Safety Tip:There are many ways to show courtesy behind the wheel, including allowing space for other drivers to change lanes or manouevre. Driver courtesy is contagious, so wave at the next driver who lets you merge
in front of them – they may just pay it forward to another driver.
Question of the WeekWith the exception of Alberta and Quebec, drivers across Canada can be served with an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) if they blow 0.05 mg/100ml at the roadside. Should those two provinces fall into line with other provinces?

Splish, splash diesel dash to ride a waveSummer. What a wonderful time of year, heading out on the open road with family.Okay, it isn’t all fun and games, especially with 11-year-old and nine-year-old boys bickering in the back seat, but for the most part it can be enjoyable. For the first time I decided recently to take a road trip to one of my many car-related events. Usually I fly to a vehicle launch, but this time I thought I would take some extra time, and the family, on the road from Vancouver to Portland, Oregon. While I attended the 2015 Dodge Challenger event at the Port-land International Raceway, my family could take in some of the local sites. Day OneThe plan was to break things up a bit, instead of six solid hours behind the wheel of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel. Thanks to the Nexus card, crossing the border took all of 10 minutes. The next stop was the Boeing plant in Everett, Washington. This location was first developed in the 1960 when the world’s first Jumbo Jet was being developed, the iconic 747. I take over 100 flights a year but I’m still impressed with the machines that make it all happen, especially the 747. I wouldn’t visit the factory tour on the weekend again. There is no action, just half-built planes sitting around. I found it all amazing but my two boys – Jack and Charlie – didn’t share my enthusiasm.Day Two After a night in Redmond, Washington, we continued our trek to Portland, the land of tax-free shopping and the Evergreen Wings and Waves Waterpark. The waterpark just outside of Portland, in McMinnville, has a real 747 on the roof with water slides that exit the fuselage, pass through the roof of the building and splashing into a huge waterpark complex. This, along with promise of Portland’s famous Voodoo Doughnuts, kept everyone on track for the three-hour Jeep ride.
The Grand Cherokee is a fantastic ve-hicle for an active family of four, there is plenty of room in the back seat, and I never heard one complaint. My wife loved the solid ride and I kept an eye on the fuel economy. At the end of our run to Portland, the average consumption was 8.0L/100km. Pretty nice stuff for a truck with 420 lb.-ft. of torque.Day ThreeThis was the day I had to work. Poor me, trying out the all-new Dodge Challenger Hellcat on the track with all 707 hp. It’s a tough gig. While I was shooting for Driving TV, my wife took the Grand Cherokee to the Waterpark for a day. I checked in throughout the day and the comments were universal.“This is the best waterpark ever!” As I wrapped up the day at the track, I did get a frantic call from my wife “The
Jeep has lost power, I can’t drive over 30 mph, what should I do?”The gang at Chrysler jumped to attention and before I knew it, I was on the road with another Jeep Diesel and being accompanied by two PR reps in a 2015 Challenger. From the track to my stranded family took over an hour; in total they sat at a Shell station for two hours waiting. To pass the time, the kids ate what they wanted from the Shell convenience store and taking “selfies” seemed to do the trick. Once we arrived, we realized a Dodge dealership was literally five minutes up the road!Day FourWith a belly full of Voodoo Doughnuts, including Dou-ble Bubble flavour, fruit loops, coco puffs and good old chocolate, we were ready to go. It took a while for our repaired Jeep to arrive so on we went to sample more tax-free shopping and sample some of Portland’s many food trucks. When the Jeep did arrive, it turns out the Diesel went into “limp-mode” enabling the driver to get to the next dealership. The fix was a
simple computer program flash, which took no time at all. Regardless, we were on the road, heading to Seattle for some underground fun.
Day FiveAfter a great night in Seattle, we woke up to rain, lots of rain, so we went underground to visit the old, hidden city of Seattle. These tours take visitors on a walk through the ruins of Seattle after the massive fire of 1886 and the rebuilding that took place. Seattle is built on top of the old city; there are tunnels and abandoned sections of buildings there to explore. Time to head home. The Grand Cherokee never set another wheel wrong; it was fantastic in the heavy rain and very solid on the highway. After 1,300 plus kilometres behind the wheel, I averaged 8.5L/100km.
The LowdownPower: 3.0L turbocharged diesel V6 with 420 lb-ft. of torqueFill-up: 9.8L/7.0L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $58,000-$62,000

For value, Focus on a late model Fordby Bob McHugh
The Ford Focus is an affordable and underrated used compact car buy
It got a major makeover for the 2008 model year: an all-new coupe (two-door) edition was introduced to complement the stalwart (four-door) sedan. Lamentably, however, the popular in Canada (but not in the US) wagon and (Euro-style) hatchback versions of Focus were discontinued.
The ‘08 refresh of Focus included new front and rear body fascias, improved sound insulation, a redesigned interior and a new-tech multi-media upgrade. The ‘08 Focus is also an about 45-kg (100-lb) lighter overall and it’s the weight reduction measures included the elimination of a spare tire, which was replaced by an inflator kit. A real spare tire/wheel could be added as an option.
An auto industry landmark was reached when Ford teamed up with Microsoft to offer a unique new multi-media system called Sync, which (for the first time) allowed control of digital music players and cellular phones with voice commands. In addition to the benefit of driver hands-free call taking, the Sync system can also translate text messages into voice messages.
The ‘08 Focus, both coupe and sedan, came in S, SE and top-line SES trims. The Sync system was a ($495) option with the SE trim level and standard with SES. On the downside, electronic stability control was not offered on any version of the ‘08 Focus.
The most noticeable change from a driving perspective was the reduction in outside noise and chassis vibration. The quieter cabin is the result of sound deadening improvements that in-clude the use of thicker glass. The steering column in this Focus is also mounted on a stronger crossbeam beneath the instrument panel, which helps eliminate vibrations.
The only engine (in Canada) was a 2.0-litre, dual-overhead-cam, 4-cylinder engine, which came with a new air intake and cooling systems. It produces 140-horsepower (4-horsepower increase over the ‘07) and fuel economy has been improved.
The transmission choices were a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Fuel economy is 8.4 L/100km in the city and highway fuel economy is rated at a phenomenal 5.9 L/100km with the automatic. The manual transmission slightly increases city consumption and reduces highway consumption, so overall the rating is the same.
Overall, the coupe performed better than the sedan in IIHS crash tests, as the sedan got lower scores in side impacts. All editions of the ‘08 Focus came with a new design of side curtain air bag that uses a “roll-fold” technology to protect occupants who are resting their heads against a window.
The biggest change on the 2009 edition of the Ford Focus was the inclusion of electronic stability control as standard on the SES trim. It was also standard with a new SEL mid-level sedan trim and an option on lower trim levels. The coupe also got a sportier appearance package and a minor improvement in performance.
Just minor tweaking of trim packages followed in 2010. In 2011, the coupe edition was discontinued. All of which was in preparation for an all-new Focus that arrived (with great fanfare) for the 2012 model year.
If the budget is tight, a used Ford Focus can be an excellent vehicle choice.
Price Check: 2008 - 2011 Ford Focus (August 2014)Year Edition Expect to Pay Today2008 SE sedan $5,000 to $8,0002009 SE sedan $6,500 to $9,5002010 SE sedan $8,000 to $11,0002011 SE sedan $10,000 to $13,000
Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.
Safety Recalls: 2008 to 2011 Ford Focus:2008: An incorrectly assembled driver’s airbag may not deploy
properly during a frontal crash. All vehicles included in this recall were still in dealer inventory and the driver’s airbag module assembly was replaced.
If the budget is tight, a used Ford Focus can be an excellent vehicle choice.

Towing a trailer for the first time can be stressful and backing up can bring out words you didn’t know you had in your vocabulary. For the beginner, the best thing to do to develop your skills is go to a large, empty parking lot and practice.
The key fact to bear in mind before you start is that the trailer will move in the opposite direction of steering input when backing. Many people find it easier to position their hand at the bottom of the steering wheel; the trailer will go towards the same direction the hand travels. Do not rely on your mir-rors, turn around and look at the trailer. When there is any chance of damage, use a spotter who can tell you to stop before damage occurs. Remember it will get easier with practice. Honest.
The way you load the trailer can determine how easy you can tow it. While loading, keep in mind that the tongue weight should be 10 to 15 per cent of
the overall trailer weight. One of the main causes of trailer sway is not having a large enough percentage of trailer tongue weight compared to gross trailer weight. To help prevent the trailer from swaying back and forth, a few things can be done. Try placing heavier cargo in the front of the trailer, ahead of the trailer’s axle. Also centre the cargo left to right and use tie downs to keep the load from sliding. Trailer sway can also lead to a loss of vehicle control.
When starting out with a new load on a trailer, make sure it will not sway by gradually increas-ing your speed in intervals until highway speed is reached. If the trailer does begin to sway, try adjust-ing the cargo and equipment accordingly and then repeat the test.
Trailer sway can be a scary experience, especially if it is a large trailer. If this happens, do not panic. Take your foot off the accelerator and coast to a slower speed; avoid sudden movements of the steering wheel. Apply the brakes slowly when you are down
to a safe speed. Check your hitch ball, coupler, and safety chains
every time you tow. Many people with long trailer experience use a checklist to be sure all equipment is hooked up and in good condition. Damage can happen quickly when something goes wrong. For example, safety chains wear through very quickly if they are in contact with the pavement.
Leave a little extra room between you and the vehicle in front of you. Even if you are using trailer brakes, you will not be able to stop nearly as fast as you can without a trailer. A good general rule is to double the two-second rule, making sure you main-tain at least a four-second gap between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. For heavier trailers, you will need to leave even more space.
The longer the trailer, the further you will have to drive straight into intersections before beginning your turns. Watch your mirrors carefully and go extra wide, at first, until you get used to it.
Easy does it when towing a trailer
