FORD MUSTANG FROM THE

FILM ‘BULLITT’

Gavin’s right foot is still planted firmly in the 1980s and 1990s, as he fuels his rather unhealthy obsession with old motors. Commonly he is found tapping away furiously at a keyboard, or hurtling up the A303 from Devon to attend a car event. He is said to be fond of tea and Hobnobs.

He’s written about old cars and new cars and has thumbed through more company car benefit-in-kind tax tables than most sane people ever will.

THE FILM ‘GHOSTBUSTERS’

Motoring journalism was the unexpected outcome of a decade spent in a variety of rally cars, in both the left- and right-hand seats. Peter maintains that this arduous habit still enables him to see both sides of a motoring argument, be it about a race car or electric shopping motor.

Country dweller Richard got hooked on cars at the 1982 NEC motor show, aged 11. However, he didn’t start driving until he was 13, when he began tearing up the fields around a nearby farm, in his school friend’s beaten-up Audi. Now, 33 years on, he has a less tatty Audi of his own.

The run-up to the Geneva motor show

is always a bumper month, with

all of the major car manufacturers

giving glimpses of their latest hot new metal.

And so our news pages are bulging with

photographs of the newest designs vying

for attention, and set to be unleashed onto

the Swiss catwalk. And while it’s great news

for newshounds, eager to gen up on the

latest models, it often means that there are

few actual surprises on the stands of the

car makers at the Geneva expo. As always,

the Diesel Car team will be pounding the

halls at the Swiss show, bringing you all the

latest economy focused news and gossip on

everything diesel, electric, hybrid and sub-

100g/km petrol.

In actual fact, for Diesel Car readers it

means there’s a double whammy, as we go

to print just a few days before the Swiss

show opens. You can read about the hot

metal as the show goes on, and then soak up

a full motor show report in the next issue,

that is assuming that our feet do actually

fully recover. In the meantime, you can

always keep abreast of the latest news on our

website at www.dieselcarmagazine.co.uk, on

RETURN OF THE TUCSON

Ahead of being unveiled at the Geneva

motor show, Hyundai took the wraps

off its next generation medium SUV,

the Tucson, at an exclusive event in Berlin,

and Diesel Car was there at the unveiling.

If you think that the Tucson name sounds

familiar, you would be right, as before

Hyundai’s current C-segment SUV, the ix35

was launched, its predecessor wore the same

name plate. And while European markets

switched over to the ix35 badge, countries like

South Korea and the United States retained the

Tucson moniker.

The newcomer arrives as Hyundai celebrates

the sale of one-million SUV models in Europe,

ever since the first Santa Fe arrived back in

2001. Of that total, more than 116,600 have

been sold in the UK. Last year, the ix35 was

the second best-selling Hyundai, behind the

i10 city car, with 16,890 shifted by its dealers,

a 26 per cent increase on 2013s sales figures.

So it’s an important car for the Korean brand,

with all examples of the new Tucson to be

built at the company’s European production

facility in Nošovice, Czech Republic.

Three diesel engines will be on offer – a

114bhp 1.7-litre CRDi engine, along with a

pair of 2.0-litre CRDi units producing either

134bhp and 181bhp. All come equipped

with a six-speed manual gearbox, with the

latter two on offer with a six-speed automatic

transmission, too, while all of the powerplants

meet the latest Euro 6 emissions regulations.

The new Tucson boldly adopts Hyundai’s

new signature hexagon front grille, which

dominates the front end, tieing in with a

pair of large headlights, and a front bumper

that incorporates both fog and LED daytime

running lights. Along the side, chunky grey

mouldings give the Tucson a lower, more

grounded appearance, while at the rear, there

are similarly shaped tail lights to those found

on the latest i20. Overall, the design is more

muscular, better resolved and importantly

looks and feels more premium. On the inside,

the cabin has been transformed with the

inclusion of the latest soft-touch high quality

mouldings, while the optional deep red leather

gives a more sumptuous and distinctive

appearance. Boot space at 513 litres, while

generous, isn’t quite as sizeable as the

outgoing ix35, which boasted 591 litres with

the seats in the upright position, though still

comfortably improves upon the amount of

luggage room provided by rivals like the Ford

Kuga and Volkswagen Tiguan.

More technology is packed in than ever

before, with an electric tailgate, automated

parking and autonomous emergency

braking available for the first time. The latest

generation satellite navigation system is three

times faster than ever before, and safety

equipment like the lane keeping assistant,

rear traffic cross alert, traffic sign recognition

and blind spot detection all make their debut

on the latest Tucson, while the provision

of a deployable bonnet gives some extra

protection in the event of a collision with a

cyclist or pedestrian.

The latest Tucson makes its debut at the

Geneva motor show before arriving in UK

showrooms in September. While it’s too early

to talk prices and definitive specifications, it is

expected that the line-up will follow a similar

path to the recently launched i10, i20 and i30

by offering a choice of S, SE, SE Nav, Premium

and Premium SE trim levels.

The design of the latest Skoda Superb

was hinted at by the VisionC concept

car at last year’s Geneva motor show,

and a year on, the exhibition is playing host

to the unveiling of the production version

of the third generation Superb. With more

than 700,000 first- and second-generation

examples on the roads around the world,

there’s a lot at stake, but Skoda management

is confident that the latest car achieves a new

level of quality, elegance and sophistication.

And while the second generation car

was no doubt a great car, with an immense

amount of space inside, from some angles

it wasn’t particularly good looking. That’s

a thing of the past with the new model,

which looks sharp and elegant no matter

where you are standing. The tradition of

offering extra space compared to its rivals

continues, as does the clever ideas that set

Skoda apart. In all, there are 29 different

features that make life easier for the driver

and passenger, with 10 solutions totally new

for the brand. ‘Simply clever’ features include

a tablet holder in the front armrest, USB and

230-volt sockets in the back, and cupholders

that allow you to open 500ml bottles single-

handedly, and whereas the outgoing Superb

featured an umbrella in the left hand rear

door, the new car has an umbrella fitted in

each of the front doors, so both driver and

passenger can benefit from being shielded

from the rain.

The previous car had a complex ‘twindoor’

arrangement at the rear, with the boot lid

able to be opened as a saloon or hatchback,

however, the new car sticks solely with a

hatchback arrangement, reducing complexity.

And like its predecessor, it trumps every

single rival in terms of boot space, with 625

litres available for luggage with the rear

seats in place, which is a useful 30 litres

more than the outgoing car. The wheelbase

has been increased by 80 millimetres, which

means there’s extra legroom for rear seat

passengers, as well as additional head and

elbow space.

The company has delved into the

Volkswagen parts bin when it comes to

technology, with this becoming the first

Skoda model to feature adaptive suspension,

named dynamic chassis control in this

case. There’s the option of an electric rear

tailgate, and the boot can be opened by way

of a foot gesture under the rear bumper,

allowing access to the luggage space when

your hands are full. There’s an automated

self-parking system, too, as well as the

option of a reversing camera. The traditional

hand brake has been replaced by an electric

park brake in the latest car, as well as

auxiliary heating, a wireless heated front

windscreen and heated seats for when the

colder months are at their most ferocious.

On the safety front, there’s seven airbags,

and the option of adaptive cruise control, a

pre-crash system, lane assist, an autonomous

emergency braking system, driver drowsiness

detection and blind spot recognition.

All of the engines in the new Superb

line-up meet the latest Euro 6 emissions

standards and come fitted with stop-start

and brake energy recovery technology

as standard. All units are available with

both manual and twin-clutch automatic

transmissions, and there’s the option of

four-wheel-drive featuring a fifth-generation

Haldex clutch system. The entry-level 1.6-

litre TDI unit develops 118bhp, with a pair

of 2.0-litre TDI engines developing 148 and

188bhp. The most frugal engine in the range

wears the GreenLine nameplate and emits

just 95g/km of CO2, while being capable of

achieving 76.3mpg on the combined cycle.

The efficiency gains have been possible

thanks to a 75kg reduction in weight,

together with better aerodynamics.

The latest Superb is set to arrive in UK

showrooms in September, and so it is

still too early to predict prices and final

specifications. These are expected to be

revealed after the Geneva motor show, while

an estate version of the Superb will arrive at

dealers during October.

THE FUTURE OF DS

Gone are any signs of the Citroën double chevrons…

Remember the DS arm of Citroën

– the one that introduced us to

the distinctive shark fin pillar and

floating roof of the DS 3? Well, now it has

taken the bold step to go it alone, and

separate from its sister firm, Citroën.

And as the first model was unveiled in

Paris last month, it has become clear that

DS bosses have a host of premium car

manufacturers in their sights. Gone are

any signs of the Citroën double chevrons,

and instead the new DS 5 boasts a striking

front end guaranteed to stand out from the

crowd. There’s a new sculpted and upright

interwoven grille, with the DS logo sitting

proudly in the centre, with further badging

on the bonnet, wheel hubs, along the door

sills and throughout the car. Other stand-

out features include full-LED headlights,

sequential sweeping indicators and what

designers describe as ‘the DS Wings’ which

is a nod to the historical DS models dating

back to 1955.

The interior is suitably refined, and

the introduction of a state-of-the-art

touchscreen has meant a reduction of 12

buttons to click, resulting in a clutter-

free, yet feature-rich cabin with a range

of different connectivity

capabilities. Built in

Sochaux, France, the

DS 5 is kitted out with

the finest leathers and

materials to create a

premium quality vehicle

that DS executives hope

will appeal to buyers that

would normally choose

a premium marque, like

Audi or Land Rover.

The seats, for example,

feature attractive watch-

strap design patterns and

even offer a massaging function for the

ultimate in refinement.

It would seem the future has been clearly

mapped out as Arnaud Ribault, Global Sales

and Marketing Director for DS, explained:

“DS is a car that is designed for people who

want the finer things in life, and we aim

to attract a new generation of premium

customers. It’s not every day that a new

brand is launched, but the DS approach is

very different. We have the 1955 heritage,

Citroën’s quality and now the DS brand.

It’s an evolution, but still the creation of

something very new and unique.”

He went on to say that “we tried to

create a line of cars within Citroën,

but this caused a problem, as there

are limitations when working within

another brand.”

The new DS 5 arrives in UK

showrooms in July, with buyers

able to choose from a selection of

BlueHDi engines, all meeting the

latest Euro 6 emissions regulations.

A single 1.6-litre BlueHDi 120

model kicks off the range, along

with a pair of 2.0-litre BlueHDi 150

and BlueHDi 180 models. CO2 emissions

will range from 100 to 110g/km, with a

four-wheel-drive diesel-hybrid edition also

forming part of the line-up. Prices are set

to be announced after the Geneva motor

show, but Mr Ribault indicated that the cost

will be similar to the current line-up, which

would suggest a price range of between

£23,500 and £34,000. And although we

haven’t driven the car yet, Alain Joseph,

Product Planning Manager, said: “DS 5 is a

blueprint of what’s to come. The new shock

absorbers enhance comfort, while noise

levels have been filtered. It’s still extremely

dynamic, but more reassuring and more

comfortable at lower speeds.”

DS aims to have six models on sale by

2020 and according to Mr Ribault, SUV

models are very likely to be included

within the mix. And judging by the recent

announcement that a new B-segment DS

model will be built at its Poissy Plant,

alongside the DS 3, speculation is rife that

it will be a new compact crossover vehicle

to compete against the next Nissan Juke

and Renault Captur.

SECOND GENERATION TOURAN UNVEILEDBy the time the first examples of the

new Touran arrive in UK showrooms

in November, it will be a little over 12

years since the Touran name plate first burst

onto the scene. This time around, the multi-

purpose vehicle makes use of the modular

transverse matrix, more commonly referred

to as the MQB platform that means that this

car shares common architecture and engines

with a wide range of other Volkswagen Group

products, including the Golf and Passat.

The new Touran will be offered in the UK

with a choice of five- or seven-seats this time

around, and grows by 130 millimetres in

length. Much of this extra length has been

added to the wheelbase, which increases by

113 millimetres, delivering extra space for

passengers, as well as a bigger boot. It’s

wider than before, too, with a roofline that

is marginally lower than before. Volkswagen

designers have taken a fresh look at all

aspects of the car’s versatility, and a new

lighter weight, fold-flat seating system has

been created, where the third and second

row of seats fold down easily to create a

level platform. The second row of seats, with

three individual chairs, can be slid forward

and aft to balance between extra legroom or

carrying capacity and the rake of the seat back

adjusted for greater comfort. In the third row

of seating, there’s an extra 54 millimetres

of space for legs, and 13 millimetres more

headroom, and access has been optimised

compared to the outgoing car, with an easy-

entry function that slides the seat forward

in front, for easier access. Storage has

been enhanced, too, with up to 47 different

compartments dotted around

the cabin.

Under the bonnet are

the latest generation TDI

engines, with a choice of an

entry-level 108bhp 1.6-litre

TDI unit, or a pair of 2.0-

litre TDI units developing

148 and 188bhp. The latter

unit is paired exclusively to

a six-speed twin-clutch DSG

automatic transmission, with

the other two units offered

with a choice of manual or

automatic gearboxes. In the Touran’s most

frugal form, in 1.6-litre TDI DSG automatic

guise, 68.9mpg is quoted as the official

combined fuel economy figure, with is 7.5mpg

more fuel efficient than the outgoing model.

Thanks to new weight saving techniques, the

new Touran is up to 62 kilograms lighter than

its predecessor.

A range of new technology has been

incorporated into the Touran for the first time,

including autonomous emergency braking,

adaptive cruise control, a pre-crash occupant

protection system, traffic jam assist and

trailer assist, as well as a range of other safety

devices. LED headlights replace the bi-Xenon

units that the previous generation Touran

had, and there’s the option of an electric rear

tailgate for the first time. The conventional

hand brake lever is abandoned in favour of

an electric item, and there’s the option of

selectable driving modes for the first time.

Connectivity of smartphones is given a high

priority, with the availability of Apple CarPlay,

Android Auto and MirrorLink for the first time,

all operated via the infotainment system with

either five- or eight-inch touchscreen displays.

The all-new Touran makes its debut at the

Geneva motor show, before arriving in UK

showrooms in November. As well as offering

the choice of five- or seven-seats, sporty R-Line

editions are being offered for the first time, a

sign that this MPV is a whole lot more dynamic

in both appearance and driving experience

compared to its predecessor.

208 REVISEDFOR 2015

The revised 208 line-up signals a new range of Euro 6 compliant 1.6-litre BlueHDi engines, in 74, 98 and 118bhp power outputs.

Remarkably, by the time the updated

208 supermini goes on sale in the UK

in June, it will be three years since the

original car arrived in dealer showrooms, and

Peugeot is marking the occasion by releasing

a series of subtle styling changes, new more

frugal Euro 6 engines and a greater range of

personalisation options. At the same time,

sporty GT Line editions join the line-up, giving

buyers the opportunity to buy a car that shares

the looks of the flagship GTi, paired with an

engine range that is more affordable.

The majority of the changes are centred

around the front bumper, which features a

wider grille, while the headlights now combine

LED daytime running lights with black and

chrome detailing on Active models and above.

At the rear, the light clusters have been

redesigned to incorporate the company’s

trademark claw-like motif, and there’s a fresh

range of alloy wheel options to choose from.

On the inside, there’s a better quality steering

wheel on Active models and above, and the

soft-touch central strip has been revised so

that it is more sumptuous on the plusher

versions. New for the touchscreen is what

Peugeot calls ‘MirrorScreen’ which replicates

the display from the driver’s smartphone.

Two other additional pieces of technology

that are available in the 208 for the first time

include autonomous emergency braking and a

reversing camera.

The revised 208 line-up signals a new range

of Euro 6 compliant 1.6-litre BlueHDi engines,

in 74, 98 and 118bhp

power outputs. The first

two engines are paired

to a five-speed manual

gearbox and are capable

of a remarkable 94.1mpg

and CO2 emissions of just

79g/km, while the 118bhp

edition emits 94g/km and

is mated to a six-speed

manual transmission.

New GT Line models

adopt features from the

well-respected 208 GTi, but

are paired to more affordable BlueHDi engines

with 98 and 118bhp power outputs. There’s

17-inch alloy wheels, a gloss black grille with

red three-dimensional markings, front fog

light surrounds and door mirror shells in

black, as well as a chrome window surround

and exhaust finisher. Inside, there’s black and

red sports seats with red stitching, which is

duplicated on the gear lever gaiter, handbrake

grip and door panels. The flat-bottomed

steering wheel continues the theme with red

stitching, and the black seat belts have a

red stripe running through them. The sporty

appearance is completed by aluminium sports

pedals and door sill finishers.

The revised range is set to arrive in Peugeot

showrooms in June, with prices and final

specifications to be announced after the car is

revealed at the Geneva motor show.

W ith the Range Rover Evoque

having passed its third birthday,

it’s facelift time for the upmarket

SUV, with tweaks to the exterior and cabin,

and a fresh range of engines. The headline

figure for the most frugal edition is now

109g/km of CO2 and a claimed 67.3mpg on

the combined cycle.

Styling changes include a new front

bumper that incorporates a larger air intake,

full-LED headlights with a new frontal

light signature, a revised rear spoiler and

a selection of new choices of alloy wheel.

Two new grille designs are differentiated

by two horizontal bars and a fine mesh

on the standard model, whereas Dynamic

versions incorporate a hexagonal design,

with a more prominent mesh pattern. On

HSE Dynamic and Autobiography models,

distinctive bonnet vents that were previously

reserved for coupé models are fitted for

the first time. Inside, there’s a redesigned

instrument binnacle, a brand new InControl

Touch infotainment system and eight-inch

touchscreen, as well as new seats and door

casings, and a selection of different colours

and materials compared to before.

But the biggest change is focused upon

the engine, where the Evoque gains the

latest Ingenium engines already announced

for the Jaguar XE. The new all-aluminium

2.0-litre four-cylinder powerplants are

between 20 and 30 kilograms lighter

than its predecessor, and have

been designed to produce low

levels of noise and vibration.

Two power outputs are available, 148bhp

and 188bhp, with the former 18 per cent

more efficient than its predecessor. In eD4

two-wheel-drive Coupé guise, the Evoque

is capable of emitting 109g/km of CO2,

with fuel economy figures of 67.3mpg,

while the more powerful 188bhp unit

achieves 125g/km and 58.9mpg. Selective

catalyst reduction is fitted as standard, in

combination with low-pressure exhaust

gas recirculation to reduce the amount

of NOx emissions. Service intervals have

been extended, too, with all editions now

capable of travelling 21,000 miles between

maintenance visits. The low emissions

versions of the Evoque now wear a blue

Evoque badge and are designated as

‘E-capability’ variants,

highlighting that they are

the most efficient Land

Rover has ever made.

DAB digital radio is

standard across the entire

line-up, and for the first

time, there’s the option of a

hands-free tailgate function,

whereby the boot can be

opened by waving a foot

beneath the rear bumper.

All-terrain progress control,

as seen on the Range Rover and Range

Rover Sport, makes its first experience on

the baby Evoque, which can maintain a

pre-determined speed over tricky ground,

relieving stress, and allowing the driver to

concentrate on steering over the difficult

terrain. Driver drowsiness detection, a

lane keeping assistant and autonomous

emergency braking are all available, too.

Prices and final specifications will be

revealed at the beginning of April, with

the line-up revised to fall in line with the

Range Rover Sport. SE, HSE Dynamic and

Autobiography versions will replace the

previous line-up when the first 2016 model

year Evoques arrive in UK Land Rover

showrooms in August.

But the biggest change is focused upon the engine, where the Evoque gains the latest Ingenium engines already announced for the Jaguar XE.

PASSATALLTRACK DEBUTS

Volkswagen has revealed the latest Alltrack edition of its

Passat Estate. On sale later this year, the more rugged all-

wheel-drive wagon utilises the latest 2.0-litre engines in

148bhp, 188bhp and 237bhp twin-turbocharged guises. Chunky

body addenda are the main enhancements, along with standard-

fit electronic differential lock and 4Motion four-wheel-drive.

ENHANCEDBERLINGO REVEALED

A lightly facelifted edition of the Berlingo Multispace has

been revealed, ahead of its arrival in UK showrooms in July.

There’s a new front bumper with repositioned LED daytime

running lights, as well as a new grille, while at the rear, there’s a

fresh design for the tail lights.

As well as the introduction of a new range of Euro 6 compliant

BlueHDi engines in 74, 98 and 118 power outputs, with CO2

emissions as low as 109g/km, a whole host of new technology is

introduced for the first time, including autonomous emergency

braking, front parking sensors and a reversing camera. A seven-inch

touchscreen arrives from November 2015 production, including

Mirror Screen which replicates the driver’s smartphone display on

the infotainment system.

INFINITISHOWS UPMARKET JUKE RIVAL

A few days in advance of the Geneva motor show, Infiniti

revealed the first photograph of its new compact

crossover concept, the QX30. The upmarket crossover

sits three centimetres taller than the previously revealed Q30

concept, and features 21-inch alloy wheels and large profile

tyres. The bold curves give a muscular look, and aside from

some show car extravagances, the car you see before you should

reach production in a relatively similar format next year.

SWAY POINTS TO

NEXT MICRA

W ith the huge success of both the Qashqai and Juke in

Nissan’s armoury, the firm has turned to think about

what a small hatchback would look like if similar

principles were applied. The result is this new concept car called

Sway, which is revealed in full at the Geneva motor show.

AND IN OTHER NON-DIESEL NEWS …A Spider version of the ALFA ROMEO 4C

made its debut at the Geneva motor show.

Priced at £59,500, the 237bhp sports car

arrives in the UK in the summer.

Just 24 examples of this track-only ASTON MARTIN Vulcan will be produced. The 7.0-

the first time at the Geneva motor show.

A new FORD Focus RS made its debut at

Geneva, powered by a 2.3-litre EcoBoost

engine producing more than 316bhp.

Production begins in Germany later this year.

STUNNING SPORTSPACE PREVIEWS NEW OPTIMA

K ia has taken the wraps off its

new Sportspace concept which is

said to give a strong indication of

the look of the next generation Optima.

The sexy-looking five-door estate is the

eleventh concept car to be designed at Kia’s

Frankfurt design studio, this time under

the direction of Gregory Guillaume, the

company’s European chief designer, who

said "we set out to design a car that is a

totally new breed of grand tourer – one for

active people who need reasonable cargo

space on the weekend, but don't want

to compromise moving around in style,

comfort and with an element of sportiness."

Although billed as a concept for now, it’s

no secret that Kia has been wanting to build

an estate version of the Optima to increase

sales of is D-segment car, so a toned down

production version could well be a distinct

possibility. A case of watch this space!

At 6.5 metres long, the MERCEDES-MAYBACH Pullman is the new flagship of the

range. It has been revealed to coincide with the

50th birthday of the famous 600 Pullman.

VAUXHALL has revealed its latest Corsa VXR,

packing 202bhp and 207lb ft of torque. An

optional performance package includes a limited

slip differential and uprated Brembo brakes.

FABIA MONTE CARLO MAKES ITS SHOW DEBUTAnother car making its motor show

debut at Geneva is the Skoda Fabia

Monte Carlo, a sporty edition of the

recently launched compact hatchback and

estate. Key attributes of the new car include

black alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, a

tinted panoramic roof and the option of

lowered sports suspension. Inside there’s

a three-spoke sports steering wheel, black

interior and sports seats. The Monte Carlo

editions of the Fabia go on sale in the UK

in the summer, with a choice of 1.4-litre

TDI engines, and the option of five-door

hatchback or estate bodystyles.

AURIS AND AVENSIS GAIN FRESH NEW LOOK

The British-built Auris and Avensis

have been given a fresh look by

Toyota’s designers, with both of its

medium and large cars gaining a refreshed

exterior design, new diesel engines, and

enhancements to their cabins. The changes

were revealed on the run up to the Geneva

motor show, and are set to arrive in UK

showrooms over the coming months.

The Avensis, in particular, has been

designed by Toyota’s ED2 design studio in

the South of France, and engineered by the

company’s research and engineering centre

in Brussels. As before, the Avensis will be

offered with a choice of four-door saloon

and Tourer estate bodystyles.

Following the renewal of the Aygo and

Yaris small cars last year, these revisions

to the Auris and Avensis complete the total

refreshing of the company’s mainstream

model range. The Auris hatchback and

Touring Sports wagon will continue to be

offered with petrol, diesel and petrol-hybrid

powertrains – the latter of which accounts for

around half of all Auris sales in Europe.

SNEAK PEEK AT SUZUKI’S GENEVA CONCEPTS

Just as we went to press, Suzuki

gave us a glimpse into the future,

with a pair of photographs showing

its concept cars bound for Geneva. The

iM-4 is a mini 4x4, and the iK-2 shows off

the company’s ideas for a new compact

car. Little is known about either model,

with full details set to be revealed at the

Swiss show.

2 SERIES GRAN TOURER HAS SPACE FOR SEVEN

Following the launch of BMW’s first

front-wheel-drive and multi-purpose

vehicle last year, the German

company is further expanding the line-up

with a new seven-seat edition wearing the

2 Series Gran Tourer nameplate. The new

car has a wheelbase that is longer by 11

centimetres, which helps to accommodate

the extra third row of seats. Not only is it

longer, but it is also taller than its sister

car, allowing the rearmost occupants to

sit upright, with excellent all-round vision.

The middle row of seats not only slide

forward and aft, but also can be reclined

for a more relaxing seating position. Load

space in five-seat mode has improved to

560 litres, while folding the second and

third row of chairs down flat opens the

space up to 1,820 litres, with the ability to

carry long loads of up to 2.6 metres.

Like its five-seat sister car, the 2 Series

Active Tourer, the seven-seat version

comes powered by a selection of three-

and four-cylinder engines wearing the 216d,

218d and 220d xDrive monikers. First

up is the 114bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder

216d model, packing 199lb ft of torque,

followed by a 148bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder

unit developing 243lb ft of punch, with

the 218d badge on its rump. The flagship

diesel in the line-up, the 220d xDrive,

comes fitted with standard four-wheel-

drive, and develops 188bhp and 295lb ft

of torque and is paired exclusively to an

eight-speed automatic transmission. Prices

start at £25,110 for the 216d SE, with the

220d xDrive SE costing £32,005. In addition

to entry-level SE versions, there’s also

the option of Sport, Luxury and M Sport

equipment levels.

W ith the only exterior change made to the rear tail lights,

which gains a new lighting signature thanks to the

inclusion of LED technology, buyers will need to step

inside and start the engine to appreciate the improvements made

to the Volkswagen Sharan. All of the new engines meet the latest

Euro 6 emissions regulations and are available in a choice of 114,

148 and 181bhp power outputs. In the outgoing model, the middle

and higher output engines produced 138 and 174bhp, respectively,

so there’s some useful enhancements to the performance. As

before, both high power engines are offered with a six-speed dual-

clutch DSG automatic transmission, as well as a six-speed manual

gearbox. Technology enhancements include the introduction

of Volkswagen’s second-generation infotainment system, which

integrates MirrorLink, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so that

users can make better use of their smartphones. There’s a

selection of upgraded materials for the cabin, as well as an uprated

instrument cluster. Finally, automatic post-collision braking is

included as standard for the first time, and autonomous emergency

braking, a lane-keeping assistant, adaptive cruise control,

blind spot monitors and an automated parking system that can

automatically exit from a space as well as park in it, are available as

optional extras. The revised Sharan will be available to order later

this year, with the first cars arriving in showrooms in October.

Not only has Kia has added some visual drama to its cee’d

diesel hatchback and Sportswagon, with the introduction

of new GT Line editions, but has also added a new

seven-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission into the bargain,

the first time the brand has offered such a gearbox. Designed

in-house at the company’s Namyang research and development

centre in South Korea, the transmission is paired exclusively to

an uprated 131bhp 1.6-litre CRDi engine, producing 210lb ft

of torque. Although CO2 emissions and fuel economy figures

have yet to be revealed, Kia says that it is expects to be much

more efficient than the torque-converter equipped six-speed

automatic transmission that it replaces. The new cee’d GT Line

will be available in the UK in the autumn, and comes equipped

with more dynamic looking sports bumpers, dual exhausts at the

rear and a subtle diffuser. LED rear light clusters, 17-inch alloy

wheels and side sill extensions complete the exterior upgrades.

Inside, there’s sporty grey, white and black upholstery with grey

stitching, a piano black leather steering wheel, aluminium pedals

and a smattering of GT Line badging. There’s also an aluminium

ignition button, illumination for the USB and auxiliary sockets

and chrome trim around the air vents and electric window

switches. It’s still too early to predict pricing, with the final

specifications set to be announced on the run up to the car’s

autumn launch.

announced, to accelerate research into

automotive-grade carbon fibre for use in

future products.

The roll-out of new showroom branding

has begun by HYUNDAI, with 14 of its

dealers already adopting the plush new

look. It is expected that the transformation

will be complete by the end of 2017.

The INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED MOTORISTS (IAM) has revealed that the

two worst cases of excessive speeding

caught on safety cameras were both in

Kent on the M25, travelling at 146mph.

ORIO UK, the sole distributor of SAAB original parts in the UK, has given FIX AUTO UK approved status as an official

bodyshop crash repairer, with 74 outlets

spread across the country.

More than 1,000 workers will be

recruited by RENAULT this year, with

half set to be employed in the company’s

factories, and the other 50 per cent to

work within engineering.

ROLLS-ROYCE has confirmed that the

company is developing a new four-wheel-

drive, high-bodied car, with an all-new

aluminium architecture, at its facility in

Goodwood, West Sussex.

Due to the success of the new Fabia and

Rapid Spaceback, SKODA has added a

third shift at its Mladá Boleslav plant,

more than 800 new jobs.

SKODA is celebrating its 17 millionth

THIS MONTH

A month in the world of motoring

13TH FEBRUARY 2015It’s been some time since I last

spent time in a Peugeot 208, and I

had forgotten what a pleasant little

supermini it is. The reason for my

re-acquaintance was the introduction

of the new BlueHDi 120 engine, which

is the first diesel powerplant to meet

the latest Euro 6 emissions regulations

in the French-built supermini. Packing

118bhp and 210lb ft of torque, it’s

a right pocket rocket, and actually

feels a whole lot more rapid than the

on-paper figures suggest. A top speed

of 118mph and acceleration to 62mph

in 9.4 seconds doesn’t actually sound

that fast, but from behind the go-kart-

like small steering wheel, it’s more than

fast enough. And when you factor in

the fact that it boasts CO2 emissions

of just 94g/km and a claimed fuel

economy figure of 78.5mpg on the

combined cycle, it’s actually quite kind

to the pocket, as well as tugging at the

heart strings.

Our five-door flagship Feline-

specification test car is a bit of a rarity

these days, as few car makers actually

make a hotter diesel supermini with

five-doors. Check out the data pages

for the Fiesta, Corsa, Polo and Clio, and

you’ll not see a single diesel edition

that even breaches the 100bhp barrier.

Of course in the past there was the

well-respected Skoda Fabia vRS 1.9

TDI, but remarkably that has been out

of production for almost eight years,

without a replacement in sight. The

same fate has befallen the 141bhp SEAT

Ibiza FR 2.0 TDI, which has been quietly

dropped by its Spanish makers, and this

just leaves MINI to fly the flag for hot

five-door superminis, with the 168bhp

Cooper SD appealing to enthusiasts that

have a penchant for performance.

15TH FEBRUARY 2015A quick dash across to The Midlands

and back turned into a mammouth

seven-hour journey, thanks to a

combination of torrential rain and the

fact that other motorists had gone

banger racing on the M25, rendering it

closed at Potters Bar. A bright idea to

re-route onto the North Circular Road

wasn’t so great when everyone else

had the same idea, resulting in 20-odd

miles of mainly stop-start driving. It

wasn’t until we navigated around the

Hanger Lane gyratory that the open

road beckoned. By now it was dark, and

the rainfall was relentless. But what

could have been a really unpleasant

journey actually turned into a pleasure

as the baby Peugeot 208 cut through

the puddles and downpours without any

sign of aquaplaning or buffeting that a

The cover of the April 1996 issue of Diesel Car proudly

introduced a pair of brilliant newcomers – the Peugeot

406 and Volkswagen Polo – both of which gained gongs

in the magazine’s annual car of the year awards. There

were some tough class winners, notably the Volvo 850

TDI, Ford Galaxy and Vauxhall Frontera, but in the end,

the winner of the small family category took the overall

prize, the Rover 220 SDi. Our testers commended the baby Rover by

saying “the dynamics are as pleasing the style”. Elsewhere, there were tests of the Nissan

Patrol GR, which was marked down for being ‘too big, clumsy and thirsty’. Toyota’s first-

ever turbodiesel car, the Carina E, was put through its paces, with editor John Kerswill

declaring it “not outstanding in either performance or refinement” and “rather like a sort

of oriental Passat – spacious, functional, sensible, but a bit lacking in style or flair.”

Its surefootedness really impressed me,

you would expect from a hefty SUV.

And despite the type of motoring that

isn’t particularly eco-friendly – stop-

start, nose-to-tail and with a foot-to-

the-floor driving style when the traffic

allowed – it delivered a remarkable fuel

economy figure that was in the mid-to-

high 60s.

There’s a good start to 2015, with another increase in car sales compared to the

year before, the 35th time that this has happened in a row. This time the figures are up by 6.7 per cent to 164,856 units, which is actually the best January result since 2007. There’s particular strength in the company car market, and also alternative fuel vehicles, which are up 60 per cent compared to the same month last year. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV continues to dominate this market, with 815 examples registered in January. The best-selling hybrid was the Toyota Auris, at 707 registrations, while the biggest selling all-electric car was predictably the Nissan Leaf, shifting 319 examples.

Crossovers continue to dominate the diesel segment in January, with the Nissan Qashqai the best-selling diesel car, with the Range Rover Evoque in at number seven, and the Ford Kuga at number eight. In the premium segment, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class was the highest selling upmarket diesel, followed by the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Interestingly, the latter two both outsell the Vauxhall Astra in diesel guise. Ford’s Fiesta continues its winning streak, grabbing the overall top spot, with the Vauxhall Corsa snapping at its heels at number two. Fascinatingly, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class was the biggest selling large car, outselling the Vauxhall Insignia by more than 500 units.

WHAT'SNEWWHAT'SNEWROMEORevisions to the MiTo line-up

for 2015 means that the Sprint

model has been discontinued

and new Progression and

Junior editions have been

added to the range, with each

powered by the same 83bhp

1.3-litre JTDM-2 engine. The

new Progression edition lowers

the entry point into MiTo

diesel ownership, with prices

starting at £14,315. Standard

equipment includes 15-inch

alloy wheels, Bluetooth mobile

phone connectivity, a five-inch

touchscreen infotainment system,

seven airbags, a rear spoiler and

titanium grey headlights and rear

list with the addition of white

17-inch alloy wheels, special

Junior upholstery and floor

mats, as well as a flat-bottomed

steering wheel with contrasting

stitching. There’s also white

door mirror covers, a distinctive

‘Junior’ rear decal and satin-effect

door handles, headlight and tail

light surrounds. The Junior 1.3

JTDM-2 is priced at £15,415 and

both new models are available to

order now.

ALFA DSA range of

DSport BlueHDi 180 automatic.

All of the diesel editions feature

fuel-saving stop-start technology

with CO2 emissions as low as

103g/km on BlueHDi 120 and

the latest CR-V SUV arriving

in UK showrooms about

now, Honda has announced

up, with prices starting at

2WD model – an increase of

£340 compared to the outgoing

model. As before, there’s a

choice of S, SE, SR and EX

equipment levels, and the option

of two- and four-wheel-drive. The

118bhp 1.6-litre i-DTEC engine is

reserved for the front-wheel-drive

editions, while the new 158bhp

twin-turbocharged powerplant

is paired exclusively to all-

wheel-drive, and offered with

a choice of six-speed manual

or a nine-speed automatic

transmission. Satellite navigation

is standard equipment on SR

and EX versions, and optional at

extra cost on S and SE editions.

The most expensive version in

the 13 model line-up is the EX

1.6 i-DTEC automatic which is

priced at £34,120. All models

include alloy wheels, dual-

zone climate control, hill-start

assist and cruise control, with

SE models adding a leather

steering wheel and gear knob,

front fog lights, power folding

mirrors, front and rear parking

sensors and reversing camera,

auto-dimming rear view mirror

and automatic headlights and

wipers. SR models feature a half

leather and Alcantara interior,

heated front seats, an updated

audio system with subwoofer,

satellite navigation, privacy glass,

bi-Xenon headlights and 18-inch

alloy wheels, as well as automatic

high beam, headlight washers

and colour coded roof rails. The

flagship EX versions also include

leather upholstery, an electric

tailgate, panoramic glass roof,

keyless entry and start and an

electric driver’s seat with memory

functionality. An optional Honda

Sensing pack costs £900 and

adds intelligent adaptive cruise

control, a lane keeping assistant,

traffic sign recognition, a lane

departure warning system and

blind spot recognition as well as

autonomous emergency braking.

HYUNDAIFollowing the launch of the

i20 five-door hatchback earlier

this year, Hyundai has now

announced prices for

the three-door coupé

editions that go on

sale on 26th March

2015. Available with

just a single 89bhp

1.4-litre CRDi engine,

the new coupé editions

are offered with a

choice of three trim

levels – SE, Sport and Sport

Nav – with prices starting at

£14,725 and rising to £16,400.

Standard equipment on all

versions includes 16-inch alloy

wheels, a leather steering

wheel and gear knob, air

conditioning, cruise control,

Bluetooth mobile phone

connectivity, front fog lights

and rear parking sensors. Sport

versions add larger 17-inch

alloy wheels, rear privacy

glass, power folding mirrors,

climate control, automatic

wipers and headlights and

an auto-dimming rear view

mirror, while the flagship Sport

Nav editions include seven-

inch touchscreen satellite

navigation, DAB digital radio

and a reversing camera. The

three new diesel models all

feature the same 1.4-litre CRDi

engine, emit CO2 emissions of

106g/km and have a claimed

economy figure of 68.9mpg on

the combined cycle.

1ST TEST

The original XC90 was a hugely

important car for Volvo, establishing

them in the large SUV market with

a product that was good looking, versatile

and safe. After 12 years, it also proved

something of a cash generator, enabling

the Swedish manufacturer to invest in its

replacement, Volvo’s first in-house car

since Ford sold the company to Chinese

firm Geely in 2010. Sitting on top of

Volvo’s new scalable chassis, and put

together at a cost of $11 billion, the new

model improves on every area with only

one single component making the transfer

across – that’s the optional built-in child

seat. Everything else is new, making it

stiffer, stronger, more spacious and more

driveable. It remains identifiably an XC90

though, while the seven-seats remain as

standard on UK models.

The new chassis, along with optional

air suspension fitted to the launch

model, make sure that the XC90 is an

exceptionally competent car on the road.

The ride quality is sublime, isolating you

from the rougher parts of the road with

a degree of finesse rarely seen, even

on cars with six-figure price

tags. But ride quality isn’t

at the expense of handling

ability, though, with the two-

tonne XC90 able to be hauled

round bends with confidence.

There’s a fair amount of body

roll when pressing on, but at

slower speeds it’s light and

surprisingly agile, making it as

easy to drive through a busy

city as it is on the open road.

Adjustable suspension, steering

and throttle settings enable you to pin

down your preferred set-up, although none

could be considered sporty despite the

221bhp produced by the 2.0-litre four-

cylinder D5 engine. Hushed and refined,

you’ll barely notice the engine until the

throttle is pressed hard. A growl is audible

as it powers you to 62mph in 7.8 seconds,

although it never feels quick thanks to

that isolation. The eight-speed automatic

gearbox is suitably smooth, most of the

time, although does let the side down

when under pressure, leaving changes

slightly too late and momentarily spoiling

the tranquil atmosphere in the cabin.

The cabin itself is a pretty special place

to be, with three years of work ensuring

it is just right. Soft flowing lines with

stitched leather and light wood detailing

looks suitably Swedish, and there’s a sense

of quality throughout the whole interior.

Nowhere will you find cheap plastics,

even low down by the floor, while every

The cabin itself is a pretty special place to be, with three years of work ensuring it is just right.

touch point has had special attention

paid to it. The dominant feature of the

dashboard, a centrally positioned seven-

inch touchscreen, works effectively. As

well as detecting touch, there are banks of

infra-red sensors that pick up where you’re

pressing before you contact the screen,

making it feel not only incredibly quick

and snappy, but with the happy side effect

that it’s useable while wearing gloves.

Clear graphics make it easy to use, while

a single swipe to either side will bring

up seldom-used, but important controls.

Only the clunky movement of the climate

controls on the screen detracts, but for

every driver that changes settings on every

journey, there’ll be another that just sets

it to a single temperature and then never

touches it again.

In the middle row, the three seats will

accommodate adults with ease, with

another two jump seats behind that.

They’re positioned slightly inwards to

allow a good view for their occupants and

they’re even big enough to take adults.

Each row also has its own air vents, and all

of the chairs fold down with a single pull

of a lever, providing a completely flat load

bay. With all seven seats in place the boot

is useable, with more than enough capacity

for a weekly shop, a couple of sets

of golf clubs or some weekend bags.

The ability to lower the rear of the

car by five centimetres is also pretty

handy, making loading heavy or

awkward items a little bit easier.

It’s all indicative of a car that has had a

huge amount of thought put in to it, from

practical touches that make life easier,

to design details that leave you smiling

(there’s a spider hidden in one cubby

hole). Quite simply, this new XC90 is a

triumph for Volvo.

The line-up has been streamlined

down to just three variants – entry-level

Momentum, sporty R-Design and flagship

Inscription. There’s just one diesel engine

available, a 221bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder

unit, developing 347lb ft of torque. For

hi-tech economy lovers, there’s also a T8

badged plug-in hybrid that packs 315bhp

Citroën C4

There’s been a lot of activity at French

car maker Citroën over the past year,

not least launching the new C4 Cactus,

the new C1 city car and expanding the range

of C4 Picassos to include a seven-seat edition.

Now it’s time to spruce up other models in

the line-up, like this C4 hatchback, including

the launch of brand new Euro 6 compliant

BlueHDi engines. You’ll need to be eagle-

eyed to notice the changes to the front of the

Focus-sized hatchback, though there are new

headlights and daytime running lights. It’s at

the back that there’s a more dramatic change,

with new 3D-effect light clusters that serve to

widen the stance of the revised car. Inside,

there’s a new seven-inch touchscreen that

comes as standard on top-spec Flair models,

and the option of a new 17-inch alloy wheel

design, though we would stick to the standard

16-inch items for a more comfortable ride.

All of the diesel engines emit less than

100g/km of CO2 in the revised line-up, with

the option of a 98bhp 1.6-litre BlueHDi unit,

with or without stop-start technology, and

a more powerful 118bhp edition as tested

here. A flagship 148bhp 2.0-litre BlueHDi

engine is also offered in top-spec Flair guise.

Our test car made decent progress through a

mix of hill routes and cityscapes. It’s a quiet

unit, even when you’re in a press-on kind of

mood, with plenty of mid-range torque and a

flexible nature. The six-speed manual

gearbox has a creamy action, with third

gear delivering excellent pace. The

stop-start system operates efficiently,

cutting power as you come to a halt and

restarting effortlessly without any sign

of vibration. The brakes are progressive

and deliver decent bite, and the steering

is light, if left a little bit wanting in the feel

department, though the driver always has a

good idea of what the front wheels are up to.

There’s some lean through sharper bends, but

overall body control is neatly balanced, and

grip levels appreciably high. Wind noise is kept

well in check and ride comfort is softly sprung,

making it a decent companion on a long

distance journey. But beware, if you opt for

the larger wheels that are an optional extra, be

prepared for a deterioration in ride quality.

Apart from the new

touchscreen on upmarket Flair

models, there haven’t been any

changes made to the cabin, and

that’s just fine, because the C4

is actually quite a nice place to

spend time. The mouldings are

mainly of the soft-touch variety

and all of the controls are neatly

laid out, up high, for ease of use.

The clarity of the instruments is

pretty good and the colour of the

back lighting can be altered to suit different

tastes. A large central cubby hole ahead of the

lever provides plenty of room for oddments,

along with generously sized door pockets,

though the glovebox is next to useless due to

intrusion from the fuse box – even the car’s

handbook doesn’t fit inside. For front seat

occupants, there’s plenty of head and elbow

room, and while the legroom is a decent size

in the back, taller passengers may wish for

more headroom. With 408 litres of boot space

on offer, it’s one of the roomiest loadbays

in the class, and you can extend that even

further to 1,183 litres by tumbling the rear

seats down.

Audi TT Roadster

Cutting the roof off a car can introduce

all sorts of unwanted traits, from

scuttle shake and vague steering,

through to a loss of boot space and water

ingress. For their latest topless TT, Audi

couldn’t let that happen, so have strengthened

key elements of the chassis, windscreen and

sills. Their promise is that the Roadster is

every bit as agile and refined as the coupé

which at its launch last year, got rave reviews.

Unfortunately, our test of the Roadster was

carried out in horrendous conditions, with

torrential rain turning the twisty roads slick,

highlighting a flaw; releasing all 280 lb ft at

once meant the limited traction offered by

the front wheels struggled to keep everything

under control. Instead it was a case of waiting

for the electronics to overcome the wheel spin

as you slipped across the road surface, before

being catapulted towards the next corner.

Thanks to that huge wave of torque that

arrives at 1,750rpm, it was difficult to drive

smoothly in the conditions, but strong brakes,

quick and weighty steering that gets more

direct as speeds increase, and crisp action

from the manual gearbox still made it plenty

of fun to hustle around the twisty bits. The

all-wheel-drive quattro that arrives later can’t

come soon enough.

Good ride quality and compact dimensions

make it as easy to drive as a Golf in everyday

conditions, while clever sound piping

from the engine bay to the cabin

adds some surprisingly effective aural

stimulation when you want to enjoy

things a little more. The dreadful

weather allowed us to thoroughly test

the Roadster’s key feature – the fabric

roof. There’s no folding metal roof, like

in its biggest rival, the Mercedes-Benz

SLK, in the interests of keeping weight down

and minimising any packaging issues, so

you’re left with a triple-layer covering and a

pair of motors weighing just 39kg in total. The

roof operates with a quick press of a button

near the electronic handbrake, getting the job

done in just 10 seconds. An optional open-top

driving pack includes head-level heating, an

electrically operated wind deflector and heated

sports seats, making life more comfortable.

That said, once the roof is closed, you would

be hard pushed to tell the difference between

the soft-top and the coupé, such is the level

of isolation on offer. That allows you to

pay more attention to the glorious interior.

Ahead sits a ‘virtual cockpit’ that eschews the

traditional dials for a 12.3-inch screen that

brings every piece of information in to the

driver’s eye line. As the satellite navigation,

audio system and vehicle information is

moved up front, the centre stack is left nearly

empty, while the climate controls have been

shifted to the centre of the circular air vents.

The combination of high-tech wizardry and

eminently sensible repositioning of controls

leaves behind a beautifully uncluttered and

minimalist design with top class fit and finish.

Every improvement, in terms of design,

build, handling and economy means that the

new TT Roadster is everything the Coupé

is, but with the additional joy of roof-down

motoring. It’s easy to live with, better to drive

and cheaper to run than its rivals and, on those

days the sun doesn’t shine, you’ll have simply

the best driving environment this side of an

Italian supercar to enjoy.

Audi A1

Anyone that can spot a facelifted Audi

A1 in the street deserves a medal, as

the changes are subtle at best. Only

the geekiest amongst us, or perhaps Audi

enthusiasts, will be able to pick out all of the

changes. Redesigned bumpers mean that the

A1 is 19 millimetres longer than before, and

a flatter, wider front grille is a touch more

prominent this time around. Revisions to the

headlights and tail lights give a freshened

appearance, and the rear diffuser is both lower

and wider. Small touches indeed, while on the

inside, there’s a smattering of extra chrome

and piano black detailing to lift the calibre of

the cabin even further. Sport models, as tested

here, gain a choice of different driving modes

for the first time, and the steering is now

electromechanical and more energy efficient,

with its electric motor mounted on the steering

wheel. But the most significant change for

diesel fans is the introduction of a more

powerful 114bhp 1.6-litre TDI engine that can

be paired to a five-speed manual gearbox,

or for the first time a seven-speed S tronic

twin-clutch automatic transmission, as tested

here. And unlike many self-shifting gearboxes,

there’s only a very small penalty at the fuel

pumps for choosing the auto ‘box – just

4.4mpg and 5g/km of CO2, which in regular

everyday motoring, you’ll hardly notice.

The combination of a super-slick, quick-

shifting twin-clutch automatic transmission

and the new more powerful engine is

a delight, with almost imperceptible

changes and strong, eager performance,

particularly in the mid-range. It’s like

a mini pocket rocket, thanks to alert,

precise steering and taut body control,

as well as strong brakes with good bite.

Through fast bends, there’s loads of

grip, and the overall feeling is of a planted,

surefooted little car. Despite revisions to the

suspension to improve ride comfort, it’s still

too firm, particularly at lower speeds, crashing

into bumps and transmitting far too much of

the poor surfaces into the cabin. At motorway

speeds, however, the A1 is transformed, where

it delivers a calm and comfortable ride.

There was little wrong with the cabin of the

A1 before, and thankfully the designers have

taken an ‘if it ain’t broke’ approach to this

facelift. The fascia is attractively designed,

made from plush feeling materials, with the

turbine-like air vents a particular highlight.

All of the controls are logically arranged for

clarity, and the infotainment screen is nicely

placed so you don’t have to take your eyes

off the road for very long. The seats are

nicely stuffed, delivering great lateral support,

keeping you firmly in place when cornering.

The view through the back window is restricted

by the tiny rear view mirror, though the vision

all around the rest of the car is pretty good

thanks to relatively deep side windows. The

door pockets may be a little on the small side,

but thanks to a large bin in front of the gear

lever and a reasonably sized glovebox, there’s

plenty of space for oddments. Up front, there’s

a generous amount of head and legroom,

but in the back the space is merely average

and comparable to its class competitors. Boot

space is par for the course at 270 litres, and

thanks to a wide opening and an underfloor

storage area, it’s easily accessible. Folding the

rear chairs down opens it up further, with 920

litres of available space.

Suzuki Vitara

Chunky-looking cars with a mildly

rugged style and elevated seating

position really seem to hit the spot

with a growing band of drivers. Sales of

compact crossover SUVs have been on the

rise, and are now forecast to more than

double across Europe over the next five

years. So Suzuki is right on trend with the

arrival of its new Vitara, pitched against rivals

such as the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur and

Vauxhall Mokka. Cheekily, the new Vitara

has a clamshell bonnet with echoes of Range

Rover Evoque styling. There the similarity

ends, and the Suzuki crossover may have

grander pretentions, but it is clearly in a

lower league on both price and quality. It is

available in both front-wheel-drive and with

Allgrip four-wheel-drive. It is the former that

will be the big seller: only around a quarter

of Vitara sales in the UK are expected to the

Allgrip models, but all of the launch cars were

equipped with it.

The diesel model, mooted for 25 per cent

of UK cars, has a 1.6-litre Fiat engine under

the bonnet, with a 118bhp power output.

Although the car is quite light, performance

is pretty average, with a fairly leisurely 12.4

seconds acceleration time. But it feels quite

perky through the gears and is pleasant to

drive, with tidy manners and reasonable

steering feel. The ride and handling

balance is well sorted for a car of this

type, quite short-bodied and relatively

tall. You do notice a bit of body lean on

the tighter bends, but the Vitara tucks

in nicely with assured handling, and

the ride quality is quite impressive. On

some rather poor surfaces on rural back roads

the suspension set-up and damping did a

decent job of keeping any unpleasantness out

of the cabin.

Cabin quality is a bit of a let-down.

Everything is very plasticky and all the

surfaces are hard, giving the interior a rather

cut-price ambiance. There are nice touches

though, with the option for the external

body colour to be carried across to the

dashboard and around the air vents, and a

cute little clock that can be specified in any

of three designs, including one with arty

Japanese numerals. Interior space feels pretty

reasonable for the overall body length, and

back seat passengers have adequate legroom

with a six-footer sitting in front. The boot,

at 375 litres, is narrowly one of the largest

amongst rival cars, and it comes with a

horizontal luggage board that gives a flat-load

floor with concealed space underneath.

All versions of the Vitara diesel come

with 17-inch alloy wheels, seven airbags, a

rear parking camera, cruise control, electric

windows all round and rear privacy glass, as

well as climate control, LED daytime running

lights, satellite navigation and USB and mobile

phone connectivity. SZ5 editions also include

autonomous emergency braking, keyless entry

and start, front and rear parking sensors,

adaptive cruise control, suede upholstery and

automatic wipers and headlights.

The new Vitara’s chunky, slightly funky

look and mostly friendly driving manners

make it an interesting addition to the compact

crossover scene. It seems fairly priced and

Suzuki is perking it up with some interesting

two-tone colour options. Used car values are

independently predicted at over 40 per cent

after three years. It should do well.

Mazda6

W ith the Mazda6 only having been

on sale for two years, you wouldn’t

think it was time for a change. But

with the Japanese firm paying close attention

to critique from reviewers and listening to

feedback from its owners, Mazda’s largest

saloon and Tourer has come in for some

attention. While all models get a revised, better

quality interior, it’s only the top-spec Sport Nav

models that gain any exterior changes, with a

redesigned front grille, new alloy wheels and

reprofiled rear light clusters. All editions gain

extra soundproofing to reduce road noise, and

interior quality has been nudged a little higher,

gaining revisions to the dashboard design,

an improved seven-inch infotainment screen

and an electric park brake for the first time.

All of these enhancements are quite small in

isolation, but designed to keep the Mazda6 in

contention while capable cars like the latest

Ford Mondeo and VW Passat are launched.

What hasn’t changed is the hugely

charismatic 2.2-litre diesel engine, which

continues in 148 and 173bhp guises. Our

test car featured the more powerful unit

of the two, with a creamy manual gearbox

and six nicely chosen ratios, which combine

to deliver excellent pace and sizeable mid-

range pull. There’s an intoxicating sound

when you bury the accelerator pedal in the

footwell, and progressive brakes that

deliver good stopping power to bring

you to a rest. It’s a great companion

for a cross-country gallop, where agile,

precise steering pairs with great body

control and high levels of grip to deliver

an entertaining drive. It’s equally at

home on the motorway, where engine noise is

appreciably low, and both wind and road noise

are well contained, and while the suspension

has a firm edge to it, you’ll only notice the

deepest ruts and potholes, and on faster

A-roads, it remains controlled and supple.

There wasn’t a lot wrong with the outgoing

Mazda6 for the way that the cabin was

styled, but the latest improvements shift the

quality up a notch compared to before. It’s

disappointing that the tablet-style infotainment

screen doesn’t feature touchscreen

functionality, but its graphics are

clear and easy to understand, and

all controlled by an intuitive dial

placed between the front seats.

There’s a nice action to all of the

buttons, and the controls are

logically arranged relatively high

up on the dashboard for ease of

use. Most of the materials are of

the latest soft-touch variety, and

the revisions to the instruments

retain superb clarity. There’s

plenty of room for oddments, with a good

selection of different storage areas dotted

around the cabin, and the front seats are nicely

supportive with plenty of adjustment possible

to both the chairs and the steering wheel.

Unusually this saloon edition features an

eight centimetre longer wheelbase compared

to the Tourer, endowing our test car with an

extremely generous amount of rear legroom.

Up front there’s lots of headroom, too, and

there won’t be many complaints in the back,

either. Boot space is well up to class standards,

with a wide, well-proportioned 489 litres of

luggage room on offer, which is extendable by

folding the rear seats down.

Audi Q3

The old phrase “time goes fast when

you’re having a good time” must apply

to cars, too, as it doesn’t seem like

three and a half years since the Q3 first went

on sale. In car terms, that’s quite old, and

so here we are looking at the first examples

of the facelifted baby SUV, hitting UK shores

now. And while many of Audi’s mid-life

updates tend to be subtle, this revised Q3 is

instantly recognisable thanks to the redesigned

grille which extends outwards at the top to

encompass the new LED headlights on the S

line model tested. The front bumper has been

reprofiled, too, to give a bolder, more dramatic

look. At the rear there’s redesigned tail lights

with LED technology for the first time, and this

edition has a natty scrolling effect that sweeps

in the direction that the driver intends to move.

There’s a new range of alloy wheels, and for

the first time, owners can choose a selection

of different modes to suit their driving style.

All of the diesel engines are more powerful

than before, with the entry-level 2.0-litre TDI

unit now boasting 148bhp – up from 138bhp

– and the more powerful engine now produces

181bhp, up 6bhp. Both units now meet the

latest Euro 6 emissions requirements and in

the case of our test car, emits 15g/km less

CO2 and is 4.4mpg more efficient. There is a

downside, however, and that’s the fact that

the price tag has been inflated by £1,135,

compared to the outgoing car.

Standard quattro all-wheel-drive

equips the Q3 with a hefty dose of grip,

feeling surefooted through the bends.

The precise, responsive steering gives

a feeling of agility, and thanks to well

controlled body lean, there’s a healthy

dose of fun to be had. The combination

of 20-inch alloy wheels and the firmly sprung S

line suspension isn’t a happy marriage, feeling

too bouncy at low speeds, while crashing in

and out of every rough surface and pothole.

Things get calmer at a faster pace, but we can’t

help feel that smaller wheels may improve the

ride comfort greatly. Opting for the automatic

transmission over the comparable six-speed

manual car actually results in an efficiency

saving, with 2g/km lopped off the CO2 and

0.9mpg better fuel economy figures, not to

mention a more relaxing driving style. The

gearbox swaps cogs efficiently, and the

181bhp 2.0-litre TDI delivers excellent

performance with a hefty dose of mid-

range grunt.

The cabin of the Q3 is as good as it

has always been, with a simple, easy-to-

understand layout, and attractive design.

The chunky S line-badged steering wheel

is a delight to hold, and items like the

ventilation controls have a lovely sense of

durability about them, clicking nicely as

they alter the temperature. The instruments

are a model of clarity, and the positioning

of the infotainment screen is exactly where

you want it, within your field of vision, with

clear, colourful, easy to read graphics. With

such thoughtful design going on elsewhere,

we wonder why Audi designers chose such a

small lozenge-shaped rear view mirror, which

hinders rearward vision. The space inside the

Q3 belies its compact footprint, with plenty of

head and legroom both front and back. Boot

space is usefully more than you’ll find in a mid-

sized family hatchback, with 420 litres of space

on tap, and this can be opened out further by

folding the rear chairs down.

L arge family cars are not the driving force they once were.

In the 1970s, the Ford Cortina was Britain’s biggest

selling car. But by 1985 its successor, the Ford Sierra,

had slipped down to fifth place. When the first generation Ford

Mondeo arrived in 1992, it climbed back to second place, but

the downsizing trend has seen it slide steadily down the best-

sellers chart, and since 2007 it has been out of the top ten as

smaller hatchbacks have become dominant. Now there is a new

Mondeo, just launched. But it has been a long time coming, and

already on sale in the US for more than two years. So it is older,

but has arrived onto the UK market at the same time as the new

generation Volkswagen Passat.

dRIVINg EXpERIENcE

Ford Mondeo Volkswagen PassatHHHHH HHHHH

BIG ISBEauTIFuL

From the first few moments behind the wheel, the Mondeo

instantly pleases. It feels like one of those cars that flatters you

as a driver, with its meaty dynamics, strong grip and poised

handling. The previous Mondeo was the obvious class-leader

for driving dynamics, and this one doesn’t have quite the same

pert precision, but remains out in front in this pairing. The ride

and handling balance is commendable, with great body control

and excellent behaviour through the bends, but with good bump

absorption over a variety of mixed surfaces. It’s half a second

behind the Passat on a sprint past 62mph, but has better mid-

range punch. Creamy gear changes make driving a winding

B-road a joy, and the smooth progression of the brakes is quick

to bring you to a stop.

The Passat is also an enjoyable drive, but just not quite as

engaging. Here is a rapid, efficient mile-munching machine that

does everything with precision and finesse, but just doesn’t make

you feel quite as good about it. With identical engine power, the

lighter-bodied Passat is just a touch quicker in its get-up-and-go

and has a very slightly higher top speed. This car feels almost too

civilised for its own good, with a driving experience that is highly

polished, but doesn’t quite put a smile on your face. It does have

good steering feel and a very well sorted ride. Show it a twisty

country road, and the big VW makes light work of the bends, but

feels more in its element as a motorway grand tourer.

It has been a long time coming, but the new Ford Mondeo is finally here and ready to do battle with the latest Volkswagen Passat. It’s a big boys’ fight,

and there’s only one winner …

Both cabins are classy, but Ford scores a few more brownie

points for its flair and functionality. The instruments are great

for clarity and easier to read in low light, the air vents are well

placed and the infotainment screen is larger. Ford’s Sync2 system

is very intuitive to use and enhances the cabin experience.

Hallelujah for the standard-fit heated windscreen that clears the

glass quickly in winter. It’s a real boon, and is an optional extra

on the VW. The Mondeo’s seats are excellent for comfort and

have a figure hugging shape that gives better lateral support on

the bends. The steering wheel is a little bigger, and has better

functionality. Overall the interior of the Mondeo has a slightly

more contemporary ambiance, with smooth flowing surfaces that

make it seem more up-market.

In the Passat, those long air vents stretching right across the

top of the dash seem like a good idea, but they dictate a rather

horizontal design to the fascia. It sets a tone that is rather

more conservative than its rival’s fluidity of style, A sportily

flat-bottomed steering wheel grabs a bit of extra space for the

driver’s legs, but that apart, the rest of the cabin ambiance is

solidly high class, but a bit duller in design. Everything is more

subdued, and has a bit less pizzazz than its rival’s. The cloth-clad

seats are cushioningly comfortable, and the prominent analogue

clock is constantly there for a quick glance, and a welcome

feature that is disappointingly absent in many cars.

Ford Mondeo Volkswagen PassatHHHH HHHHH

At almost 4.9 metres long, the Mondeo is the slightly bigger car

of the two, and this is reflected in a cabin that feels spacious

and has generous stretching room all round. The big advantage

that the Ford enjoys over its VW rival is having a hatchback body

within a basically similar rear silhouette. So the car looks just

as stylish as the Passat, but is a lot more versatile. The boot

aperture is much larger, and even though the Mondeo’s boot is

the smaller of the two, it is more accessible. With the rear seats

folded, there is a big difference between them, with a 285 litres

advantage in cargo space for the Mondeo. That’s a worthwhile

difference when you want to carry lots of kit.

The Passat certainly isn’t short of space inside, but when

you jump in and out of both cars, this one doesn’t seem quite

as roomy in the back. Some company car drivers prefer the

traditional style of a saloon, but it isn’t as practical when you

need to load stuff into it, and have to duck past the somewhat

more restrictive bootlid. Nor does it afford any type of protection,

as a tailgate does, for loading the car in the rain. The Passat’s

What’s Hot Great to drive with communicative steering and reassuringly planted feel. Excellent body control and a well-judged ride which makes it the driver’s car of the pairing. Engine is quiet and refined. Smooth, six-speed manual gearbox. Aston Martin-esque looks are sensational. Engine complies with the Euro 6 emissions standards, and is quiet, punchy and refined. Sync2 infotainment system is a piece of cake to use and nicely placed. Considerably cheaper than the Passat to buy, with early estimations that it will hold its value better. Standard heated front windscreen is a joy in the winter months. Inflatable rear seat belts available as an option – a pioneering system to keep rear seat passengers safe. Spare saver spare wheel provided as standard. Acres of space and a more versatile boot thanks to the hatchback bodystyle.

What’s Not Not as eco-friendly as the Passat, unless you shell out an extra £250 for the ECOnetic edition. Parking sensors and autonomous emergency braking are an optional extra. More expensive to insure. The rear seats don’t fold down totally flat.

boot is actually the larger of the two by 45 litres, but it doesn’t

only two seats usable is noticeably less.

We would have liked to have tested the ECOnetic version of the

Mondeo, but this wasn’t available, and so our test car has CO2

emissions of 115g/km and fuel economy of 64.2mpg, rather

than 107g/km and 68.9mpg in the more eco-friendly edition.

Even so, both Mondeo models are eclipsed by this Passat, which

boasts 106g/km of CO2 and 70.6mpg on the combined cycle. For

the private buyer, it will mean that the Mondeo we test here will

cost £30 a year for the road tax, while the Passat is just £20 per

annum, with both cars road tax free in the first year. Business

users, on the other hand, would be better choosing the Passat (or

the Mondeo 2.0 TDCi ECOnetic) which fall into the 17 per cent

tiering, while the standard Mondeo 2.0 TDCi tested is in the 19

per cent bracket.

And the Passat remains ahead when it comes to insurance, with

the Ford in group 23, and the Volkswagen streets ahead in group

19. Both cars boast a warranty that covers the car for three years

or 60,000 miles, and maintenance is required every 18,000 miles

for the Mondeo and on a variable schedule on the Passat, with

the car automatically sensing and calculating how often it needs

a visit to the dealer, but usually around the 12,000 to 16,000

mile mark, or every year, depending upon which comes first.

Even though we test the Mondeo in flagship Titanium guise and

the Passat in mid-range SE Business trim, surprisingly it is the

Passat that comes out more expensive with a list price of £25,135,

compared to just £23,595 for the Ford. That £1,540 price different

could be narrowed by choosing the more frugal ECOnetic edition

of the Mondeo, to bring the fuel economy figures to a similar

level, but even so, the blue-oval badged Ford would still cost

£23,745, leaving a difference of £1,390. Examining the lengthy

list of standard equipment, they both come well kitted out with

seven airbags, driver drowsiness detection, DAB digital radio,

be commended for coming with a space saver spare wheel as

standard, though the Passat goes one step further with self-sealing

tyres. There are some differences in the equipment levels, however,

with the Volkswagen featuring autonomous emergency braking and

adaptive cruise control as standard – both optional on the Ford.

Hill start assist and rear privacy glass is fitted, too, and there’s

a choice of different driving modes to select from. The Mondeo

counters with the dual-zone climate control, whereas the Passat

features on-off air conditioning, and there’s the exceptionally handy

heated front windscreen that is part of the Ford’s standard kit, but

costs an extra £150 on the Volkswagen. The Mondeo also boasts

automatic high beam for the headlights, a lane keeping aid and a

large eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, compared to just

6.5-inches on the Passat. One of the biggest disappointments on

the Ford, though, is that parking sensors come as an optional extra

at a hefty £450. For a car this large and at the top-of-the-range, it

should be standard equipment, like it is on the Volkswagen.

Our researchers shopped around for the best deal on this

pairing, and it was the Mondeo that came out the cheapest, by

a significant margin. The list price of £23,595 tumbled to just

£18,374 courtesy of online car brokers www.broker4cars.co.uk,

which represents a whopping saving of £5,121, equivalent to

around 21 per cent off the full retail price. By contrast, we found

the £25,135 Passat available at £20,533 at www.drivethedeal.

per cent discount. Both of these savings are quite staggering

considering each of these cars are brand new out. Just bear in

mind that these prices will be dependent upon you taking the

manufacturer’s finance, and that the majority of car brokers

won’t take your part exchange – you’ll need to sell it separately.

VERdIcT


Tough call, this one, and the verdict is dependent on what you

want in a car. Sharper looks, driving dynamism and keener

pricing? Go for the Mondeo. Exemplary smoothness and

refinement, top notch build quality? It’s the Passat. Driving both

back-to-back, we are wooed by the Mondeo’s agility and value

for money, and we feel it has a stronger street presence too,

with the Aston-look of that mouthy front grille. The Passat seems

somehow more discreet, and has a more conservative cabin, but

isn’t quite as engaging to drive. It also has the disadvantage of

having a saloon body, and therefore less practicality, than the

versatile hatchback design of the Mondeo. The big Volkswagen is

a very fine car, but victory goes to the big suave Ford.

…both should be commended for coming with a space saver spare wheel as standard, though the passat goes one step further with self-sealing tyres.

N ever mind 50 shades of grey, the motoring scene is

awash with colour these days. Where monochrome

shades of silver, gunmetal, black, white, and – yes, grey

– once dominated the view in any car park, now there is a regular

peppering of brighter colours. MINI showed the way to grab

attention with its colourful personalisation of cars, and the trend is

spilling over into other marques. Hence we have here a new Skoda

Fabia in vivid blue, with white roof, mirrors and wheels. It stands

out in a young, fun kind of way. But that’s not to all tastes, and the

latest Hyundai i20 it is up against in this small car twin test takes a

more conservative road, with a body colour that is, well, a shade of

grey. But that’s just the aesthetics. Let’s take a much closer look at

what else they have to woo our attention.

Hyundai i20 Skoda FabiaHHHHH HHHHH

The big trend in small car engines is three-cylinder units, but the

i20’s motor is a four-cylinder one. It does a decent enough job of

hauling a car that is the heavier of the two by some 200kg, but

it isn’t quite as lively, with an acceleration time that is a second

slower than its rival. Power output is identical for both, but this

one is not quite as torquey. Steering feel is on the light side,

good for in-town manoeuvrability, but a little lacking in infirmity

at speed. The i20’s body control is good, and it grips the bends

well. Ride quality is fine most of the time, although it doesn’t

iron out all the undulations of a coarse surface, and you find

some degree of jostle permeating the cabin.

The Fabia is on trend with its three-cylinder engine, which

sounds distinctive and pulls very eagerly. It has the more willing

feel of the two, aided by a slightly shorter body and lower weight

to propel. It is quicker off the mark, with a higher top speed, and

is a likeable little car to drive – quite eager through the gears.

Handling is tidy and well-controlled, and ride quality is quite

reasonable, but becomes a bit variable over a lumpy surface.

Internal style and quality are high in the i20 for a car in this

price bracket. Surfaces are more tactile, the design has a little

more flair, and it feels a very agreeable place to be. The cabin

is light and airy, with good all-round vision, and seat comfort is

high with very adequate lateral support. It is disappointing that

the i20’s infotainment system doesn’t come with touchscreen

control, which is becoming increasing the norm in rival models.

For general ambiance and comfort, though, the i20 is a class

act for its size and price. The choice of both materials and their

colour scheme is all a rung above the Fabia for elegance and

quality. Refinement is a little better too, with more subdued

engine noise and less wind ruffle.

Cabin-wise, the Fabia is the more conservative choice of the

two, with straighter lines and a slightly more corporate ambiance.

Skoda has pulled its socks up, though, with this new model Fabia.

The interior is clearly higher calibre than the previous model.

The materials used are better quality, and partly soft-touch. That

said, it still isn’t quite as pleasingly plush as its rival’s. Where it

does score is with details like the very user-friendly touchscreen

infotainment system high up in the dash, and the large door

pockets that swallow lots of your oddments. There is a good view

out in all directions, with no troubling blind spots. The seats

have good adjustment and are nicely bolstered, although ultimate

comfort is not quite a match for the i20.

to accommodate that travelling essential of a water bottle. Seat

folding is slick and easy, and while the boot sill height is a little

higher than the Fabia’s, its squarer aperture is just a touch more

convenient.

Skoda is known for its skill in car packaging, and the Fabia

is a good example. It squeezes a decent amount of internal

space into a relatively small body. The cabin feels snug but

un-squashed, and the boot in standard form is almost 30 litres

bigger than the i20s. That’s a worthwhile difference when you

need to shoehorn in a big supermarket haul of groceries, leisure

kit or holiday luggage. Seat folding is an easy action too. With its

rear seats stowed, the Fabia’s cargo size advantage is 133 litres.

It’s odd that the smaller, lighter car crams in more capacity, but

it does make the Fabia the more practical car of the two, and it is

achieved without skimping on rear seat kneeroom.

the combined cycle. This compares to 88g/km and 83.1mpg on

the Fabia, giving a significant on-paper lead to the Fabia, with an

extra 14.2 miles possible from every gallon of fuel. In these cost

conscious days, this is nothing to be sniffed at. The good news

continues for business users, with the Skoda sitting in the 14

per cent company car benefit-in-kind bracket, with the Hyundai

several rungs higher at 17 per cent. The Fabia also qualifies for

free vehicle excise duty each year, with the i20 costing £20 per

annum after year one.

The tide is turned when it comes to aftersales care, with the

baby Hyundai featuring an excellent five-year, unlimited mileage

warranty, compared to the industry standard three years and

60,000 miles on the Skoda. For buyers that keep their cars for

a while, this is a significant advantage. Servicing is required

every year or 10,000 miles for the i20, with the Fabia featuring a

condition based service indicator on the dashboard, which tells

you when maintenance is needed. It varies depending upon your

driving style and the roads that you use, and typically indicates

service intervals of between 12,000 and 16,000 miles. Insurance

costs should be identical on this pairing, with each falling into

the same group 11.

Gone are the times when Skodas were budget priced, competing

at the lower end of the marketplace. Prices have crept up

in line with its credibility, with the marque now considered

highly amongst other mainstream contenders. And so here we

compare the mid-range Hyundai i20 SE with the top-of-the-range

Skoda Fabia SE L, which surprisingly have very similar levels of

equipment. The Fabia wears a price tag of £16,240, compared

to the bargain-priced i20 at £14,725. Opting for the mid-spec

Fabia SE would shave £850 off the price difference, but would

ultimately be left lacking in the equipment stakes, and the

Hyundai would still have the cheaper list price.

Both cars come with a useful amount of standard kit, including

Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, cruise control, 16-inch alloy

wheels, rear parking sensors, a variable height boot floor and

60/40 split/fold rear seats, as well as front fog lights, electric

front windows, an alarm system and electric and heated mirrors.

The Hyundai trumps the Skoda by providing a space saver spare

wheel as standard, with Fabia buyers having to either put up

with a tyre repair kit or stumping up £85 for a space saver spare.

Other notable standard equipment highlights in the i20 that the

Fabia does without are electric rear windows and a lane departure

warning system. The Skoda counters by providing climate control

in the standard kit list, compared to just on-off air conditioning

in the Hyundai, and also features autonomous emergency braking

– an invaluable safety device to prevent low speed shunts – DAB

digital radio, keyless entry and an auto-dimming rear view mirror.

Mirrorlink is also included within the price, allowing smartphone

users to see the same display on the touchscreen as they would

on their mobile phone.

Shopping around will yield a decent discount on either of these

pair, despite them both being newly on sale, with the Hyundai

i20 1.4 CRDi SE available at just £12,559 from online brokers

www.drivethedeal.co.uk, representing a £2,166 saving, equivalent

to an almost 15 per cent discount. There’s a few extra pounds

off available on the Skoda Fabia SE L 1.4 TDI, with a reduction of

£2,194 on offer through online car brokers www.brokers4cars.

to £14,046, a reduction of just over 13 per cent. It is usually

conditional that you take out the car maker’s finance, and bear

in mind that most online brokers won’t take your old car in part-

exchange, meaning you’ll have to sell it yourself.

vErdIcT


This one could go either way. Both cars have their strengths and

weaknesses. The i20 has neat styling and a classier cabin, the

Fabia is a little funkier in looks, but despite an upgrade inside, is

not quite a match internally. If it is livelier performance and better

efficiency you want, there is no doubt that the Fabia is out in

front. It is quicker, as well as more eco-friendly. It is also the more

practical car of the two for space utilisation. But – and it’s a big

but in a budget car – the i20 is significantly cheaper and comes

with an extra two years of warranty. But it isn’t enough to swing

the decision pendulum in its favour. It’s a win for the Skoda.

Because Hyundai hasn’t fitted fuel-saving stop-start technology to the i20, its eco-credentials aren’t as strong as the Skoda…

some of this can be offset by the car’s 5g/km

reduction in CO2 emissions and additional 4.2

miles that can be travelled with every gallon of

fuel. Available in top-spec Feline in five-door

guise, and luxury XY trim with three-doors, it’s

the former that we test here.

With 118bhp under your right foot, it’s a

swift performer away from the line, delivering

gutsy performance throughout the rev range.

Plentiful mid-range torque is aided by a slick

gearbox with six well chosen ratios. The

quick, precise steering gives a go-kart-like feel

through twisty bends, helped by taut body

control, excellent grip and low levels of lean.

Out test involved a 100-mile high speed dash

along waterlogged motorways and back roads,

and the baby Peugeot displayed huge levels of

grip, feeling planted and surefooted. Most rival

small cars would become scary, aquaplaning

and getting buffeted by the changing

surfaces, but our 208 remained a delight

to pilot. The new BlueHDi engine is

quiet and refined, especially from cold,

and even remains subdued when the

accelerator pedal is at full tilt. Only a

firmer than ideal suspension set-up at lower

speeds spoils the party, transmitting potholes

and broken surfaces into the cabin, delivering

a jittery ride, though at faster motorway

speeds, the ride comfort becomes quite calm.

There’s a smidgeon of wind noise at speed,

though road noise is nicely contained.

Despite having one of the smallest

footprints in the supermini class, especially

compared to the Renault Clio and Vauxhall

Corsa, the engineers at Peugeot have worked

wonders on packaging, as the 208 is actually

pretty roomy. The boot space is close to

class leading, with 311 litres available

with the seats up, and 1,152 litres with

the chairs tumbled down, while both

front and back, there’s a decent amount

of legroom. Up front, there’s a good

levels of headroom, though in the rear,

taller passengers will find that their head

brushes the ceiling of the panoramic

roof. The design of the cabin is attractive,

using classy materials, with a mixture of

soft-touch mouldings, metal appliqués

and piano black detailing. Oddment space

is pretty good, thanks to a a big central

bin ahead of the gear lever and large door

pockets, though due to the location of the

fuse box, the glovebox is disappointingly

small. While to many the small diameter

steering wheel and instruments mounted

high up are like marmite, and a controversial

talking point, we actually quite like them, with

the arrangement suiting average height drivers

particularly well. The white on black dials look

smart, are easy on the eye and are a model

of clarity, while all BlueHDi 120 models come

with standard-fit satellite navigation and this is

placed neatly within the driver’s field of vision

and operated via the intuitive touchscreen.

Vauxhall Corsa SRi 1.3 CDTi ecoFLEX

Anyone that writes off the latest Corsa

as more of the same, will be missing

out, as despite having a similar

silhouette to the previous generation car,

under the skin, big changes have been made.

Of course the most noticeable change is the

adoption of a similar nose treatment to the

Adam city car, which won’t necessarily suit

all tastes, but there’s also a brand new smart-

looking interior and the underpinnings and

mechanicals have been extensively revised,

too. Here we test the new Corsa with the

latest incarnation of the 1.3-litre CDTi engine,

originally developed in association with Fiat,

and now capable of meeting the latest Euro

6 emissions regulations. CO2 emissions are

super low at 87g/km, with 85.6mpg claimed

on the combined fuel economy cycle. In

our tests, we managed to exceed 70mpg

in normal everyday motoring, and that was

without any eye towards driving economically.

The latest 94bhp 1.3-litre CDTi engine

is one of the car’s strongest assets, as it is

super quiet, refined and doesn’t even get

raucous when you bury the accelerator pedal

in the footwell. Acceleration is pretty decent,

with more than enough mid-range punch

to keep up with city traffic. The six-speed

manual gearbox has a touch of notchiness in

first gear, but otherwise is slick and smooth,

with nicely chosen ratios. Well-judged

suspension that soaks up all but the

deepest of potholes is another good

attribute, while on the motorway, there’s

a calm, mature level of ride comfort.

The steering feels relatively agile and

precise, delivering a light action around town,

that weights up the faster you go. Handling

is pretty neutral, with body lean kept well in

check, and high levels of grip. Road rumble

and tyre noise are appreciably low, though

there is a fair bit of wind flutter on faster and

more exposed roads.

Climb into the cabin and it’s obvious

that a lot of work has gone into lifting the

ambiance of the interior. Quality standards

have improved no end and results in a nicely

styled dashboard, with attractive

gloss black appliqués. All of the

major controls are logically placed,

though we would prefer it if the

touchscreen infotainment system

and climate controls were mounted a

little higher up, rather than having to

look down and away from the road.

Good size door pockets, a pair of

cupholders and a cubby hole ahead

of the gear lever mean there’s ample

space for oddments, though the

glovebox is a little on the small side.

Boot space is about par for class standards at

285 litres, and folding the rear chairs down

opens this up to 1,120 litres, though it would

be handier if they folded down flat. The stripy

seats and red stitching to the steering wheel

and gear lever give a sporty feel, though the

chairs could do with being softer and offering

a little more support for the lower back. And

for larger framed drivers, it would be useful

if the seat had a little more rearward travel.

Space up front is pretty good, though, with

generous amounts of elbow and head room,

and in the back, passengers will be happy

with the amount of space, both in terms of

head and knee room. All-round visibility from

the driver’s seat is pretty good, too, with the

pillars kept relatively slim.

MG 6 GT SE DTi

Regular Diesel Car readers will no

doubt remember the MG 6 Magnette

we ran as part our of long-term test

fleet, and will recall that it was something of

a disappointment with several irritating faults.

Following this, MG Motor invited us to try the

latest MG 6 on test for a month to see if the

car had improved.

Finished in Regal Red, this particular

model is a hatchback GT SE, as opposed

to our long-term Magnette which featured

the four-door-saloon bodystyle and range-

topping trim. Inside, it’s largely the same, with

cloth replacing leather. There’s still satellite

navigation and reversing sensors all round, but

the SE goes without the reversing camera, but

this omission is a minor issue. The cloth seats

are arguably more supportive and comfortable

that the leather, meaning you’re seated more

firmly – something that you’d expect in a car

claiming to have any real sporting pretentions.

The steering wheel’s leather trim seems to

have improved greatly over the two years since

our Magnette was built, though the overly

sensitive steering wheel controls remain, as

does the overall sombre nature of the cabin

– here is an interior dominated by blacks and

greys. It’s a pity because with a little dash of

colour, the MG6 could be a whole lot more

pleasant. The fastback styling, combined

with a massive boot capacity (498 litres

with the seats up) gives the MG 6 an

attractive combination of sportiness and

practicality to suit family life.

On the road, the MG 6 proves to be

as good a steer as it ever was, albeit

the smaller wheels have the added bonus

of reduced road noise and improved ride

comfort. The 6 also seems to have benefited

from additional sound deadening, with the

car noticeably more refined at start-up and at

motorway speeds, compared to our previous

Magnette. But far and away the biggest

problem with our long termer was the car’s

repeated electrical gremlins – from traction

and stability control failures, through to

alternator failures, the Magnette’s dash was

regularly lit up like a Christmas

tree. While there have clearly been

improvements to the 6, some

issues remain – chiefly with the

gremlins that lurk within the car’s

electrical system. Our test car would

occasionally refuse to start, firing

only after two or three presses of

the key – MG chalked this up to a

faulty key dock and duly replaced

this. Elsewhere the CD player was

extremely selective about working

– it would either refuse to read the

disc (a brand new CD) or locked down the unit

completely, only coming back to life once the

ignition was switched off and the car restarted.

The stop-start system worked better than the

previous Magnette, but this too demonstrated

a fault on two occasions, failing to restart the

car, together with the warning ‘system failure’.

So once again the MG6 proves itself to be

something of a mixed bag – engaging to drive,

practical, well equipped and competitively

priced. However a compelling package the 6

may be, that appeal is undone by the car’s

questionable reliability. The MG6 competes in

one of the fiercest sectors of the UK market,

and while there’s plenty to commend it for, it’s

a difficult car to recommend to anyone other

than brand enthusiasts.

Range Rover Evoque SD4 Pure Automatic

Who could have predicted that the

Range Rover Evoque would age so

gracefully, still looking as fresh and

appealing today as the moment it was first

revealed as the LRX concept back in 2007.

It’s a sign of a good designer, and Gerry

McGovern must be feeling quite pleased with

himself. More importantly, it means the cash

registers are continually ringing at dealers

and even now, more than three years after its

original launch, Land Rover can’t build enough

of them, with a lengthy waiting list still in

place. Here we test one of the newest versions

to join the line-up, featuring a nine-speed

automatic transmission.

Although you’ll be able to read about the

2016 model year Evoque elsewhere, making

its debut at Geneva, we’re behind the wheel

of the 2015 edition, featuring a smooth,

punchy 188bhp 2.2-litre SD4 turbocharged

diesel unit. There’s a little clatter from cold,

but it quietens down once warmed through,

delivering decent refinement. It’s hugely

flexible, delivering strong mid-range pull

and decent pace away from rest. Only an

accelerator action that feels a touch too sharp

on occasions, especially when manoeuvring at

low speeds, spoils the party. The new gearbox

offers nine well-judged ratios, delivering quick

response to a downshift request, and sliding

easily up the gait for maximum economy.

No matter whether you’re hoofing it up the

motorway, or having fun through some

bends on a back road, the Evoque feels

reassuringly surefooted. Body lean is

nicely controlled, with almost endless

levels of grip, and thanks to accurate,

well-weighted steering, it’s a real hoot to

pilot. Ride comfort is sportily firm, with

some signs of potholes transmitted into the

cabin, though never so uncomfortable that you

wish for a more forgiving set-up. Wheel size

is an important factor, so make sure that you

choose your options with care, and sample

each of your choices at your local dealer.

Standard four-wheel-drive gives you all-terrain

ability, and just because this Evoque is the

baby of the range, doesn’t mean that it isn’t as

capable in the mud and rough stuff as other

Range Rover models. With CO2 emissions of

159g/km, the Evoque has been left behind

by newer rivals, however, this will all be fixed

when it adopts the all-new 2.0-litre Ingenium

engines later on this year.

There are few cars, even with more sizeable

price tags, that feel as special as the Evoque

inside, with plush, nicely judged materials

everywhere you look and feel. All of the

controls are logically arranged and mounted

high up, though the touchscreen infotainment

system can be slow and ponderous to

respond, with outdated graphics, though it’s

relatively intuitive to use. Space is pretty good

both front and back, even with the optional

panoramic roof that allows light to flood into

the cabin. Both knee, leg and head room are

sufficient, with only the tallest of passengers

wishing there was more. The elevated driving

position gives you a great view all around,

though looking out through the shallow,

letter-box-like rear window, could be better,

though thankfully rear parking sensors are

standard on all Evoques. The luggage area is a

generous size compared to its rivals, with 575

litres of space, and by folding the rear chairs

down almost flat, this can be opened up to a

spacious 1,445 litres.

What’s Hot Looks great and highly desirable, and the design has aged well. Plush, top quality materials and neat attention to detail. Swift performance. Surefooted. Great fun to pilot. Resale values are excellent.

What’s Not Quite pricey. Accelerator action too sharp. Touchscreen infotainment system can be slow to react. Letter box-like rear window hinders view out. Not as economical as some newer rivals.

I t’s all well and good testing cars on new car launches or for a week at a time, but what are the latest models really like to live with on a day-to-day basis? A car can perform very differently

on familiar roads, and when the family are subjecting it to more mundane, everyday tasks. It’s the time when annoying niggles are discovered or reasons why a particular car is better than the opposition. Our test team scrutinise every aspect of our fleet of long-term test cars, delivering our verdict over a six to twelve month test period. If there’s a car that you would like to see on test, drop the editor a line at any of the usual addresses. We would also love to hear from you if you’re running a similar model – it’s always great to compare notes and get reader feedback.

SkOda OcTaviavRS 2.0 TDI CR

Spring is on the horizon, hooray.

Daffodils are blooming, woodpeckers

are drumming in the woods to create

nest sites, but it is still perishing cold and

wintry as I write this. The last overnight

snow-fall where we live in the south-east

is only a few days past, although it was

mercifully short lived and had melted by

tea-time. I crave some better weather to

enjoy the performance of our Octavia vRS,

but until then I’m relishing some features

the car has that have been proving very

handy through the winter months. It is a

joy to go out to an icy car in the morning

knowing that it is equipped with door mirror

demisting, for a quickly cleared rearward

view. No need to fumble around wiping the

glass, leaving it inevitably smeary, when

the car does the job much more efficiently

for you. Front and rear screen demisting

is pretty efficient too. Some cars take a

while to clear the glass, but the Octavia

does it quite quickly. And then there is the

onboard ice-scraper. Yes, the Octavia, like

some other Skodas, including the new Fabia,

comes equipped with its own neat little

ice-scraper that is permanently housed in a

tailored slot just inside the fuel filler flap.

This is such a simple, low-cost, invaluable

little detail that I’m amazed it isn’t a regular

feature on every new car sold. It’s so handy

to know that wherever you go at this time

of year, the car’s own ice-scraper is carried

with you. Yes, I know they can be bought

quite cheaply, but they never seem to be

where you want them when needed – except

for this one with its own permanent home.

This month’s motoring in the Octavia

has included a couple of longish trips, but

also lots of shorter ones. Fuel consumption

remains at least eight mpg below the

official figure. That’s disappointing, but

realistically the figure that the car returns

in everyday driving. Even so, it isn’t too bad

for a car with a distinctly sporty nature to

be returning mpg comfortably above the

50-mark. It does reflect what a long way

fuel consumption has progressed in recent

times. This is a car with a 181bhp power

output, 280lb ft of torque, and a 0-62mph

acceleration time just a notch above eight

seconds. In that context, consumption in

the lower 50s to a gallon is actually pretty

fair and reasonable.

I’m finding that the Octavia’s cavernous

590 litre boot is both a boon and a

temptation. While it is wonderful to have

all that room in the back for whatever you

might want to carry, it tends

to encourage bad habits. I was

slightly shocked the other day

to open the boot and realise

what a lot of unnecessary kit I’d

left in it. Carrying unnecessary

weight around with you is not

helpful for minimising fuel

consumption, so as soon as the

weather is a bit less chilly, the

boot must undergo a rigorous

turn-out and spring-clean. Roll

on the nicer weather!

WHaT’S HOT

WHaT’S NOT

Something very useful to tackle the effects of the cold weather: a neat little ice-scraper handily located in its own tailored slot inside the fuel filler cap. Such a great idea!

The boot is so big that it’s tempting to leave clutter permanently in it, knowing there’s always plenty of space left for overnight bags or anything else you’ll want to carry.

Audi A7 SpORTbAckExecutive SE 3.0 TDI quattro Automatic

Few owners would choose an A7

Sportback as their sole means of

transport; so, with no long trips

being undertaken over the Christmas and

New Year period, the car has sat in the

driveway a few times whilst alternative

transport has been used for some very short

trips to the local shops. It's a fairly bulky car

to position safely in a busy car park, if you

want to avoid some clumsy parker giving

the fine bodywork a ding, which offers a

good reason to choose something smaller

for such trips. That said, even with the

substantial mass of its 3.0-litre V6 engine,

cold start warm-up is surprisingly swift,

and evidently the result of considerable

design effort. The new crankcase and newly

designed cylinder heads now have separate

coolant loops, and the innovative thermal

management system of the new engine also

significantly improves the fuel efficiency

– by 13 per cent over its predecessor.

The recent winter weather has not been

conducive to achieving high mpg figures,

but nevertheless 25- to 30-mile round

trips have usually been covered at around

40mpg, which to my mind is fine economy

from a 3.0-litre V6 engine.

I have been using the manual override

on the S tronic transmission, using the

steering wheel paddleshifts, rather more

often recently. I'm not convinced that on

a light throttle having the engine in sixth

gear at 40mph and spinning at little over

1,000rpm (as in Audi Drive Select Efficiency

setting E) is necessarily a good thing,

particularly if the engine is still cold, so I've

been slotting it down a gear or two at times,

which doesn't seem to affect fuel economy

very much, and must make for a somewhat

quicker warm-up. This is not quite the

same effect as one might achieve in the

Sport setting, where the speeds held in

the gears are rather too much at the other

extreme. Generally there's such adequate

performance available that you just don't

need to paddle the A7 along unless you

seek maximum acceleration, and for swift

overtaking, you can always paddle select

a lower gear when still in D that will be

held for 15 seconds or so, after which the

automatic gear selection is then resumed.

My exploration of the owner's manual

has continued over the past month, and

I made my first automated check of the

engine oil level using the MMI (multi-

media interface) system, which proved to

be quite satisfactory. It's actually not too

long-winded, although it needs to be done

with the engine hot, not cold, and probably

better after a nice good run, which is often

not a very convenient time if you want to

get into the house and shut

the car away. It’ll probably be

one of those things that you’ll

remember you need to do

just as you walk through the

door, and you’ll promise to do

next time around. Build it into

a weekly routine, along with

checking the condition of the

tyres and the washer levels, and

it’ll soon become second nature.

VOLVO V40 CROSS COUNTRYD4 SE Nav Geartronic

It’s said that the pen is mightier than

the sword. If that’s the case, the

camera must be a positively lethal

weapon, as if there’s one instrument

that strikes fear into those in power,

it’s the brandishing of a Nikon. Or in

my case, an iPhone. After last month’s

stream of warnings from the Volvo’s

tyre pressure monitoring system, and a

series of attempts to keep the nearside

rear tyre inflated, the V40’s dashboard

started protesting more firmly. Instead

of demurely mentioning that the tyre

needed to be checked, the message was

upgraded to “rear tyre needs air now”.

Sure enough, adding air calmed down the

dashboard warnings, only very briefly,

so something was clearly amiss. I dived

into National Tyres in Guildford for a

diagnosis and a more permanent fix. It

turned out I’d picked up a screw in the

centre of the tread, but if I crossed their

palms with enough silver they could fix it.

I never established what the cost would be

though, because when I said I’d need to

grab a shot of the car being worked on, for

this report, I was told that it wouldn’t be

possible. “More than my job’s worth mate;

if my boss found out the press had been in

here with cameras, I’d be in big trouble”.

Having failed in my attempt to scoop a

major exposé on suspect tyre practices

in Guildford, I tried the Hi Q opposite,

for repairs. This time I was welcomed

with open arms and I could take as many

pictures as I wanted. Ross fixed the

puncture very efficiently and I was relieved

of £19 for the privilege – a new tyre would

have cost closer to £140!

So far all is hunky dory with the nearside

rear tyre, but a few days after it was fixed

I had to go to Milton Keynes, where I really

needed the navigation system to work, but

it abandoned me. Imagine you go to Milton

Keynes (the horror!), but you’re given a

map of Brussels to find your way around.

That’s how it felt for me. The system

would be telling me to take a right at the

roundabout I was approaching – when I

was on a long, straight dual-carriageway.

Or it would be telling me I

was driving across a field,

when I was actually in a

housing estate. I resorted to

using my phone to navigate

to my meeting, which could

potentially have put me on

the wrong side of the law.

While all this was going on,

the one-touch electric windows

also threw a strop; I’d have to

keep my finger on the button

for them to go up or down.

But a couple of days later,

everything was working fine

once more, so I’m hoping the

glitch was a one-off.

Sometimes it’s all too easy to be cynical

about the level of technology in cars

today – parking sensors, adaptive

list is seemingly endless. And while these

extras have arguably made our driving lives

easier and our roads safer, the old argument

about it making drivers lazy persists. Well this

month, the kind of technology decried by old-

school motorists saved me from a potentially

serious accident.

The A34 is one busy bit of road – running

from the M4, all the way up to the likes of

Oxford and the M40 and Bicester. Heading

home after a busy working week, I joined the

dual carriageway and headed south. It was

after four o’clock in the afternoon, and I could

see the road was busy from the string of red

tail lights heading off into the distance. With

a chain of lorries ahead of me, I indicated to

pull out into the outside lane, looked over my

shoulder, saw nothing and began to move

over… just at the point when the 308’s blind

spot warning light came on – there was a car

hiding in the outside lane. I pulled back over,

as a black Range Rover with a personal plate,

but not a single light on, blasted past me,

easily exceeding the speed limit. Speeding.

In a black car. In the dark. With no lights on.

Genius! Had it not been for the blind spot

warning system, I honestly believe he would

have hit me. Given the speed he was doing,

and with a lorry to the left of me and a steel

crash barrier to the right, the consequences

would not have been pleasant.

The last few weeks haven’t exactly proven

to be taxing for the Peugeot – it’s been

carrying me to Oxfordshire and back on

a weekly basis and it’s proved itself to be

a more highly effective companion on the

A303 and the aforementioned A34. It’s quiet

and comfortable and the two and half hour

journey passes very quickly – it’s a car that’s

ideal for this sort of stuff. The only irritation

that the 308’s thrown up on these long runs

is the satellite navigation system. Although

I know my way, I like to set the navigation,

as it will give me an indication of my arrival

time and also lets me know if there are

any traffic problems along the route, which

considering it’s mainly the A303, is always

a distinct possibility. Annoying then that the

system doesn’t always behave as it should.

Sometimes it will hop you onto adjacent

roads, or at worse suggest you’re in a field

alongside it! It will then bark at you to return

to your route, even though you haven’t left

the road – but that may just be the limitations

of the GPS signal. Other times it will simply

forget your destination.

Another minor irritation with the 308 is the

audio system – it works brilliantly for DAB

digital radio and audio streaming, except

for one thing. If you’re listening to music

via Bluetooth and switch the ignition

off, the car defaults back to the radio,

meaning that you have to tell the car

you want to continue your navigation,

acknowledge the system’s safety warning

and then reselect ‘Bluetooth’ as your

media source. It would be nice if it just

remembered that I predominantly used

the Bluetooth audio streaming system!

HONDA CIVIC TOURERSR 1.6 i-DTEC

No matter what I do, I just can’t reach

the Civic Tourer’s limits. And before

you worry I’ve turned into Diesel

Car’s less talented version of the Stig, I’m

actually talking about filling the Honda’s

boot. No matter how many times I head

off on work trips, take a holiday, or have a

clean out and swing by the local tip, there’s

always room to spare in the gargantuan 624

litre boot. Even when the boot is nearing its

limits (very rare), you can flip up the rear

bench seat to expose even more storage

room beneath Honda’s ‘magic seats’. If

even this won’t satisfy your needs, folding

the rear seats completely flat liberates

1,668 litres. There is so much space, the

Civic Tourer would suit some kind of boot

sharing scheme whereby you could extend a

helping hand to city car owners. Of course,

this would effectively make the Civic a van,

which it is most definitely not. No vans I’ve

driven are fitted with heated leather seats,

a precise, short-throw manual gearbox and

the ability to return 58mpg every month I

drive it. The fact it only costs £20 each year

to tax also defies belief.

I do have just a few issues with how

some of this boot space has been achieved,

however. You may or may not know that the

Civic’s fuel tank is found under the front

seats, helping liberate all that rear space.

But, this packaging does mean you can’t sit

as low as you can in many rivals, including

the Golf Estate. Being 5ft 11, I don’t quite

bang my head, but I still instinctively try

and drop the seat, before realising it won’t

go any further. Taller drivers may struggle.

When fully brimmed, you can also hear the

fuel faintly sloshing beneath you, which

takes some getting used to.

After having a precautionary engine

sensor swap as part of an official recall,

the Civic has been just as reliable as ever.

I’m a big fan of the 1.6-litre i-DTEC engine,

which has plenty of power to accelerate the

Tourer, even with a full load on board. Like

all smaller diesel engines, it does require

you to be in the right gear to access the

power band, but feels more flexible than

the engines we’ve tried from its key rivals.

It’s also commendably smooth at low revs,

when some motors can start to grumble.

So, as you’ve hopefully gathered, the Civic

Tourer has plenty going for it, but I’ve not

seen too many out in the wild. Hopefully

this is because it hasn’t been on sale long,

and the styling update announced at last

year’s Paris motor show will hopefully boost

sales. The facelift boasts a sharper set of

headlights and a new Android-driven touch-

screen infotainment system

that should strike a chord with

buyers. If not, it may simply

be the case that the estate car

continues to be a hard sell. It

seems that while having oodles

of space is useful, it may not

be all that fashionable, as

buyers flock to SUVs like the

CR-V and its rivals, as well as

crossovers, including the soon-

to-be-released Honda HR-V.

CiTROëN GRaNd C4 PiCaSSOExclusive+ BlueHDi 150 Automatic

What a difference a service can make.

Recently, the Grand C4 Picasso

has started to feel a bit tired. Slow

to start, a little sluggish and with enough

warning lights flashing to think I’d forgotten

to take down my Christmas tree. Curiously,

the steering wheel had also started to make

a sound reminiscent of a distressed cat stuck

down a well. So I put a call in to Yeoman’s of

Exeter, who advised me that a service wasn’t

due until the 1st March or 20,000 miles, both

of which the car was somewhat short of. But

as the AdBlue needed topping up and the

distressed cat was in need of rescuing, the

Citroën was duly booked in.

On the morning of the service, the oil light

started flashing and – as is commonplace

this time of the year – I was told to fill up the

screenwash, again. The dealer maintained

a service wasn’t due, so the incredibly

efficient and friendly Graham at Yeoman’s

was surprised to see the illuminated service

spanner and advice to service the car within

two weeks or 6,000 miles. No doubt the pre-

delivery inspection was completed before

the date of registration, hence the early

demand for a service. Within three hours, the

service was completed, the distressed cat

had disappeared and our Citroën had been

given a much-welcome wash and vacuum. At

this time of the year, you only need travel a

few miles for the car to be caked in mud, salt

and road grime. The dealer also completed

some minor recall work on the tailgate bump

stops, as some owners had reported fumes

entering the cabin through the tailgate. This

isn’t something any of my passengers have

reported. Speaking of the tailgate, there’s

apparently no fix for the impromptu shower

provided by the tailgate opening, although

many owners have reported the same

problem. Whatever happened to good, old-

fashioned drain channels on the roof?

I’m keen to discover if the service has sent

the electrical gremlins in the same direction

as the distressed cat. Weirdly, the same

previously reported satellite navigation glitch

appeared at exactly the same spot on the M25

near Heathrow, suggesting there’s an issue

with the GPS. The keyless start continues to

be a bit hit and miss, while last week I was

alerted to the fact there’s a potential problem

with the park assist system. I’m fine with

being told these things, but flashing lights

and buzzers as I enter a roundabout aren’t

too helpful! In fairness, though, the Grand C4

Picasso has been a loyal servant this month,

pressed into action for numerous school

activities and long distance jaunts. It’s not

difficult to see why it continues to collect

awards because, even when taking

away the nice-to-have gadgets and

accessories, it’s easy to drive, easy

to park and very easy to live with.

The design is also ageing well, as

highlighted by a passing comment

I overhead, in which a lady told her

husband, “There’s one of those new

Picasso things. Looks lovely. We

should think about replacing our car

with one”. Not bad for an MPV that’s

already been on sale a year.

RENAULT CLIODynamique MediaNav dCi 90

I 've always regarded certain mileage

readings to be personal milestones; the

first 1,000 is one for many, I'm sure, as

is the momentous 99,999, but on my Clio,

it was when the digital odometer recorded

12,000 miles. Years ago, this signified

the second service interval and the first

major one, but our Renault is good for

another 6,000 miles before it requires its

inaugural pit stop. Being an old fashioned

sort of driver, who regularly checks fluid

levels, albeit more out of habit, I decided

to give our Clio an impromptu visual

check over. Oil consumption has been

virtually nothing, although I suppose I

could squeeze half a litre in, if I really

wanted to. There is no such thing as a

universal engine oil anymore, and diesel

Clios demand a special long life lube –

produced by French oil maker Elf. Not only

should you use the stated brew for peace

of mind, but also not to risk invalidating

your warranty. Apart from regular topping

up of the washer reservoir, the only other

maintenance was carried out by my local

dealer who (when rectifying a faulty R-Link

infotainment system reported on last

month) noticed a lowly coolant level.

Tyre life looks amazingly good,

considering how many miles the car has

covered over a relatively short period

of time. They rarely need any extra air

put in them, and a careful check with a

depth gauge revealed that all four have

worn down to the six millimetre mark,

suggesting a lifespan of perhaps up to

30,000 miles. Incredibly, the front pair

have not worn faster than the rear, which

is surprising given that, as the Clio is

front-wheel drive, they do nearly all the

work. Incidentally, I am calculating their

service life on a minimum tread depth of

two millimetres and not the illogical 1.6

limit that the law demands, as wet grip and

braking efficiency can become seriously

reduced by the time a tyre has worn to this

level. As my late Dad used to instil in me

when I started motoring in the mid 1970s,

if you need to measure a tyre that carefully

to see if is still legal, then it probably

needs replacing – and he's right!

So, as far as I am concerned, my Clio

is in rude health and alright to carry on

until 18,000 miles when it will receive its

first service. And given

how it is running, I

don't expect any major

expenditure in that

department. In fact,

HK14 DFO is going

better than ever, and

to illustrate this, fuel

consumption has

recently improved from

58mpg to 65.3mpg –

and during winter too

– without me having to

alter a thing I'm doing

behind the wheel.

FORD TOURNEO CONNECTTitanium 1.6 TDCi

One of the consequences of having

so much space, is that you tend

to carry more and more junk in

the boot, and because it’s pretty vast, you

don’t have to be quite so disciplined when

deciding what to haul about. A ‘take-it-all’

attitude tends to occur and then when you

need to carry a bulky item and eke out

every last centimetre, you have to spend

time unloading all of the accumulated

paraphernalia and wonder why it has built

up so much. And that’s before you’ve taken

into account the extra cost of carrying the

additional weight when it’s time to fill up at

the fuel pumps.

Even with a few extra kilos in the boot,

we’re still a little way off the 57.6mpg that

the official figures say we should achieve,

with our calculations revealing an overall

figure of 48.2mpg to date. That’s around 83

per cent of the figure that has been achieved

by Ford engineers in optimum conditions in

the laboratory, but our monthly motoring

miles are far from completed in the most

economical way. With an overwhelming

number of short journeys, the engine

doesn’t warm up fully, before it is switched

off and left on the driveway to cool down.

It’s these that hit the mpg figure hardest,

and so an overall figure of 48.2mpg doesn’t

actually seem too bad to us.

Our Tourneo Connect occupies an area

of the market that is far from glamorous.

Often referred to as the ‘van-with-windows’

end of the market, in the past you would

be stuck with bargain basement trim and a

distinct lack of goodies. But you can’t level

that complaint at our Titanium specification

car, as it comes with all of the gadgets

and gizmos that you could ever want. Even

before we went wild with the options list, our

car comes with power folding mirrors, cruise

control, rear parking sensors, a panoramic

roof, automatic wipers and headlights and

privacy glass, as well as DAB digital radio,

dual-zone climate control and Bluetooth

mobile phone connectivity. And that’s

without the kind of things that perk up the

way it looks, like attractive alloy wheels,

front fog lights and body coloured bumpers

and side mouldings. All of this is the kind

of kit that you would usually find included

in a top-of-the-range executive car, as

opposed to a more utilitarian multi-purpose

vehicle with roots firmly in the commercial

vehicle arena. It’s what makes the Tourneo

particularly attractive, as

you don’t actually have to

sacrifice any goodies that

you’ve come to enjoy, in

the pursuit of a little bit of

extra space. In fact, I think

our Titanium specification

car is a bit of a bargain,

costing just £18,195, and

working out almost £2,500

cheaper than a comparable

five-seat C-MAX, with the

same engine, and in a similar

This has to be juicy material for the

update, I say to myself, as that weird

noise starts off again. It sounds

like the mating call of an electronic sheep,

and it’s triggered by sleeping policemen,

dormant potholes and even dead leaves, if

the pile is thick enough. A mystery sound in

a Volkswagen has to be a story, especially if

you’re as old as me and can remember that

Golf ad about the driver who panicked when

a squeak arose but, rest ye easy oh mighty

gods of tecknich, eventually discovered it

was just his girlfriend’s swivelling earring.

Could our Sharan be about to reveal VW’s

Kraft is on the slide? Well schadenfreudists,

look away now. I’m afraid the problem

was eventually isolated to an area under

the front passenger seat where one of the

children had lovingly jettisoned one of those

infernal plastic toys McDonald’s give them

each time they visit (thus ensuring parents

have no choice but to return, ad nausea).

Said toy issues a bizarre electronic roar at

the slightest vibration. It’d provide hours of

fun hidden under a Ryanair seat.

So there we are, excitement over. Another

incredibly dull month at the Sharan’s wheel.

We’ve clocked past 5,000 miles, but I could

hardly tell you much about them. It is, in

truth, a self-driving car, providing driving

abilities with such a level of efficiency that

you, the driver, are pretty much ballast.

The redeeming element to all that though

is that it’s exactly what I desire from my

daily wheels. If you come up behind a

dawdler in the Sharan, see a gap and give it

maximum encouragement, it does the job

like a civil servant: efficiently and without

drama. Granted, it doesn’t exert such wallop

as to threaten to send you to a chiropractor,

or induce palpitations of pleasure. But (and

this is a tricky point to impress upon die-

hard drivers) the pleasure of motoring often

exists more in the centre of the driving

seat, rather than its edge. Make no mistake:

the Sharan is brilliant at box ticking. It

carries seven adults and a decent amount

of luggage without any need to park in the

Loading Only bay. It delivers refinement

that stops short of suffocation and is the

best looking MPV out there. Maybe above all

though, it’s economical. As the miles notch

ever upward, we’re seeing nearly 45mpg

from our Volkswagen now, even with those

clumpy winter tyres.

As a housekeeping footnote, I’d like to

modify my remarks about the unpredictable

on-off nature of the auto-hold handbrake,

which comes as standard kit. I’ve

now discovered why it was working

only when it apparently could be

bothered. You need to have your

safety belt on before ignition.

This raises an argument over

whether everyone would suit such

a protocol: it’s not, after all, a legal

requirement to have a belt on while

reversing and many drivers hate to

do so. But it does show how one

old-fashioned adage is still true:

read the flipping manual.

the ASX is one of those motors that seemed better as time goes on. Some cars you can get in, and within

half a mile there’s a smile on your face and you’re thinking you and the four wheels are a team. The ASX hasn’t been like that, and undoubtedly the main reason is the lack of a gear lever, or at least one that requires attention. However, maybe it’s advancing years, or more likely increasing traffic, but the disadvantages of an automatic gearbox have seemed less important as time with the ASX has passed. The fundamental minus of increased fuel consumption has been mollified by recent long motorway journeys on which the car has achieved over 50mpg, and on one occasion a memorable 53. For a car of this size and weight that’s pretty impressive, and it’s worth mentioning, once again, that our model has switchable four-wheel-drive. I should also mention that to get this consumption figure, I did

limit speed to 60mph, which shows what can be done if you’re prepared to leave more time for the journey.

Passengers in the ASX have been fulsome in their praise for the comfort it offers, and my wife has on more than a few occasions mentioned the heated seats. Leg and head room have also been applauded from both front and rear seats. The early winter evenings that accompanied much of the ASX testing meant there were as many hours

driving at night as in the daylight. The automatic lights have worked just as they should in terms of switching on, but most importantly the brightness and spread of their output is superb. Seen at its best on a flowing B-road, the visibility is, well, brilliant, and this is without the extra complications of xenon headlights. However, looking in directions other than straight ahead, thick pillars all round (especially the rear ones) can make parking awkward.

The lack of snow and ice during the test period left little chance to test the effectiveness of the four-wheel-drive system, though the ease of selecting it was obvious from the start. It seems only a few years since tests of all-wheel-drive machines had us scrabbling around twisting knurled knobs on the front wheel hubs; a job that by its nature was often carried out in the snow, or at least damp, accompanied by sub-zero temperatures. For the ASX, a simple press of a button by the gear lever,

go-anywhere ability; if they didn’t, they’d probably be getting a small hatchback. The ASX manages those three requirements extremely capably. The driver’s seat has electric

controls, and quite enough of them to get a comfortable position. Style is of course a subjective quality, but there’s no denying the car’s presence on the road. Four-wheel-drive ensures it’s able to go off into the boondocks should you wish to, and space for passengers and luggage is good, with only a slight reservation about the boot volume before you fold the rear seats: 416 litres (14.7 cubic feet) is adequate, but only just.

cylinder engine is commendably quiet, even under fairly hard use, though with this large capacity one would expect it. For those who like to fiddle with steering wheel paddles, Mitsubishi have thoughtfully provided them, though there seems little point, as the revs will still fluctuate wildly unless the throttle is treated very gently. Ride quality is excellent, and far steadier than a car as tall as this would lead you to expect. There’s a little lean on tight bends, but road holding is entirely adequate for the sort of motoring the ASX is going to do. Noise levels are good, with very little sound from the engine and wind, and reasonable tyre noise.

Cooper D that we bought brand

new in 2013, and despite being

washed carefully when time and weather

the paintwork when we look at it in direct

sunlight. The MINI is used every day, and

a neighbour’s cat has managed to add a

couple of his own deep scratches to the

bonnet, too.

So what is a paint swirl? Well to sum it

up in layman’s terms, it’s thousands of

small scratches caused by common wear

and tear. And you’ll want rid of them if

you want a fantastic finish for your car.

It is very easy to call in the professionals

to do the job for you, but with some

can successfully remove them yourself.

so there’s no need for the two bucket method of cleaning.

warming it up in the palm of your hand. Another top tip when

you use the clay bar, is to make sure any panel is well covered

with the detailer that comes with most kits.

5 sWiRl And scRATch REmOvAlMeguiar’s advise on three different methods of removing swirls

and scratches; the first is to apply their Ultimate Compound to a

section of the bonnet with a soft foam pad. Before even starting

work on any scratch, Dominik recommends using the finger test

to see if it can be removed. If you can catch your finger in the

scratch, it will probably need removing by machine. We’re doing

a masked off section here.

Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound is a light cutting compound that’s

easy to work. The only thing to be careful of, is that you let it haze

rather than dry – when it will be difficult to remove. However, if it

does dry, Dominik recommends using detailer to get it off.

6 mAchinE pOlishFor deeper scratches and even better results, it’s time to machine

polish the area, and Meguiar’s offer two different systems to

achieve a swirl-free finish. The first is the Dual Action Power

System, where the circular pads are fitted to any corded drill.

Although easy to use, there are a couple of points to be aware

of so you don’t damage your paintwork any further! Firstly, the

drill must be on its lowest speed and you’ll only need a pea-sized

amount of compound to cover any panel.

3 dRying OFFAfter another jet wash, it’s time to dry the car off. We are using

a waffle cloth. On top of it being more durable than a chamois

leather, the cloth can also be machine washed after use. The

full horror of the swirls and cat’s scratches on the Countryman’s

bonnet can be seen here under Meguiar’s metal halide lights.

7 ThE TEchniqUEThen, there’s the technique when working on your car panel by

panel. Dominik advises slow and steady passes up and down in an

overlapping movement to begin with. Followed by, overlapping passes

left and right. Try not to push the pad too hard, the best results are

apparently achieved when in Dominik’s words “you relax into it.”

Finally, don’t overwork a panel – if it starts to haze, it’s time to stop.

9 pRimE yOUR pAdThe Dual Action Polisher works with two pads, yellow for compounding

and cutting, with black for polishing and waxing. Remember to always

start and stop the Polisher against the bodywork, to avoid covering

your car in splatters of compound.

Before you start adding compound to your new pad, Dominik has

another useful bit of advice, to apply some detailer (the same thing

that you use to lubricate when claying) to prime the pad and stick

to speed four until you get a handle on it. Then, make sure that you

follow the same, up and down, side by side, overlapping passes we’ve

mentioned above, while using the Dual Action Power System.

10 Applying ThE WAxOnce all the defects have been removed, whatever machine

polisher you use, it is important to protect the paintwork by

applying a good coat of wax. We’re using the Dual Action Polisher

with the black polishing and waxing pad all over with Meguiar’s

Ultimate polish, although any decent quality car polish will do.

Again, you’ll only need a pea-sized amount to do the whole car.

8 cUT ’n’ pOlishThe second of Meguiar’s Machine Polishing systems is their own

Dual Action Polisher Version 2, which is basically a dual-action,

orbital polisher. A safer system, because it’s an orbital machine,

so you’ll never have to worry about burning the paint. This is also

the machine to go for if you have deeper paint damage to the

clear-coat lacquer.

11 ThE FinishEd iTEmThe owner of the Countryman tried to look after it very carefully

during the first year of ownership, but has been disappointed with

how much damage there is with the paintwork. After this remedial

work, there’s a real depth of shine in the paint that wasn’t there

previously, and by using the techniques demonstrated by Meguiar’s,

it’s hoped that it will stay this way and swirl free.

Back in the summer of 2012, when

London was host to the Olympics,

Ford launched the Focus ST. This

246bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged hot hatch

version of the car that is Britain’s second

best-selling model immediately became

a firm petrolhead favourite. Back then, it

would not have found a place in the pages

of Diesel Car, but here we are two years

on, and the revised Focus ST now revs its

way into dervhead territory, available for

the first time with a 182bhp, 2.0-litre TDCi

engine. Hooray.

This merited a longer than usual test

drive, and here at Diesel Car Towers,

we always relish a crossing-countries

challenge. So this is the story of a 1,000-

BETWEEN TWOOLYMPIC CITIES

Back in the summer of 2012, when

A road trip from Spain to the UK could take many routes. Sue Baker’s choice with a sporty Focus ST was one right up though the middle, on the central spine of France, to a very special waypoint near Reims.

setting, its vibrant nightlife, and its famed

‘unfinished’ Sagrada Familia cathedral, the

work of celebrated architect Antoni Gaudi.

Work continues on the cathedral, 133

years after it began. Its soaring splendour

was a glorious backdrop for our first brief

stop with the Focus ST, before unleashing

the car’s 182bhp and 295lb ft of torque

on some of the wonderful roads leading

up to Ripoll, then across the Pyrenees via

Puigcerda. A bit too enthusiastically, as it

happened, resulting in a brief conversation

with the Spanish police and payment of a

few Euros in roadside ‘tax’.

That was not the only expense

on this section of the route.

Overnight snow had made some

of the going treacherous, and

miles drive from Barcelona, home of the

1992 Olympics, back to London, host to

the Games 20 years later. The chosen

route would take us over the wintry

Pyrenees, up through the spine of France

on one of its most scenic autoroutes, via

the spectacular Millau bridge, over the

Massif Central, skirting south of Paris and

up into Champagne country.

The trip started in the Olympic Park

on a hill overlooking Barcelona. There,

‘our’ Focus ST in a vivid shade of Race

Red awaited in the hotel garage. Capital

of Catalonia, Spain’s most north-easterly

region, Barcelona is known for its seaside

the ST was not on winter tyres. When

tricky surface conditions coincided with

freshly falling light snow swishing past the

wipers, we decided to play safe and stop

to buy a set of snow-chains. It was a well-

spent €65 (£48) at a wayside specialist

shop, until we saw them advertised for

only €50, a £12 saving, further on. Even

so, it was no dearer to buy chains in the

Pyrenees than back here, where prices

start from around £35 online and from

£70 to £150 per set at Halfords.

It was a stunning drive over the

mountains, on roads that snake

through dramatic scenery. Out of the

snow zone, we de-chained and pointed

towards Carcassonne, for our planned

first overnight stop. This ancient city

is remarkable for an amazingly well-

preserved walled medieval hilltop fortress,

which is well worth exploring. The ST

made a sporty adornment to the parking

outside a small chateau B&B where we

stayed the night.

Next morning, the Massif Central

beckoned, so we pointed the ST towards

Beziers to reach the A75 autoroute

heading north to Clermont Ferrand. With a

day’s driving already under the wheels, we

were appreciative of the ST’s huggy sports

seats that grip you into the corners, and

its fluid blend of vivid performance and

firm-edged but reasonably cushioned ride.



FEATURE

075

Over the distance you are aware of the

bumps, but they are sufficiently damped

not to be too jarring. The ride-handling

set-up feels well-mixed for a cocktail of

stimulation and comfort. The A75 is a

stunning road, and the southernmost

part of it is toll-free. It weaves between

dramatic rocky cliffs, through majestic

countryside. For a trip up through France

from Spain, it is not only one of the most

convenient routes, but also wonderfully

scenic. We wanted to see the famed

Millau viaduct that carries the autoroute

across the Tarn Valley. This dramatic 2.4

kilometre cable-stayed bridge, designed by

British architect Norman Foster, could fit

the Eiffel Tower underneath. We couldn’t

resist pulling in to the Aire parking area

just after the bridge, to get a wider view

of it, and did just briefly before a sudden

snowstorm obliterated the entire structure

from view. Fortunately, the French

authorities seem very efficient – on the

autoroutes at least – in snow clearance,

and the next section of our route north

was punctuated by frequent snowploughs

working to keep the road clear. It was

comforting to have the ST’s heated

steering wheel switched on while the

temperature outside once again lunged

below zero.

A visit to the Clermont Ferrand race

circuit, briefly home to the French Grand

Prix between 1965 and 1972, would

have been an interesting stop-off point,

but darkness intervened, so we targeted

stop. This well-preserved city is a

place of cobbled streets and ancient

architecture, including a Gothic

takes its name from Edward VIII

having stayed in the building.

The next morning we routed around

the south side of Paris towards Reims. We

were on a mission to reach the old Reims

race circuit, just west of the city by the

village of Gueux, while winter daylight was

still strong enough for some good photos.

The circuit was triangular, and in use from

1926 until the 1970s. It was a long-time

home to the French Grand Prix, and Fangio

held the lap record there in 1951. The old

pits and start-finish line are located on the

D27, and make a wonderfully evocative

place to visit.

When we were last there some years ago,

the place was a sad relic of its glorious

past, with scuffed concrete and pale,

washed-out paintwork. But it has since been

sympathetically restored by a local group of

‘Friends’ of the old circuit, and the ghostly

buildings look really good again.

After three days and 1,000 eventful

miles in the Focus ST 2.0 TDCi, the

lingering impression is of a car that

combines sporty performance, grippy

roadholding and tautly dynamic

handling with grand cruiser civility.

Fuel consumption for the long, fast trip

averaged just a smidgeon over 50mpg,

which means it has the makings of a new

dervhead favourite.

All your technical questions and problems answered by our resident sharp-tongued expert

Dear Doc,

Last November, my wife’s Yaris 1.4

D-4D started to emit rather more black

smoke than one would consider normal,

as a consequence we booked it into the

local Toyota dealer. The diagnosis was

that it required an EGR system clean,

at a cost of £300, plus a good run to

get the engine hot enough to help the

(DPF) regeneration. This we did, after

adding some Millers to a low tank of

fuel. We did not have the EGR valve

cleaned by the dealership though, the

charge for the diagnosis being about

£58, back in November 2014. On the

9th January 2015, we received a recall

notice regarding a potential issue with

the Yaris intake system and ECU. In

the statement, they say “through our

continuous assessment and quality

monitoring we have found that, due to

insufficient air flow efficiency in the

intake system, oil may accumulate in the

intercooler and, under certain driving

conditions, the oil may flow into the the

risk of fire in the engine compartment.”

They state they will contact us in the

near future – presumably regarding

some appropriate action. Am I right in

thinking that any excessive oil in the

intake area could contaminate the EGR

valve? Am I also right in thinking that,

in these circumstances, the EGR should

be replaced, and should I ask for a

refund of my inspection fee? Have you

or any of your colleagues heard anything

regarding this D-4D engine fault?

Thanks,

William Hill, Stockport

Hello Bill. Can I put £15 each way on

“Millers Miles” in the 3.00 at Lingfield Park

tomorrow?

Sorry! Very strange – this intercooler

recall is not (yet) showing on the UK

VOSA register. There is something pretty

similar that I found on the web, with much

the same wording, that was published

regarding a whole range

of Toyotas with such

intercooler problems,

but it was not listed

as a UK recall. I think

that you should return

to the dealer and

report the previous

happenings. As you

point out, accumulation

of oil in the intercooler

could result in oil

being ingested and

then fouling up the

EGR. Actually the EGR cleaning job is not

lengthy, or that difficult on the Yaris D-4D,

so any decent dealer should do this as

a matter of course, when handling the

recall. You should point this out to them!

Having said that, some EGR problems with

the D-4D engine have been reported over

the years and, like all EGR problems, they

will be avoided, or minimised by a number

of actions. Regular runs of ten miles plus,

giving the engine some decent work to

“blow out the cobwebs” as one might, use

of “better quality” fuels with a generous

detergent additive package – some

suspicions still linger about supermarket

fuel additive levels, and/or regular use of

something like Millers – maybe a “double

dose” occasionally.

I found this funny little story on the

web, by the way, relating to similar

problems with a Yaris D-4D: “After three

attempts at sorting this problem out,

along with servicing the car, I suggested

to the chief technician that it could be

that the EGR valve needed cleaning out.

He looked at me rather surprised (I am a

lady of “a certain age” who he probably

thought would not know about these

things), but took the car in again and also

promised to put on a new vacuum pump –

“because they sometimes go wrong.” When

I picked it up, he said that the EGR valve

was totally clogged up with carbon. He

suggested that, to help stop it happening

again, I should “give it a good rev up every

now and again, or take a good run down

the motorway.” Please let me know how

you go on Bill. Best regards,

Doc Diesel

I have a 2003 Peugeot 307 D Turbo with

the eight-valve 2.0-litre HDi 110 engine that

has covered 97,000 miles with relatively

few problems, apart from the dual-mass

flywheel failing at 48,000 miles. It has been

mainly dealer serviced from new, and I have

a good relationship with my local dealer.

However, over recent years, it has become

somewhat troublesome to start after being

parked for a few hours, more so in the last

year. It takes quite a bit of turning over to

bring the engine to life and, when it does

start, it starts with a cloud from the exhaust

and slightly rough idle for a few seconds.

Once started, the car runs fine for the

most part – except every once in a while,

if I haven’t let it settle for a minute or two,

when I find it losing acceleration until I

pull over and increase the revs, after which

normal performance is restored until it is

parked up again for a few hours. Initially,

I thought that it could be the fuel filter

housing, as I know that they can be prone

to hairline cracks, so I replaced it with a new

Siemens housing from Peugeot. This didn’t

work, so next I had the injectors removed,

tested, and overhauled at a local specialist,

but that didn’t improve matters either. They

suggested that the starter motor was a bit

slow to turn over, and that this could be

preventing the fuel rail from building up

pressure. So I replaced the starter motor

and, for a while, there was a significant

improvement to the starting. Now, however,

a few months later, the problem starting

has worsened again. It has been back to

the dealer and they have checked for leaks

in the fuel system, and also the pre-heat

system, and they have found nothing, and

are reluctant to do much more as the repair

cost could be more than the car is worth. I

have parked the car facing downhill to see

if it makes any difference, but it doesn’t. (Is

that based on some feng shui theory? Doc.) I am reluctant to sell it, as I like the car, and,

in all other respects, it still goes well and

is in good condition. Would you have any

suggestions on what could be causing this

problem? Yours frustratedly,

Huw Davies

They don’t make ‘em like that any more, do

they Huw! A fine car, and I can well understand

your reluctance to sell it. Apart from which,

some purchaser or dealer will then inherit the

annoying problem!

But I can think of a few other things that you

haven’t tried yet:

1 Parking it uphill.

2 Beating it hard with a stick, Basil Fawlty

style.

3 Speaking to it nicely, before you turn the

key.

Seriously though, you haven’t told me what

old Smokersort of motoring you do, but I would hope

that you have tried giving the car a good hard

run, maybe with a fuel additive in the tank, to

see if the engine is just generally congested.

But the key thing you haven’t told me is

whether the “cloud from the exhaust” is white,

blue, or black. I would imagine that the air is

blue though, but is the smoke? Black smoke

typically means incomplete combustion, in

the form of too much fuel or too little air, or

incorrect combustion conditions like injection

timing, badly worn injectors, or poor cylinder

compression. White smoke means completely

unburned diesel fuel coming through, or can

also mean water intrusion, maybe through

a cracked cylinder head, or low cylinder

compression. Blue smoke usually comes

from burnt oil, from valve guide wear or poor

cylinder compression, and oil leakage past the

pistons and rings.

Now that’s a fair selection and, if you want

to continue your DIY investigations, I think you

should check a number of items that I would

have expected the garage to have done, but

guided by my comments on the colour of the

smoke. Firstly, have you replaced the air filter

and checked for any obstructions or kinks in

the air pipes? The fact that the car apparently

runs well once hot, apart from those odd loss

of power situations when warming up, does

suggest that this is strictly a start-up problem

though, and poor cylinder compression could

be possible at your fairly high mileage. You

should probably get this checked by a garage

before anything else now, and it could be

either bore and piston wear (which you might

have noticed from oil usage) or valve leakage.

You haven’t mentioned the MAF sensor, which

again hopefully the garage has checked out, by

way of checking the signal voltage in cold start-

up conditions.

You don’t say whether the starting problems

are ambient temperature related, and you

say that the garage checked the pre-heater

system anyway, meaning presumably that

the pre-heater plugs were working properly,

and for the correct period of time. You could

check yourself by turning the key to activate

the pre-heater plugs, but without starting, and

see if doing this two or three times before

turning over the starter helps at all – the pre-

heater light on the dash (if you have one) may

only stay on for about five seconds, or in fact

may not show at all at higher temperatures,

although the plugs may be operating in the

background as part of emissions controls. I

presume that your battery is in good shape

to generate enough cranking speed to get the

required injection pressure?

Of course the killer might be injection pump

wear, as pump replacement could be very

costly, and I guess this can only be checked

at a Peugeot garage or, better still, at a diesel

specialist – usually well experienced in such

problems on hard-working light commercials.

I hope this gives you some ideas Huw,

and would much appreciate you keeping me

posted. Best regards,

Doc Diesel

Huw replied:

The exhaust smoke is generally white, with

a hint of grey, and if you give it a rev to help

it on its way, it does result in a patch of soot

on the ground behind the car. I tried parking

uphill and also activating the pre-heat a

few times, and it makes no difference.

The air filter is a K&N panel filter and gets

inspected every service, and if necessary

cleaned. The driving I do is mainly to work

and back, once or twice a week on the

motorway, just over 50 miles each way,

with trips to the shops each weekend. The

battery was replaced a couple of years ago,

but I’ll get it checked, and thinking about it,

when I had the car remapped, the technician

did mention that it wasn’t responding as

well as other 307s he had remapped and

did wonder if the mass air flow sensor

might be to blame, although the engine

management light isn’t on. I will try these

two items next as the costs my dealer had

warned me about was in fact possible loss

of compression, or a fuel pump problem.

You didn’t mention before the engine had

been remapped! Did you tell your garage?

This usually involves raising the fuel injection

pressure. If your tuning man said that the

engine did not respond as well as other 307s,

then he might have pushed the pressure up

more than usual to get a good result. Who

knows how this might have left you, but it

certainly might be a factor in your problems.

A proper professional job would adjust the

pressure proportionately, leaving starting

conditions unchanged, and it’s far from

impossible that it is set too high for good cold

starting. If you do feel, as it seems, a bit of a

DIY man, you could try cleaning the MAF unit,

with electrical contact cleaner. There’s not

enough space to go into details here, but you

can probably find instructions for an HDi 110

online somewhere. MAFs don’t often throw

up warning lights or fault codes if they are

just dirty, from oil and other deposits on the

heated wire filament of mesh. See how you go

on and keep me updated.

I have a January 2010 Golf 1.6 TDI

Bluemotion Estate, which has done

61,000 miles. Until recently it has been

trouble free, always started first time

and always had good performance. Last

Friday it started misfiring in traffic at

low speed. Since then it has misfired in

the traffic at various speeds. Yesterday

it was warm after a 24-mile trip, but the

stop-start stopped the engine at some

traffic lights and then it just didn’t

restart. I started it on the key, but it

had no power, and it only travelled a

couple of yards and stopped again. I

started on the key again, moved a yard

or so, and died. I repeated the start and

it drove away on full power and got me

home trouble free. This morning I took

it to the garage for a diagnostic test.

There was no misfiring on the way, and

the computer hasn’t traced any faults.

The garage suggests it might be an

intermittent EGR fault, but they say it is

a 4.5 hour job to change the EGR valve

on this car. On Friday of next week, it

is booked in at the main dealer to have

the cam belt and water pump changed –

they told me it’s a VW recommendation

to change the cam belt at five years.

Should I have the EGR changed then?

I read the recent correspondence

in the magazine about winter fuel

consumption. I always get poor

consumption in winter, but it is

yorkShire golf ee by gummed up?particularly bad at the moment. Average

fuel consumption (full tank to full tank)

is 42.75mpg for a 120-mile round trip,

and the rest local driving. For the same

period last year, all local driving, the

consumption was 44.7mpg. The worst

consumption recorded last summer was

52.9mpg. I do recall in the late 1980’s,

when I first started reading DC, that you

were a bit of a Rottweiler, but nowadays

you seem to have mellowed! Hope you

can help.

Howard Weaver, Selby

Hello Howard. Firstly, to get that out of

the way (senility means that I might just

forget to mention it later!), the cam belt

change is a correct move, plus the water

pump, and presumably also the tensioner

pulleys, which should come as part of a

cam belt replacement kit. Deterioration is

a matter of both time and running hours/

miles. You should first ask for a quote

for the job though – main dealers have a

habit of overpricing (its their hourly labour

rates, which are breathtakingly high!), and

you might pay only half as much at a good

VW Group specialist that knows what it is

doing. It’s up to you, but you might save

as much as £200. Roger Holmes, 01904

414443, is such a specialist and highly

rated by customers.

Now, to your problem. These 1.6 TDI

engines do suffer from EGR problems.

But often cleaning them, rather than total

replacement, will sort things out. Main

dealers don’t like doing such things,

as they don’t make much profit, and

“technicians” are not trained to do it! Why

don’t you ring up Roger Holmes and have

a chat with them about the cam belt job,

and their charges, and also about your

engine problems? Please do let me know

how you get on.

You should be getting better fuel

consumption, and that is probably down

to the EGR, or just possibly the MAF unit.

When you have the car properly hot some

time over the next few days, give the

engine a rev up to around 3,000rpm just

as you turn the ignition off. This initiates

a MAF cleaning cycle that heats the wire

filament to red/white hot and burns off

any oil deposits that may be degrading the

MAFs operation. Suck it and see – nothing

lost, but you only want to do this once

every few months, otherwise the wire gets

too much heat too often. Let me know

how you go on.

DOCTOR DIESEL

079

Diesel cars have been getting a bad

reputation recently, but what you

read in the national press is inevitably

sensationalised and only a selective

part of the big picture. EC limits for two

key air pollutants are undeniably being

exceeded regularly in certain locations

of London, as in other British cities

and many similar highly urban areas

throughout Europe.

The pollutants in question are PM10

particulates, and oxides of nitrogen

(nitrogen dioxide in particular) which

have both been associated with raised

mortality rates, mostly from respiratory

diseases. The press and air pollution

experts are pointing the finger at diesel

cars, and some of the mud is sticking; for

example, I’ve recently had a letter from a

reader who says that many of his friends

are scoffing at his enthusiasm for his

Mazda CX-5 and talking about shunning

“dirty diesels” as a result of what they

read. So let’s get a few basics clearly

established. Airborne PM10 particulates

come from a good number of sources,

50 per cent from industrial sources,

power generation, and other non-vehicle

sources. Of the 50 per cent transport

derived PM10, only half comes from

vehicle exhaust, with the rest derived

from brake dust, tyre dust, and other

non-combustion sources. And of the 25

per cent of all PM10s originating from

vehicle exhaust, only around fifty per cent

of that is generated by diesel cars! The

other fifty per cent comes from buses,

HGVs, light goods vehicles, and taxis.

If legislation were to ban all diesel cars

from the streets of London tomorrow, the

likely reduction in PM10 levels would be

of the order of at best 12 to 15 per cent.

Regarding oxides of nitrogen, EC

regulations, demanding massive

investment by manufacturers, have

reduced the allowable limit for NOx

exhaust emissions of new cars by 84

per cent over the last 15 years – quite

an achievement. The problem is that the

EC test cycles understate emissions of

oxides of nitrogen, just as they overstate

fuel economy, and these emissions are

not falling as fast as was predicted; but

banning diesel cars would be a knee-jerk

reaction, and is just not the answer. Too

many other concerns cloud the issue;

HGVs still enter cities in significant

numbers, often on multi-drop stop-start

journeys that mean their emissions

control systems are often not hot enough

to work efficiently. Search the web and

you’ll find dozens of companies offering

to remove HGV SCR (selective catalyst

reduction) emissions control systems,

mostly to avoid the cost of the AdBlue

urea-based additive that neutralises the

oxides of nitrogen. So how many dirty,

and illegal trucks, are boosting the

pollution figures?

Vast amounts of city emissions are

produced by vehicles that are not even

moving, and better stop-start technology

and improved emissions systems could

vastly reduce this – particularly on taxis

and buses. If London’s air is so bad, how

come that London mortality rates are

falling steadily every year compared with

the rest of Britain? How come mortality

rates in Westminster and Camden, two

of London’s “dirtiest” boroughs, are

somewhat lower than those for Barnet

and Bromley, two of the “cleanest”

boroughs?

Now is not the time for a blanket ban

on diesel cars in London, and any other

cities. It just won’t achieve the desired

result, and it isn’t fair to their owners.

Neither are the raised parking charge

bills that some diesel-owning London

residents are now receiving from their

local councils. Get your thinking caps on,

you experts, and do something positive,

rather than negative! How about “Park

and Drive”, where you could park up any

conventional car in the suburbs and rent

a pollution-free EV for the trip into the

city centre? How about focussing the

current £5,000 electric vehicle buying

subsidy exclusively on the big cities,

which is where they really deliver their

benefits? Tell us what you think!

The blinD leaDing the bLInDThanks for your interesting letter Chris.

I think you’ve raised a number of

interesting and valid points here, and

by the time you read this letter in the

magazine, you’ll no doubt have heard

about a campaign led by the Society of

Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT),

and supported by a large number of key

figures in the motor industry. It aims

to tackle the subject of mis-information

and serves to highlight the benefits that

diesel power continues to offer, despite

attempts by ill-informed commentators

to derail the diesel industry. A press

conference on 11th March, led by the

SMMT, launches a nationwide consumer

campaign challenging the demonising of

diesel. We will of course be watching with

baited breath, bringing more information

as and when it is announced.

On the subject of diesel particulate

filter removal, it is something that we

have long campaigned against, with

Doctor Diesel in particular pointing out

the wrongs of doing so. But until the

law changed to include a check in the

annual MOT test to make sure that the

particulate filter was still present, it was

something of a grey area, and owners

were prepared to run the gauntlet. You’ve

highlighted one of the biggest flaws

of the MOT test today, in that testers

aren’t able to go poking around under

covers and heat shields to make sure

that a diesel particulate filter is still in

working order, and instead there’s just

the requirement for a visual check. Maybe

in the future the requirements will be

toughened up, but speaking personally,

I’m not going to hold my breath.

Keep up the good work in trying to

educate people of how wrong they are

about modern diesel power, and please

keep in touch.

Ian

Dear Ian

I have been following quite closely the

recent demonisation of diesel power, and

I think my wife thinks that I am turning

into a mad person, as I very often end up

shouting at the television or talking aloud,

when reading some of the drivel that I’m

reading in the national press. Do any of

these people actually have a clue what they

are talking about? I think not! I have tried

writing to the publications concerned, but

surprise, surprise, my letters pointing out

their mistakes and omissions never seem to

be published.

I think anyone with half a brain will realise

that there is a problem with older diesel

cars, trucks and buses and these are the

vehicles that we need to encourage off the

roads. But the way it is being portrayed by

the press is that all diesel vehicles should be

banned from the roads. As you’ll no doubt

be aware, all Euro 5 emissions compliant

vehicles have to come fitted with a diesel

particulate filter, and it is that which traps

the harmful stuff. The Euro 6 regulations

are even tougher, and the deadline for

compliance is this coming September.

The Government must take some blame

for some of the air quality problems, as it

took officials a long time to clamp down

on those people that were removing the

factory-fitted diesel particulate filters (DPF).

The requirement to check to make sure that

a DPF is present as part of the MOT was

only introduced a year ago, and up until that

point, owners had free rein to do as they

please. Even now, the inspection is simply a

visual one, and MOT testers have to use their

discretion and guess work when evaluating

whether the DPF is still present. Unscrupulous

companies have been known to install dummy

units and the current MOT requirements are

never going to be able to put an end to this

polluting practice.

There needs to be an education process

that reinforces the message that not all

diesels are bad. Can you not start a campaign

to highlight all of the mis-information and set

the record straight.

Yours sincerely

Available around the clock, Road Traffic Representation is an online legal system that allows people accused of a motoring offence to get free advice on how the law will be applied in their case, and referral to a telephone helpline and representation by a barrister in court if required. Former practising solicitor Martin Langan spent two years designing the system and creating the data repository which allows the software to analyse road traffic offences and advise.

www.roadtrafficrepresentation.com

Last month, we looked at technical

defences to speeding charges and

we will follow with a series that

analyse specific speed detection device

types, but first let us look this month

at the technical requirements that the

prosecution have to observe when

using technological aids in evidence,

regardless of the specific device.

If the prosecution wishes to rely

on evidence of a ‘prescribed device’,

they have to provide the motorist with

a documentary record produced by

the device, accompanied by a signed

certificate as to the circumstances in

which that record was produced. This

requirement applies to traffic light

signal offences, speeding offences

(including motorway speeding), speed

restrictions related to road works,

temporary minimum speed limits and

some bus lane offences, but the list can

be extended, or reduced, in the future.

Such a record is allowed in evidence

in court only if the device is of an

approved type (a ‘prescribed device’)

and a copy of the record must be

served on the motorist not less than

seven days before the trial. If the

motorist wants to question the person

who signed the document in court, he

must give notice to the prosecution

of this wish not less than three days

before the hearing.

What is a ‘prescribed device’? It is a

device listed in a government order.

There are a great many prescribed

devices, but they include bus lane

detection devices, radar speed

measuring devices, speed measuring

devices using sensors or cables near

the surface of the road and by light

beams, and average speed recording

devices. Accordingly, if a charge of

speeding is to be defended, and the

alleged speed has been recorded by a

device, then it is important to check

that the device used is on the approved

list. If it is not on the list, then the

evidence produced by the device

cannot be used in court. A Police Pilot

Provida in-car speed detection device is

not a prescribed device, so the fact that

many police cars have it installed does

not mean that the evidence from it can

be produced as evidence in court.

In the next issue, we will start

looking at some commonly used

devices, starting with radar speed

meters.

Next month’s star letter will win a 42-piece bit set, with carry case, worth £40.

Star letterDear Diesel Car

I can only wholeheartedly agree with Bill

Warner in last month’s DM@il – Blinking

Indicators – where he complains about the

standard of driving.

I, too, have noticed a lack of use of

indicators on our roads of late, and almost

came a cropper last week, when a driver

failed to use any signals when manoeuvring.

Poor maintenance was a contributing factor,

as the car didn’t have any working brake

lights, and so there wasn’t any obvious

warning that the car had slowed down to

navigate the junction.

Like Bill, when I took my driving test, in

the 1970s, it was drummed

into me that I needed to

make other drivers aware of

what I was up to, and it was

imperative to glance in all

of the mirrors regularly, so

that you are aware of what

is going on around you.

I’m sure that some people

think that the mirrors are

just there for decoration,

and rarely use them.

Another important check

that seems to be lacking these days, is

making sure that all of your lights work

properly. Judging by the number of cars I

see with only one working headlight, or a

single brake light operating, motorists just

don’t seem to bother to check their cars are

working properly these days. And it isn’t

exactly hard, is it? A quick wander around

the car every few days will give you a good

opportunity to see if anything is a miss.

Even the most lazy amongst us can manage

that, surely?

Yours sincerely

Price £9.99 for 250ml

A new plastic restorer has been launched by ValetPro, with a cheeky

play on words associating itself with the big selling Back to the

Future films, which actually fits quite well with what the product is

trying to achieve. The new Black to the Future product is designed

to restore the deep black natural lustre to old or faded plastic trim,

tyres and vinyl hoods, and should last up to three months, leaving a waterproof, hyper beading

coating. It’s applied using a soft foam applicator pad, spreading a small amount of the product

evenly, and leaving it to work its magic for up to ten minutes. Once it has dried, you’ll need

to buff off any residue that hasn’t been absorbed. And you don’t have to worry about getting

the liquid on adjoining panels, as it’s guaranteed not to damage or tarnish painted or chrome

surfaces. It’s designed, manufactured and hand poured in the UK and is available in 250ml pots

for £9.99. It’s sold through good car care stockists with more information and a dealer locator

available at the company’s website at www.valetpro.eu.

With the warmer weather just around the

corner, it’ll soon be time to give your car

a spruce up to get rid of the winter muck

and salt that has been building up. A new

valeting kit from Auto Finish contains all of

the polishes and cleaners that you’ll need

to get your car back into tip-top condition,

all arranged in a handy carrying case. As

well as the obligatory sponge and polishing

cloth, there’s an advanced wash and wax to

get rid of all the road grime that has built

up, and a tar remover pre-soak spray to

be used to remove more stubborn stains,

including tree sap, bird lime and fuel spills.

A resin polish will help to give a protective

coating and restore the paintwork back to

showroom condition, while a colour restorer

using T-Cut technology allows you to cut

back the paintwork, removing scratches,

paint oxidation and difficult to remove

marks. You’ll need a wheel cleaner to cut

through dirt, grease and brake dust, and

it’s safe to use it on lacquered and painted

wheels, as well as alloys and plastic wheel

trims. Bumper shine gel will give your black

plastics a protective coating, and a glass

polish will get your mirrors and windows

shining nicely. If you bought all of these

sprays and polishes separately, it would cost

around £65, but this bumper pack is priced

at £39.99, available from motor factors

Motor-World. There are 100 stores up and

down the country with a locator available at

www.motor-world.co.uk.

If you’ve spent a small

fortune buying fancy

new alloy wheels, or

are incredibly proud of

the ones that come on

your car, you’ll want

to show them off. But

you’ll no doubt tire of

trying to keep them

in tip-top condition,

thanks to the build-

up of dirt and brake

dust. A new product

from Autoglym, called

Wheel Protector, is

designed to repell

both of those things

for up to six weeks.

It’s more than just a

wheel sealant, instead

placing a hydrophobic

film onto the wheel,

making it difficult

for dirt particles and water to stick to

the surface. When it rains, or the car

is washed, the water will bead and any

dirt will simply roll off, leaving it clean

and shiny. Much of the research and

development process has been done

behind closed doors, with cleaning

experts working alongside Status Grand

Prix in Abu Dhabi to test the coating

in extreme conditions. The Autoglym

Wheel Protector is available at a cost of

£9.99 and available from motor factors,

including Halfords. More information is

THE EXTRA MILE

The Extra

Mile

088

E veryone who keeps a keen eye

on their fuel economy will have

their own way of checking their

figures. Long term, the most accurate

way is to log all fuel purchases and the

mileage covered, and then calculate mpg

by dividing the miles you’ve driven by

the number of gallons you filled up with,

maybe over a full period of ownership, or

over periods within that longer term. Any

inaccuracies in topping up the tank will

gradually shrink and you can easily draw

a line through the ups and downs of your

graph that will identify any trends.

But many drivers will be happy

using the car’s on-board-computer or

driver information system to keep any

eye on fuel economy; that’s fine for

that particular car, if not for making

comparisons with other cars, as these

systems are typically only plus or minus

five per cent accurate. That’s no real

handicap in monitoring variations in your

day-to-day fuel economy, and usually you

can draw on figures for any particular

journey as it progresses, and sometimes

for each tankful, or you can reset one

of the displays each time you refuel, if

your car has two trip gauges. Many offer

an “instantaneous” mpg figure that runs

in sympathy with your accelerator pedal

and the gears selected, but a display that

resets after the car has been stopped for

over two hours is probably most useful,

particularly for observing how cold starts

affect fuel economy.

There’s no doubt that what you do in

the first two or three minutes after start-

up can either give you a good start for a

fairly economical journey, or alternatively

make it an expensive trip to see Uncle

Jim living 30 miles away, with much the

same applying for the return trip, if you’ve

stopped for more than a couple of hours

and the engine is cold again when you

depart. Test it and see for yourself, if you

don’t believe us! If you start your car up

and zero the trip mpg display before your

wife and the kids are safely on board and

all strapped in, and if you linger at the

roadside while your wife closes the gate,

or goes back into the house to check that

the iron is unplugged, or the alarm is set,

half a mile down the road a nasty figure

of something like 8.2 or 11.3mpg will be

showing! Factor in a junction or two, a

couple of sets of red traffic lights, and two

busy roundabouts before you clear town

and head into the country, and you’ll be

lucky by then to have covered two miles at

something like 16mpg. Not a good start! If

you then drive carefully and cover the next

18 miles at 48mpg, those first two miles

will have dragged your overall economy

over the first 20 miles down to just 40mpg

and another ten miles to Uncle Jim’s will

only drag it up to 42mpg! Those incredibly

thirsty two miles use as much fuel as

taking you six miles during the rest of the

journey, and this is by no means the worst

case scenario.

Imagine you stopped after a mile or

two at a supermarket to buy a bottle of

something for Uncle Jim’s birthday, found

the parking absolutely chocker with cars,

took a full two minutes to find a space,

and left the car ticking over while the wife

and kids pop into the shop. That probably

knocks the overall trip average over 30

miles down to around 35mpg or less.

So, bearing in mind that you’ve probably

covered an extra mile and a half each way

diverting to the supermarket, and sat in

a queue to get out, you’ll probably use

a gallon of fuel for the 33 miles, when it

could have been 2/3rds of a gallon for

30 miles at 45mpg. All for lack of some

thought and planning, starting your engine

before you needed, and not making a

swift getaway. This is not just a shocking

hypothetical tale, it’s real life motoring, as

practised by many people who moan about

fuel prices, but just don’t think about how

they waste it, and it’s mostly avoidable, if

you put your mind to it!

2007 Saab 9-5 Linear Sport Anniversary 1.9 TiD Estate

Some people might jib at buying a

two-year-old car with 115,000 miles

already on the clock, especially via

eBay, and at the other end of the country.

But Robin Kerry is bolder than most. His Saab

9-5 is a rare Anniversary model, brought out

in 2005 to celebrate 60 years of the now

defunct Swedish car maker.

“I loved the special edition car when it first

came out, with its stunning ice blue colour,

and I was lucky to pay just £6,500 for it

at two years old,” says

Robin, who lives in Yeovil,

Somerset. “I didn’t mind

the mileage, I think it’s an

old fashioned view to worry

about a modern car having

more than 100,000 miles

on the clock. It was up in

Sheffield, being sold by a

main dealer. It was a six-hour journey to go and

get it, and I bought a one-way ticket, because I

knew I’d definitely be coming home with it.”

As soon as he got the Saab home, he took

it to be serviced in Plymouth, including having

a new water pump fitted. Eight years on, and

with another 78,000 miles added to the tally,

very little has gone wrong. Last year it had a

failed exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve

that had to be replaced, and it also needed a

new alternator. Everything else is pretty much

original, including the shock

absorbers. The car has just

sailed through another MoT.

Robin has invested £500

in a Tunap treatment to

clean the diesel particulate

filter system, which he says

was “expensive, but worth

it.” Action was necessary

because an engine light came on, but

having the work done “cleaned the system

amazingly,” he says, and emissions readings

are now way down, from over 85 per cent to

around 30.

During its first two years, the Saab was

a rep’s company car, driven constantly on

motorways, and very regularly serviced.

Robin still keeps it pretty busy, and has

taken the car on trips to France, Belgium and

Sweden with the Saab Owners’ Club. He also

uses it to tow a caravan on family holidays.

The last was to Brittany, “we were five up,

with two dogs and all our luggage, including

a roof box. It may be high mileage, but

it’s still smooth, comfortable to be in, and

in good condition.” The car’s a ‘she’, says

Robin, and he calls her ‘Kyla Blue’, from the

Swedish for ‘cool’.

FEATURETIRELESSLYTEsTInG TyREs

In an arena where top speed is usually

paramount, the higher weight and

lower specific power output of diesel

engines has meant that they have been

largely overlooked. But there have been

some notable exceptions where diesel-

powered sports cars have achieved real

success in the motorsport field.

Events where acceleration and higher

fuel economy play a bigger part have

proved especially lucrative. And this was

first realised way back in 1931 when a

Cummins Diesel Special race car – driven

by Dave Evans – became the first sports

car to compete in the Indianapolis 500

without the need for a pit stop. He came

thirteenth, and the trick was repeated

again in 1934. On our side of the Atlantic,

a Bentley – packing a Gardner 4LW diesel

powerplant and piloted by Lord Howard

de Clifford – finished fifth in the 1933

Monte Carlo Rally, whilst a Delettrez

brothers 4.4-litre diesel took part in the

1949 Le Mans 24-hour race. Don Cummins

continued his success in the Indianapolis

500 after the war, with his 6.6-litre

turbocharged car winning pole in 1952

and looking good in fifth place until the

turbocharger failed on lap 71.

We take a closer look at how diesel power cars have muscled into Motorsport.

As turbo-diesel technology advanced

more rapidly in the 1990s, both

Volkswagen and BMW started to race

diesel touring cars, with a BMW 320d

eventually winning the Nürburgring

24-hour race in 1998. This success was

repeated with a BMW 120d in 2006, whilst

Audi went better – winning Le Mans with

their R10 TDI. Compared to their previous

petrol-powered R8 Le Mans winner,

the R10 TDI’s 650bhp V12 boasted an

epic 810lb ft of torque, plus a specially

strengthened five-speed gearbox. Audi’s

diesel R10 won at Le Mans again in 2007

and 2008, whilst Peugeot’s rival 908 HDi

Le Mans car finally triumphed in 2009.

Diesels now started to dominate in

touring car racing too, with SEAT entering

their Leon TDI into the World Touring Car

Championship for the first time in 2007

and the British Touring Car Championship

in 2008. The Leon TDI won both the

manufacturer’s and driver’s championships

in 2008 and 2009.

Audi decided to switch to V10 diesel

power for their 2009-on R15 Le Mans race

car, and subsequent developments have

seen their latest Le Mans racing stable

include not only a super-efficient 3.7-litre

V6 TDI engined R18 diesel car, but also

a hybrid R18 e-tron quattro racer - with

a flywheel accumulator system designed

RAlly FocUsBy the time you’re reading this, the 2015

Monte Carlo rally will have taken place – the

first of thirteen rounds in this year’s World

Rally Championship. And although the

current contenders in the most prestigious

constructor’s WRC category (the Volkswagen

Polo R, Citroën DS 3, Ford Fiesta RS and

Hyundai i20) are all petrol-powered, diesel

rally cars are allowed to enter the R3D class

of the supporting WRC3 Championship.

Petrol-powered rivals in WRC3 can drive

either 2000cc normally-aspirated cars, or

1.6-litre turbocharged cars. Designed for

proper production vehicles (rather than one-

off rally specials) with two-wheel drive, there

is a minimum homologation requirement

of 2,500 vehicles a year – with diesel cars

limited to 2000cc with forced Induction.

Previous entrants include the Fiat Abarth

Grande Punto R3D, which produced 175bhp

at 4,500rpm, but a whopping 260lb ft of

torque at just 1,500rpm. Between now

and the final round of this year’s WRC –

the Wales Rally GB which takes place in

November – we will be looking out for diesel

privateers in the R3D class. As yet we are

not aware of any confirmed entries, but

we’re keeping our fingers crossed.

You will of course come across many

diesel rally cars taking part in smaller

road, track, airfield and endurance rallies

throughout the UK in 2015. There are

literally hundreds of approved events taking

place – so whether you just fancy watching

or perhaps even taking part, check out

www.msauk.org and www.itsmymotorsport.

co.uk for more details.

VW GolF shoWs ThE WAyA few years ago, however, there was a

manufacturer-backed diesel rally car which

had substantial success in the British Rally

Championship – the Volkswagen Golf TDI.

Driven by Neil Simpson and co-driven by

Steve Martin, the Mk3 Volkswagen Golf 1.9

TDI rally car was run by SBG Sport in the

1998 Mintex Rally Championship. The SBG

Sport team also ran petrol Golfs, but their

diesel TDI car proved quicker out of many

slower corners, thanks to its high torque

at low revs.

Based on the standard 1.9-litre TDI

production unit, the rally Golf produced

190bhp at 4,100rpm, with 2.5 bar of

boost, and 258lb ft of torque at 3,550

rpm – but crucially 220lb ft from just

2,000rpm. Key modifications included

a strengthened bodyshell, a welded

tubular roll-cage, a bigger Garrett turbo,

a modified injection pump to permit

increased fuel flow and enlarged holes

in the five-hole injector nozzles, as

well as a bespoke exhaust system and

a front viscous limited slip differential.

In addition, the cam and valves were

blueprinted, a lighter flywheel was added,

and uprated engine mountings fitted,

along with a six-speed Gemini sequential

gearbox (with full-throttle clutchless

up-shifts) and a remapped Bosch engine

control unit. A set of tasty 18-inch OZ

alloys finished things off.

Lots of testing was carried out on the

suspension system for both gravel and

asphalt, with numerous different spring

and damper settings employed during

what proved to be a highly successful

season. The Golf TDI went on to finish 5th

overall in the Manx Rally, as well as 17th

in the Bournemouth Winter Rally, 23rd in

the Kerridge National Rally and 13th in the

Bulldog Rally.

As a result of this early success,

Volkswagen has since forged ahead with

diesel power in many other forms of

motorsport, including touring car racing,

van racing and most recently the 2010

Dakar Rally – which Carlos Sainz won driving

a specially-modified VW Touareg TDI.

FUTURE dEVElopmEnTs

The future for diesel and alternative-

fuel vehicles in motorsport looks

bright, but there are still many

technical and political challenges to

be faced. Expect to see some of the

following developments over the next

few years

• The 2017 World Rally Car technical

regulations have yet to be defined, but

Citroën has previously built and tested

a hybrid version of its world rally car.

• Toyota’s European competition

department Toyota Motorsport GmbH

has already built a Yaris-based hybrid

rally test car in preparation for a

possible 2017 WRC entry.

• Expect to see more diesel cars entering

the Dakar Rally over the next few

years, with Mitsubishi and Toyota all

considering potential vehicles. Peugeot

entered a 2008 diesel in the 2015

rally, as did MINI with the Countryman.

• Porsche are planning to enter a 919

Hybrid in this coming year’s Le Mans

24-hour race.

• A diesel race series running in parallel

to F1 and Formula E is currently under

consideration by the FIA.

ToTal RECAllHere we list a summary of all of the recent vehicle recall notices announced by the car makers and the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), previously known as VOSA. Check down the list to see if your car is mentioned, and if it is, we recommend that you contact your nearest main dealer without delay, as many of the recalls affect the vehicle’s safety.

SupermarkeT$w££pOur used car experts have been

scouring the country to find exceptional

prices on nearly new and pre-

registered cars, whether that be at main

dealers, car supermarkets or used car

specialists. Canny buyers know that a

car depreciates heavily as soon as it

is driven off of the dealer’s forecourt,

and so buying a car that is nearly new

makes a whole lot of sense. After all,

nosy neighbours will only be interested

in the plate on the front, and so

providing it is the latest registration,

they won’t know that you’ve been a

You may well shudder looking at the picture of the FSO Caro below, but back in 1995, when it was

first launched in diesel guise, it was for many the only way they could afford to buy a brand new car. It had the accolade of being the cheapest diesel engined car on the UK market, and while it was a very slow seller here in the UK, in its country of origin, Poland, it sold like hot cakes. The underpinnings date back to the mid-1960s, when FSO – standing for Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych – shook hands on a deal to build Fiat 125s under licence, and what emerged was the visually similar FSO 125P. After building that car for more than ten years, FSO realised that it needed a five-door hatchback to compete more effectively with Western car companies. The end result was the Polonez hatchback, launched in 1978, and latterly became the Caro when the car was facelifted in the 90s. The diesel edition, powered by the 65bhp 1.9-litre PSA Peugeot-Citroën XUD engine, arrived here in 1995 and sold modestly. One of the reasons for the slow sales is that the rear seats didn’t fold, which had a major impact on its versatility. Today, just four examples survive, with a further seven declared as SORN at the DVLA and off-the-road in an unknown condition.

Buyer’s Guide

the story of the Yeti begins in 2005,

several years before the production

car reached the showrooms. And

excluding some show car boldness and

frippery, the Yeti that reached showrooms

in 2009 was largely the same as the

concept car four years earlier. The boxy,

upright stance and the distinctive nose

treatment with prominent fog lights, all

made it to production, although toned

down a little compared to the show car.

The space efficient layout of the car means

that the amount of room on offer is pretty

sensational considering its relatively

compact footprint.

The production car was unveiled to

much acclaim at the Geneva motor show in

2009, before arriving in UK showrooms the

following September. Offered with a choice

of two- or four-wheel-drive models, and a

variety of trim levels, diesel editions were

all initially powered by 2.0-litre TDI engines

in a selection of different power outputs,

and kicked off at a reasonable £15k. A year

later, the frugal GreenLine II editions joined

the line-up, powered by a 104bhp 1.6-litre

TDI engine, and producing CO2 emissions

at the rate of 119g/km. Paired solely to

ride height, stop-start and energy recovery

technology, as well as low rolling resistant

other Yetis, as well as a GreenLine II badge

In August 2013, a mildly facelifted edition

of the Yeti was announced by Skoda, and

for the first time, the car was split into two

distinctive model lines. Outdoor editions

feature more rugged styling, including black

lower bumpers, whereas the regular editions

of the Yeti now come completely colour

coded. Although priced exactly the same

when new, Outdoor versions command a

higher price when sold second hand. Prices

were announced in November 2013, with the

first examples of the refreshed Yeti arriving

in Skoda dealers in January 2014.

From its launch, all GreenLine II Yetis

come decently kitted out, with all models

coming with 16-inch alloy wheels,

electric and heated mirrors, roof rails, air

conditioning, electric windows front and

rear and a pair of Isofix child safety seat

fasteners for the rear seats. Electronic

stability programme is standard, too, on

GreenLine II editions, as well as front fog

lights and seven airbags. Move up to SE

trim, and there’s larger 17-inch alloy wheels,

cruise control, rear parking sensors, a

tuninGHere we highlight the kind of results that can be achieved when tuning the 1.6-litre engine in the Skoda Yeti, across a range of well respected companies within the tuning industry. But power and torque increases aren’t the whole story, and therefore you should discuss your individual desires and requirements direct with the company, be it extra performance, improved fuel economy or extra oomph for

towing. Be aware that any increase in power may mean that you put extra pressure on the gearbox and clutch, not to mention the braking system, so you should look at uprating these areas too. Most importantly, any kind of engine tuning is a modification, so to stay within the law and to avoid the risk of not being fully insured, you must advise your insurance company accordingly.

DiESEl CAR road teStSand see the price for maintenance tumble. If

you buy a car with some warranty left, you

must make sure that you service it to the

company’s stringent standards if you want

to be able to claim if something goes wrong.

Make sure you keep all receipts and ensure

that the garage uses only approved parts for

the service and any repairs.

DoCtoR DiESEl SAySYou’ll struggle to find many unhappy Yeti

owners. The well-proven engine in the

GreenLine ll is pretty reliable and, aside

from its relative lack of refinement, and

gruff soundtrack, there’s little to fault.

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems and

particulate filters (DPF) can give problems

though, with short-run cars; so the “one

elderly lady” car is not necessarily a good

bargain, and may even have never been

run in properly. 2012 and later in-warranty

cars bought from Skoda or other VW Group

dealers will obviously offer good protection

against such problems.

GreenLine lls only come with a tyre repair

kit, neither a space-saver nor full size spare

wheel being factory options. If you want

to go out in the wilds of Mongolia, or even

Andorra, with a Yeti, you’ll need to purchase

an extra wheel and tyre, plus a false boot

floor, for around £250 from Skoda dealers,

which will naturally reduce boot space.

Some internal fittings are not quite up

to Volkswagen standards and hard plastics

can get scratched with hard use, so have a

good look around the cabin for any damage.

Check external paintwork for scuffs and

scrapes, and particularly around the lower

edges of the rear doors, which can suffer

from abrasion by road grit that has been

thrown up. Check out the air-conditioning

for full function, as repairs can be costly and

any failure, in Mongolia, could be critical!

Cam belt replacement is not required on

a mileage basis until 110,000 miles, but

is required every four years. So check that

early cars have had this work done, along

with water pump and tensioner pulley

replacement; if not, factor the cost of the job

into your negotiations (£300 plus) or, better

still, demand the job is done before you buy

any 2011 or earlier car.

For those who value ample pulling power

for heavier loads, a 2.0-litre TDI variant will

probably be a better buy, and cost little

more than this eco-focused 1.6-litre TDI unit,

as the GreenLine lls seem to carry something

of a price premium, though expect fuel

economy to be 15 to 20 per cent worse.

more possible with an extremely light right

foot. Insurance costs remained static, with

all pre-facelift Yetis falling into group 12,

with facelift models either group 14 or 15,

depending on version.

The earliest Yeti GreenLine II models

will now be outside the original three year

warranty period, and so there’s no necessity

to get the car serviced within the Skoda

network. That said, Skoda dealers offer

competitive fixed price servicing options for

cars that are more than three years old, so

it’s worth checking out how this compares

to other non-franchised garages in the area.

You’ll get Skoda trained technicians working

part and parcel ofmotoRing lifE

i t's a hard fact of life that despite

enormous advances and improvements

in durability and reliability, running a

used car costs more than a brand new one,

simply because as the years and miles mount

up, things wear out. But you save a fortune if

you know how and where to buy replacement

parts. Essentially there are three avenues to

explore: main dealer, original equipment, and

pattern, the latter duo coming from what's

known as the aftermarket.

Now, while we call them 'vehicle

manufacturers', in truth they are actually

'vehicle assemblers', because car makers

don't actually produce individual components

themselves. Instead, they outsource contracts

to a huge array of different suppliers to

make a certain part to an exact design and

specification. The rewards for these suppliers

– many who are well-known names such as

Bosch, ZF, Valeo, Girling etc – is that they are

allowed to box and brand them as an original

equipment (known as OE) quality part for their

own ranges to sell in high street stores and

motor factors. Naturally, if you take your car

to a main dealer, in the vast majority of cases

a carmaker-branded part will be used, and in

almost all cases will be identical to the part in

the supplier’s branded box.

This doesn't imply that 'pattern' parts are

sub-standard substitutes. In most cases they

are a match for quality and performance

and sold via high street motorist's shops,

such as A1 Motor Stores, and can prove

significantly cheaper. Some 30 years ago, the

vehicle manufacturers fought the aftermarket

companies over the right to sell alternative

Got a problem with your car? Open wallet surgery at your local main dealer isn’t your only option, as Alan Anderson explains the options.

parts, which the big guns regarded as

copyright. A common sense agreement was

reached, where non-original component

suppliers had the right to produce a part

under a 'must match, must fit' clause. In other

words, a Ford Mondeo wing has to look like a

Ford Mondeo wing, and fit like one.

Overall quality has improved immensely

over the years and those that don't make the

grade are soon spotted and weeded out by

mechanics. Pattern parts are the preserve of

smaller workshops and garages and one of

the main reasons why their repair bills can

work out significantly cheaper. That said, main

dealers still offer garages special service and

repair deals, so don’t always write backstreet

garages off, and shop around. Ask to see the

invoice from the supplier, or the packaging

that it was supplied in – that will give you a

good idea whether the garage is charging

you full whack for an OEM part, when they’ve

substituted it with a cheaper, pattern part.

When it comes to larger replacements, such

as engines, transmissions, electrical systems,

and diesel ancillaries (such as injectors and

pumps), there's a choice of either brand new,

remanufactured, reconditioned or rebuilt.

The first is self-explanatory – it's the other

trio that you need to beware of, as their

terminology isn't just a case of semantics,

as you most definitely get what you pay for.

Remanufactured is the closet you'll get to

brand new, and some car makers even have

their own programmes of 'service exchange'

items. Reconditioned is usually a rung lower,

although still okay; it depends on how long

you intend to keep running the car. The one to

beware of is rebuilt, because it can mean just

that, with minimal overhauling taking place

apart from a lick of paint. If your car needs a

new engine, a good sign to look out for, is a

company who is a member of the Federation

of Engine Remanufacturers. It's not the

cheapest route, but you'll gain a quality unit

and peace of mind if it prematurely fails.

Finally there are breaker’s yards. Don't

sneer, because for those on a tight budget or

with an old car, they are the only means of

keeping mobile. Health and Safety laws means

that the days of clambering up a stack of cars

to get to the one you want has long gone, and

the majority of parts are available either off

the shelf or removed for you. A fair number of

salvage outfits even guarantee certain parts,

but we wouldn't advise chancing old, used,

safety critical components found in brake,

steering and suspension systems, no matter

how cheap they appear.

LExuS explores the future at Geneva

Here we have a sneak peek at Lexus’ new concept

car, unveiled at the Geneva motor show. The hi-tech

LF-SA show car is designed to appeal to customers

interested in the latest technology and the virtual world, as

well as remaining luxurious and driver focused.

NEW COmpACt SuV previews Mitsubishi’s next pluG-in hYbriD

m itsubishi took the wraps off a compact SUV concept car at

the Geneva motor show, giving the strongest hint yet at

the look of the replacement for its ASX crossover. Named

Concept XR-PHEV II, the front-wheel-drive vehicle combines a petrol

engine with a 161bhp (120kW) electric motor, and is expected to

emit CO2 emissions of less than 40g/km, which puts it amongst the

lowest emitting plug-in hybrid vehicles today. The system can switch

automatically between all-electric, series or parallel hybrid modes,

and has a function called ‘battery save’ that allows the driver to

reserve all-electric power for a portion of the journey, for example

if the last part of the trip is in the city centre, where zero emissions

mobility is desirable. The Concept XR-PHEV II shares its wheelbase

with the existing ASX and the Outlander, but at 4.49 metres long is

roughly midway between the two in terms of length.

FACELiFtEd piCANtOat GenevaA fresh new look, technology enhancements, improved braking

efficiency and tweaks to the 1.0-litre petrol engine are the

main changes for the latest edition of the Kia Picanto city car.

At the front, there’s revisions to the ‘tiger-nose’ grille, as well new

bumpers front and rear. A new design for the 14-inch alloy wheels

is on offer, and for the first time there’s the option of a sport pack,

delivering extra visual drama. On the inside, there’s new chrome

detailing for the air vents and instrument cluster, and a fresh design

for the fascia surrounding the audio system. From the summer, a

new seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system will be available,

and cruise control and a speed limiter is offered for the first time.

Three colourful packs are on offer to brighten up the cabin,

with the red pack featuring black faux-leather and red cloth seats,

together with gloss red and black door inserts, while the yellow

pack features black faux-leather and cloth seats with yellow

stitching, together with bright yellow steering wheel and dashboard

trim. Finally, the brown pack includes brown faux-leather

upholstery, brown door trim and piano black appliqués

for the dashboard.

Under the bonnet, tweaks to the 1.0-litre engine

have been made so that it complies with the latest

Euro 6 emissions regulations. Larger brakes mean

reduced stopping distances, with 252 millimetre front

brakes (up from 241) fitted to some models in the

line-up. The revised range of Picanto models are set to

arrive in UK showrooms shortly.

smart fortwo

There’s no mistaking a smart car. Ever

since the first example hit the roads

back in 2008, the distinctive city car

has charmed motorists with its compact size,

perfect for running around urban areas, and

pint-sized running costs. Here we welcome

the third-generation iteration of the small

car, this time developed in association with

Renault, where it shares a large number of

parts with the four-seat Twingo, including

mechanicals and three-cylinder engines. You

can read all about the four-door smart forfour

elsewhere, and here we test the smallest of

the pairing, in two-passenger fortwo guise.

With only a couple of people to haul

around, the 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol

engine does a perkier job of getting about,

and while performance is still limited when

going up steep hills and on gradients on

the motorway, the drop off in speed is less

noticeable than its larger four-seat sister

car. The gearbox is smooth in its operation,

and thanks to five well-chosen ratios,

around town, the fortwo is geared sensibly

to be able to nip in and out of traffic quite

effectively. The fantastically tight turning

circle is better than that of a London taxi,

and so manoeuvrability and ease of parking

is top-notch. Accurate, agile steering makes

it easy to dart about, and taut body control

means the fortwo handles pretty neatly.

Because there’s such a short wheelbase,

ride comfort is on the firm side, with

potholes, ridges and undulations

transmitted straight into the cabin. At

motorway speeds it’s a little bit better,

but you still feel as though you’re being

continually jostled about. Because the

engine is located just behind you, there’s a

reasonable amount of noise transmitted into

the cabin when you’ve got your foot down,

but tickle and tease the throttle sensitively

around town, and you’ll find the sound

merging into the background more. The fuel-

saving stop-start system operates efficiently,

helping this edition of the fortwo to achieve

68.9mpg on the combined cycle, while

emitting just 93g/km of CO2.

Here we have a car measuring less than 2.7

metres long, but it’s surprisingly

roomy. Even generously sized

occupants will find that there’s

more than enough space inside,

with sufficient adjustment to

both the seats and steering

wheel, though it’s disappointing

that the latter only adjusts for

rake and not reach. Even with a

sunroof installed, there’s plenty

of headroom, and climbing in and

out is a piece of cake. Forward

vision is exemplary, though

you’ll wish the rear wiper swept more of the

rear window and the three-quarter pillars

weren’t so bulky. Oddment space is pretty

reasonable, with a pair of cupholders to store

items, as well as usefully sized door pockets.

The dashboard itself is nicely styled, with a

prominent infotainment screen that is handily

mounted right within your field of vision. The

air vent pods and the clean, white gloss trim

looks modern and funky, and should appeal

nicely to younger buyers. All of the controls

are within easy reach, with only the climate

controls coming in for criticism thanks to their

fussy design. Boot space is surprisingly good,

with enough capacity to swallow up carrier

bags from a reasonably large shopping trip.

smart forfour

I f there’s a nagging feeling in the back

of your mind that you might have seen

a four-door smart before, then you’d be

right. The smart company teamed up with

Mitsubishi in the past to produce a forfour

in combination with the Colt, but it was ill

fated and the car was prematurely killed off.

Undeterred, smart has now teamed up with

Renault to produce a car that is capable of

carrying more than a pair of passengers,

and the result is a car that shares a lot of its

componentry with the Twingo city car. And

it’s a funky looking design, with all of the

styling elements that made the two-seat smart

fortwo so popular, all wrapped up in a bigger

package that can carry four. The cost of this

extra carrying capacity is a very reasonable

£247.50 per additional person.

It’s not often that you can describe a

small car as being similar to a Porsche 911,

but this forfour boasts a similar layout,

with rear-wheel-drive, as well as an engine

mounted in the back. Our test car came

fitted with a 70bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder

unit which endows the little forfour with

decent performance around town on the flat,

but show it an incline or a series of hills,

and you’ll be reaching for the gearstick to

waggle through the gears. It runs out of

puff quite quickly and so if your motoring

regularly takes in longer journeys, you may

be better opting for the 89bhp 0.9-litre

turbocharged unit instead. This engine

emits a characterful thrum and this

remains as a backing track at all speeds.

There’s a vague hint of tyre noise, but

it’s the sound from the wind that is

most noticeable at motorway speeds.

Around town, the suspension crashes

into potholes and poor surfaces, sending

vibrations through the cabin, and yet it is

utterly calm at cruising speed, delivering a

comfortable ride. Thanks to its small size, the

tight turning circle is a joy, making it a great

companion in the city, and thanks to minimal

body lean, it feels quite adept through

corners, while grip levels seem pretty good,

even in the slippery weather we experienced.

Despite its diminutive size, there’s a decent

amount of space up front, with adequate

rearward travel in the front seats to suit even

generously sized occupants. It’s

easy to get comfortable thanks to

a good range of adjustment on the

seats, but it’s disappointing that

the steering wheel only adjusts

for rake and not for reach. The

interior styling is neat and modern,

and will appeal to the smartphone

generation, with pod-like air vents

and a prominent touchscreen that

is easy to operate. Car geeks will

recognise the Renault-sourced items

from the French maker’s parts bin, but it all

integrates nicely, feeling solidly constructed

and built-to-last. The majority of the controls

are within easy reach of the steering wheel,

with only the over-complicated climate control

system requiring you to take your eyes off

the road for longer than is ideal, to see the

temperature you’ve dialled in. Space up front

is pretty generous, and the headroom good,

even with the optional sunroof. At the rear,

headroom is decent, but knee and leg space

is quite limited. And considering the forfour’s

small size, there’s actually a reasonable

amount of space in the boot for a few

shopping bags, and can be opened up further

by tumbling the rear chairs forward.

SINCLAIR REVISITED

On a chilly grey morning in early 1985, in the grounds

of Alexander Palace in North London, I had my first

experience of an electric car. It was the launch of the

Sinclair C5, hailed as a brave new world of motoring. The little

white three-wheeled, plastic-bodied single-seater, designed by the

celebrated inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, was an intriguing addition to

the motoring scene at a launch price of £399. It was supposed to

be the first of a new range of electric vehicles.

I remember some cynical reactions from the assembled

motoring press. The tiny open-topped ‘car’ was too small, too

low and too vulnerable. It would never catch on, and we rapidly

agreed. But we were keen to experience it, and so I quickly

found myself seated in the 2 foot 7 inches tall C5, grasping

the handlebars under my knees, for one of the first test drives.

John Humphrys was doing a report for BBC TV, and asked to

interview me about my driving impressions. So I was tasked to

drive downhill in the palace ground, into a tiny roundabout, and

stop just past it for the on-camera chat. The C5, with a top speed

of 15mph, hurtled into the bend, tipped onto two wheels, and

lurched to a stop. “I don’t really have to ask you what that was

like, Sue, because we could all see,” said John.

Fast forward 30 years, and here I am again, inserted into the

slim cockpit of a C5 for another drive. This very well-preserved

example is kindly on loan from owner Alex Goodwill, who lives

in Maidstone, Kent. My immediate reaction is that the C5 has

aged very well visually. The design still looks clean, modern and

almost futuristic, in a retro kind of way. It is sparse, with minimal

creature comforts. I am grateful for a dry sunny day, and no rain.

There is no roof, no doors, no seatbelt, so you just climb in

and settle on the hard plastic seat (a cushion and tailored rain-

wear were accessories), grasp the motorcycle-style handlebars

protruding either side of your bent knees, squeeze the left-hand

starter/throttle control, and you’re off. Well, on the level or

downhill, anyway. Encounter an uphill gradient, and you have to

use the little C5’s bicycle-style pedals to haul you up the slope.

This was in a quiet Kentish back street, where the Sinclair was

fun to experience in a novelty kind of way. It feels dwarfed by any

other traffic, is very chilly on a winter’s day, and feels constantly

vulnerable. It still has great novelty value, though. An elderly lady

passing trudging home with her shopping quipped at me: “I don’t

know what it is, but I want one!”

So whatever happened to the C5, manufactured in an old

washing machine factory, and proudly mooted back at that 1985

launch for annual production of around 100,000 units? It was

a big flop and very short lived. Within three months of launch,

production plans were slashed to 10,000 a year. Within seven

months, it was all over. Only around 14,000 were made, and

Sinclair Vehicles went bust. Bold, brave

and ultimately ill-judged, the C5 was ahead

of its time, and now just an interesting

memory from the 1980s.

Believe it or not, it is 30 years since the Sinclair C5 was fi rst unveiled. Sue Baker casts her mind back to her fi rst acquaintance with the little three-wheeler.

INCREASED CHARGES

PART 4: ON THE CHARGE

In previous issues, we’ve looked at

the various types of electric and part-

electric (hybrid) cars. Whilst it’s true

that between them these cars in the UK

account for only around two per cent

of the market, recent growth has been

spectacular, and the main advance has

been in the plug-in hybrid sector. In fact,

such has been the acceleration in sales

of electrics, hybrids and plug-ins that

the Society of Motor Manufacturers and

Traders (SMMT) has styled 2014 as ‘the

year of the alternatively fuelled vehicle’.

Whether you drive a pure electric car or a

plug-in hybrid, you are probably going to spend

a fair amount of time looking for and using the

network of recharging stations across the UK. Some

owners who limit their car to just short journeys (possibly

it’s the household’s second car) might charge only at home, but

for those who travel greater distances, remote charging is a must.

There are many free chargers to be found dotted around

town centres and at motorway services. Ecotricity, for example,

has a network of fast chargers, which will suit the majority of

popular models like the Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, and Mitsubishi

Outlander PHEV. Output is a hefty 50kW, so you can get an 80

per cent charge in 30 minutes or less, and for those motors

with extensive range, such as the Nissan Leaf, that will be plenty

enough for an hour’s driving up the motorway and on to the next

charge point. Their ‘electric highway’ map details the location

of the fast chargers that you’ll want to be using, and best of

all, these chargers are free

once you’re registered. Just

how long they’ll remain so is

of course open to question,

but Ecotricity say “we’ve no

plans to start charging for our

charge points right now”.

The largest provider of

charging infrastructure is

Chargemaster, who recently

announced that electric

vehicles in the UK have been

charged a total of one million

times using their nationwide

network of charging points,

providing drivers with a total

of around 9.5 million kWh of

electricity since the first one

opened in September 2012.

So there’s a sizeable and

rapidly growing number of

charging points in the UK. But

what we really want, of course,

is an overview of the whole

infrastructure, so a route can

be plotted between them. The

might need to know, including the various connectors, and lots of

information on the range of electric vehicles now available.

Most users, however, will charge at home, certainly some of

the time. You can use the household ring main, but due to the

high power requirement and long charge times, it’s not advised.

Dedicated 3kW home chargers are still freely available to electric

car owners, and for around £100, the power of that charger can

be more than doubled to 7kW. A few companies offer high power

22kW chargers, though it’s worth remembering that even with the

3kW slow chargers, most vehicles can be fully charged overnight,

when of course the electricity is cheaper for those with special off-

peak tarrifs. You can get a full list of these charge point suppliers

(with contact names and numbers), and all of them accredited

by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles, at: www.zap-map.com/

engine/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/evhs-installers.pdf

This information should give you a valuable insight into deciding

whether an electric or plug-in electric vehicle is for you. One

of the most important factors to consider before buying is the

range of journeys that you’ll need the car for, and is even more

important than the actual purchase price of the vehicle. If you

need a car that has a range of around 100 miles, so that every

journey can be made without filling up with fossil fuel, then

a pure-electric car may be the answer. If, however, you need

to travel further, or have the need for a vehicle that has the

capability of covering infrequent longer distance journeys, then a

plug-in hybrid vehicle could be the one for you.

Peter Cracknell

nearest thing to an official list of charge points is the National

Charge Point Registry, which is part of data.gov.uk. You’ll find the

list here: www.data.gov.uk/dataset/national-charge-point-registry.

There are alternative websites, with varying results, but from

user comments, it’s clear that the information is not universally

accurate or up to date. One of the best, however, is www.zap-

map.com, which maps details of all recharging locations in the UK

– there are more than 3,000 of them – giving the type and number

of charge points available. The power output of these chargers

runs from 3 to 120kW, so you can work out how long a charge

should take. The site also provides full details of everything you

VED BANDS – EFFECTIVE FROM 1ST APRIL 2014The need to display a tax disc may have been abolished, but you still need to pay an annual fee to the Government. Called Vehicle Excise Duty, or VED for short, this handy table will tell you how much you need to pay. The rates for cars registered after March 2001 will depend on the CO

2 emissions of the vehicle, with the same

amount due for both petrol and diesel power, though hybrid vehicles receive a £10 discount each year. All vehicles that manage to emit 100g/km or less cost nothing to tax, whereas a diesel or petrol powered car emitting 169g/km of CO

2 will cost £290 in the fi rst year, and £205

for each subsequent year, compared to a hybrid vehicle that will cost £280 and £195 per annum, respectively.

JARGON BUSTERDSG, PowerShift and S tronic are all names given by car makers to describe their twin-clutch automatic transmissions, in the same way that Dualogic, EGC, EGS and ETG are terms for automated manual transmissions.

COMPANY CAR TAX BENEFIT-IN-KIND (BIK) RATES 2014/2015If your employer provides you with a company car, it is treated as a perk in the eyes of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and you will be taxed accordingly. This is called Benefi t-in-Kind (BIK) taxation, and the amount you pay is dependent upon the P11D cost of the car, which is equal to the list price of the vehicle, including any optional extras you choose, minus the vehicle excise duty and fi rst registration fee. You are then liable to pay a percentage of the P11D cost to HMRC, dependent upon the CO

2 emissions

that the vehicle emits. This table will tell you the percentage rate that you’ll need to pay. Currently, diesel vehicles are penalised with a three per cent surcharge, however, that is due to end from the 2016/2017 tax year, providing the car meets the Euro 6 emissions regulations. Interestingly, diesel hybrids don’t receive the penalty, with company car tax rates in line with petrol cars, making them a good bet for minimising tax bills.

ISSUE TESTEDThe issue number is inserted if the model has been driven by the Diesel Car test team.

LIST PRICEThis is the total cost of the vehicle, including VAT, delivery charges and the fi rst year vehicle excise duty, if applicable. Any Government subsidies, like the plug-in car grant, have already been deducted within our tables.

TRADE-IN VALUEThe value is based upon the car being traded into a car dealer after three years and 36,000 miles and the condition of the car is excellent.

COMBINED MPGThis is the offi cial fuel economy fi gure released by the car manufacturer. This fi gure is achieved in optimum conditions and therefore it is rare that an owner will be able to actually attain this fi gure. If the vehicle is electric, the fi gure in brackets is the maximum range in miles quoted by the manufacturer, again under optimum conditions.

Ever thought about which car makers produce a great range of cars, and the ones that need to try harder? Wonder no more, as we look back at every car that

we’ve tested since Diesel Car was reborn in April 2010.

Our tests have always delivered a defi nitive verdict and star rating out of fi ve, and here we have compiled all of these results to deliver this handy at-a-glance test index. Expressed as a percentage, the average rating even includes all of the star ratings from tests in this issue, and currently sits at 73.52 per cent. Any car maker above that level is doing well, producing cars that are better than average, while those that fall below have some work to do to catch up.

Each month as we test more and more cars, these results will alter and evolve, with car makers rising and falling, and refl ecting the ever changing standards within the car industry.

WHAT DOES ESP MEAN?ESP is shortened from electronic stability programme, and is often also known as dynamic stability control (DSC) or electronic stability control (ESC), depending on the car manufacturer. It is a system that works away in the background by comparing the direction that the driver intends on going in, by checking the angle of the steering wheel, and comparing it to where the electronics think the car will end up. The system will intervene when it believes that there is a risk that control will be lost. It can apply the brakes, or reduce the engine power, to individual wheels to try and bring the car back under control and in line with the direction that the driver intends. Bosch was one of the pioneer of the system, and the first car to be fitted with it was the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Traction control is always combined with electronic stability programme and it is now mandatory to fit both systems as standard on all new cars in Europe, and has been since last year.

CHOOSING THE IDEALFORD FIESTAThe Ford Fiesta isn’t the UK’s best-selling new car for nothing, and there’s an enormous amount of choice, with five trim levels and the same number of engines boasting sub-100g/km CO2 emissions. We would opt for the Zetec S, as it’s well decked out, with a great looking sporty looking body kit that emulates the flagship ST, 16-inch alloy wheels, heated front windscreen, sports seats and air conditioning, as well as front fog lights and sports suspension. White paintwork is quite fashionable right now, so we would opt for it in Frozen White which will cost an additional £250, almost half the price of metallic paint. It looks pretty stunning in Race Red, too, and that doesn’t cost any extra. We would choose a space saver spare wheel at £100, opt for heated seats at £175 – perfect for the winter months – and select the city pack which gets you rear parking sensors, power folding door mirrors and a start button. The first two pieces of equipment should shield you from urban damage. And for the sake of a paltry £150, we would choose the pack that includes automatic headlights and wipers, and an automatically dimming rear view mirror. The diesel edition manages a claimed 78.5mpg on the combined cycle, but costs an additional £500 compared to the 123bhp 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine, but we believe it is worth forking out the extra cash for the diesel, as it’ll be worth more than the petrol model when you come to sell it later.

DISHING THE DIRT ON CLEANINGMopping up the remnants of our cleaning and valeting issue, Simon Hacker delves into the darker and muddier side of on-road cleanliness – and warns of dirty tricks.

T here’s something filthy in the

business of cars and cleanliness.

Surely anyone who spends

hours meticulously removing any sign

of use from their car may well have

issues that lie deeper than the polished

reflection of their handiwork?

5 Valeting is not a tidy

issue though. A decade or

so ago, a new and deeply

deviant social trend emerged to

literally muddy the waters: false dirt.

Maybe this was no surprise: we have

seen a huge emergence of popularity

for 4x4s, while behind them came

mock 4x4s (dubbed faux by fauxs)

which represented an ironically honest

acknowledgement that these cars are

not always used as God intended. So

why not the ultimate styling product

for the same urbanites who are too

busy/scared/grown-up to waste time

on green lanes. Spray-on mud was the

brainwave of Shropshire businessman

Colin Dowse who retailed the idea at

a gobsmacking £7.95 a pop. “If they

want an authentic look, there's not a

lot else they can do. There's not a lot

of mud in Chelsea," he said. The mock

mud became famous worldwide.

3 All of which drags us inexorably to the

question of which brands

attract those who like to keep their

machinery pristine? Well, a study of

purchasing and on-road behavioural

habits among male American drivers

identified… Volvo owners as the

most likely to keep their wheels

tip-top. Evolutionary psychologist

Geoffrey Miller asserted that while

the preening of your car is a strategic

display of personality, intelligence

and creativity, it may not always,

surprise, surprise, be truthful. Volvo

drivers, says Miller, are interested

in sending a message out that they

are “responsible and cautious”, while

the model they drive will probably be

“sparkling clean, as regular washes

demonstrate reliability and

attention to detail”.

1 Still, cleanliness has to

be next to Godliness, right? On

the shiny surface, perhaps, but

in the world of fiction, the opposite

seems to be true. Scruffy, dirty rides

are piloted by heroes and decent

sorts (think Columbo and his battered

Peugeot 403, Dr Emmet Brown and

his dust-clad DeLorean time machine,

or even the eponymous Big Lebowski

and his shabby Ford Gran Torino).

Meanwhile, an immaculate interior

merely serves as a contrast to the

sinister nature of the driver. Director

John Hughes perhaps best illustrated

this principle in the enduring classic

Uncle Buck. Buck, of course, played

by the brilliant John Candy, drives

a clapped-out Mercury Marquis

Brougham. His car is almost leprous,

but as we all

know, Buck proves

to be a true

guardian for his

cringing niece.

2 Hughes’ message suggests there may be

more important issues to

life than keeping your car squeaky clean.

Correspondingly, if you’re on the side

of the spectrum that goes from edgy

through to mild psychosis and right up

to serial killer, it’s more likely that you

will turn up for a job/date/hit with wheels

that look concourse-standard. Successful

killers keep their cars immaculate to

avoid suspicion and, as Harvey Keitel’s

Mr Wolf points out, it tends to help when

avoiding detection. It’s also good for

putting your victim at ease – you want to

reassure those around you that you are

competent, in

charge and ipso

facto trustworthy.

As SpongeBob

Squarepants

famously put

it, “cleanliness

is next to

managerliness”.

busy/scared/grown-up to waste time

Colin Dowse who retailed the idea at

want an authentic look, there's not a

of mud in Chelsea," he said. The mock

mud became famous worldwide.

4 A quick survey

commissioned by Diesel

Car (very quick, come

to think), however, suggests these

drivers may be good guys after all.

The percentage of potential killers

we were able to identify behind the

wheels of Volvos in the UK is not

noticeably higher than those found

driving their key rival brands. And

judging by the way they drive,

the natural choice for everyday

psychopaths is, after anything

white and lacking in side windows,

in fact an Audi. Allegedly.

6 But if you’re on the

waiting list for a 4x2 SUV,

we have bad news: the

venture is no more. Fear not though,

a home recipe for dirt, however,

exists, courtesy of the creatives

behind the new trend for drawing

on dirty cars to create artwork. First,

coat your car in a very thin layer of

oil (a rag helps). Then take a handful

of flour (or dust if your vacuum isn’t

bagless) and sprinkle onto the jet

stream of a properly aimed hairdryer,

so achieving an even coat. Presto!

Instant lifestyle statement.
