Welcome

Getting your car MOT’d is right up

there with going to the dentist,

isn’t it? You know you need to go, but

the fear of bad news is putting you

off, not to mention a potentially big

bill to put things right.

This is even worse when your car

is three years old and it’s time for its

first MoT test. You

shouldn’t expect

anything other

than for it to sail

through, right?

Sadly, our MoT

test survey this

month proves that many

of these cars do fail.

We’ve crunched the data

on over a million MoT test

records to see which cars are the

most likely to pass first time, and also

reveal what they may fail on. You can

read the in-depth results starting on

page 34.

Of course, MoT tests are not

the complete picture for new car

reliability, but they are an excellent

barometer all the same.

CARIn detail

MERCEDES IS HOPING to steal back customers from the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series with this all-new C-Class, which gets a host of new technology and a cabin with luxurious materials. It’s also lighter than the old car to improve fuel economy.

The new C-Class is the first Mercedes to sit on the company’s

new rear-wheel-drive chassis set-up, called MRA (Modular Rear-drive Architecture). It’s around 10cm longer than the model it replaces, at 469cm; that’s 6cm longer than a BMW 3 Series saloon.

The new model is also 4cm wider than the outgoing version but despite its increase in size,

the C-Class is also lighter by as much as 100kg.

The exterior styling is unmistakably C-Class. The bonnet looks particularly long, a trait perhaps caused by the very short front overhang of the new chassis layout. The boot carries the looks of the C-Class’s bigger brother, the S-Class, and

while the tail-lights do encroach on the aperture of the load bay, they’re not as intrusive as they are on the style-focused CLA.

What are the engine choices?

Mercedes hasn’t confirmed any power outputs or performance figures yet, but we know that the C-Class range will start with the

New C-Class gets next-generation switchgear;

‘The C-Class is the first Mercedes to get the new rear-wheel-drive set-up’

The new C-Class is 10cm longer

than the model it replaces; the

bonnet looks as if it has used

most of that extra length

C180 and C200 petrol models. The best sellers will all be diesels, though, taken from a line-up that comprises C180, C200, C220 and C250 CDIs.

The cleanest diesel (likely to be the C220) will emit less than 100g/km of CO2 with a six-speed manual gearbox, and the most economical conventionally powered model with Mercedes’ seven-speed automatic transmission will emit only 104g/km. However, there will also be a C300 diesel hybrid that emits less than 100g/km of CO2 with an auto. A nine-speed automatic transmission is in the works, incidentally; it’ll be introduced in the middle of 2015.

What’s it like inside?

The cabin builds on the styling that we’ve already seen on the recent A-Class, with Mercedes’ signature circular air vents. You’re likely to notice the additional width, which appears to have been transferred into more shoulder room across the front and rear cabins. The feeling of space is increased further in automatic models, because these do away with a central gearstick and adopt a steering column-mounted system. Rear-seat passengers will get more leg- and kneeroom than

in the current car, although the C-Class in our photos had a panoramic glass roof that reduced rear headroom. Boot space is up by just five litres to 480 litres, which is exactly the same as the current BMW 3 Series offers. However, the rear seat now splits 40/20/40, allowing long items to be accommodated more easily.

The fascia is dominated by the large central console, which has a much cleaner, simpler layout than the current C-Class’s button-heavy design. On auto models it’s made out of a single piece of material; dark, grained wood in our photo car, although piano gloss, light-coloured wood and carbonfibre finishes will also be available.

There are half a dozen buttons for the air-conditioning and heating systems, and simple

switches to take you to the most important parts of the infotainment set-up.

The rest of the car’s functions are controlled by a dial and touch-pad between the front seats. The pad recognises when you’re just resting your hand on it and when you’re swiping numbers or letters; it can be used to input names and postcodes.

All models will get at least a seven-inch screen. Choose the Comand infotainment system and you’ll get an upgrade to the 8.4-inch widescreen pictured here.

From autumn 2014 the C-Class will have a greater level of built-in connectivity. The car’s own data connection will allow it to dial the emergency services automatically if the airbags are deployed, and to upload data to an owner information service that can be accessed via either a web page or a smartphone app.

It will allow the owner to check the car’s systems remotely, including fuel and fluid levels, and to activate the in-car heating system from outside the vehicle.

What’s the standard equipment?

The C-Class gets several features from the recently introduced S-Class flagship. Most notably, it will be offered with optional �

The car in our images is in AMG line trim; this is likely to be the more upmarket of two regular versions sold in the UK,

with SE as the entry-level. AMG line models get 18-inch alloy wheels as standard, along with a deeper chromed front splitter and an integrated rear diffuser with twin tailpipes. Regular editions will sit on 17-inch wheels, although eco-focused versions may use 16-inch wheels. Up to 19-inch alloys will be offered as an option.

UK dealers should open order books for the car in late spring, with first deliveries due in the

summer. Mercedes hasn’t confirmed any prices, but we’d expect only a modest increase over the current model’s starting figure of £29,000.

The saloon will be the first edition of the new C-Class to arrive, with the Estate that’s due on sale in autumn 2014. Coupé and Cabriolet versions will follow in 2015.

longer and 5cm wider

MiniWhat is it? The third generation

of BMW’s retro hit small hatchback

Price from £15,300 On sale spring 2014

THE MODERN MINI attracts a very specific kind of customer, with its blend of ultra-responsive handling, stylised dashboard, customisation options and very modest practicality.

Now the company is aiming to broaden the car’s appeal – and persuade current owners to upgrade – with this all-new Mini.

How has it changed?

Due on sale in the spring, the third generation of the new Mini is 9.8cm longer, 4.4cm wider and 0.7cm taller than the outgoing model. It gets a fresh line-up of turbocharged

and between 92g/km and 95g/km of CO2 emissions.

A six-speed manual gearbox is standard gearbox on all Cooper models, but there will also be the option of a six-speed automatic and a six-speed, dual-clutch transmission called ‘sports automatic’.

The new Mini’s chassis set-up looks set to build on the outgoing model’s reputation for direct steering and good agility. Variable damper control will also be offered, potentially allowing drivers to soften the car’s trademark firm set-up.

The cabin gets improved materials throughout. The fascia changes a little, too, although it’s still clearly recognisable as a Mini dashboard. The speedometer moves from the central dial to a more conventional position ahead of the steering wheel, but the circular element remains.

petrol and diesel engines. The entry-level Mini Cooper gets a 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine producing 134bhp, while the more potent Mini Cooper S gets a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol unit with 189bhp.

Both petrol cars are quicker than the models they replace, but their CO2 emissions fall to as little as 104g/km in the case of the base Cooper.

The sole diesel option at launch is the Cooper D, which has a 1.5-litre three-cylinder motor producing 114bhp and 199lb ft. It delivers average fuel economy of 80.7mpg

Mini

It holds the car’s infotainment systems, which range from a relatively simple set-up to the widescreen sat-nav shown here. The rim of the dial itself contains coloured LEDs, which can change depending on what you’re doing.

Mini claims improved cabin space and greater practicality, with more cubbyholes and bottle holders, and a wider range of adjustment on the front seats. Access to the rear seats is also said to be easier than before, but judging from our test with our studio car, adults will still find it a struggle to clamber in and out.

Is it any more practical?

Boot space has increased to 211 litres, which is still poor for a small car. However, there are a few extra practical touches, such as the ability to raise and lower the boot floor (to increase space or reduce the lip you have to load items over).

The Cooper edition gets more standard equipment, including Bluetooth, front foglights, front and rear Isofix child seat mounting points, and an on-board computer. Keyless go is also standard on all models. Thankfully, the window switches have been moved from low down in the centre of the dashboard to the doors.

There will continue to be a wide range of options, customisations and packs to boost the Mini’s specification (and the final price). These will include the Storage Package, roof rails (a first on the Mini), bonnet stripes, contrasting roof colours (black and white are a no-cost option), a Harman Kardon sound system, leather upholstery and a head-up display.

Mini has already confirmed starting prices for the three models. The entry-level Cooper starts at £15,300, which is £400 more than the outgoing car. The new Cooper D starts at £16,450, slightly less than the current model, and the Cooper S costs from £18,650, around £500 more than the car it replaces.

Cheaper versions – in effect replacements for the Mini One and Mini First – will also appear in 2014, using detuned versions of the same engines.

UPDATING A CAR like the Mini can be a headache for manufacturers. The challenge lies in trying to hang on to those already loyal to the brand while also attracting new customers. It’s made even harder when the car in question is not just popular but iconic.

BMW has risen to the challenge and has just released the third-generation new Mini. It’s bigger, sleeker and more luxurious than the current car, while still very clearly a Mini.

We invited Mini owners and potential buyers of the new car to an exclusive viewing at the Cowley plant in Oxford.

CARIn detail

Even the slowest Macan

will get to 62mph in 6.3sec

What is it? Porsche hits the SUV

mainstream with its BMW X3 rival

Price from £43,300 On sale April 2014

GIVEN THE RUNAWAY sales success that is the Porsche Cayenne, it was only a matter of time before the company decided to enter the compact SUV market. The new Macan is the car that is set to steal sales from the likes of the BMW X3.

It’s about the same size as the X3, and there’s no mistaking it for anything but a Porsche. Indeed, many will see a lot of the Cayenne’s styling in the Macan, particularly the front end.

The rear is more distinctive, with slim, high-set LED lights, and short overhangs that give a more sporting look than most SUVs offer.

Both petrol models are powered by V6 bi-turbo engines. The Macan S gets a 3.0-litre unit that generates 335bhp and propels the car to 62mph in 5.4sec and returns 31.4mpg and emits 212g/km. Topping the range is the 394bhp 3.6-litre V6 Macan Turbo, which covers 0-62mph in 4.8sec, averages 30.7mpg and emits 216g/km.

It’s likely that the four-cylinder diesel and petrol engines from the Volkswagen Golf GTD and GTI will join the Macan range later in 2014, although these are yet to be confirmed.

All Macans come with on-demand four-wheel drive. In normal road use it sends all the power to the rear wheels, but up to 100% can be sent to the front wheels, or shuffled between axles as required.

There are various suspension set-ups across the range. Steel

Some chassis parts are shared with the Audi Q5, albeit substantially overhauled, and even though the Macan has an aluminium body it weighs almost the same as one of its rivals, the BMW X3 xDrive30d.

What’s under the bonnet?

From launch there will be two petrols and one diesel engine, and all come with a dual-clutch, seven-speed automatic gearbox as standard. The 3.0 V6 turbodiesel Macan S Diesel puts out 255bhp, covers the 0-62mph sprint in 6.3sec, averages 44.8mpg and emits 159g/km of CO2.

springs are standard on the Macan S and S Diesel, but buyers can opt to add electronically controlled adjustable dampers (dubbed PASM) for £785, which are fitted as standard to the Turbo. Air suspension is a £1789 option across the range.


Anyone familiar with the latest Porsche models will feel at home in the Macan. The central console houses neat rows of buttons and bisects the front cabin, which is otherwise dominated by the seven-inch touch-screen. Another, smaller colour screen is set into one of the three driver’s dials and shows everything from trip info to nav instructions.

Standard features include Alcantara and leather seats, a multifunction steering wheel and paddles, powered tailgate, an 11-speaker sound system, and USB input. However, you will have to pay £2007 to get sat-nav and an integrated 40GB hard drive on all but the Turbo model.

There’s also a range of optional safety equipment, including lane-departure warning and blind-spot assist, while the eight standard airbags include knee airbags for the driver and front passenger and head airbags in the front and rear.

The 40/20/40 rear bench can seat three, while the boot offers 500 litres of space with the seats in place and 1500 with them folded. That’s slightly less than the 550/1600 litres on offer in the BMW X3.

How much will it cost?

The Turbo tops the range at £59,300, but the bigger sellers will be the petrol and Diesel S, both of which cost £43,300. However, buyers may hesitate when they see that the base Cayenne Diesel is only £4k more than the admittedly quicker Macan S Diesel. The Macan also looks pricey next to the diesel-only BMW X3, at around £4000 more than the xDrive30d.

Even so, the Macan’s closest competitor will be the BMW X4 that arrives in the summer of 2014. Only time will tell if Porsche’s baby SUV can justify its price and the badge on its nose.

The 138bhp 1.4 is likely to be the best petrol

engine; we also rate the 148bhp 2.0 TDI

On French roads, and in SE spec, the Cabriolet

drives very well; we’ll test it in the UK soon

Audi A3 CabrioletWhat is it? New soft-top version of Audi’s Golf rival

Verdict One of the best open-tops on sale

THE AUDI A3 Cabriolet is a new open-top version of our 2013 Car of the Year. Like its predecessor, it has a fabric hood, which means it’s a direct rival for the likes of the BMW 1 Series Convertible and the VW Golf Cabriolet.

It goes on sale next April with a choice of three turbocharged engines: a 138bhp 1.4 petrol (which can deactivate two of its four cylinders when cruising to save fuel); a 178bhp 1.8 petrol; and a 148bhp 2.0 TDI diesel. A 103bhp 1.6 diesel and a more powerful 2.0 TDI with 181bhp will follow later.

What’s it like to drive?

Chopping the roof off a car often ruins the way it drives, but this isn’t the case with the A3 Cabriolet. It doesn’t shake or shudder along poorly surfaced roads anywhere near as much as some open-tops. In fact, on SE suspension – the softest of three available set-ups – it’s actually pretty comfortable.

it doesn’t shift as smoothly or as intelligently as the best modern autos. Thankfully, that extra weight hasn’t harmed CO2 emissions and fuel economy too much; in all forms the A3 Cabriolet is considerably more efficient than its closest rivals, the 1 Series Convertible and Golf Cabriolet.


The fabric hood takes around 18 seconds to fold and can be operated at up to 31mph. With the rood down and windows up, those in the front are well protected from buffeting – as long as you erect a rather inelegant wind deflector in the rear seat compartment.

You can’t fit this deflector if there are people sitting in the

We’ve yet to try the stiffer suspension options (Sport and S line) but based on our experience of the A3 hatchback and saloon, these are probably best avoided.

The necessary structural reinforcements mean the Cabrio is heavier the A3 hatch, but it still controls its body movements well in corners and has precise, consistently weighted steering.

Instead, the main drawback of that extra weight is the effect it has on performance. We tried a 123bhp 1.4 petrol turbo engine

STAR

CARDrive

(that won’t be coming to the UK) and it feels notably slower in the Cabriolet than the 120bhp version of the same engine that we’ve raved about in the A3 hatchback. True, it’s always smooth and quiet, but you have to work it that bit harder to get up to speed.

The 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel is much stronger, pulling hard from low revs and staying smooth at higher revs. The optional S tronic automatic gearbox is best avoided though;

back, at which point things do become a bit blowy for everyone. However, those sitting in the front can warm the backs of their necks using the optional active seat ventilation.

Put the roof up and the A3 Cabriolet keeps occupants pretty well isolated from wind and road noise – at least it did on the French roads we tested it on. However, it’s worth noting that the other versions of the A3 kick up road noise in the UK.

As with the previous A3 Cabriolet, there isn’t a huge amount of space in the back. Four adults will just about fit if the driver isn’t too tall, but those in the back will find their knees pressed up against the seats in front. Headroom isn’t great with the roof closed, either, but the A3 Cabriolet has a bigger boot than the Golf Cabriolet (there’s 275 litres of space with the hood down and 320 litres with it up) and split-folding rear seats come as standard.

The Cabriolet has the same smart cabin as other versions of the A3; every switch feels substantial and nicely damped, and the materials throughout the cabin are wonderfully classy, so anyone downsizing from a more expensive open-top – such as an Audi A5 or Mercedes E-Class – won’t feel at all shortchanged.

Should I buy one?

There aren’t many sub-£30k convertibles we’d strongly recommend buying, but the new A3 Cabriolet is definitely one of them. It’s good to drive, classy inside and fairly refined by open-top standards. It’s even good value, especially when you take into account how well it’s likely to hold on to its value.

Based on our experience with other versions of the A3, we suspect the 138bhp 1.4 turbo petrol will be the pick of the range, but all of the engines offer strong performance in other Audi models, so are unlikely to disappoint.

Unless you need to carry four adults regularly, then, there aren’t many reasons you shouldn’t get your order in before the A3 Cabriolet arrives in the UK next spring.

The BMW M3 was a dynamic

benchmark for the Mustang

STARCARIn detail

Ford MustangWhat is it? The all-new American muscle car made for Europe Price £30k (est) On sale spring 2015

FORD NOW SELLS the same cars all over the world, so buyers in China and America are now driving the same Fiesta and Focus we get. This policy works both ways, though, which means new models for us, such as this all-new Mustang which goes on sale in Europe from 2015.

For the first time this iconic American muscle car is being designed and engineered to match our tastes, and will be available with right-hand drive.

Being polished for Europe has meant a lot of changes, so quality has been greatly improved over the outgoing version. There’s also a turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine and far more sophisticated rear suspension, instead of the cruder set-ups we’ve seen before.

Mind you, it still keeps the faith in lots of ways. It looks wider, sleeker and lower than the outgoing model but both the coupé and convertible keep US-style proportions. Alongside the new four-cylinder engine, there’s an uprated version of

the venerable 5.0-litre V8. Both have a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, although a six-speed auto is also on offer.

Economy and exact power figures will be released closer to the 2015 on-sale date. However, Ford sources say the V8 is likely to have around 440bhp, hit 60mph in around five seconds and go on to a limited 155mph. The turbocharged car will have around 330bhp and have similar performance; engineers are trying to get its CO2 emissions below 220g/km.

The all-new chassis is far more sophisticated than those in previous Mustangs, and


WorldMags.net




Ford Mustang

company insiders say that it’s being tuned to ride smoothly on UK roads. Meanwhile, both the Porsche 911 and outgoing BMW M3 are cited as benchmarks for driver enjoyment.


Sitting in a Ford Mustang has always felt special. The good news is that’s still the case. A big difference now is that the most of what you see and touch is of a much higher quality. There are areas where an Audi A5 or BMW 4 Series feel classier, such as plastics shrouding the central tunnel where your arm rests, but most of the materials look and feel of a high standard.

You sit low in the car, making that long bonnet feel even longer, and seeing out and over your shoulder shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re really short of stature.

Most of the major functions are taken care of via a large central touch-screen or rotary controls. There’s also a pleasing nod to the past: the drive modes (normal, sport, track or wet) are operated with toggle switches.

Space is marginally better than in the outgoing model, with everyone getting a mite more kneeroom and shoulder space. It’s still not the easiest car to climb into the back of, but once you’re in it’s comfortable enough. Both the coupé and convertible are capable of carrying four adults.

If you opt for the soft-top the cloth roof is now easier and quicker to lower. It takes only seven seconds for the powered hood to go up or down, and it looks a lot tidier than before when it’s down. It’s disappointing, though, that you still have to unlock a latch to start the process – you don’t need to do this in most rivals.

What will it cost you?

Ford is tight-lipped about pricing. However, while the Mustang is a bargain-basement option in America – starting at less than £20,000 – our best guess is that prices will start at around £30,000.

You can, at least, expect it to be fulsomely equipped with the new infotainment system being standard. Unlike previous Mustangs there will also be

a large range of interior colours and trims for both cloth and leather options.

On looks alone the Mustang deserves to sell, but whether UK buyers will be willing to jump out of their Audis and BMWs for it is a different matter altogether. We’ll find out in early 2015.

MoT test: how to passSix easy pre-test steps to give your car the best chance of avoiding MoT test failure

1 Check your tyres One in 10 cars fails the MoT test due to tyre tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm. The owners of these cars face not only having to have them retested, but also a £2500 fine, plus three penalty points for each illegal tyre if pulled over. Check for tyre wear and other damage regularly; many tyres now have wear indicators, but if not you can buy a tread-depth gauge for less than £5.

2 Check your lightsFaulty lights and blown bulbs were responsible for around 9% of MoT test failures on three-year-old cars last year. Ask a friend to walk around the car while you test the headlights, sidelights, foglights, indicators, brake lights, and hazard warning lights. E

‘Sports cars have the highest pass rate’ MoT test

MoT test: how to pass3 Check the view One in 10 three-year-old cars failed the MoT test because the driver’s view was obscured for some reason. The biggest culprits were ineffective wipers, as well as windscreen chips and cracks. If your wipers are squeaking, or the rubber is split, change them – it won’t cost you much to do it yourself. Make sure

there’s no screen damage within the area swept by the wipers and remove all stickers from the screen.

4 Top up fluids Insufficient fluid in the windscreen washer reservoir led to a surprising number of MoT test failures in 2012; tens of thousands of cars failed on this minor and very easy

to remedy item. You should also make sure engine oil and fuel levels are plentiful enough (so no warning lights) for the MoT tester to carry out emissions tests with the engine running. If not, the test could be abandoned. E

MoT test: how to pass5 Check the registration plateMore than 45,000 MoT test failures were issued to cars taking their first test because of a problem with the registration plate.

The most common reasons for failure were deterioration, fading, or incorrectly spaced or obscured characters. Check plates are clean and legible, and replace them if necessary. A new set should cost less than £10. Check personal plates comply with the DVLA’s rules (www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates/overview).

6 Clean your carThe MoT tester can refuse to inspect your car if the boot has cargo or debris in it, or if it’s too dirty. In fact, 23,500 three-year-old cars were turned away in 2012 because of these reasons.

Give the windscreen, mirrors, lights and number plates a thorough wipe, too, and put all seats in the upright position. E

says...Think your three-year-old car hasn’t been around

the block enough to cost you at MoT test time?

Think again. Around one in six three-year-old cars

failed to make the grade, with an average four black

marks per car and, according to Halfords, an

average rectification bill of £72.

Up to 40% of failures could have been avoided

with just a few basic pre-MoT test checks. Almost

700,000 reasons for failure involved visible and

easy-to-fix problems such as worn tyres and wipers,

blown headlights and brake lights, chipped

windscreens, plus incorrect or damaged

numberplates. No fewer than 28,000 people

had cars that failed the MoT test because they’d

forgotten to top up the washer fluid.

The contenders

THE LATEST VOLKSWAGEN Golf was already one of the most efficient cars in its class, but this new Bluemotion model emits just 85g/km of CO2; it’s the cleanest mainstream VW ever.

Victory is far from guaranteed, though, because the Golf is up against the greenest version of our reigning Car of the Year, the Audi A3 Sportback.

The classy and frugal Volvo V40 D2 will also provide the Golf with tough competition, while Lexus’s petrol-electric CT200h sits in a lower tax band than all its rivals. E

Performance

Audi Lexus Volkswagen Volvo

Volkswagen’s previous Golf Bluemotion was hampered by its five-speed gearbox, but this new version has six gears, so the gaps between ratios aren’t so large. The result is much better driveability at low speeds, to the point where the Golf doesn’t feel at all compromised by its low-emissions mantra.

The 1.6-litre diesel engine’s flexibility also helps; it pulls hard from 1500rpm onwards. All of this means the Golf is ultimately the quickest car here.

The A3’s engine is closely related to the Golf’s, so it’s hardly surprising that it also performed well in our acceleration tests. Due to slightly different tuning, it doesn’t have quite as much outright power. However, the A3 has an identical amount of torque, and its slightly shorter gearing makes it even happier to pull from low revs.

Despite having a power advantage over both German cars, the V40 is noticeably slower. Its engine feels decidedly flat if you let the revs drop below 1750rpm, although the V40 can keep pace with fast-moving traffic if you change gear a lot.

Instead, it’s the CT200h that disappoints most. Floor the throttle and there’s a lengthy pause before the CVT automatic gearbox finds the optimum revs and the 1.8-litre petrol engine starts to help the electric motor deliver an increase in speed.

The Audi might not be as quick as the Golf, but its

shorter gearing means it pulls well from low revs

Lexus is easily the slowest of the bunch, with its

CVT automatic gearbox blunting performance

The Golf is ultimately the quickest of the four,

and pulls almost as well as the Audi from low revs

The Volvo’s 1.6 engine gives adequate performance,

but the Volvo can’t keep up with the Audi or VW

Audi A3 Sportback vs Lexus CT200h vsVolkswagen Golf vs Volvo V40

Ride & handling


The A3 and Golf might be built on the same platform, but they’re different to drive. The A3 is the sportier of the pair, with precise, well-weighted steering and superb body control. What’s more, it offers loads of grip, so quick direction changes can be carried out without drama.

True, there’s a price to pay for this composure in the form of a slightly firm low-speed ride. However, as long as you stick with the SE suspension (standard on this trim and a no-cost option on Sport and S line models), the A3 is comfortable enough on all but the worst roads.

As for the VW, it has lower suspension than other Golfs to help it slip through the air with less resistance. Impressively, though, it glides over lumps and bumps almost as smoothly, thanks to smaller wheels with high-profile tyres. In fact, few cars in any class keep you as well isolated from Britain’s roads.

The standard energy-saving tyres don’t provide a great deal of grip, but the steering weights up consistently as you turn into bends and body movements are kept neatly in check in bends.

The Volvo feels outclassed in this exalted company. Our biggest complaint concerns the ride, which is pattery and unsettled at all speeds. The optional 17-inch alloys fitted to our test car no doubt amplified the problem, but our experience with the standard car (which rides on 16s) isn’t much better.

The V40 does at least grip well, and it stays relatively upright through corners, but its slow, vague steering puts a barrier between you and any fun.

Still, it’s better to drive than the CT200h. This has very firm suspension that lets you feel every little imperfection in the road, while sharp-edged bumps send jolts into the cabin.

You might imagine that such a stiff set-up would give tidy handling, but in reality the CT200h is the least fun to drive. Its steering is unnecessarily heavy at low speeds and far too vague the rest of the time. E

Behind the wheel


All of these cars have enough seat and steering wheel adjustment to let most drivers get comfortable, although none has adjustable lumbar support and the Golf’s seats are short on lower back support.

You sit higher in the V40 than you do in its rivals, but despite this, your vision to the rear

Infotainment systems


three-quarters is restricted by the sloping roofline and shallow rear window. The CT200h fares marginally better in this respect. However, it’s the more upright, squared-off cabins of the A3 and Golf that give their occupants the best all-round view.

The V40 is further undermined by a dashboard that features lots of small buttons which are fiddly to use and hard to tell apart at a glance, while the fact that some of the systems are controlled via the indicator stalk also complicates things.

It’s easier to navigate the dashboard of the CT200h, but it could still be more intuitive. There are lots of buttons for the climate control system, and the dial that controls the vehicle’s dynamic setting is unnecessarily large.

The Golf makes life much easier, with an uncluttered dash and three simple rotary dials for its air-conditioning. Meanwhile, the A3’s layout, which combines clearly labelled control knobs with a single row of switches, also works well.

Volvo V40

A rotary dial and

various shortcut

buttons help you

navigate round the

V40’s system, but

the menu layouts

aren’t intuitive

Like most Golfs, the Bluemotion

comes with a 5.8-inch colour

touch-screen, which you use to

operate its Bluetooth system

and digital radio. All of the

menus are logically laid out and

clearly presented, although it

does take some time to get used

to the way the screen zooms in

on icons as you reach for them.

What will irritate many more

buyers is the fact that you can’t

add sat-nav to the Bluemotion,

and Volkswagen is the only

manufacturer here that charges

extra for steering wheel-

mounted audio controls (£400)

and a USB connector (£38).

Yes, it does fit a dedicated

iPod/iPhone socket, but this isn’t

compatible with the iPhone 5;

you’ll need the USB connector.

Like the Golf, the CT200h

can’t be equipped with sat-nav

unless you upgrade to one of

the more expensive trims, and

it’s also the only car here that

doesn’t come with a colour

screen or digital radio; the

latter is a £360 option.

Even in higher-spec CTs you

need to add the £1995 Lexus

Premium Navigation System (as

shown in our pictures) to get all

this kit. S-spec models make do

with an old-school stereo with

a slim blue-backlit readout,

although this is at least simpler

to use than the mouse-like

controller in high-end cars.

The A3’s MMI system is much

more user-friendly. You scroll

through well-ordered menus

using a rotary dial and some

handy shortcut buttons. Even

minor functions are easy to find.

As a bonus, the A3 lets you

control some functions by

issuing voice commands (only

the CT200h matches it here),

and sat-nav is available for a

very reasonable £495. The one

slight disappointment is the fact

that the A3 has no CD player.

Volvo takes a similar

approach to Audi, linking

a rotary dial to onscreen menus.

Unfortunately, its system is

slower to respond to commands

and has too many layers of

convoluted sub-menus. As

a result, tasks such as setting

up Bluetooth audio streaming

or altering the settings on the

£1200 navigation system take

longer than they should. E

All of these cars come with alloy

electric front windows, but the

Golf misses out on electric rear

windows – they’re a £170 option.

The fact that parking sensors

cost extra on the A3, Golf and

V40 is also disappointing, while

Lexus doesn’t ofer them at all

on the CT200h we’re testing.

As some compensation,

Lexus does fit automatic

windscreen wipers and

dual-zone climate control,

whereas auto wipers are

missing from all its rivals and

only the V40 matches the

CT200h in having climate

control instead of basic,

single-zone air-con.

Cruise control is available for

a little more than £200 on the

A3, Golf and V40, but you’ll have

to go for the Audi or Volvo if you

want an adaptive system that

keeps you at a set distance from

the car in front. This costs £575

on the A3, and is part of a £1900

Driver Support Pack on the V40.

Like most new cars, these

hatchbacks all earned five-star

ratings when they were crash

tested by Euro NCAP. However,

the Golf was rated particularly

highly for child protection, while

adults fared best in the V40.

The Volvo also performed

best in the pedestrian

protection test, which is hardly

surprising, because it’s the

first car in the world with

a pedestrian airbag that covers

the windscreen and front pillars

in an efort to minimise injuries.

Just as impressive, the V40

comes with a City Safety system

that uses sensors to detect

when a low-speed collision is

imminent and automatically

applies the brakes. The only

other car here that’s available

with this is the A3; it’s part of

the optional adaptive cruise

control system.

As for security, all four cars

have deadlocks, an engine

immobiliser and locking

wheelnuts, while only VW

charges extra for an alarm.

Option prices

Quality and reliability


The Bluemotion is based on the cheapest, S-spec version of the Golf, which means it gets a rather drab interior. There’s also an unsightly array of plastic blanking plates around the gearlever. However, the cabin does at least feel well built.

It’s a similar story in the CT200h. The build is hard to

fault, but there’s lots of flat black plastic on the centre console and some cheap-feeling materials around the door handles.

Instead, it’s the A3 that sets the standard for perceived quality, thanks to beautifully damped switchgear and an array of materials that wouldn’t look out of place in much pricier machinery. A super-slim infotainment screen, which glides out of the top of the dash when you start the engine, merely adds to the impression that no expense has been spared.

The V40 runs the A3 close. Its dashboard looks clean and modern, and it blends metal finishes with soft-touch plastics to create an appreciably high-end aura.

None of these cars is old enough to feature in the most recent JD Power customer satisfaction survey (What Car?, July 2013), but all four brands were given above-average ratings. Lexus did particularly well, finishing second out of 37, while Volvo was seventh, Volkswagen ninth and Audi 13th.

Refinement


Refinement has always been one of the Golf’s biggest strengths, and the new Bluemotion doesn’t change that, because it keeps wind and road noise well subdued. You can hear the suspension working away over patchy road surfaces, but the engine stays smooth and quiet in all types of driving.

The A3’s engine is even more refined. It’s slightly quieter than the Golf’s, and transmits less vibration through the pedals and the steering column when you accelerate. As a bonus, the A3 is just as good as the Golf at shutting out wind noise, but its bigger wheels and lower-profile tyres generate considerably more roar at motorway speeds.

Road noise is also a problem in the V40, and you hear the wind whistling past its door mirrors at anything above 50mph. It’s a shame, because the V40’s engine is actually very smooth and remains hushed as you accelerate up to speed.

Thanks to its hybrid powertrain, the CT200h can run on battery power alone at low speeds, so it’s virtually silent in slow-moving traffic. Sadly, that’s the only time it’s even remotely hushed. Even gentle acceleration causes the petrol engine to kick in and drone loudly. You can’t even maintain a steady motorway cruise without the engine whining away, while road noise is also a big problem.

The CVT automatic gearbox in the Lexus is at least relatively smooth, while the six-speed manual ’boxes in the Audi and Volkswagen have a slick and precise action. Only the Volvo is a disappointment in this area, with a notchy gearshift and a decidedly spongy clutch pedal. E

Space and practicality


Six-footers will fit comfortably in the front of all these cars, but the A3 and Golf offer more head- and legroom than their rivals, so they’re the better options if you’re particularly tall.

Sadly, the rear of the CT200h is best left to children, because kneeroom is in short supply.

The A3 and Golf are much more accommodating here, with the Volkswagen shading the Audi by a tiny margin. However, even the V40 is spacious enough to keep most adults happy.

Where the Volvo is a disappointment is in the boot. There’s room for just 335 litres of luggage with the rear seats up, although you can add a variable floor for £100. This lets you change the load height and can be folded up to provide bag hooks and to divide the bay.

The CT200h’s boot is 40 litres bigger than the V40’s, but it’s actually no more practical, because it’s shallower and has a narrower opening.

Instead, it’s the A3 and Golf that set the standard once again, with each offering good access and 380 litres of space behind the seats.

Both German cars also get variable-height boot floors as standard, but the Golf’s 1270-litre carrying capacity with the seats folded is 50 litres up on the A3’s, and vastly more than either the CT200h or V40 offer.

The one regret is that the Bluemotion isn’t available with the spacesaver spare tyre that all other Golf models have; it gets a tyre-sealant kit instead. You can’t have a spacesaver in the Lexus, either, while Volvo charges £150. Only Audi gives you a spare wheel as standard. E

Audi A3 Sportback vs Lexus CT200h vsVolkswagen Golf vs Volvo V40

Group test

Buying and owning


The CT200h has the highest list price of the four, but it’s still the cheapest to run as a company car, because its petrol-electric drivetrain lets it escape the 3% surcharge that’s applied to its diesel rivals.

This surcharge puts the V40 and Golf three tax bands above the CT200h, and means they’ll

currently cost 40% taxpayers an extra £190 and £211 a year respectively. Meanwhile, the A3 sits a further band higher, and costs an extra £303.

If you pay for your own fuel, the CT200h offers a further financial incentive, because our True MPG tests show that it’s the most frugal in real-world driving, returning almost 60mpg. That said, even the least efficient car in the test – the A3 – can manage almost 55mpg.

In fact, if you’re a private buyer, the A3 works out cheaper

than both the CT200h and the V40 in the long run, thanks to its strong resale values. Only the Golf will cost you less because it’s available with the biggest discounts of the lot and it’s the cheapest to service and insure.

All four cars come with the reassurance of a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty, while the CT200h also has a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty on its hybrid components. Sadly, the Golf gets just one year’s roadside assistance, whereas its rivals come with three years’. E

In the past, you had to put up with a compromised driving experience if you bought an eco special like the Golf Bluemotion. However, this new version proves that’s no longer the case, because it combines its low CO2 with flexible performance and a supple ride.

The latest Bluemotion is as practical as any Golf, too. In fact, the only thing that really lets it down is Volkswagen’s decision to base it on the entry-level S trim; this means the seats aren’t supportive enough and you

don’t get much equipment for your money.

It’s enough to hand victory to the A3 Sportback. The A3 might not be quite as efficient as the Golf, but it’s still a very affordable option as both a company car and a private buy. What’s more, the A3 comes with more standard kit, a simpler infotainment system and one of the classiest cabins around. It’s a sensational all-rounder.

The V40 has to settle for third place. As you’d expect from a Volvo, it scores well for safety,

plus the V40 has a smooth engine and an appealing interior. It’s let down by its fiddly infotainment system and notchy gearshift, and it’s not as good to drive as the A3 or Golf.

The CT200h has bigger issues, most notably the dreadful ride and refinement, while the sluggish performance also disappoints. It’s a pity, because the CT’s hybrid drivetrain makes it the cheapest company car here.

An updated CT is on its way, but Lexus will need to change much more than just the looks.

The contenders

NEW

REMEMBER WHAT THE Mini did for superminis? Well, the BMW i3 could be about to do the same thing for electric cars.

Available with an electric-only powertrain or with a two-cylinder petrol engine that can generate additional electricity when the batteries run low, the i3

is designed to offer a premium experience that’s affordable, too.

BMW has also given it a tall body in an effort to provide family-friendly practicality, while the i3’s low kerb weight and rear-wheel-drive layout hint at entertaining handling.

Even so, victory is far from assured. After a recent price cut, Vauxhall’s Ampera is cheaper than the petrol-electric version of the i3 that we’re testing here, despite promising the same benefits: tiny company car tax bills, enough pure electric range to cover the daily commute and the reassurance of a back-up engine. So is the i3 really a game-changer?

What are they like to drive?With a single-ratio gearbox and maximum torque available from rest, progress is rapid and linear in both the Ampera and the i3. The BMW is the faster, delivering hot hatch pace. In fact, the i3 feels surprisingly hot hatch-like a lot of the time.

Its steering is well weighted and quick to respond to inputs – so quick, in fact, that it can make the car feel a touch nervous on the motorway. However, it also makes it agile and fun to drive on twisty roads.

Stiff suspension helps, keeping body roll to a minimum. Unfortunately, you pay for this composure with a firm ride; bigger bumps thump through �

Twin test

the cabin, although it isn’t too bad most of the time.

The Ampera, on the other hand, is a softer, less focused offering. It soaks up potholes more effectively than the i3, and while the Ampera’s steering is slower and a little vague, the handling is predictable and composed enough.

It takes time to get used to the way the i3 slows down, due to the heavy engine-braking effect that’s engineered in to recover energy whenever you lift off the accelerator pedal. The Ampera feels more conventional here unless you select its maximum engine-braking mode, but the brake pedal response is inconsistent and hard to modulate regardless.

Actual stopping power is also disappointing, with the Ampera taking five metres longer than the i3 to stop from 70mph in our braking tests.

However, both cars are eerily quiet when they’re running on pure electric power, and even when the engines cut in, refinement remains impressive. The i3’s two-cylinder engine note is a bit more noticeable than the Ampera’s four-cylinder motor’s, but this is mainly due to the unusual sound it makes – rather like a helicopter in the distance.

What are they like inside?Both cabins feel suitably futuristic, thanks to pulsing, backlit buttons and warning bongs that would do George Lucas proud. However, the i3 combines this theatricality with an aura of quality the Ampera doesn’t have.

The i3 is more user-friendly, too, with well-placed switchgear and BMW’s intuitive iDrive rotary controller, which lets you scroll through menus on a colour screen. Even the separate digital display that shows information like your speed and range is easy to read at a glance.

Features that you won’t find on any other BMW include a steering column-mounted gear selector that also houses the starter button, and the option of some eco-chic materials including eucalyptus wood, wool and plant fibre-based panels.

The Ampera, by contrast, makes do with coloured, gloss plastic inserts, while its centre

console features touch-sensitive panels instead of conventional switchgear; they look good, but are fiddly to use and poorly labelled. Finding a comfortable driving position is easy enough in both cars. However, you sit higher in the i3 and it’s much easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces, thanks to deep windows

and a boxy body shape that helps you judge where the extremities of the car are. In the Ampera, steeply raked pillars and a narrow rear screen leave you with big blind spots.

Both of these cars are designed to carry four people; however, access to the i3’s rear seats is a real selling point, with its rear-hinged doors leaving a broad, pillar-free opening.

You need to be more flexible to get into the back of the Ampera, but adult rear passengers will find it the more comfortable car once they’re inside, because it offers significantly more legroom. Both boots have high load floors due to the batteries �

How far will they go on electric power?

We did our range test over a varied route of town, motorway and

B-road, with the outside temperature a wintry three degrees.

What’s more, we had the headlights, heaters and stereos on, and

the cars in their default drive settings.

The test was about as range-draining as it gets, then, yet the i3

still managed 56.6 miles before its engine cut in, and the Ampera

28.2. In both cars, you could expect to go at least half as far again

in optimum conditions.

While the i3 doubles the Ampera’s pure electric range, some

will find the 80-mile petrol range ofered by the BMW’s tiny

nine-litre tank frustrating. On the other hand, the Ampera’s 35-litre

tank and 1.4-litre petrol engine should get you over 250 miles

between fill-ups.

Both cars come with standard three-point plugs, but it

takes around eight hours to charge them from a conventional

domestic socket. A home-fitted fast charger costs £315 for

the i3 or £462 for the Ampera, and will halve the time needed

for a full charge.

Should I buy an electric i3 or a range-extender?

If you’re taken with the BMW, it’s worth considering the pure

electric model. At £25,680, it’s £3150 cheaper than the range-

extender and ofers the same peppy 168bhp performance.

It’s also even cheaper as a company car, at just £204 per year.

Whether you can live without the reassurance of the petrol

motor is a question of individual needs, but given the BMW’s

decent electric range, the electric-only model is certainly the

better option for those motorists that have access to a petrol

or diesel-powered car for longer journeys.

beneath, but with 300 litres available in the Ampera and 275 in the i3, there’s enough room for a decent-sized shopping trip.

Standard equipment is impressive in both. Alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB socket, a DAB radio, climate control and automatic lights and wipers are standard, while BMW also fits sat-nav. Ampera buyers have to upgrade to Electron trim (which carries a £1745 premium) to get sat-nav.

How much will they cost?After the £5000 Government discount, the i3 costs £28,830 and the Ampera £28,255 (this includes an additional saving that you can haggle at Vauxhall dealers).

Vauxhall doesn’t offer official finance packages for the Ampera, whereas BMW has a PCP deal that, after you put down a £5000

deposit, costs £367 per month for three years.

The i3 also has an advantage when it comes to resale values. It’s expected to be worth around £12,500 after three years, £1000 more than the Ampera.

However, buyers should bear in mind that these cars won’t necessarily work out cheaper than the best diesel alternatives.

An Audi A3 1.6 TDI costs £6455 less upfront. True, 36,000 miles of diesel will cost £4200 at today’s prices, whereas the same distance of pure-electric driving costs around £950, at £1.50 per charge. However, that’s still not enough to make up for the difference in purchase price.

Where the i3 and Ampera do make sense is as company cars. Both are taxed on just 5% of their value, which means they’ll cost a 40% taxpayer £56 per month.

electric range; fun to drive

Against: Firm ride;

tiny petrol tank

Verdict: The new electric

car benchmark

For: Comfy, cabin space;

better overall range

Against: Poor visibility;

Verdict: Still good, but

the i3 makes more sense

Our verdictIf you’re looking for an electric car that won’t leave you suffering from range anxiety, these two are both worth considering. However, the i3 is more rewarding to drive, can go farther on electric-only power and is much nicer to sit in. True, it’s not as spacious or comfortable as the Ampera, but the i3 is more suited to town driving thanks to its more compact dimensions and better visibility.

List price £140,900


Bentley’s new 616bhp Flying

Spur promises luxury limo

refinement and supercar pace.

Range Rover

5.0 V8 Supercharged

List price £98,430


The range-topping Range Rover

undercuts the Bentley by £42k.

Can it compete on luxury, though?

The contenders FOR MOST LUXURY car buyers, a Mercedes S-Class or a diesel Range Rover will more than suffice, but what if money really is no object? What if you want the best and don’t mind paying through the nose to get it?

That’s the sort of well-heeled customer Bentley is looking to impress with the new Flying Spur. It’s been engineered to address criticisms of its predecessor, with revised suspension, a new eight-speed automatic gearbox and better insulation for the cabin.

The question is, do you really need to spend the £140,000 that the Flying Spur costs, or does the range-topping Range

Rover Autobiography do the same job (or an even better one) for a lot less?

What are they like to drive?The Flying Spur’s 616bhp W12 engine gives it enough pace to embarrass most supercars. It rockets away from a standstill, passing 60mph in 4.2 seconds before topping out at 200mph. That’s an astonishing feat for a luxury saloon that weighs the best part of 2.5 tonnes.

In fact, the Flying Spur is so heavy it makes the 2.3-tonne Range Rover look something of a bantamweight. This big SUV has considerably less power at its disposal (503bhp), so

Despite its vast 22-inch wheels, the Range Rover fidgets slightly less at low speeds, but more wind and road noise makes it into the cabin, and its automatic gearbox is jerkier than the Flying Spur’s at town speeds. That said, the Flying Spur’s suspension is noisier than the Range Rover’s on less-than-perfect roads.

What are they like inside?The Flying Spur’s lavish wood veneers, organ-stop air vent controls and hand-stitched hide seats punch home the old-money message, as does the analogue Breitling clock that takes pride of place on top of the dash. However, given that Bentley has gone to such trouble to create plush surroundings, it’s a pity the switchgear feels so low-rent. Most of the buttons

and knobs on the centre console would look shoddy in a Volkswagen Golf, let alone a £140,000 super-limo. The infotainment system is also disappointing; it has a dim screen and a rather unresponsive touch-screen interface.

Having said that, the touch-screen system in the Range Rover is even worse; it has a more convoluted menu system and is just as slow to respond. The majority of switches and knobs do have a more solid action than those in the Flying Spur, but while the cabin is tastefully trimmed in high quality materials, it can’t match the Bentley’s tailored feel.

It’s easy to get comfortable behind the wheel of either car, although they have very different driving positions. You sit relatively upright in the Range Rover, with a penthouse view �

performance isn’t quite as ballistic, but it’ll still out-accelerate a Porsche Cayman and hit 140mph.

Come to a corner, though, and the Range Rover simply can’t mask its considerable height. Its nose pitches forward more under heavy braking, and there’s a lot more body sway through tight turns. The Range Rover also has less grip, so while you’d hardly describe the Flying Spur as agile or that rewarding to drive, it can munch its way along a country road at a much faster rate.

For the majority of buyers, though, comfort and refinement will be the priorities, and the Flying Spur has a clear edge here. It rides on relatively small 19-inch wheels, which help soak up bigger bumps very well. However, the ride isn’t quite as settled as we’d like along patchy urban roads, and you feel every

Bentley Flying Spur vs Range Rover Twin test

Bentley’s rear seats offer plenty of legroom for two; the boot is tiny

compared with the Range Rover’s, but it still holds a decent amount

Range Rover can play the luxury limo role, but rear seats aren’t as

comfortable or as supportive; powered split tailgate aids loading


of the road ahead and better all-round-visibility. The Flying Spur, meanwhile, will appeal to those who prefer a lower-slung, more cocooned environment.

If you’re buying these cars to ride in the back, you’ll want the Flying Spur. Not only does it provide you with much more space to stretch your legs, it also has more comfortable and relaxing seats.

The Range Rover has the much bigger boot; the Flying Spur’s is shallower, although it’s still big enough for a couple of medium-sized suitcases.

What will they cost me? Even wealthy folk will raise an eyebrow at the extra £42k it costs to buy the Flying Spur.

Unsurprisingly, the Bentley is predicted to lose more money during the first three years, but

a much smaller amount than its price premium. Considering this and all the other running costs you’re likely to encounter – fuel, insurance, servicing and tax – the difference during the first three years drops to £16,000.

Both cars come loaded with standard luxuries, including four-zone climate control, xenon headlights, four electrically adjustable and heated seats, and front and rear parking sensors.

The Flying Spur adds electric rear window blinds and a removable touch-screen for rear passengers, which allows them to adjust the temperature in their corner of the car.

The Range Rover has a heated steering wheel, a TV tuner, a rear-view camera and adaptive cruise control as standard. These are all expensive options on the Flying Spur.

Our verdictThe new Flying Spur isn’t without its flaws; it doesn’t ride as smoothly as the best luxury cars and most of the buttons on the dashboard feel downright cheap. However, the Bentley blends supercar pace with limo refinement far better than the Range Rover, and isn’t that much more expensive to own after you’ve factored in depreciation.

The contenders

NEW

SKODA’S REGULAR RAPID offers huge space for an attractive price. Unfortunately, it doesn’t ride well enough and the cabin feels cheap.

So, while the new Rapid Spaceback is slightly smaller and more expensive, it still has the potential to be the better option. Not only has Skoda revised the suspension in an effort to improve comfort, but you’re getting a more stylish car with a classier cabin and a longer list of standard kit.

It’s not like the Spaceback is an expensive choice. Even with the price hike over the regular Rapid, the model we’re testing costs nearly £500 less than our other

contender, the entry-level Hyundai i30. The Hyundai is one of our favourite family hatchbacks, particularly in this 1.4 Classic five-door form.

What are they like to drive?The Spaceback has a smaller engine than the i30 but, thanks to a turbocharger, it pulls more eagerly from low revs and requires fewer gearchanges. In fact, the i30 feels distinctly flat when you pull away from rest, and its gearshift and pedals are less precise, so it’s the more difficult car to drive smoothly in stop-start traffic.

Drive over some poorly surfaced roads, and the Hyundai completely turns the tables. It has a settled ride at all times and is brilliant at soaking up bumps, whereas the Spaceback shimmies over patched-up surfaces and really thumps over potholes.

The i30 also has a smoother and quieter engine than the Spaceback. It generates more road noise, though, so the Skoda is quieter at higher speeds.

What are they like inside?Each car gives the driver a wide range of seat and steering wheel adjustment. However, the Spaceback’s seat bases are too

short and flat, and many people will feel that its backrests don’t offer enough lower back support on long journeys.

The Spaceback does give those in the back more head- and legroom than the i30, but both cars can carry four adults in relative comfort.

When it comes to loading luggage, the Spaceback wins the boot space race, but the i30 still has enough room for a couple of suitcases or a folded pushchair. It’s also easier to load the i30’s boot because it has the wider opening.

The i30 also has the classier-looking dashboard, which is built from soft rather than hard plastics, so it’s more pleasant to interact with.

These two are entry-level models, so you won’t find any touch-screen infotainment systems to get your head �

Hyundai i10 vs Skoda Rapid Spaceback Twin test

There’s space for four adults to sit comfortably in the i30, and the rear

seats split 60/40; with them up the boot is large and square in shape

The Spaceback’s boot doesn’t just look big in this test, it’s one of

the biggest in the class. Adults have masses of rear legroom, too


around in either car. Instead, they feature simple stereos. There aren’t too many buttons to confuse on either, but the i30’s are positioned higher up than the Spaceback’s, so you don’t have to look away from the road for as long to use them.

Both cars come with six airbags, an alarm, remote central locking, air-conditioning and electric front windows. However, only the i30 also gets Bluetooth, a USB socket, LED daytime running lights, a multi-function steering wheel and electrically adjustable, heated door mirrors.

What will they cost you?The Sportback is almost £500 cheaper than the i30, and our Target Price mystery shoppers were able to get around £1400 off it at dealers, compared with £1200 off the i30. The savings are

even bigger at online brokers; there’s currently more than £2800 to be saved on the i30 and similar savings are to be expected on the Spaceback.

Both cars are expected to retain around 40% of their value over three years, and the i30 sits in insurance group seven, whereas the Spaceback is in group 10. However, you’ll face lower road tax and fuel bills with the Skoda, so it should still cost around £1300 less overall over three years.

Company car drivers are unlikely to go for the engines tested here, but if they do they’ll be better off with the Skoda. Its lower CO2 emissions put it in the 15% tax bracket, as opposed to 19% for the i30. That will cost a 20% tax payer around £380 less in company car tax over three years.

For Comfortable ride;

classy dash; long kit list

Against Vague steering;

flat from rest; road noise

Verdict Better to drive

and to live with

For Large boot; good rear

legroom; accurate steering

Against Firm ride;

hard plastics; flat seats

Verdict Well priced,

but too many flaws

Our verdictThe Rapid Spaceback makes less sense the pricier it becomes, so this entry-level model is the pick of the range, offering a healthy dose of practicality while remaining affordable to own. However, the i30 is hardly small or expensive, and it’s a better all-rounder, with a classier cabin and a more comfortable ride. It also comes very well equipped, considering it’s the cheapest model in the range, so it’s the winner here.

Verdict

Volkswagen’s funky city car is

economical and spacious. The smooth

ride and good refinement mean it’s also

great to drive, and economy is impressive.

Verdict

The Clio offers smooth and flexible

engines, and most versions are affordable

to run. The touch-screen system fitted to

high-end models is packed with features.

Verdict

The Fiesta is a sensational supermini. It

rides comfortably and handles brilliantly.

It’s stylish inside and out, and there are

some cracking discounts available.

Verdict

The Suzuki Swift is a smart-looking small

car that handles well. It’s also keenly

priced and well equipped for the money.

Running costs will be affordable, too.

Car chooser

Buyer’s notes

Like all of these cars, the Up was given the maximum five stars by Euro NCAP. It averages 60.1mpg, and the cabin is very smart, while strong resale values make it a wise buy.

Buyer’s notes

Affordability is the Ecoboost Fiesta’s strong point, with 65.7mpg fuel economy and 99g/km CO2 emissions. Zetec trim brings air-con, front electric windows, and alloys.

Buyer’s notes

The Clio costs slightly more to buy and insure than the other options here, but its super-efficient diesel engine returns more than 80mpg and emits just 90g/km of CO2.

Buyer’s notes

This Swift comes with air-con, alloy wheels, electric windows and a USB connection, and healthy discounts are available. Cabin quality could be better but you can’t argue with the kit.

Verdict

The Skoda Citigo is a fantastic city car

that feels grown-up to drive and has a

solidly built interior. It shares its oily bits

with the VW Up, but is cheaper to buy.

Verdict

The Kia Rio feels impressively grown up

for a supermini. Its stylish interior is

roomy enough for four adults to sit

comfortably, and it’s good value.

Verdict

The Honda Jazz gives you masses of

space and a versatile interior, despite its

compact size. Resale values are strong

and it should prove very reliable.

Verdict

An awful lot of car for not much money.

The i10 is good to drive, cheap to run, well

equipped and impressively spacious.

However, it’s being replaced in January.

Read full reviews on whatcar.com

Buyer’s notes

The Citigo gets many of the benefits of the Volkswagen Up; it’s spacious and well built. We’d stick to this lower-powered version for its better economy and cheaper insurance.

Buyer’s notes

This 1.4-litre petrol has more power than the range’s smaller 1.2, but with no drop in fuel economy. Si trim comes with lots of equipment and all-round visibility is good.

Buyer’s notes

The Rio gets six airbags and stability control as standard, and a large-for-the-class 288-litre boot. This 1 Air model comes with air-con, a USB socket and electric front windows.

Buyer’s notes

All-round visibility is superb and the i10’s light steering makes town driving a doddle. Classic trim brings air-con, electric front windows and a CD player with USB port.

APPEARANCE IS ALL to some people. While my personal style might sometimes leave a little to be desired, over the past year I’ve been confident of cutting a bit of a dash on the image-conscious streets of south London because of my Peugeot 208.

However, we wanted to see if the 208 could offer more than just a pretty face. We chose Allure trim – the third spec up from the bottom – and we picked the three-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol that promised economy and around-town peppiness.

The 208’s beauty wasn’t just skin deep; the interior wowed many a passenger. Not only did it look nice, it also felt nice. I was impressed with the tactile qualities of the materials throughout the cabin – especially

the heater seemed incapable of demisting the windscreen. I could have lived with this if it had just taken longer to clear than I was used to, but on several occasions I arrived at the office after an hour-long commute with large swathes of glass still steamed up. I asked my local Peugeot garage to take a look, but the technicians there were unable to find a problem.

those I came into contact with regularly, such as on the steering wheel and the gearlever. The smart, silver detailing might be plastic, but it adds to the overall quality, taking the cabin up a notch from lower-specced 208s. The sports seats of the Allure trim are an absolute triumph, and earned universal praise from all who sat in them.

Sadly, function didn’t always follow form. The little Peugeot’s cabin had some frustrating drawbacks. In the colder months,

Peugeot 208 final report

seemed to work, I decided to get it checked out. It turned out to be a known issue, but it still took two trips to Peugeot dealer Robins and Day in Clapham to get it sorted.

Initially, it was suggested a new screen would be required, but then it was decided a software update would suffice. However, the error quickly resurfaced, so a replacement screen was needed after all.

These were the only two major niggles the 208 suffered during its time with us (a squeaky seat was a minor irritant), but it still had a hard time winning over the What Car? staffers.

One of the most divisive elements was the steering wheel, and how it blocked the view of the dash dials for around half my colleagues. Taller drivers were able to see past it okay, but shorter ones, or those who like to sit lower in their seats, found their view compromised.

It was a real shame because I loved the tiny wheel. Combined with the steering’s sharp responses, it gave the Peugeot a really sporty feel.

That’s not to say the 208 was fun to drive. There was lots of body roll, while the harsh ride made speed bumps and potholes tiresome. Worst of all was the high-set clutch. This proved almost impossible to release smoothly without massively revving the 82bhp petrol motor or bunny-hopping away.

This resulted in a lot of engine noise around town, with the three-cylinder thrum a regular accompaniment. Things were better on the motorway, where the 208 settled into a refined long-distance cruiser.

As for practicality, the 208 was a mixed bag. At 285 litres, the boot space is up with the best in the car’s class, and there were few complaints about rear legroom. Cabin storage is poor, though – the tiny glovebox struggled to hold much more than the pair of gloves it’s named after.

These issues, along with the poor driving experience, left the biggest impressions during our year with the 208. It might be a looker, but that couldn’t make up for the downsides.

The swiping action needed to scroll through the touch-screen menus is a nuisance. It’s tricky to do accurately, which makes it awkward to operate on the move because you have to spend too much time looking down.

CAR MANUFACTURERS CAN be guilty of offering too much choice when it comes to their model ranges. It’s easy to get bewildered by the many engine and trim permutations. If you get it wrong, you could be left regretting your decision for ages.

However, I’m looking forward to life with my new Seat Leon SC,

because we already know that the 1.4 TSI 140 FR is the absolute sweet spot in the range. So far, I can see where they are coming from. On paper, the spec had me excited several months before the car even arrived with us.

The 1.4-litre petrol engine was one of the main reasons for my animation. With CO2 emissions of 119g/km and claimed average economy of 54.3mpg, it slots into VED band C, which means a free tax disc this year and an annual outlay of only £30 thereafter. Given my commute and the fact that the vast majority of

Seat Leon SCWe’re already chuffed with our warm hatch – it’s going to be a good year

my personal mileage is on urban streets, I don’t expect to hit that claimed economy figure, but the True MPG figure of 43.5mpg is still decent.

Factor in a 0-62mph time of just 8.1 seconds and you may be able to understand why I’ve been looking forward to running the SC so much. Infuriatingly, my short daily trip to the office means I’m still some way from passing the 1000-mile running-in period for the engine, so I have been obediently refraining from finding out what the car can do – for the time being at least.

Seat Leon SC first report

conventionally coloured cars in the car park makes it well worth it.

In many ways, the three-door Leon fits in with my lifestyle. I have no children, live in a flat in London and only go on the occasional longer trip to visit family in far-flung parts of the English and Welsh countryside. I can get everything I need for these trips into a car the size of the Leon without any fuss – apart from my mountain bikes.

Even if I could take the wheels off and squeeze the bikes in past the high boot lip and over the step in the bay that appears when the seats are folded, the pristine interior wouldn’t last very long after a couple of forays through a muddy forest. As a result, the final extravagance I’ve splashed out on is a bike rack.

I wanted to avoid the fuel consumption penalties that come with roof-mounted bars, so the one I’ve gone for sits on a tow bar. The rack cost me a hefty £450, while the detachable tow bar added another £565.

So, have we got it right with our SC, or will I be regretting my decision this time next year? I’ll keep you posted.

Much of the three-door hatch’s standard equipment enhances its sporting credentials. Outside, there are the FR bumpers, front and rear, tinted rear windows and twin chrome exhaust pipes, while inside there are the sports seats, a steering wheel with red stitching and FR logo, and aluminium front door sill trims.

With all of this standard kit, the pain of knowing what to pick in terms of options was significantly reduced. My head was turned by the £150 Convenience Pack, which brought auto lights and wipers, and an automatically dimming rear-view mirror.

However, due to an offer that Seat was running until the end of 2013, the other big option box practically ticked itself. All SE and FR Leons were being offered with a Technology Pack free of charge. That means that my LED headlights, satellite-navigation and DAB radio all came for nothing, rather than the £1075 they should have set me back.

The only other extra that seemed a no-brainer was metallic paint, and the bright Alor Blue seemed the one to best show off the Leon’s sharp lines. Unfortunately, at £695 it was the expensive option, but the way it stands out against more

IN THIS JOB, as in any other, there are good days and not-so-good days. When you’re still stuck in the office at 10pm waiting for pictures and words to magically appear, for printers to unjam and for computers to reboot, you

generally consider it to have been one of the more irritating days.

However, the day when your boss tells you you’re going to be getting the Ford ST experience is definitely a good one. My task? To run a Focus ST for a few months, then swap it for the hot hatch of the moment, the Fiesta ST. He’s a good lad, that John McIlroy.

Ford FocusThe first part of our ST experience is over. Will part two prove as much fun?

Recaro seats and an upgraded stereo, among other things.

The car arrived with 68 miles on it, so a strict running-in period ensued. Imagine yourself on the last day of school before the holidays, but you’re forced to endure an afternoon of economics followed by maths – that’s what it was like for the first 1000 miles. It was going to be great, but it was so… far… away.

It was worth the wait, though. There were big grins the first time the back of the accelerator

would be easier to live with than more focused hot hatches such as Renault’s Mégane Renaultsport.

A few weeks on, and a Spirit Blue Ford Focus ST-2 appeared in the car park.

We were sparing with the options – the only extra we went for was that blue paint at £525. However, the basic Focus ST is available only in white, red, silver or black, so we stepped up to ST-2 to get the car in blue.

ST-2 trim also brought climate control, a heated windscreen, two

Ford Focus final report

Symposer system. Essentially, this pipes the noises you want to hear into the cabin, and makes you feel like a rally driver every time you accelerate.

The Focus is at its best on the sort of road that looks like it’s been flung at the scenery from a distance. Its suspension is firm, but sufficiently supple to deal with bumps and changes of direction. The variable-ratio steering, meanwhile, is so quick that you never have to shuffle the wheel through your hands on a B-road, but stable enough to make motorway driving a breeze.

However, that steering is also the root of one of our main gripes about the Focus. Its turning circle is bigger than Jupiter’s orbit. This is a genuine annoyance when three-point turns become five-pointers.

Nonetheless, the Focus did what the very best hot hatches do – it performed all the high-speed fun stuff while easily coping with humdrum life. Inside, there was ample room, the boot was a decent size and nothing fell off.

It was so good that you could forgive the fact that it seemed to like a drink. Our car managed an average of 25.2mpg throughout its time with us, significantly down on the official average of 39.2mpg, and quite a way behind our own True MPG figure of 32.6mpg.

Still, I was sad to see it go, but go it had to, because the second phase of our ST experience was ready – a Race Red Ford Fiesta ST-2 burbling into the car park to replace it.

As before, we’ve gone easy on the options, to the extent that there are precisely none on our car. It doesn’t need them. It has air-conditioning, a high-spec stereo and those Recaro seats as standard. It’s small, so it doesn’t need parking sensors, and I can live without the illuminated sills of the Style Pack. Nope, best to keep it simple, keep the weight down and just enjoy a hot hatch that has truly been touched by greatness.

Not for a while, though. Why? Well, the Fiesta turned up with just 48 miles on the clock, so a lengthy period of maths and economics lies ahead… again.

touched the carpet. The Focus just leaps forward in search of the horizon. You need to hang on to it, though, or it’ll go in search of the nearest ditch, because the steering tends to get tugged left and right under full throttle. Still, keep a tight grip and it’s a riot.

The Focus also makes a fantastic noise through its Sound

WE’RE ALL AFTER a bargain, and the Skoda Rapid is one of the biggest – quite literally, because it’s considerably larger than most similarly priced rivals. In fact, it’s almost as big as Skoda’s middle-sized family car, the Octavia, so

we decided to see how they both stack up by living with a Rapid for a few months before replacing it with an Octavia.

Choosing which Rapid to have was easy. The lower-powered 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol is our favourite. It’s smooth and punchy enough for most duties, and it keeps the car’s price low.

We also like the mid-level SE spec, which has air-conditioning, alloy wheels, Bluetooth, a USB connection and four electric windows. That’s a decent

low-speed appeal, while too much wind and road noise meant it wasn’t a relaxing motorway cruiser, either. Add a flat, unsupportive driver’s seat and you’ve got a car that’s far from ideal for long journeys, such as from Middlesex to my sister’s house in Somerset, or to Devon to stay with my girlfriend’s parents.

Early impressions were mixed, however. We liked the spacious cabin and huge boot, and the engine felt more powerful than its modest 85bhp would suggest. It also pulled smoothly from low revs, which, along with its light controls, helped make the car easy to drive in town.

Sadly, the hard ride went a long way towards undoing the Rapid’s

I could also get my bike in the back – with both wheels still on.

The Rapid didn’t excel at every load-carrying task, though. On occasion, it was employed as a removals van, and although we got a lot of boxes and small bits of furniture in, the hard ride made everything jostle about, so the trip was far from quiet.

The cabin won few friends. Everyone mentioned the drab, cheap-looking plastics. Not even the cabin’s solid feel was enough to change people’s minds.

A couple of oddities annoyed me, too. The USB connection wouldn’t recognise my iPhone, and I had to unlock the fuel filler cap with the key, just like on the cars I drove 15 years ago.

You also expect the air-con to cool the cabin, but ours was scarcely up to the job during the summer heat. If it was 25C or more outside, it took a good 10 minutes for the cabin to chill down, so we simply opened the windows on short journeys.

One unexpected plus was how much the Rapid’s comparative narrowness helped when parking on the street. The high-profile tyres protected the wheels from kerb damage, too.

So can I recommend the Rapid? Not really. Yes, it’s cheap and offers lots of space for people and luggage, but that’s pretty much where the positives end. It’s not comfortable or quiet enough, and the plasticky cabin isn’t a very nice place to be.

Thankfully, that’s not something you can say about the Octavia. We’ve gone for our top pick of the more expensive models, the 2.0-litre diesel in SE trim. Like the Rapid, this has all the kit you need, but this time I went for a few extras, including sat-nav (£550) and heated front seats, windscreen and washer jets (£430). Even with £495 for Race Blue metallic paint, the total of £21,765 is still good value.

It’s early days so far, but I’m already enjoying the classy cabin and how much nicer the Octavia is to drive than the Rapid. Yes, you’d expect it to be better – it’s more expensive, after all – but I suspect the Octavia will be a car you don’t have to make excuses for – unlike the Rapid.

comfort and refinement. They were still there, of course, but they became slightly less of an issue the more I drove the car. Besides, it kept up with traffic on the motorway and didn’t use too much fuel on long trips. Indeed, our average test economy of 40.1mpg was pretty good for such a large vehicle with a small petrol engine.

Talking of large, the Rapid’s boot was more than big enough for everything I threw at it. The weekly shopping looked lost in there, and even two people’s holiday luggage and a load of sleeping bags weren’t enough to seriously test its capacity. Once I’d folded down the rear seats,

I’M BACK IN the CR-V after a few days in a compact executive, the Lexus IS. On being reunited with the Honda, the first thing I noticed was the contrast in driving positions between the CR-V and the IS. The CR-V’s is by no means poor, but there are a couple of niggles.

First off, I should stress that I have no gripes about the comfort of the seats. I find them supportive and very easy to adjust. My problem is with the headrest. It pushes my head too far forward, putting unnecessary strain on my neck. Turning the headrest round is a temporary, but not very safe, solution.

I’m not the only one who has had difficulty with the headrest. I’ve heard from a number of readers who have come up with their own solutions, some more successful than others. I’m sure

the angle is designed to prevent whiplash, but in the meantime it’s causing me some discomfort.

However, the main issue I have with getting comfortable behind the wheel of the CR-V is the relative distances between the seat and the steering wheel and pedals. The steering wheel adjusts for reach and rake easily, but the range of reach is quite limited. As a result, I have to have the steering wheel as far out as it will go and move my seat further

Honda CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC EX autoforward than I normally would like to reach the wheel safely and without stretching.

Unfortunately, that means the pedals, which are already set too close to the seat, are even nearer, so my legs feel cramped. Ultimately, I end up a bit squished. If there was just slightly more adjustment in the wheel, I’d have no complaints.

Finding the ideal driving position is causing snapper Will problems

Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid SE Lux

THE LINK BETWEEN cars and technology is growing stronger by the day. The time was that syncing your phone to your car using Bluetooth felt like you were at the cutting edge. The Sensus Connected Touch system in the Volvo makes Bluetooth seem like two paper cups joined with a bit of string.

The touch-screen-controlled system supplements the standard Volvo set-up, and you can add apps from the Asteroid store. Exactly how useful it is to get instant messages, Facebook or email in your car remains to be seen. The apps that make the most sense are those you can operate on the move. Music streaming service Spotify works well, but we’ll be

trying more apps, and reporting back on the results.

There are downsides: the touch-screen’s a stretch from the driver’s seat and not particularly responsive. It also needs internet connection. We are using a 3G data dongle, costing around £10 per month, and Spotify adds a further £10 per month.

What you get for this is a huge selection of music at your

fingertips. Fire up Spotify, search for pretty much any artist in the world, and you’ll be listening to their entire back catalogue within a minute.

The system isn’t perfect by any means, but it’s a tantalising glimpse into the connected future of in-car entertainment.

The V60’s touch-screen is frustratingly located right at fingertip limit

It doesn’t surprise me at all that

Bentley’s SUV concept, shown

last year, had a tailgate that

aped the classic Range Rover’s.

After all, the idea of

a two-part boot opening,

creating a platform that you

can sit on, have a picnic on,

or use to slide things in and out

of the car, is brilliant. It works

as well on the latest car as it

did on the 1970 original.

I’ve been using ours a great

deal. It’s a handy place to get

the children’s muddy boots

on and of for a start, not to

mention my own. It also

makes getting things into the

car much easier. To date I’ve

loaded up my bike, an exercise

bench and a large chair.

If I have one misgiving, it’s

that the electrically operated

boot takes a bit too long to

open. Still, I like the fact that

I can do it from afar – just by

button. So it’s mixed blessings.

In other news, the Rangie

has an imminent trip to the

dealer. The sliding lid on

the central cubby holder is

sticking, so it needs to be

replaced. Apparently, it’s a

day-long job as well – although,

obviously, it’s all going to be

covered under warranty.

NOW THAT OUR A3 Sportback has finally been cured of its mid-range turbo rattle, I’ve been relishing its abilities, particularly around town.

The VW Group’s 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine is central to the pleasure. It’s an absolute gem that you can drive like a diesel; sure, you can rev it to 4000rpm and beyond if you really want, but there’s more than enough oomph lower down for you to shift up at barely 2200rpm and still maintain decent progress through city streets.

The gearbox helps with this. Again, it feels like one of the best transmissions that the VW Group produces, with a slick, positive action.

The A3’s eco-brain gets involved, too. It’s always keen for you to nudge the car into a higher gear if possible, in a bid

to save fuel, but it goes a bit further than that by often suggesting you block-shift from, say, fourth to sixth. With that sort of approach the engine becomes a barely audible companion. Even our car’s relatively modest stereo (we shied away from the high-end options) is able to keep it firmly in the background. It’s such a relaxing way to get across town.

Those urban miles also remind me – at almost every pothole,

Audi A3 Sportback 1.4 TFSI 122 Sportand particularly over speed bumps – what a masterstroke it is to tick the option to ‘deselect Sports suspension’ on Sport models like ours. There’s no doubt sportier A3s ride better than their predecessors, but when it doesn’t cost you a penny and you still get the looks of the Sport-spec alloy wheels, I don’t know why you wouldn’t do it.

Deselecting Sports suspension means the A3 rides very well in town

BMW 3 Series 318d GT Modern

THE BMW 3 Series GT’s boot is not just big, it’s clever. On one trip last month, I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to fit in all the cases for a family holiday.

I needn’t have worried. A useful bit of engineering in the boot cover means it’s easy to squeeze in a bit more than you might think. Most hatchbacks have a parcel shelf that lifts with the tailgate when you open the boot, but the GT’s splits in half. You can even remove the two halves to create more space. Even better, you can store them under the boot floor.

Another helpful feature is the 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats that come as standard on the GT. With the 60/40 option most cars have, if you want to get something long and narrow

into the car, you end up losing one big seat, and are realistically left with space for only one adult in the back. With the GT’s format, you can fold down the narrow (and less useful) middle seat, but keep those on either side. The result is that four people can still travel in comfort, which is far more convenient for families.

If load space is the GT’s key strength, then its biggest

weakness is the 2.0-litre diesel engine, along with its notchy manual gearbox; there’s no question that this BMW powertrain is starting to feel its age. It’s not as smooth or as quiet as newer rivals, and even our long-term Mazda 6’s diesel is more refined (see page 95).

A game of two halves: the split parcel shelf creates extra boot space

The expandable boot in the

Renault Captur is one of

many reasons why this car

beats the Peugeot 2008. The

Captur has a 17-litre advantage

in any case, but slide the rear

seat bench forward and that

margin extends to a whopping

95 litres. That means you get

455 litres without folding down

the rear seats. To put it in

real-world terms, that’s nearly

as much as in a BMW 3 Series.

to get my long-termer tested.

recorded was 54.8mpg, still

7.3mpg more than my best

I’m averaging 46mpg, but this

I ALWAYS RELISH taking the comfortable, well-equipped Mini Paceman on long trips, especially when there’s a good stretch of motorway to really let the car do what it does best: drive. The quirky coupé may not be the most graceful of cars to manoeuvre, or indeed the most agile around town, but on the open road it comes into its own.

An autumn jaunt from London out to the gloriously golden Wiltshire countryside for a spot of walking and horse riding gave me the perfect opportunity to put the car – and its boot – through its paces. The boot did pretty well with my admittedly excessive luggage for one, although if I’d been joined by even one passenger, we’d have had to drop the rear seats.

Luckily, I was meeting my friend there, so boot space wasn’t

a worry, and I could focus on the drive. My route took in the M3 motorway, scenic A-roads and finally some tantalisingly tight and twisty country lanes.

The Paceman doesn’t get much chance to negotiate anything more tricky than mini roundabouts in day-to-day commuter life, so it was a thrill to get it knuckling down to some real corners.

With its muscular styling, the car might look like a hefty beast,

Mini Paceman 1.6 Cooper Sbut it proved itself capable of adept handling, and never felt anything other than sure-footed when cornering.

Not so much fun was had on less well cared-for, pockmarked roads, where the firm suspension delivered every bump right up into the cabin. Overall, however, this trendy urbanite handled the rural ride pretty well.

Mini Paceman took Wiltshire’s winding country byways in its stride

Kia Carens 1.7 CRDi 114 2

WHEN I PICKED up the Carens from the office car park recently, the inside of the windscreen was covered with a thick layer of condensation. A quick blast of the air-con soon had it cleared, but I had a repeat performance when I got back in the next day.

It’s annoying when you have to sit there, waiting for the glass to clear before you can set off safely. Even more annoying is the way the ventilation system operates.

I’d pressed the ‘windscreen max’ button, which puts the air-con on, directs the airflow to the screen and turns the blowers to full. As soon as the glass cleared I tried to redirect the airflow, but the Carens wouldn’t let me. I selected ‘feet’ and ‘chest’, but the display kept flashing before changing back to

‘windscreen max’. I had a two-hour journey ahead of me, so this didn’t bode well.

Luckily, 10 minutes later it did as commanded, but it switched back whenever the outside temperature dipped below 5C.

A not-so-quick search through the telephone directory-thick handbook reveals that our car is equipped with Kia’s auto defogging system. Once on, it can

only be cancelled by ‘pressing the front defroster button four times within two seconds while pressing the Auto button’.

I’m a bloke, so hate having to dig out the manual to work out how to operate a car, but there was no way I could have worked out that on my own.

Early morning condensation on Kia’s screen is proving problematic

There’s been an update to the

not – as you might hope – for

the better. The panoramic

roof that was standard on

every Prius+ when we took

delivery of our test car last

year is now a hefty £850 cost

option. This makes a good case

for buying a used model, or

simply looking for a better

REGARDLESS OF THEIR height, my What Car? colleagues all like the Jag’s driver’s seat as low as it’ll go, with the backrest upright and the steering wheel high, in emulation of the British Touring Car Championship racers they’d all like to be.

I prefer a more laid-back approach, and because of this had failed to notice that the seat has now developed a squeak on its lowest setting.

It’s not the only new noise. Bring the softly sprung Sportbrake to a halt, and there’s an odd thump from somewhere at the rear.

We ran an XF saloon last year that made a similar noise, caused, we were told, by fuel sloshing around in the tank. Apparently, there’s no cure. Add to that an occasional hiss from either the air-sprung rear suspension or

tailgate struts, and we’ve almost got ourselves a travelling band.

However, it’s not my ears that worry me most, it’s my eyes. A recent trip on an unlit stretch of the A3 had me slowing to a trickle, as I struggled to see which way the road went. It appears the Jag’s bi-xenon headlights might be set too low. The winter gloom and longer nights mean an urgent trip to my dealership is in order.

The cooler weather has also made the low-speed gruffness of

Jaguar XF Sportbrake 2.2D 200 Sportour XF’s engine more noticeable, which some more discerning passengers have commented on. If this old diesel unit is not quite as refined as you’d expect a Jag’s motor to be, do we accept this as the compromise necessary to get 35mpg from a two-tonne luxury estate, or does it just prove you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear?

The XF Sportbrake’s noises are all too apparent from the driver’s seat

Mazda 6 2.2D 150 SE-L

I’VE BEEN TRYING to determine how well the Mazda 6’s Skyactiv technology has been working for me after driving the car for nearly nine months and 13,000 miles.

In terms of fuel economy, it’s good news. I’m now averaging 49.1mpg. The lightweight engine construction and new gearbox also mean CO2 emissions are a class-leading 108g/km.

The most intriguing bit of tech for me, though, has been the i-Eloop system, which stores energy harvested from the brakes in a capacitor instead of the battery.

It’s easy to become almost hypnotised by the graphic on the dash as it changes to show the charge building up – it’s really got me thinking about how well the tech works.

In other news, the 6 has been back to the dealer. Not for more recall work or another new clutch, but its first service, at 12,500 miles. Lodge Garage in Aylesbury did a cracking job; the bill was a very reasonable £170 and the service took just 90 minutes. Even better, the customer service was excellent.

One of my neighbours has been asking me about the 6.

He said it was on his list of options for a new company car, and he was wondering what the engine was like. I told him it was a peach; the 2.2-litre unit is more refined than any of BMW’s current four-cylinder diesels – proof that Skyactiv is more than just a fancy name.

i-Eloop recovers kinetic energy from brakes to reuse as electricity

Fe, but before making a decision he wanted to see what else was on the market that might fit the bill.

Armed with Gary’s key requirements: 4WD, space and comfort, we picked out three cars he hadn’t yet considered.

First up was Honda’s big CR-V. It’s spacious inside, with stylish, rugged looks, a huge boot and the option of 4WD. Its value-for-money price would also leave Gary with cash to spare.

Next, we chose perhaps the ultimate traditional compact 4x4, the Land Rover Freelander. Without options, the model available for Gary’s test comes in at £10,000 more than the CR-V, and is slightly over budget, but online brokers have them available at prices within his reach. Dropping down to GS specification would also make more financial sense.

Finally, we arranged for Gary to test Volvo’s stylish XC60. Again, the test car in SE Lux trim at list price costs more than he’s hoping to spend. At Target Price, though, it’s just below budget, and opting for the more affordable yet capable D4 engine wouldn’t mean sacrificing any luxuries.

‘The Volvo is the easiest car to

get my clubs in and out of,’ said

Gary. ‘The boot floor’s just the

right height, so I don’t have to

bend down. It’s not as big back

there as the CR-V, but because

the tonneau cover slides away

at the touch of a button, you

can stack luggage quite high.

‘I love the gadgets, especially

the blind-spot warning system

and the headlights that dip

automatically from full beam

what I’m paying for. I’m not so keen

look great, but are very fiddly.

It’s the most stylish and striking

of all the cars here, especially in

black, which shows it of at its

best. I can imagine Daniel Craig

driving one in a Bond movie.’

Volvo XC60

Gary was pleasantly surprised by

the Freelander. He found it the most

comfortable to drive, and enjoyed

the good all-round visibility. Sadly,

it didn’t measure up to the other

two cars on cabin space or price.

The CR-V, by contrast, impressed

him with its cavernous boot and

value for money.

However, it was the XC60 that stole

his heart. ‘I’ve

enjoyed driving

this car the most,’

he said. ‘It looks

great, drives well

and fits all of my

kit perfectly.’

The XC60 won, not just on

Honda CR-V Land Rover Freelander Volvo XC60

‘Like Gary, we’d

spend our money

on the XC60. Its

cabin is as classy

as it is practical, and it has

some of the best seats in any

car. What’s more, the XC60

combines strong performance

with good refinement and

a comfortable ride.

‘True, the Freelander

also has a ride that cossets

occupants, and if you plan

to do any proper of-roading,

it remains the one to choose.

However, it’s nowhere near as

spacious as its rivals, and the

interior is starting to feel dated.

‘As for the CR-V, it gives you

a lot of space for your money

and comes well equipped.

However, it does feel like the

cheaper car that it is, and the

ride is a bit unsettled. If you

can’t stretch to the XC60, the

Mazda CX-5 is a better choice

than the CR-V because it costs

less to buy and run, and has

a stronger, smoother engine.’

Portsmouth to buy an eight-year-old Volkswagen Touran he’d seen advertised on the internet.

The Touran had 200,000 miles on the clock but the dealer agreed to replace its ageing cambelt, so Martin was feeling positive when he arrived to view the car.

Although the Touran was showing its age rather more than the photos suggested,

Martin decided to reserve judgment for the test drive.

‘It drove like a new car,’ he said. ‘Everything seemed tight; there were no rattles or shakes, and the engine pulled strongly.’

Reassured, Martin sealed the deal and drove away but just a few miles into his journey home, the acceleration started to falter. The fuel gauge was nearing empty so he limped to a fuel station, filled up the tank and continued on his way. Performance improved for a while, but then the throttle started to lag again.

Martin called the dealer, who told him to return the car for diagnosis and repair. However,

CAR ENTHUSIAST MARTIN Port has several classics in his fleet, including a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle and a 1953 AC Buckland. They’re all lovingly maintained, but don’t exactly provide the day-to-day family-focused practicality that Martin and his wife need.

Martin’s a seasoned used car buyer so had no qualms travelling from London to

New turbo needed Difficulties finding suitable car in stock

‘Then came the killer news: Martin’s used Touran needed a new turbo’

after mulling things over for the weekend, Martin’s misgivings grew. He voiced his concerns to the dealer, who wasn’t having any of it – the car would be fixed at no cost to Martin; what was the problem?

Then came the killer news: the car needed a new turbo. The dealer said he’d ordered a reconditioned part, which was on its way, but this major fault tipped Martin’s remaining faith that the Touran was a sensible investment over the edge. In addition, the dealer’s warranty would only cover the car for three months and £300.

The dealer still refused to discuss a refund. ‘My eBay listing states I don’t do returns,’ he said.

Martin wasn’t convinced and called Helpdesk. We assured him he was right to stick to his guns. He was, as he’d argued, protected by the Sale of Goods Act, and had the right to reject the faulty car.

Buoyed, he went back to the dealer, only to discover the reconditioned turbo was being built in Poland, and the supplier wouldn’t sign off the order until it received the old unit. This would mean the car ‘sitting dead’ for weeks in the garage. The dealer then agreed to a refund.

It took two attempts and two weeks for Martin to get his money back, but eventually he was able to buy a low-mileage, five-year-old Vauxhall Zafira from a local dealer. ‘It may not be the most exciting option but it has a full dealer service history and a comprehensive two-year warranty,’ he said.

the attractive 13.8% Target Price

discount, plus 5.9% APR interest

his local Hyundai dealer in

Unfortunately, his dealer was

Named as a business on personal leases Your cars

WHEN MARK SELLS decided to lease a Volkswagen Up for his daughter, he wasn’t banking on acting illegally. His search started well when he was quoted an attractive rate by online broker Mad Sheep: £107.35 per month over four years.

Alarm bells rang when he read the Volkswagen Financial Services hire contract and spotted he was named as a business: ‘Mr Mark Sells T/as Business Consultant’. Since Mark doesn’t own a business, he was wary of signing. It felt wrong, so he cancelled his order.

It didn’t take long to find a second company, Fleet Prices, offering a similarly low rate: £105.70 per month. However, Mark soon realised this contract hire agreement also listed him as a business: ‘Mr Mark Sells T/as Mark Sells’.

Mark contacted Helpdesk. With two brokers now seemingly proposing him as a business, what should he do? We advised him not to sign. If he did, he’d be fraudulently passing himself

off as a business, and the manufacturer could pursue legal action against him. His insurer could also refuse to pay out in the event of an accident or theft.

Our investigations suggested an administrative error had caused Mark to be named as a business on his initial finance application via Mad Sheep. The information was then logged on Volkswagen Financial Services’ system and transferred to the new agreement arranged by Fleet Prices, despite the order documents clearly requesting a personal lease.

Since Mark had not yet cancelled his second order with Fleet Prices, it offered to honour its original quote but with Mark named correctly as a private individual. Mark accepted.

Fleet Prices said: ‘It seems when we sent Mr Sells for underwriting, the finance system automatically brought

up the line of credit that was already open with VW Finance from his previous application.

‘We apologise wholeheartedly. We’re taking measures to ensure all finance company documents are checked against our records to prevent it recurring.’

Mad Sheep said: ‘We’ve apologised and given Mr Sells a full refund. We always try to ensure customers enter into only appropriate contracts.

‘On this occasion, that didn’t happen, although the documents were never served up to the finance house.’

Problem three

1 Be wary of very low lease rates. Get written quotes detailing

your personal circumstances and requirements.

2 Read all documentation thoroughly. Never sign a legally

binding contract that contains false information about you

or your circumstances.

Avoid this happening to you

replacement schedules vary.

Ask your dealer to check the

belt if you’re concerned by

poor engine performance,

misfiring or rattling. Once the

Used cars

Hyundai ix35This spacious, stylish SUV comes with a comprehensive

warranty, and used examples now start at around £10,500

Photography Anna Boyce

On sale 2010-present

Our pick 1.7 CRDi Premium 2WD

MPG 48.7 CO2 139g/km

Typical price ’11/60,

30,000 miles, £14,000

What is it?

HYUNDAI’S IX35 NOT only looks great; all models are generously equipped and come with either two- or four-wheel drive. Throw in a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, and you have a fantastic used buy.

The SUV was face-lifted in 2013, but those models are still pretty pricey and scarce. A pre-face-lift car can cost as little as £10,500, however.

What’s it like?

Everyone gets lots of leg- and headroom, and the well-shaped boot holds 591 litres – more than enough for holiday luggage.

Equipment is where the Hyundai trounces its rivals. All cars get air-conditioning, alloy wheels, Bluetooth, heated front and rear seats, and rear parking sensors, while Premium trim adds climate control, leather and a panoramic roof.

A choice of petrol and diesel engines is available. We’d go for the 1.7-litre diesel that puts its power through the front wheels. If you really want four-wheel drive, there’s a 2.0 diesel version. It’s more powerful, but the 1.7 should suit most people’s needs.

How much should I pay?

An early car that’s done 120,000 miles will cost around £10,500.

Rear seats and boot

Rear passengers

will be grateful

for an almost flat

floor that gives

Our pick of the range, the 1.7 CRDi Premium 2WD, will set you back at least £12,000, while £14,000 will get you a good example with about 30,000 miles on the clock. Four-wheel-drive models command a premium and are more expensive to run.

The 1.7 CRDi’s running costs are low. It averages 48.7mpg and

emits 139g/km of CO2. When new, all versions came with a five-year warranty that’s transferable to the next owner.

What should I look out for?

Hyundai performed very well in our most recent reliability survey, coming third overall. The ix35 was too new to be included, but there have been no major recalls to date.

There are things to look out for, though. On some cars, a faulty ball joint causes the suspension to crash around at low speed.

In addition, the infotainment system has suffered from glitches that cause it to freeze. A software update usually resolves the issue.

Owners have reported that on some cars their Bluetooth would

lose the connection with their mobile for no reason. A system update has since fixed this.

Look out for water damage in the driver’s footwell; rain can enter the car via the air ducts during heavy downpours.

All the ix35’s engines have 20,000-mile service intervals.

1

Fuel economy Annual road tax CO2 emissions Avg. insurance cost

The engine was upgraded in 2010 from 1.4 to 1.6 litres. It’s smooth and perky, and makes the One even more fun to drive. The car has all the essentials and running costs are low.

The 1.2-litre petrol engine is powerful enough around town and offers low running costs. The Pop trim’s bare essentials are in line with the 500’s cheap and cheerful nature.

Why buy this one?

The Mini is one of the best small cars to drive, thanks to its good ride and smooth handling. It also excels in town, where it can easily keep up with traffic and nip into tight spaces.

Light steering and good all-round visibility mean the 500 is in its element in the city, but on the open road drivers may feel a little frustrated by having just 69bhp to play with.

On the road

The boot will hold no more than a couple of shopping bags. The front seats are comfy, but there’s little room in the rear for adults. The dash favours form over function.

The cabin is pleasantly bright and colourful, although some of the plastics are cheap. Two adults will be comfortable up front, and the rear seats can take two more on shorter trips.


Around £6000 buys an early 1.6-litre petrol car, but with a lot of miles. An ’11/60 1.6 that’s covered 23,000 miles costs around £7400.

An early ’08 car can be had for less than £5000. Newer 10-plate cars with around 30,000 miles on the clock can sell for £6000.

Prices and costs

The windscreen chips and cracks easily, so check it before buying. Also watch out for the stop-start system – there have been issues with it refusing to restart the engine.

Check the paintwork and listen for annoying rattles from the dash. There have been recalls to fix the rear brakes and airbags. Make sure the work was done if your car was affected.

How to decide what car is best for you

1 REGULAR USESThe first thing you

need to decide is

what you’ll use

your car for. Think

about the type of

journeys you do

regularly and how

much space you

need for people

and luggage.

2 OCCASIONAL USESNow consider the

things you’ll need

your car to do less

often, be that acting

as pet transport,

taking a bike in the

boot or swallowing

the contents of the

local DIY store.

3 YOUR BUDGETThis is where many

buyers trip up.

Work out how much

you can aford to

spend on the car,

be that a one-of

payment or a

monthly amount.

Once you’ve got this

figure, stick to it!

4 OTHER COSTSOf course, buying the

car is one thing;

you’ll also have to

pay to run it. Make

sure you’ve got

enough left over for

fuel, insurance, tax

and servicing, plus

items such as tyres

and brakes.

Buy one if your driving is in town, at 30mph, and usually with empty back seats

Working out what you can aford is crucial

How to pay for your car

1 PERSONAL LOANFew of us have

suficient money

saved, so a personal

loan is a popular

way to buy a car.

It’s best if you

want to own the car

outright and don’t

have a deposit for

a finance deal.

2 HIRE PURCHASEYou pay a deposit

followed by

fixed monthly

instalments. You

don’t own the car

until the final

payment has been

made, but the credit

is secured against

the car only.

3 PERSONAL CONTRACT PURCHASEPay a deposit and

a (fairly low) monthly

amount, and at the

end of the term you

can return the car,

buy it outright for an

agreed sum, or trade

it in for a new car.

4 PERSONAL CONTRACT HIREYou pay a deposit,

then a monthly fee

to ‘rent’ the car for

a certain duration

and/or mileage.

Costs are low, but

at the end of the

term you simply

hand the car back. A little research could save you a fortune

example, take a child

seat with you. If you

carry bulky cases,

bring them, too.

3 BRING A FRIENDTo help you stay

focused on what the

They can also

comment on the car

from the passenger’s

point of view.

4 DRIVE A SENSIBLE ROUTEMake sure your test

drive lasts for at least

30 minutes to give

you enough time to

assess the car. Drive

on a variety of roads,

but spend most time

on the type of roads

you’ll use regularly. It’s all about deciding if the car is suitable

How to get the best price

1 LOOK UP THE TARGET PRICEWhat Car? has

a team who do

nothing but haggle.

Their Target Prices

are the most you

should pay for any

new car; the figures

are listed in the back

of this magazine.

2 CHECK WITH BROKERSSome online brokers

can beat even the

Target Price, by

doing bulk deals

with some of the

bigger dealer groups.

Check whatcar.com

for the latest ofers

we’ve found.

3 GET A DISCOUNT ON THE OPTIONSRemember that the

Target Price discount

should also apply to

any optional extras

you add on. So if

you’re getting 8%

of a car’s list price,

demand 8% of any

extras, too.

4 BUY AT THE RIGHT TIMEDealers usually have

to hit monthly sales

targets, so if you

make your visit

towards the end of

the month, you’ll

almost certainly

find it easier to get

a bigger discount. Check the Target Price – don’t pay any more

How to finalise the deal

1 FLAUNT YOUR KNOWLEDGETake a copy of this

magazine with you

to the showroom.

Then you’ll always

have the prices,

including the

Target Price, to

point to during

the negotiations.

2 FIX A PRICE ON THE NEW CARThe salesman will

want to include the

trade-in value of your

old car in the deal.

It’s far better if you

agree a price for the

new car separately

and then discuss

trade-in values.

3 YOU CAN WALK AWAYDon’t be afraid to

leave if you can’t

reach a deal that

you’re happy with.

Simply getting up

from your chair can

be enough to make

a dealer ofer you a

slightly better price.

4 LET WHAT CAR? HELP YOUIf the dealer won’t

match the Target

Price, we’ll find you

one who will. Simply

call us on 0845 527

6394 and we’ll put

you in touch with

a dealer who will sell

the car at that price. Be friendly but firm when negotiating

How to sell your old car

1 RESEARCH ITS VALUEUse the free used-car

valuation service

at whatcar.com/

valuations or the

free What Car? car

valuations app to

find out exactly

how much your

old car is worth.

2 HOW TO SELL ITIt’s easiest to trade in

your old car when

buying a new one,

but you’ll get more

money if you sell it

privately. You can

also sell it to a

car-buying service,

but beware that the

prices can be low.

3 PREPARE YOUR CAR FOR SALEClean it inside and

out and top up all

the fluid levels. It’s

rarely worth paying

to fix small dents and

scratches, especially

on older cars, but

do get all the

paperwork together.

4 PAPERWORKYou don’t just have

to deal with the

V5C registration

document. You’ll

need to inform any

warranty company

of the new owner’s

details, plus any

security register the

car is listed with. A clean car will be much easier to sell

Collecting your new car

1 BEFORE COLLECTIONEven if the car you’re

buying is in stock,

it’ll take the dealer

a few days to prepare

all the paperwork.

On the agreed day

of collection, call to

make sure the car

is actually ready.

2 WHAT TO CHECKYou’ll be excited

when you collect

the car, but there are

important things

you need to check.

Is the car exactly

what you ordered?

Do all the switches

work? Is there

any damage?

3 PAPERWORKRead everything

carefully before

you sign. You’ll need

to fill out the V5C

vehicle registration

document, plus

any finance and

warranty paperwork.

You also need a

dated sales contract.

4 COMPLAINTS AND REJECTIONLet the dealer know

of your concerns

before you take

ownership. If it’s

more serious and

you need to reject

the car, do so in

writing to the dealer

within two weeks. Take the keys only once you’re totally happy

GOVERNMENT MPG

Based on official EU tests, this figure

is a weighted average of two tests:

Urban (cold start, average 12mph) and

Extra Urban (warm start, average 39mph).

Note: the official fuel consumption figures

are published as a guide only.

CO2/TAX LIABILITY

Company car tax is charged on a sliding scale

based on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Our

tax liability figures show the percentage of the

list price (including options) on which you will

be taxed. The scale alters each April.

VED RATING

Also known as road tax, Vehicle Excise Duty

is calculated on a sliding scale according to

the vehicle’s CO2 emissions. Alternative-fuel

cars (hybrids, for example) attract a £10

discount on all VED rates.

PERFORMANCE FIGURES

Our figures show acceleration (0-60mph).

Most of the performance figures are

set by the car makers. Please note that

some manufacturers’ acceleration

figures represent 0-62mph (0-100kph).
