few others, capable of challenging the 911 as a true sports car."

"A Proper M car with agile handline and driver engagement. 

The chassis, grip, engine, diff and steering all add up to create such an intuitive driving experience.

The engine now sounds as good as it goes, while the extra precision in the chassis allows you to better exploit the M2’s natural balance.

The M2 is a throwback to a golden age of small, rear-wheel-drive performance models from Munich."
