Metzger's volume discussed fewer
variants than Comfort, but his discussions are longer and provide more detail about why he chose the variant he did.
Not exact matches
• Body structure weight - optimised and crash - optimised; standard safety features including front and side airbags, side curtain airbags, 3 - point automatic seat belts on all seats, with belt tensioners and belt force limiters at front, ISOFIX children's seat mounting at rear, Run Flat Indicator and partially active engine compartment lid to optimise pedestrian protection; vehicle weight lower
than in predecessor models and competitors in the segment in virtually all
variants of the new MINI despite extended range of fittings; increased acoustic and vibrational
comfort: optimised aerodynamic properties as appropriate to each specific model including active cooling air flaps, underbody trim panel and air ducting elements in the upper section of the C columns; best aerodynamic figures within the competitive environment: Cd value reduced to 0.28 (MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper D).

All three 2010 Volvo S80
variants have a solid and confident handling character, although the emphasis leans more towards ride
comfort than sheer agility.
A combination of that
comfort - oriented outlook and the car's hefty curb weight (at 3,737 lbs, even the lightest RC
variant is almost 300 lbs heavier
than a like - for - like BMW 4 Series) means this Lexus doesn't like being hustled aggressively or driven hard at speed — chuck the Lexus into the bends, and you'll quickly discover the RC struggles with hiding its sheer bulk.
