Honda Fit goes big but in a smaller packageThe subcompact segment in Canada had been a bit stale, until this past year, when we witnessed a number of new entries into this segment.

A recent trip to Europe, as a guest of the Infi niti-Red Bull Racing team, rivalled any trip I have taken in recent years for fun and excitement.My fi rst encounter came when I attended the Monaco Grand Prix in 2013. I was lucky enough to be driven around the Paul Ricard Circuit, after the race, by now four-time world F1 cham-pion Sebastian Vettel. Few on the world’s racetracks rival the young German’s driving skills but it was his inter personnal skills that impressed me more. Earlier this year, we reunited behind the wheel of a Q50 at Mosport, in Ontario, for a track day, when he again attempted to grey what remains of my hair. Before we roared off at high speed, I told him

how his signed cap had raised a $150 for a teenager dying of can-cer. Th e sale had assisted in send-ing the kid and his family for a last vacation together before he died. He visibly gulped and expressed his pleasure at helping such a worthy cause. When he walked into the room in Spa, Belgium, the other week, he grinned, shook

my hand and reached for my new hat to signwhile others clamoured for his attention. It capped, you

might say, a great weekend, which began in Milton Keynes, home of the team’s factory. Th e behind-the-scenes tour took a small group of us around an extremely hi-tech produc-tion centre, employing more than 600 people. All dedicated to turning out two winning cars for two boy

racers – Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo! It was fascinating to see – as much as we were allowed – how great minds and skilled hands turn out a diff er-ent model every year virtually from scratch.Infi niti’s association is a very smart move for the up-market carmak-er. Th ere is much for the Hong Kong company to learn but its people have much to teach because of the parent company – Nissan – in-

volvement in hybrid and electric power-

plant technology. Th is year, F1 moved from V8s to turbo charged 1.6-litre

hybrid units.Driving the Q50 – designed to be a BMW 3 Series rival – was especially interesting given the road and weath-er conditions thrown at us. Th e least challenging portion was the time aboard the train beneath the English

Channel to France, as you will read!Th e weekend at the races was defi nitely the

ultimate F1 experience in terms of the race view and the ostentatious hospitality (visit the extended stories and picture galleries online at driveway-bc.ca).Auto West Infi niti is pleased to share this thrilling ride.

Milton Keynes, England: Th e security here seemingly rivals that of the most top-secret government institutions.“Without the proper fi nger you can’t get in,” says Red Bull’s Silvia Halfar, grin-ning while prod-ding the fi nger-print scanner. Th e door clicks open to the Infi niti-Red Bull Racing factory, where we would observe the hi-tech pro-duction tech-niques behind the success of four-time world F1 champion driver Sebastian Vettel and the four Construc-tors’ Championship titles earned by the team.Th e design genius is indisputably Adrian Newey. With ten Constructors’ Champi-onships under his belt, won with three diff erent teams – Williams F1, McLaren and now Infi niti-Red Bull – he has no rival.“Adrian draws up to 100 designs (car parts and components) a week and I mean draws, literally,” informs Silvia. His work is scanned and 3D print-ers generate models for testing.It’s not a one-man show: more than 600 people design, test, build and assemble the hundreds of thousands of parts required for the race cars driven by Vet-tel and Daniel Ricciardo. Every season, the 110-strong design team produces a new car, which conforms to the strict F1 regula-tions. A super computer tests every part virtually, before a new model hits the former Concorde jet wind tunnel in nearby Bedford. Its processing power is a closely guarded secret but it’s greater than 35,000 iPads combined.Diff erent parts are designed for ev-ery racetrack, sometimes within 24 hours of a race. Th e race simulator is out of bounds but we learn new part

profi les are fed in and tested virtually by the driv-ers on any of the F1 circuits programmed into the machine. It was likely overworked this year as the old V8 engines were replaced with turbo-pow-ered 1.6-litre V6 hybrid powerplants.

Th ere are no underground tunnels be-tween the four buildings so when a secret race-winning part is pro-duced what happens? Silvia laughs: “Well, then we put it on a tea trolley, cover it with a towel and wheel it across the road.”

Shortly before leaving, we visit the operations room, where live data is an-alyzed and information fed back to the racetrack. “After one race the winning team Tweeted a picture of their ops

room…we could see who was in the room and what programs they were running on their monitors.”With that, the exit door buzzed and the cool air rushed in to take our places.

Top Secret: Inside the Infi niti-Red Bull Racing factory

Race route not for the fast and furious…Milton Keynes, England: As we each climbed into a gleaming Infi niti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow.Th e tour of the Infi niti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. Th ere we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. Th e doom-sayer was right, try ten hours!

Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium – Champers is the breakfast of champions here at the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix.If $3,500 is burning a hole in your jeans, you can enjoy all the Formula One Paddock Club fi zz that

fl ows freely on qualifying day Saturday and race day Sunday.As a guest of Infi niti-Red Bull Racing, one feels duty bound to get value for the championship F1 team’s generous contribution to the Belgian coff ers. Judging by some race goers uneasy gait after the victory by Infi niti-Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo – not our crowd, of course – they were closer to their consumption targets.Th e Paddock Club off ers a magnifi cent view of the fast and the fashionable, perhaps the most cutting edge conspicuous among the latter category being my suit designer pal Duncan Quinn, from New York, in his red suit. It was so eye-catching that Sebastian Vettel remarked on its sharpness.While he drew the admiring looks of the Shell F1 gals, the rest of us made for the never-ending buff et. It featured such culinary delights as veal shank and rack of spring lamb, served with sweet corn terrine, sautéed summer

vegetables, oven roasted pumpkin and port wine

jus. Th e Chateau Villa Bel Air 2011

from Bordeaux was the perfect complement.Icy treats, desserts, anyone? – 1,000 calories a look. Time to take a pit stroll, access via the

‘Millionaires’ trailer park’, where owners wine and dine. On Saturday, the team’s garage boomed with music but now the crew was in serious race mode. Outside they practiced pit stop changes, as they do

daily at their Milton Keynes HQ. (Th ey hold the world record for a wheel change in 1.923 seconds!) Every one-hundredth of a second can mean the diff erence between a win and loss. Knowing they

were working so hard, I almost felt guilty tucking into the gratinated lobster, arugula and artichoke salad, while quaffi ng the Mumm’s champagne.

However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-fl ipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. Th e navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her.Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested.Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.Th e drive mode selector off ers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing

speed limits fl ashing above helped show off the predictive forward collision technology. If you trust the car ahead, the radar-controlled gizmo will govern your speed and braking automatically. You soon fi gure whether he’s trustworthy or not. In addition, lane control keeps you on the straight and narrow should you drift into that passing

car you were alerted to by another warning system. Th anks to the $320 fl exi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks.Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the

windshield wipers performed effi ciently in a downpour of Biblical proportions.

Along the way, refl ective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of

Agatha Christie’s fi ctional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the

super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the

route, including scenic diversions, in

a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying.

2014 Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Francorchamps

The Fast and the fashionable

“The four-time F1 champ infl uenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50

we drove to race weekend. “

“Along the way, refl ective signs urged us to visit

such historic locations as

Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels.”

“The Paddock Club offers a

magnifi cent view of the fast and the

fashionable.”

driveway

The 2014 Fiat 500C. This tester has a sticker price of $23,995.

Topless Fiat fl awed but that’s part of its charmby Alexandra Straub

The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in down-town traffic.

John Legend’s “All of Me” comes on the radio while behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfec-tions.”

Hmmmm.

As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pint-sized Fiat I’m captaining.

In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy but I can’t seem to dislike it.

One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it. No mellifluous ding-dong ding-done; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even passengers comment-ed on how annoying it is.

The volume buttons on the dash really should be knobs. You should be able to crank up The awesome Beats premium audio system in a hurry, not push by push. (It’s worth the ad-ditional $495 price tag.)

Visibility is mediocre at best, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up – top up or down – but thankfully there are backup sensors that help guide you into the spot you want to be in.

The trunk only hosts 269 L. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the bags and merely bringing a debit card with you on a road trip, fitting four people inside and their luggage will be a chal-lenge. On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away any precious space when open.

Then there’s the optional TomTom navigation that sits atop the dash and cuts into one’s forward visibility. An awkward spot for GPS system. Pairing a Bluetooth device isn’t that straight-forward either.

Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepow-er and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power,

pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The 5-speed manual trans-mission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace.

While its imperfections should cause me to think about ever wanting to drive or own one, I still can’t seem to stop loving this little car. I like its quirkiness and the fact that it’s not perfect.

I love the exterior colour: Espresso. It sparkles in the sun and has a warm rich-ness to it.

When matched with the two-toned leather-trimmed bucket seats, it looks styl-ish and chic.

Bringing the outside in, the espresso paint also colours to life the dash. Combined with ivory touches, it has an upscale ambiance.

The tester, being the Lounge trim of 500C, it has an MSRP of $23,995.

That comes with keyless entry, a chrome shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel (and the aforemen-tioned leather seating surfaces with heated front seats), 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, hill start assist and more.

When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still man-ages to turn on a dime when required.

Furthermore, if you want to shed some light on the cabin, there are three settings you can use at the push of a button. One is a sunroof-like option, the next goes about 2/3 of the way down, and the last is all the way down. Either way, you have options on how much Vitamin D you’d like to consume.
