WHAT IS YOuR FAVOuRITE TELEVISION
OR FILM CAR OF ALL TIME?
Maxine has always had a passion for cars and after ten
years as a regional motoring editor in South Wales, is
enjoying the freelance lifestyle, travelling here, there
and everywhere to test out new cars and interview
the brains behind the technology. She simply loves
driving nearly as much as rugby!
MAXINE ASHFORD
A rare female in the testosterone pool of motoring
journalism, Sue has had her right foot to the floor
throughout a career spanning more than 30 years. From
local newspapers, via Brands Hatch and twenty years in
Fleet Street as a motoring editor, she also notched up a
decade as a Top Gear presenter.
SUE BAKER
Gavins right foot is still planted firmly in the 1980s
and 1990s, as he fuels his rather unhealthy obsession
with old motors. Commonly he is found tapping away
furiously at a keyboard, or hurtling up the A303 from
Devon to attend a car event. He is said to be fond of tea
and Hobnobs.
GAVIN BRAITHWAITE-SMITH
A journalist for the best part of a decade, Jack has
worked on consumer magazines and websites, national
newspapers and specialist business and enthusiast
titles. Hes written about old cars and new cars and has
thumbed through more company car benefit-in-kind tax
tables than most sane people ever will.
JACK CARFRAE
Motoring journalism was the unexpected outcome of
a decade spent in a variety of rally cars, in both the
left- and right-hand seats. Peter maintains that this
arduous habit still enables him to see both sides of a
motoring argument, be it about a race car or electric
shopping motor.
pETER CRACKNELL
Country dweller Richard got hooked on cars at the
1982 NEC motor show, aged 11. However, he didnt
start driving until he was 13, when he began tearing up
the fields around a nearby farm, in his school friends
beaten-up Audi. Now, 33 years on, he has a less tatty
Audi of his own.
RICHARD DREDGE
Dating back to the days of hot metal and typewriters,
Simon trained on a local weekly rag before realising
transport and travel might be more interesting than the
machinations of Wapley Parish Council. These days,
travel is mostly restricted to school runs with occasional
escapes to research his next work of fiction.
SIMON HACKER
City life, urban crawls, and the M25 are amongst
Victor's pet hates, along with mobile phones and most
pop music since Abba. But he's a country music fan,
and he often dreams of picking up Willie Nelson or
Emmylou Harris, guitar on shoulder, hitching a lift on
the A14, in his little red Corvette. Definitely a dreamer...
VICTOR HARMAN
Adam has always had a love for classic and retro cars
and this love can be traced back to his childhood. He
can count the likes of the Peugeot 205 and Rover 200,
as well as 18 Minis, amongst his former cars. Though
British cars have dominated his driving career, he's
interested in everything on four wheels.

THE FUTURE
T
he run-up to the Geneva motor show

is always a bumper month, with
all of the major car manufacturers
giving glimpses of their latest hot new metal.
And so our news pages are bulging with
photographs of the newest designs vying
for attention, and set to be unleashed onto
the Swiss catwalk. And while its great news
for newshounds, eager to gen up on the
latest models, it often means that there are
few actual surprises on the stands of the
car makers at the Geneva expo. As always,
the Diesel Car team will be pounding the

halls at the Swiss show, bringing you all the
latest economy focused news and gossip on
everything diesel, electric, hybrid and sub100g/km petrol.
In actual fact, for Diesel Car readers it
means theres a double whammy, as we go
to print just a few days before the Swiss
show opens. You can read about the hot
metal as the show goes on, and then soak up
a full motor show report in the next issue,
that is assuming that our feet do actually
fully recover. In the meantime, you can

always keep abreast of the latest news on our
website at www.dieselcarmagazine.co.uk, on
our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/
dieselcar or follow us on Twitter to get the
very latest news and views. It would appear
that for once, you really can
have your cake and eat it.

RETURN OF THE TUCSON
head of being unveiled at the Geneva

motor show, Hyundai took the wraps
off its next generation medium SUV,
the Tucson, at an exclusive event in Berlin,
and Diesel Car was there at the unveiling.
If you think that the Tucson name sounds
familiar, you would be right, as before
Hyundais current C-segment SUV, the ix35
was launched, its predecessor wore the same
name plate. And while European markets
switched over to the ix35 badge, countries like
South Korea and the United States retained the
Tucson moniker.
The newcomer arrives as Hyundai celebrates
the sale of one-million SUV models in Europe,
ever since the first Santa Fe arrived back in
2001. Of that total, more than 116,600 have
been sold in the UK. Last year, the ix35 was
the second best-selling Hyundai, behind the
i10 city car, with 16,890 shifted by its dealers,
a 26 per cent increase on 2013s sales figures.
So its an important car for the Korean brand,
with all examples of the new Tucson to be
built at the companys European production
facility in Noovice, Czech Republic.
Three diesel engines will be on offer a
114bhp 1.7-litre CRDi engine, along with a
pair of 2.0-litre CRDi units producing either
134bhp and 181bhp. All come equipped
with a six-speed manual gearbox, with the
latter two on offer with a six-speed automatic
008
transmission, too, while all of the powerplants

meet the latest Euro 6 emissions regulations.
The new Tucson boldly adopts Hyundais
new signature hexagon front grille, which
dominates the front end, tieing in with a
pair of large headlights, and a front bumper
that incorporates both fog and LED daytime
running lights. Along the side, chunky grey
mouldings give the Tucson a lower, more
grounded appearance, while at the rear, there
are similarly shaped tail lights to those found
on the latest i20. Overall, the design is more
muscular, better resolved and importantly
looks and feels more premium. On the inside,
the cabin has been transformed with the
inclusion of the latest soft-touch high quality
mouldings, while the optional deep red leather
gives a more sumptuous and distinctive
appearance. Boot space at 513 litres, while
generous, isnt quite as sizeable as the
outgoing ix35, which boasted 591 litres with
the seats in the upright position, though still
comfortably improves upon the amount of
luggage room provided by rivals like the Ford
Kuga and Volkswagen Tiguan.
More technology is packed in than ever
before, with an electric tailgate, automated
parking and autonomous emergency
braking available for the first time. The latest
generation satellite navigation system is three
times faster than ever before, and safety
equipment like the lane keeping assistant,

rear traffic cross alert, traffic sign recognition
and blind spot detection all make their debut
on the latest Tucson, while the provision
of a deployable bonnet gives some extra
protection in the event of a collision with a
cyclist or pedestrian.
The latest Tucson makes its debut at the
Geneva motor show before arriving in UK
showrooms in September. While its too early
to talk prices and definitive specifications, it is
expected that the line-up will follow a similar
path to the recently launched i10, i20 and i30
by offering a choice of S, SE, SE Nav, Premium
and Premium SE trim levels.

THE SUPERB
NEW SUPERB
T
he design of the latest Skoda Superb

was hinted at by the VisionC concept
car at last years Geneva motor show,
and a year on, the exhibition is playing host
to the unveiling of the production version
of the third generation Superb. With more
than 700,000 first- and second-generation
examples on the roads around the world,
theres a lot at stake, but Skoda management
is confident that the latest car achieves a new
level of quality, elegance and sophistication.
And while the second generation car
was no doubt a great car, with an immense
amount of space inside, from some angles
it wasnt particularly good looking. Thats
a thing of the past with the new model,
which looks sharp and elegant no matter
where you are standing. The tradition of
offering extra space compared to its rivals
continues, as does the clever ideas that set
Skoda apart. In all, there are 29 different
features that make life easier for the driver
and passenger, with 10 solutions totally new
for the brand. Simply clever features include
a tablet holder in the front armrest, USB and
230-volt sockets in the back, and cupholders
that allow you to open 500ml bottles singlehandedly, and whereas the outgoing Superb
featured an umbrella in the left hand rear
door, the new car has an umbrella fitted in
each of the front doors, so both driver and
passenger can benefit from being shielded
from the rain.
The previous car had a complex twindoor
arrangement at the rear, with the boot lid
able to be opened as a saloon or hatchback,
however, the new car sticks solely with a
hatchback arrangement, reducing complexity.
And like its predecessor, it trumps every
single rival in terms of boot space, with 625
litres available for luggage with the rear
seats in place, which is a useful 30 litres
more than the outgoing car. The wheelbase

has been increased by 80 millimetres, which
means theres extra legroom for rear seat
passengers, as well as additional head and
elbow space.
The company has delved into the
Volkswagen parts bin when it comes to
technology, with this becoming the first
Skoda model to feature adaptive suspension,
named dynamic chassis control in this
case. Theres the option of an electric rear
tailgate, and the boot can be opened by way
of a foot gesture under the rear bumper,
allowing access to the luggage space when
your hands are full. Theres an automated
self-parking system, too, as well as the
option of a reversing camera. The traditional
hand brake has been replaced by an electric
park brake in the latest car, as well as
auxiliary heating, a wireless heated front
windscreen and heated seats for when the
colder months are at their most ferocious.
On the safety front, theres seven airbags,
and the option of adaptive cruise control, a
pre-crash system, lane assist, an autonomous
emergency braking system, driver drowsiness
detection and blind spot recognition.

All of the engines in the new Superb
line-up meet the latest Euro 6 emissions
standards and come fitted with stop-start
and brake energy recovery technology
as standard. All units are available with
both manual and twin-clutch automatic
transmissions, and theres the option of
four-wheel-drive featuring a fifth-generation
Haldex clutch system. The entry-level 1.6litre TDI unit develops 118bhp, with a pair
of 2.0-litre TDI engines developing 148 and
188bhp. The most frugal engine in the range
wears the GreenLine nameplate and emits
just 95g/km of CO2, while being capable of
achieving 76.3mpg on the combined cycle.
The efficiency gains have been possible
thanks to a 75kg reduction in weight,
together with better aerodynamics.
The latest Superb is set to arrive in UK
showrooms in September, and so it is
still too early to predict prices and final
specifications. These are expected to be
revealed after the Geneva motor show, while
an estate version of the Superb will arrive at
dealers during October.

INSIGHT
THE FUTURE OF DS
R
emember the DS arm of Citron

the one that introduced us to
the distinctive shark fin pillar and
floating roof of the DS 3? Well, now it has
taken the bold step to go it alone, and
separate from its sister firm, Citron.
And as the first model was unveiled in
Paris last month, it has become clear that
DS bosses have a host of premium car
manufacturers in their sights. Gone are
any signs of the Citron double chevrons,
and instead the new DS 5 boasts a striking
front end guaranteed to stand out from the
crowd. Theres a new sculpted and upright
interwoven grille, with the DS logo sitting
proudly in the centre, with further badging
on the bonnet, wheel hubs, along the door
sills and throughout the car. Other standout features include full-LED headlights,
sequential sweeping indicators and what
designers describe as the DS Wings which
is a nod to the historical DS models dating
back to 1955.
The interior is suitably refined, and
the introduction of a state-of-the-art
touchscreen has meant a reduction of 12
buttons to click, resulting in a clutterfree, yet feature-rich cabin with a range
of different connectivity
capabilities. Built in
Sochaux, France, the
DS 5 is kitted out with
the finest leathers and
materials to create a
premium quality vehicle
that DS executives hope
will appeal to buyers that
would normally choose
a premium marque, like
Audi or Land Rover.
The seats, for example,
feature attractive watchstrap design patterns and
even offer a massaging function for the
ultimate in refinement.
It would seem the future has been clearly
mapped out as Arnaud Ribault, Global Sales
and Marketing Director for DS, explained:
DS is a car that is designed for people who
want the finer things in life, and we aim
to attract a new generation of premium
customers. Its not every day that a new
brand is launched, but the DS approach is
very different. We have the 1955 heritage,
Citrons quality and now the DS brand.
Its an evolution, but still the creation of
something very new and unique.
He went on to say that we tried to
create a line of cars within Citron,
but this caused a problem, as there
are limitations when working within
another brand.
The new DS 5 arrives in UK
showrooms in July, with buyers
able to choose from a selection of
BlueHDi engines, all meeting the
latest Euro 6 emissions regulations.
A single 1.6-litre BlueHDi 120
model kicks off the range, along
with a pair of 2.0-litre BlueHDi 150
and BlueHDi 180 models. CO2 emissions

will range from 100 to 110g/km, with a
four-wheel-drive diesel-hybrid edition also
forming part of the line-up. Prices are set
to be announced after the Geneva motor
show, but Mr Ribault indicated that the cost
will be similar to the current line-up, which
would suggest a price range of between
23,500 and 34,000. And although we
havent driven the car yet, Alain Joseph,
Product Planning Manager, said: DS 5 is a
blueprint of whats to come. The new shock
absorbers enhance comfort, while noise
levels have been filtered. Its still extremely
dynamic, but more reassuring and more
comfortable at lower speeds.
DS aims to have six models on sale by
2020 and according to Mr Ribault, SUV
models are very likely to be included
within the mix. And judging by the recent
announcement that a new B-segment DS
model will be built at its Poissy Plant,
alongside the DS 3, speculation is rife that
it will be a new compact crossover vehicle
to compete against the next Nissan Juke
and Renault Captur.

SECOND GENERATION
TOURAN UNVEILED
B
y the time the first examples of the

new Touran arrive in UK showrooms
in November, it will be a little over 12
years since the Touran name plate first burst
onto the scene. This time around, the multipurpose vehicle makes use of the modular
transverse matrix, more commonly referred
to as the MQB platform that means that this
car shares common architecture and engines
with a wide range of other Volkswagen Group
products, including the Golf and Passat.
The new Touran will be offered in the UK
with a choice of five- or seven-seats this time
around, and grows by 130 millimetres in
length. Much of this extra length has been
added to the wheelbase, which increases by
113 millimetres, delivering extra space for
passengers, as well as a bigger boot. Its
wider than before, too, with a roofline that
is marginally lower than before. Volkswagen
designers have taken a fresh look at all
aspects of the cars versatility, and a new
lighter weight, fold-flat seating system has
been created, where the third and second
row of seats fold down easily to create a
level platform. The second row of seats, with
three individual chairs, can be slid forward
and aft to balance between extra legroom or
carrying capacity and the rake of the seat back
adjusted for greater comfort. In the third row
of seating, theres an extra 54 millimetres
of space for legs, and 13 millimetres more
headroom, and access has been optimised
compared to the outgoing car, with an easyentry function that slides the seat forward
in front, for easier access. Storage has
been enhanced, too, with up to 47 different
compartments dotted around

the cabin.
Under the bonnet are
the latest generation TDI
engines, with a choice of an
entry-level 108bhp 1.6-litre
TDI unit, or a pair of 2.0litre TDI units developing
148 and 188bhp. The latter
unit is paired exclusively to
a six-speed twin-clutch DSG
automatic transmission, with
the other two units offered
with a choice of manual or
automatic gearboxes. In the Tourans most
frugal form, in 1.6-litre TDI DSG automatic
guise, 68.9mpg is quoted as the official
combined fuel economy figure, with is 7.5mpg
more fuel efficient than the outgoing model.
Thanks to new weight saving techniques, the
new Touran is up to 62 kilograms lighter than
its predecessor.
A range of new technology has been
incorporated into the Touran for the first time,
including autonomous emergency braking,
adaptive cruise control, a pre-crash occupant
protection system, traffic jam assist and
trailer assist, as well as a range of other safety
devices. LED headlights replace the bi-Xenon
units that the previous generation Touran
had, and theres the option of an electric rear
tailgate for the first time. The conventional
hand brake lever is abandoned in favour of
an electric item, and theres the option of
selectable driving modes for the first time.
Connectivity of smartphones is given a high
priority, with the availability of Apple CarPlay,
Android Auto and MirrorLink for the first time,

all operated via the infotainment system with
either five- or eight-inch touchscreen displays.
The all-new Touran makes its debut at the
Geneva motor show, before arriving in UK
showrooms in November. As well as offering
the choice of five- or seven-seats, sporty R-Line
editions are being offered for the first time, a
sign that this MPV is a whole lot more dynamic
in both appearance and driving experience
compared to its predecessor.

208 REVISED
FOR 2015
emarkably, by the time the updated

208 supermini goes on sale in the UK
in June, it will be three years since the
original car arrived in dealer showrooms, and
Peugeot is marking the occasion by releasing
a series of subtle styling changes, new more
frugal Euro 6 engines and a greater range of
personalisation options. At the same time,
sporty GT Line editions join the line-up, giving
buyers the opportunity to buy a car that shares
the looks of the flagship GTi, paired with an
engine range that is more affordable.
The majority of the changes are centred
around the front bumper, which features a
wider grille, while the headlights now combine
LED daytime running lights with black and
chrome detailing on Active models and above.
At the rear, the light clusters have been
redesigned to incorporate the companys
trademark claw-like motif, and theres a fresh
range of alloy wheel options to choose from.
On the inside, theres a better quality steering
wheel on Active models and above, and the
soft-touch central strip has been revised so
that it is more sumptuous on the plusher
versions. New for the touchscreen is what
Peugeot calls MirrorScreen which replicates

Two other additional pieces of technology

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

power outputs. The first
two engines are paired
to a five-speed manual
gearbox and are capable
of a remarkable 94.1mpg
and CO2 emissions of just
79g/km, while the 118bhp
edition emits 94g/km and
is mated to a six-speed
manual transmission.
New GT Line models
adopt features from the
well-respected 208 GTi, but
are paired to more affordable BlueHDi engines
with 98 and 118bhp power outputs. Theres
17-inch alloy wheels, a gloss black grille with
red three-dimensional markings, front fog
light surrounds and door mirror shells in
black, as well as a chrome window surround
and exhaust finisher. Inside, theres black and
red sports seats with red stitching, which is
duplicated on the gear lever gaiter, handbrake
grip and door panels. The flat-bottomed
steering wheel continues the theme with red
stitching, and the black seat belts have a
red stripe running through them. The sporty
appearance is completed by aluminium sports

pedals and door sill finishers.
The revised range is set to arrive in Peugeot
showrooms in June, with prices and final
specifications to be announced after the car is
revealed at the Geneva motor show.

EVOQUE
GOES ECO
W
ith the Range Rover Evoque

having passed its third birthday,
its facelift time for the upmarket
SUV, with tweaks to the exterior and cabin,
and a fresh range of engines. The headline
figure for the most frugal edition is now
109g/km of CO2 and a claimed 67.3mpg on
the combined cycle.
Styling changes include a new front
bumper that incorporates a larger air intake,
full-LED headlights with a new frontal
light signature, a revised rear spoiler and
a selection of new choices of alloy wheel.
Two new grille designs are differentiated
by two horizontal bars and a fine mesh
on the standard model, whereas Dynamic
versions incorporate a hexagonal design,
with a more prominent mesh pattern. On
HSE Dynamic and Autobiography models,
distinctive bonnet vents that were previously
reserved for coup models are fitted for
the first time. Inside, theres a redesigned
instrument binnacle, a brand new InControl
Touch infotainment system and eight-inch
touchscreen, as well as new seats and door
casings, and a selection of different colours
and materials compared to before.
But the biggest change is focused upon
the engine, where the Evoque gains the
latest Ingenium engines already announced
for the Jaguar XE. The new all-aluminium
2.0-litre four-cylinder powerplants are
between 20 and 30 kilograms lighter
than its predecessor, and have
been designed to produce low
levels of noise and vibration.
Two power outputs are available, 148bhp

and 188bhp, with the former 18 per cent
more efficient than its predecessor. In eD4
two-wheel-drive Coup guise, the Evoque
is capable of emitting 109g/km of CO2,
with fuel economy figures of 67.3mpg,
while the more powerful 188bhp unit
achieves 125g/km and 58.9mpg. Selective
catalyst reduction is fitted as standard, in
combination with low-pressure exhaust
gas recirculation to reduce the amount
of NOx emissions. Service intervals have
been extended, too, with all editions now
capable of travelling 21,000 miles between
maintenance visits. The low emissions
versions of the Evoque now wear a blue
Evoque badge and are designated as
E-capability variants,
highlighting that they are
the most efficient Land
Rover has ever made.
DAB digital radio is
standard across the entire
line-up, and for the first
time, theres the option of a
hands-free tailgate function,
whereby the boot can be
opened by waving a foot
beneath the rear bumper.
All-terrain progress control,
as seen on the Range Rover and Range

Rover Sport, makes its first experience on
the baby Evoque, which can maintain a
pre-determined speed over tricky ground,
relieving stress, and allowing the driver to
concentrate on steering over the difficult
terrain. Driver drowsiness detection, a
lane keeping assistant and autonomous
emergency braking are all available, too.
Prices and final specifications will be
revealed at the beginning of April, with
the line-up revised to fall in line with the
Range Rover Sport. SE, HSE Dynamic and
Autobiography versions will replace the
previous line-up when the first 2016 model
year Evoques arrive in UK Land Rover
showrooms in August.
But the biggest change is focused upon the engine,

where the Evoque gains the latest Ingenium engines
already announced for the Jaguar XE.

2 SERIES GRAN TOURER

HAS SPACE FOR SEVEN
ollowing the launch of BMWs first

front-wheel-drive and multi-purpose
vehicle last year, the German
company is further expanding the line-up
with a new seven-seat edition wearing the
2 Series Gran Tourer nameplate. The new
car has a wheelbase that is longer by 11
centimetres, which helps to accommodate
the extra third row of seats. Not only is it
longer, but it is also taller than its sister
car, allowing the rearmost occupants to
sit upright, with excellent all-round vision.
The middle row of seats not only slide
forward and aft, but also can be reclined
for a more relaxing seating position. Load
space in five-seat mode has improved to
560 litres, while folding the second and
third row of chairs down flat opens the
space up to 1,820 litres, with the ability to
carry long loads of up to 2.6 metres.
Like its five-seat sister car, the 2 Series
Active Tourer, the seven-seat version
comes powered by a selection of three-

218d and 220d xDrive monikers. First
up is the 114bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder
216d model, packing 199lb ft of torque,
followed by a 148bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder
unit developing 243lb ft of punch, with

ENHANCEMENTS
ith the only exterior change made to the rear tail lights,
which gains a new lighting signature thanks to the

inside and start the engine to appreciate the improvements made
to the Volkswagen Sharan. All of the new engines meet the latest
Euro 6 emissions regulations and are available in a choice of 114,
148 and 181bhp power outputs. In the outgoing model, the middle
and higher output engines produced 138 and 174bhp, respectively,
so theres some useful enhancements to the performance. As
before, both high power engines are offered with a six-speed dualclutch DSG automatic transmission, as well as a six-speed manual
gearbox. Technology enhancements include the introduction
of Volkswagens second-generation infotainment system, which
integrates MirrorLink, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so that
users can make better use of their smartphones. Theres a
selection of upgraded materials for the cabin, as well as an uprated
instrument cluster. Finally, automatic post-collision braking is
included as standard for the first time, and autonomous emergency
braking, a lane-keeping assistant, adaptive cruise control,
blind spot monitors and an automated parking system that can
automatically exit from a space as well as park in it, are available as
optional extras. The revised Sharan will be available to order later

CEED DIESEL GETS SPORTIER
ot only has Kia has added some visual drama to its ceed
diesel hatchback and Sportswagon, with the introduction
of new GT Line editions, but has also added a new
seven-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission into the bargain,
the first time the brand has offered such a gearbox. Designed
in-house at the companys Namyang research and development
centre in South Korea, the transmission is paired exclusively to
an uprated 131bhp 1.6-litre CRDi engine, producing 210lb ft
of torque. Although CO2 emissions and fuel economy figures
have yet to be revealed, Kia says that it is expects to be much
more efficient than the torque-converter equipped six-speed
automatic transmission that it replaces. The new ceed GT Line
will be available in the UK in the autumn, and comes equipped

with more dynamic looking sports bumpers, dual exhausts at the
rear and a subtle diffuser. LED rear light clusters, 17-inch alloy
wheels and side sill extensions complete the exterior upgrades.
Inside, theres sporty grey, white and black upholstery with grey
stitching, a piano black leather steering wheel, aluminium pedals
and a smattering of GT Line badging. Theres also an aluminium
ignition button, illumination for the USB and auxiliary sockets
and chrome trim around the air vents and electric window

THIS MONTH
THIS MONTH
A month in the world of motoring
13TH FEBRUARY 2015

Its been some time since I last
spent time in a Peugeot 208, and I
had forgotten what a pleasant little
supermini it is. The reason for my
re-acquaintance was the introduction
of the new BlueHDi 120 engine, which
is the first diesel powerplant to meet
the latest Euro 6 emissions regulations
in the French-built supermini. Packing
118bhp and 210lb ft of torque, its
a right pocket rocket, and actually
feels a whole lot more rapid than the
on-paper figures suggest. A top speed
of 118mph and acceleration to 62mph
in 9.4 seconds doesnt actually sound
that fast, but from behind the go-kartlike small steering wheel, its more than
fast enough. And when you factor in
the fact that it boasts CO2 emissions
of just 94g/km and a claimed fuel
economy figure of 78.5mpg on the
combined cycle, its actually quite kind
to the pocket, as well as tugging at the
heart strings.
Our five-door flagship Felinespecification test car is a bit of a rarity
these days, as few car makers actually
make a hotter diesel supermini with
five-doors. Check out the data pages
for the Fiesta, Corsa, Polo and Clio, and
youll not see a single diesel edition
that even breaches the 100bhp barrier.
Of course in the past there was the
well-respected Skoda Fabia vRS 1.9
TDI, but remarkably that has been out
of production for almost eight years,
without a replacement in sight. The
same fate has befallen the 141bhp SEAT
Ibiza FR 2.0 TDI, which has been quietly
dropped by its Spanish makers, and this
just leaves MINI to fly the flag for hot
five-door superminis, with the 168bhp
Cooper SD appealing to enthusiasts that
have a penchant for performance.
15TH FEBRUARY 2015

A quick dash across to The Midlands
and back turned into a mammouth
seven-hour journey, thanks to a
combination of torrential rain and the
fact that other motorists had gone
banger racing on the M25, rendering it
closed at Potters Bar. A bright idea to
re-route onto the North Circular Road
wasnt so great when everyone else
had the same idea, resulting in 20-odd

miles of mainly stop-start driving. It
wasnt until we navigated around the
Hanger Lane gyratory that the open
road beckoned. By now it was dark, and
the rainfall was relentless. But what
could have been a really unpleasant
journey actually turned into a pleasure
as the baby Peugeot 208 cut through
the puddles and downpours without any
sign of aquaplaning or buffeting that a
small car would normally experience.

Its surefootedness really impressed me,
delivering the kind of reassurance that
you would expect from a hefty SUV.
And despite the type of motoring that
isnt particularly eco-friendly stopstart, nose-to-tail and with a foot-tothe-floor driving style when the traffic
allowed it delivered a remarkable fuel
economy figure that was in the mid-tohigh 60s.
19
YEARS AGO...
The cover of the April 1996 issue of Diesel Car proudly
introduced a pair of brilliant newcomers the Peugeot
406 and Volkswagen Polo both of which gained gongs
in the magazines annual car of the year awards. There
were some tough class winners, notably the Volvo 850
TDI, Ford Galaxy and Vauxhall Frontera, but in the end,
the winner of the small family category took the overall
prize, the Rover 220 SDi. Our testers commended the baby Rover by
saying the dynamics are as pleasing the style. Elsewhere, there were tests of the Nissan
Patrol GR, which was marked down for being too big, clumsy and thirsty. Toyotas firstever turbodiesel car, the Carina E, was put through its paces, with editor John Kerswill
declaring it not outstanding in either performance or refinement and rather like a sort
of oriental Passat spacious, functional, sensible, but a bit lacking in style or flair.

year before, the 35th time that
this has happened in a row. This
time the figures are up by 6.7 per
cent to 164,856 units, which is

since 2007. Theres particular
strength in the company car
market, and also alternative fuel

year. The Mitsubishi Outlander
PHEV continues to dominate
this market, with 815 examples
registered in January. The bestselling hybrid was the Toyota
Auris, at 707 registrations, while
the biggest selling all-electric car
was predictably the Nissan Leaf,
shifting 319 examples.
Crossovers continue to dominate
the diesel segment in January, with
the Nissan Qashqai the best-selling
diesel car, with the Range Rover
Evoque in at number seven, and the
Ford Kuga at number eight. In the
premium segment, the MercedesBenz C-Class was the highest
selling upmarket diesel, followed
by the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz
A-Class. Interestingly, the latter
two both outsell the Vauxhall
Astra in diesel guise. Fords Fiesta
continues its winning streak,
grabbing the overall top spot, with
the Vauxhall Corsa snapping at its
heels at number two. Fascinatingly,
the Mercedes-Benz C-Class was the
biggest selling large car, outselling
the Vauxhall Insignia by more than
500 units.

model, make sure that the XC90 is an
exceptionally competent car on the road.
The ride quality is sublime, isolating you
from the rougher parts of the road with
a degree of finesse rarely seen, even
on cars with six-figure price
tags. But ride quality isnt
at the expense of handling
ability, though, with the twotonne XC90 able to be hauled
round bends with confidence.
Theres a fair amount of body
roll when pressing on, but at
slower speeds its light and
surprisingly agile, making it as
easy to drive through a busy
city as it is on the open road.
Adjustable suspension, steering
and throttle settings enable you to pin

down your preferred set-up, although none
could be considered sporty despite the
221bhp produced by the 2.0-litre fourcylinder D5 engine. Hushed and refined,
youll barely notice the engine until the
throttle is pressed hard. A growl is audible
as it powers you to 62mph in 7.8 seconds,
although it never feels quick thanks to
that isolation. The eight-speed automatic
gearbox is suitably smooth, most of the
time, although does let the side down
when under pressure, leaving changes
slightly too late and momentarily spoiling
the tranquil atmosphere in the cabin.
The cabin itself is a pretty special place
to be, with three years of work ensuring
it is just right. Soft flowing lines with
stitched leather and light wood detailing
looks suitably Swedish, and theres a sense
of quality throughout the whole interior.
Nowhere will you find cheap plastics,
even low down by the floor, while every

touch point has had special attention

paid to it. The dominant feature of the
dashboard, a centrally positioned seveninch touchscreen, works effectively. As
well as detecting touch, there are banks of
infra-red sensors that pick up where youre
pressing before you contact the screen,
making it feel not only incredibly quick
and snappy, but with the happy side effect
that its useable while wearing gloves.
Clear graphics make it easy to use, while
a single swipe to either side will bring
up seldom-used, but important controls.
Only the clunky movement of the climate
controls on the screen detracts, but for
every driver that changes settings on every
journey, therell be another that just sets
it to a single temperature and then never
touches it again.
In the middle row, the three seats will
accommodate adults with ease, with
another two jump seats behind that.
Theyre positioned slightly inwards to
allow a good view for their occupants and
theyre even big enough to take adults.
Each row also has its own air vents, and all
of the chairs fold down with a single pull
of a lever, providing a completely flat load
bay. With all seven seats in place the boot

heres been a lot of activity at French

car maker Citron over the past year,
not least launching the new C4 Cactus,
the new C1 city car and expanding the range
of C4 Picassos to include a seven-seat edition.
Now its time to spruce up other models in
the line-up, like this C4 hatchback, including
the launch of brand new Euro 6 compliant
BlueHDi engines. Youll need to be eagleeyed to notice the changes to the front of the
Focus-sized hatchback, though there are new
headlights and daytime running lights. Its at
the back that theres a more dramatic change,
with new 3D-effect light clusters that serve to
widen the stance of the revised car. Inside,
theres a new seven-inch touchscreen that
comes as standard on top-spec Flair models,
and the option of a new 17-inch alloy wheel
design, though we would stick to the standard
16-inch items for a more comfortable ride.
All of the diesel engines emit less than
100g/km of CO2 in the revised line-up, with
the option of a 98bhp 1.6-litre BlueHDi unit,
with or without stop-start technology, and
a more powerful 118bhp edition as tested
here. A flagship 148bhp 2.0-litre BlueHDi
engine is also offered in top-spec Flair guise.
Our test car made decent progress through a
mix of hill routes and cityscapes. Its a quiet
unit, even when youre in a press-on kind of
mood, with plenty of mid-range torque and a

flexible nature. The six-speed manual

gearbox has a creamy action, with third
gear delivering excellent pace. The
stop-start system operates efficiently,
cutting power as you come to a halt and
restarting effortlessly without any sign
of vibration. The brakes are progressive
and deliver decent bite, and the steering
is light, if left a little bit wanting in the feel
department, though the driver always has a
good idea of what the front wheels are up to.
Theres some lean through sharper bends, but
overall body control is neatly balanced, and
grip levels appreciably high. Wind noise is kept
well in check and ride comfort is softly sprung,
making it a decent companion on a long
distance journey. But beware, if you opt for
the larger wheels that are an optional extra, be
prepared for a deterioration in ride quality.
Apart from the new
touchscreen on upmarket Flair
models, there havent been any
changes made to the cabin, and
thats just fine, because the C4
is actually quite a nice place to
spend time. The mouldings are
mainly of the soft-touch variety

utting the roof off a car can introduce

all sorts of unwanted traits, from
scuttle shake and vague steering,
through to a loss of boot space and water
ingress. For their latest topless TT, Audi
couldnt let that happen, so have strengthened
key elements of the chassis, windscreen and
sills. Their promise is that the Roadster is
every bit as agile and refined as the coup
which at its launch last year, got rave reviews.
Unfortunately, our test of the Roadster was
carried out in horrendous conditions, with
torrential rain turning the twisty roads slick,
highlighting a flaw; releasing all 280 lb ft at
once meant the limited traction offered by
the front wheels struggled to keep everything
under control. Instead it was a case of waiting
for the electronics to overcome the wheel spin
as you slipped across the road surface, before
being catapulted towards the next corner.
Thanks to that huge wave of torque that
arrives at 1,750rpm, it was difficult to drive
smoothly in the conditions, but strong brakes,
quick and weighty steering that gets more
direct as speeds increase, and crisp action
from the manual gearbox still made it plenty
of fun to hustle around the twisty bits. The
all-wheel-drive quattro that arrives later cant
come soon enough.

conditions, while clever sound piping

from the engine bay to the cabin
adds some surprisingly effective aural
stimulation when you want to enjoy
things a little more. The dreadful
weather allowed us to thoroughly test
the Roadsters key feature the fabric
roof. Theres no folding metal roof, like
in its biggest rival, the Mercedes-Benz
SLK, in the interests of keeping weight down
and minimising any packaging issues, so
youre left with a triple-layer covering and a
pair of motors weighing just 39kg in total. The
roof operates with a quick press of a button
near the electronic handbrake, getting the job
done in just 10 seconds. An optional open-top
driving pack includes head-level heating, an
electrically operated wind deflector and heated
sports seats, making life more comfortable.
That said, once the roof is closed, you would
be hard pushed to tell the difference between
the soft-top and the coup, such is the level
of isolation on offer. That allows you to
pay more attention to the glorious interior.
Ahead sits a virtual cockpit that eschews the
traditional dials for a 12.3-inch screen that
brings every piece of information in to the
drivers eye line. As the satellite navigation,
audio system and vehicle information is
moved up front, the centre stack is left nearly
empty, while the climate controls have been

The combination of high-tech wizardry and

leaves behind a beautifully uncluttered and

Every improvement, in terms of design,
build, handling and economy means that the

is, but with the additional joy of roof-down
motoring. Its easy to live with, better to drive
and cheaper to run than its rivals and, on those

nyone that can spot a facelifted Audi

A1 in the street deserves a medal, as
the changes are subtle at best. Only
the geekiest amongst us, or perhaps Audi
enthusiasts, will be able to pick out all of the
changes. Redesigned bumpers mean that the
A1 is 19 millimetres longer than before, and
a flatter, wider front grille is a touch more
prominent this time around. Revisions to the
headlights and tail lights give a freshened
appearance, and the rear diffuser is both lower
and wider. Small touches indeed, while on the
inside, theres a smattering of extra chrome
and piano black detailing to lift the calibre of
the cabin even further. Sport models, as tested
here, gain a choice of different driving modes
for the first time, and the steering is now
electromechanical and more energy efficient,
with its electric motor mounted on the steering
wheel. But the most significant change for
diesel fans is the introduction of a more
powerful 114bhp 1.6-litre TDI engine that can
be paired to a five-speed manual gearbox,
or for the first time a seven-speed S tronic
twin-clutch automatic transmission, as tested
here. And unlike many self-shifting gearboxes,
theres only a very small penalty at the fuel
pumps for choosing the auto box just
4.4mpg and 5g/km of CO2, which in regular
everyday motoring, youll hardly notice.

and the new more powerful engine is

a delight, with almost imperceptible
changes and strong, eager performance,
particularly in the mid-range. Its like
a mini pocket rocket, thanks to alert,
precise steering and taut body control,
as well as strong brakes with good bite.
Through fast bends, theres loads of
grip, and the overall feeling is of a planted,
surefooted little car. Despite revisions to the
suspension to improve ride comfort, its still
too firm, particularly at lower speeds, crashing
into bumps and transmitting far too much of
the poor surfaces into the cabin. At motorway
speeds, however, the A1 is transformed, where
it delivers a calm and comfortable ride.
There was little wrong with the cabin of the
A1 before, and thankfully the designers have
taken an if it aint broke approach to this
facelift. The fascia is attractively designed,
made from plush feeling materials, with the
turbine-like air vents a particular highlight.
All of the controls are logically arranged for
clarity, and the infotainment screen is nicely
placed so you dont have to take your eyes
off the road for very long. The seats are
nicely stuffed, delivering great lateral support,
keeping you firmly in place when cornering.

thanks to relatively deep side windows. The

but in the back the space is merely average

space is par for the course at 270 litres, and
thanks to a wide opening and an underfloor

hunky-looking cars with a mildly

rugged style and elevated seating
position really seem to hit the spot
with a growing band of drivers. Sales of
compact crossover SUVs have been on the
rise, and are now forecast to more than
double across Europe over the next five
years. So Suzuki is right on trend with the
arrival of its new Vitara, pitched against rivals
such as the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur and
Vauxhall Mokka. Cheekily, the new Vitara
has a clamshell bonnet with echoes of Range
Rover Evoque styling. There the similarity
ends, and the Suzuki crossover may have
grander pretentions, but it is clearly in a
lower league on both price and quality. It is
available in both front-wheel-drive and with
Allgrip four-wheel-drive. It is the former that
will be the big seller: only around a quarter
of Vitara sales in the UK are expected to the
Allgrip models, but all of the launch cars were
equipped with it.
The diesel model, mooted for 25 per cent
of UK cars, has a 1.6-litre Fiat engine under
the bonnet, with a 118bhp power output.
Although the car is quite light, performance
is pretty average, with a fairly leisurely 12.4
seconds acceleration time. But it feels quite
perky through the gears and is pleasant to
drive, with tidy manners and reasonable

steering feel. The ride and handling

balance is well sorted for a car of this
type, quite short-bodied and relatively
tall. You do notice a bit of body lean on
the tighter bends, but the Vitara tucks
in nicely with assured handling, and
the ride quality is quite impressive. On
some rather poor surfaces on rural back roads
the suspension set-up and damping did a
decent job of keeping any unpleasantness out
of the cabin.
Cabin quality is a bit of a let-down.
Everything is very plasticky and all the
surfaces are hard, giving the interior a rather
cut-price ambiance. There are nice touches
though, with the option for the external
body colour to be carried across to the
dashboard and around the air vents, and a
cute little clock that can be specified in any
of three designs, including one with arty
Japanese numerals. Interior space feels pretty
reasonable for the overall body length, and
back seat passengers have adequate legroom
with a six-footer sitting in front. The boot,
at 375 litres, is narrowly one of the largest
amongst rival cars, and it comes with a
horizontal luggage board that gives a flat-load
floor with concealed space underneath.

ith the Mazda6 only having been

on sale for two years, you wouldnt
think it was time for a change. But
with the Japanese firm paying close attention
to critique from reviewers and listening to
feedback from its owners, Mazdas largest
saloon and Tourer has come in for some
attention. While all models get a revised, better
quality interior, its only the top-spec Sport Nav
models that gain any exterior changes, with a
redesigned front grille, new alloy wheels and
reprofiled rear light clusters. All editions gain
extra soundproofing to reduce road noise, and
interior quality has been nudged a little higher,
gaining revisions to the dashboard design,
an improved seven-inch infotainment screen
and an electric park brake for the first time.
All of these enhancements are quite small in
isolation, but designed to keep the Mazda6 in
contention while capable cars like the latest
Ford Mondeo and VW Passat are launched.
What hasnt changed is the hugely
charismatic 2.2-litre diesel engine, which
continues in 148 and 173bhp guises. Our
test car featured the more powerful unit
of the two, with a creamy manual gearbox
and six nicely chosen ratios, which combine
to deliver excellent pace and sizeable midrange pull. Theres an intoxicating sound

deliver good stopping power to bring

for a cross-country gallop, where agile,
precise steering pairs with great body
control and high levels of grip to deliver
an entertaining drive. Its equally at
home on the motorway, where engine noise is
appreciably low, and both wind and road noise
are well contained, and while the suspension
has a firm edge to it, youll only notice the
deepest ruts and potholes, and on faster
A-roads, it remains controlled and supple.
There wasnt a lot wrong with the outgoing
Mazda6 for the way that the cabin was
styled, but the latest improvements shift the
quality up a notch compared to before. Its
disappointing that the tablet-style infotainment
screen doesnt feature touchscreen
functionality, but its graphics are
clear and easy to understand, and
all controlled by an intuitive dial
placed between the front seats.
Theres a nice action to all of the
buttons, and the controls are

plenty of room for oddments, with a good

Unusually this saloon edition features an
eight centimetre longer wheelbase compared
to the Tourer, endowing our test car with an
extremely generous amount of rear legroom.
Up front theres lots of headroom, too, and
there wont be many complaints in the back,
either. Boot space is well up to class standards,

he old phrase time goes fast when

youre having a good time must apply
to cars, too, as it doesnt seem like
three and a half years since the Q3 first went
on sale. In car terms, thats quite old, and
so here we are looking at the first examples
of the facelifted baby SUV, hitting UK shores
now. And while many of Audis mid-life
updates tend to be subtle, this revised Q3 is
instantly recognisable thanks to the redesigned
grille which extends outwards at the top to
encompass the new LED headlights on the S
line model tested. The front bumper has been
reprofiled, too, to give a bolder, more dramatic
look. At the rear theres redesigned tail lights
with LED technology for the first time, and this
edition has a natty scrolling effect that sweeps
in the direction that the driver intends to move.
Theres a new range of alloy wheels, and for
the first time, owners can choose a selection
of different modes to suit their driving style.
All of the diesel engines are more powerful
than before, with the entry-level 2.0-litre TDI
unit now boasting 148bhp up from 138bhp
and the more powerful engine now produces
181bhp, up 6bhp. Both units now meet the
latest Euro 6 emissions requirements and in
the case of our test car, emits 15g/km less
CO2 and is 4.4mpg more efficient. There is a
downside, however, and thats the fact that
the price tag has been inflated by 1,135,
compared to the outgoing car.

equips the Q3 with a hefty dose of grip,
feeling surefooted through the bends.
The precise, responsive steering gives
a feeling of agility, and thanks to well
controlled body lean, theres a healthy
dose of fun to be had. The combination
of 20-inch alloy wheels and the firmly sprung S
line suspension isnt a happy marriage, feeling
too bouncy at low speeds, while crashing in
and out of every rough surface and pothole.
Things get calmer at a faster pace, but we cant
help feel that smaller wheels may improve the
ride comfort greatly. Opting for the automatic
transmission over the comparable six-speed
manual car actually results in an efficiency
saving, with 2g/km lopped off the CO2 and
0.9mpg better fuel economy figures, not to
mention a more relaxing driving style. The
gearbox swaps cogs efficiently, and the
181bhp 2.0-litre TDI delivers excellent
performance with a hefty dose of midrange grunt.
The cabin of the Q3 is as good as it
has always been, with a simple, easy-tounderstand layout, and attractive design.
The chunky S line-badged steering wheel
is a delight to hold, and items like the
ventilation controls have a lovely sense of

of the infotainment screen is exactly where
you want it, within your field of vision, with
clear, colourful, easy to read graphics. With
such thoughtful design going on elsewhere,
we wonder why Audi designers chose such a
small lozenge-shaped rear view mirror, which
hinders rearward vision. The space inside the
Q3 belies its compact footprint, with plenty of
head and legroom both front and back. Boot
space is usefully more than youll find in a midsized family hatchback, with 420 litres of space
on tap, and this can be opened out further by
folding the rear chairs down.

It has been a long time coming, but the new Ford Mondeo is finally here and
ready to do battle with the latest Volkswagen Passat. Its a big boys fight,
and theres only one winner
arge family cars are not the driving force they once were.
In the 1970s, the Ford Cortina was Britains biggest
selling car. But by 1985 its successor, the Ford Sierra,
had slipped down to fifth place. When the first generation Ford
Mondeo arrived in 1992, it climbed back to second place, but
the downsizing trend has seen it slide steadily down the bestsellers chart, and since 2007 it has been out of the top ten as
smaller hatchbacks have become dominant. Now there is a new
Mondeo, just launched. But it has been a long time coming, and
already on sale in the US for more than two years. So it is older,
but has arrived onto the UK market at the same time as the new
generation Volkswagen Passat.

From the first few moments behind the wheel, the Mondeo
instantly pleases. It feels like one of those cars that flatters you
as a driver, with its meaty dynamics, strong grip and poised
handling. The previous Mondeo was the obvious class-leader
for driving dynamics, and this one doesnt have quite the same
pert precision, but remains out in front in this pairing. The ride
and handling balance is commendable, with great body control
and excellent behaviour through the bends, but with good bump
absorption over a variety of mixed surfaces. Its half a second
behind the Passat on a sprint past 62mph, but has better midrange punch. Creamy gear changes make driving a winding
B-road a joy, and the smooth progression of the brakes is quick
to bring you to a stop.
The Passat is also an enjoyable drive, but just not quite as
engaging. Here is a rapid, efficient mile-munching machine that
does everything with precision and finesse, but just doesnt make
you feel quite as good about it. With identical engine power, the
lighter-bodied Passat is just a touch quicker in its get-up-and-go
and has a very slightly higher top speed. This car feels almost too
civilised for its own good, with a driving experience that is highly
polished, but doesnt quite put a smile on your face. It does have
good steering feel and a very well sorted ride. Show it a twisty
country road, and the big VW makes light work of the bends, but
feels more in its element as a motorway grand tourer.

Both cabins are classy, but Ford scores a few more brownie
points for its flair and functionality. The instruments are great
for clarity and easier to read in low light, the air vents are well
placed and the infotainment screen is larger. Fords Sync2 system
is very intuitive to use and enhances the cabin experience.
Hallelujah for the standard-fit heated windscreen that clears the
glass quickly in winter. Its a real boon, and is an optional extra
on the VW. The Mondeos seats are excellent for comfort and
have a figure hugging shape that gives better lateral support on
the bends. The steering wheel is a little bigger, and has better
functionality. Overall the interior of the Mondeo has a slightly
more contemporary ambiance, with smooth flowing surfaces that
make it seem more up-market.
In the Passat, those long air vents stretching right across the
top of the dash seem like a good idea, but they dictate a rather
horizontal design to the fascia. It sets a tone that is rather

At almost 4.9 metres long, the Mondeo is the slightly bigger car
of the two, and this is reflected in a cabin that feels spacious
and has generous stretching room all round. The big advantage
that the Ford enjoys over its VW rival is having a hatchback body
within a basically similar rear silhouette. So the car looks just
as stylish as the Passat, but is a lot more versatile. The boot
aperture is much larger, and even though the Mondeos boot is
the smaller of the two, it is more accessible. With the rear seats
folded, there is a big difference between them, with a 285 litres
advantage in cargo space for the Mondeo. Thats a worthwhile
difference when you want to carry lots of kit.
The Passat certainly isnt short of space inside, but when
you jump in and out of both cars, this one doesnt seem quite
as roomy in the back. Some company car drivers prefer the
traditional style of a saloon, but it isnt as practical when you
need to load stuff into it, and have to duck past the somewhat
more restrictive bootlid. Nor does it afford any type of protection,
as a tailgate does, for loading the car in the rain. The Passats

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

Mondeo, but this wasnt available, and so our test car has CO2
emissions of 115g/km and fuel economy of 64.2mpg, rather
than 107g/km and 68.9mpg in the more eco-friendly edition.
Even so, both Mondeo models are eclipsed by this Passat, which
boasts 106g/km of CO2 and 70.6mpg on the combined cycle. For
the private buyer, it will mean that the Mondeo we test here will
cost 30 a year for the road tax, while the Passat is just 20 per
annum, with both cars road tax free in the first year. Business
users, on the other hand, would be better choosing the Passat (or
the Mondeo 2.0 TDCi ECOnetic) which fall into the 17 per cent
tiering, while the standard Mondeo 2.0 TDCi tested is in the 19
per cent bracket.
And the Passat remains ahead when it comes to insurance, with
the Ford in group 23, and the Volkswagen streets ahead in group
19. Both cars boast a warranty that covers the car for three years
or 60,000 miles, and maintenance is required every 18,000 miles
for the Mondeo and on a variable schedule on the Passat, with
the car automatically sensing and calculating how often it needs
a visit to the dealer, but usually around the 12,000 to 16,000
mile mark, or every year, depending upon which comes first.

that it will hold its value better. Standard heated front windscreen is a joy in the winter

More expensive to insure. The rear seats dont fold down totally flat.
Even though we test the Mondeo in flagship Titanium guise and

the Passat in mid-range SE Business trim, surprisingly it is the
Passat that comes out more expensive with a list price of 25,135,
compared to just 23,595 for the Ford. That 1,540 price different
could be narrowed by choosing the more frugal ECOnetic edition
of the Mondeo, to bring the fuel economy figures to a similar
level, but even so, the blue-oval badged Ford would still cost
23,745, leaving a difference of 1,390. Examining the lengthy
list of standard equipment, they both come well kitted out with

be commended for coming with a space saver spare wheel as

with the Volkswagen featuring autonomous emergency braking and
adaptive cruise control as standard both optional on the Ford.
Hill start assist and rear privacy glass is fitted, too, and theres
a choice of different driving modes to select from. The Mondeo
counters with the dual-zone climate control, whereas the Passat
features on-off air conditioning, and theres the exceptionally handy
heated front windscreen that is part of the Fords standard kit, but
costs an extra 150 on the Volkswagen. The Mondeo also boasts
automatic high beam for the headlights, a lane keeping aid and a
large eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, compared to just
6.5-inches on the Passat. One of the biggest disappointments on
the Ford, though, is that parking sensors come as an optional extra
at a hefty 450. For a car this large and at the top-of-the-range, it
should be standard equipment, like it is on the Volkswagen.
Our researchers shopped around for the best deal on this
pairing, and it was the Mondeo that came out the cheapest, by
a significant margin. The list price of 23,595 tumbled to just
18,374 courtesy of online car brokers www.broker4cars.co.uk,
which represents a whopping saving of 5,121, equivalent to

ever mind 50 shades of grey, the motoring scene is

awash with colour these days. Where monochrome
shades of silver, gunmetal, black, white, and yes, grey
once dominated the view in any car park, now there is a regular
peppering of brighter colours. MINI showed the way to grab
attention with its colourful personalisation of cars, and the trend is
spilling over into other marques. Hence we have here a new Skoda
Fabia in vivid blue, with white roof, mirrors and wheels. It stands
out in a young, fun kind of way. But thats not to all tastes, and the
latest Hyundai i20 it is up against in this small car twin test takes a
more conservative road, with a body colour that is, well, a shade of
grey. But thats just the aesthetics. Lets take a much closer look at
what else they have to woo our attention.

The big trend in small car engines is three-cylinder units, but the
i20s motor is a four-cylinder one. It does a decent enough job of
hauling a car that is the heavier of the two by some 200kg, but
it isnt quite as lively, with an acceleration time that is a second
slower than its rival. Power output is identical for both, but this
one is not quite as torquey. Steering feel is on the light side,
good for in-town manoeuvrability, but a little lacking in infirmity

at speed. The i20s body control is good, and it grips the bends
well. Ride quality is fine most of the time, although it doesnt
iron out all the undulations of a coarse surface, and you find
some degree of jostle permeating the cabin.
The Fabia is on trend with its three-cylinder engine, which
sounds distinctive and pulls very eagerly. It has the more willing
feel of the two, aided by a slightly shorter body and lower weight
to propel. It is quicker off the mark, with a higher top speed, and
is a likeable little car to drive quite eager through the gears.
Handling is tidy and well-controlled, and ride quality is quite
reasonable, but becomes a bit variable over a lumpy surface.
Interior and comfort
TWIN TEST
the i20s infotainment system doesnt come with touchscreen

control, which is becoming increasing the norm in rival models.
For general ambiance and comfort, though, the i20 is a class
act for its size and price. The choice of both materials and their
colour scheme is all a rung above the Fabia for elegance and
quality. Refinement is a little better too, with more subdued
engine noise and less wind ruffle.
Cabin-wise, the Fabia is the more conservative choice of the
two, with straighter lines and a slightly more corporate ambiance.
Skoda has pulled its socks up, though, with this new model Fabia.
The interior is clearly higher calibre than the previous model.
The materials used are better quality, and partly soft-touch. That
said, it still isnt quite as pleasingly plush as its rivals. Where it
does score is with details like the very user-friendly touchscreen
infotainment system high up in the dash, and the large door
pockets that swallow lots of your oddments. There is a good view
out in all directions, with no troubling blind spots. The seats
have good adjustment and are nicely bolstered, although ultimate
comfort is not quite a match for the i20.

to accommodate that travelling essential of a water bottle. Seat
folding is slick and easy, and while the boot sill height is a little
higher than the Fabias, its squarer aperture is just a touch more
convenient.
Skoda is known for its skill in car packaging, and the Fabia
is a good example. It squeezes a decent amount of internal
space into a relatively small body. The cabin feels snug but
un-squashed, and the boot in standard form is almost 30 litres
bigger than the i20s. Thats a worthwhile difference when you
need to shoehorn in a big supermarket haul of groceries, leisure
kit or holiday luggage. Seat folding is an easy action too. With its
rear seats stowed, the Fabias cargo size advantage is 133 litres.
Its odd that the smaller, lighter car crams in more capacity, but
it does make the Fabia the more practical car of the two, and it is
achieved without skimping on rear seat kneeroom.

the combined cycle. This compares to 88g/km and 83.1mpg on
the Fabia, giving a significant on-paper lead to the Fabia, with an
extra 14.2 miles possible from every gallon of fuel. In these cost
conscious days, this is nothing to be sniffed at. The good news
continues for business users, with the Skoda sitting in the 14
per cent company car benefit-in-kind bracket, with the Hyundai
several rungs higher at 17 per cent. The Fabia also qualifies for
free vehicle excise duty each year, with the i20 costing 20 per
annum after year one.
The tide is turned when it comes to aftersales care, with the
baby Hyundai featuring an excellent five-year, unlimited mileage
warranty, compared to the industry standard three years and
60,000 miles on the Skoda. For buyers that keep their cars for
a while, this is a significant advantage. Servicing is required
every year or 10,000 miles for the i20, with the Fabia featuring a
condition based service indicator on the dashboard, which tells
you when maintenance is needed. It varies depending upon your
driving style and the roads that you use, and typically indicates
service intervals of between 12,000 and 16,000 miles. Insurance
costs should be identical on this pairing, with each falling into
the same group 11.

Gone are the times when Skodas were budget priced, competing
at the lower end of the marketplace. Prices have crept up
in line with its credibility, with the marque now considered
highly amongst other mainstream contenders. And so here we
compare the mid-range Hyundai i20 SE with the top-of-the-range
Skoda Fabia SE L, which surprisingly have very similar levels of
equipment. The Fabia wears a price tag of 16,240, compared
to the bargain-priced i20 at 14,725. Opting for the mid-spec
Fabia SE would shave 850 off the price difference, but would
ultimately be left lacking in the equipment stakes, and the
Hyundai would still have the cheaper list price.
Both cars come with a useful amount of standard kit, including
Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, cruise control, 16-inch alloy
wheels, rear parking sensors, a variable height boot floor and
60/40 split/fold rear seats, as well as front fog lights, electric
front windows, an alarm system and electric and heated mirrors.
The Hyundai trumps the Skoda by providing a space saver spare
wheel as standard, with Fabia buyers having to either put up
with a tyre repair kit or stumping up 85 for a space saver spare.
Other notable standard equipment highlights in the i20 that the
Fabia does without are electric rear windows and a lane departure
warning system. The Skoda counters by providing climate control
in the standard kit list, compared to just on-off air conditioning
in the Hyundai, and also features autonomous emergency braking
an invaluable safety device to prevent low speed shunts DAB
digital radio, keyless entry and an auto-dimming rear view mirror.
Mirrorlink is also included within the price, allowing smartphone
users to see the same display on the touchscreen as they would
on their mobile phone.
Shopping around will yield a decent discount on either of these
pair, despite them both being newly on sale, with the Hyundai
i20 1.4 CRDi SE available at just 12,559 from online brokers

regulations. Tax free, and cheaper for business users. Responsive, agile steering.
Spacious, with a larger boot. Excellent all-round visibility. Cabin feels solid and
well screwed together.
Whats Not The engine can get raucous at the upper echelons of the rev range. Wind noise is
plentiful. Ride comfort can get unsettled on poorer surfaces. A space saver spare
wheel costs extra a tyre repair kit is standard. Interior isnt as plush as the i20s.
Because Hyundai hasnt

fitted fuel-saving stop-start
technology to the i20, its
eco-credentials arent as
strong as the Skoda

conditional that you take out the car makers finance, and bear
in mind that most online brokers wont take your old car in partexchange, meaning youll have to sell it yourself.
Verdict
Hyundai i20
HHHHH
Skoda Fabia
HHHHH
This one could go either way. Both cars have their strengths and
weaknesses. The i20 has neat styling and a classier cabin, the
Fabia is a little funkier in looks, but despite an upgrade inside, is
not quite a match internally. If it is livelier performance and better
efficiency you want, there is no doubt that the Fabia is out in
front. It is quicker, as well as more eco-friendly. It is also the more
practical car of the two for space utilisation. But and its a big
but in a budget car the i20 is significantly cheaper and comes
with an extra two years of warranty. But it isnt enough to swing
the decision pendulum in its favour. Its a win for the Skoda.

ust as Peugeot unveils an updated 208

at the Geneva motor show, weve got
behind the wheel of the latest addition
to the current 208 line-up, powered by the
very latest 1.6-litre BlueHDi 120 engine. Its
the first diesel engine in the supermini range
to meet the upcoming Euro 6 emissions
regulations. It replaces the e-HDi 115
powerplant, and boasts an extra 5bhp and
11lb ft of torque, as well as propelling the 208
to 62mph in 0.3 of a second faster. The cost
of this additional pace is an extra 250, but
some of this can be offset by the cars 5g/km
reduction in CO2 emissions and additional 4.2
miles that can be travelled with every gallon of
fuel. Available in top-spec Feline in five-door
guise, and luxury XY trim with three-doors, its
the former that we test here.
With 118bhp under your right foot, its a
swift performer away from the line, delivering
gutsy performance throughout the rev range.
Plentiful mid-range torque is aided by a slick
gearbox with six well chosen ratios. The
quick, precise steering gives a go-kart-like feel
through twisty bends, helped by taut body
control, excellent grip and low levels of lean.
Out test involved a 100-mile high speed dash
along waterlogged motorways and back roads,
and the baby Peugeot displayed huge levels of
grip, feeling planted and surefooted. Most rival
small cars would become scary, aquaplaning

quiet and refined, especially from cold,

accelerator pedal is at full tilt. Only a

speeds spoils the party, transmitting potholes

Theres a smidgeon of wind noise at speed,
though road noise is nicely contained.
Despite having one of the smallest

wonders on packaging, as the 208 is actually
pretty roomy. The boot space is close to

the arrangement suiting average height drivers

nyone that writes off the latest Corsa

as more of the same, will be missing
out, as despite having a similar
silhouette to the previous generation car,
under the skin, big changes have been made.
Of course the most noticeable change is the
adoption of a similar nose treatment to the
Adam city car, which wont necessarily suit
all tastes, but theres also a brand new smartlooking interior and the underpinnings and
mechanicals have been extensively revised,
too. Here we test the new Corsa with the
latest incarnation of the 1.3-litre CDTi engine,
originally developed in association with Fiat,
and now capable of meeting the latest Euro
6 emissions regulations. CO2 emissions are
super low at 87g/km, with 85.6mpg claimed
on the combined fuel economy cycle. In
our tests, we managed to exceed 70mpg
in normal everyday motoring, and that was
without any eye towards driving economically.
The latest 94bhp 1.3-litre CDTi engine
is one of the cars strongest assets, as it is
super quiet, refined and doesnt even get
raucous when you bury the accelerator pedal
in the footwell. Acceleration is pretty decent,
with more than enough mid-range punch
to keep up with city traffic. The six-speed
manual gearbox has a touch of notchiness in
first gear, but otherwise is slick and smooth,

attribute, while on the motorway, theres
a calm, mature level of ride comfort.
The steering feels relatively agile and
precise, delivering a light action around town,
that weights up the faster you go. Handling
is pretty neutral, with body lean kept well in

and tyre noise are appreciably low, though
there is a fair bit of wind flutter on faster and
more exposed roads.
Climb into the cabin and its obvious
that a lot of work has gone into lifting the
ambiance of the interior. Quality standards
have improved no end and results in a nicely
styled dashboard, with attractive
gloss black appliqus. All of the
major controls are logically placed,
though we would prefer it if the
touchscreen infotainment system
and climate controls were mounted a
little higher up, rather than having to
look down and away from the road.
Good size door pockets, a pair of

be handier if they folded down flat. The stripy
seats and red stitching to the steering wheel
and gear lever give a sporty feel, though the
chairs could do with being softer and offering
a little more support for the lower back. And
for larger framed drivers, it would be useful
if the seat had a little more rearward travel.
Space up front is pretty good, though, with
generous amounts of elbow and head room,
and in the back, passengers will be happy
with the amount of space, both in terms of
head and knee room. All-round visibility from
the drivers seat is pretty good, too, with the

egular Diesel Car readers will no

doubt remember the MG 6 Magnette
we ran as part our of long-term test
fleet, and will recall that it was something of
a disappointment with several irritating faults.
Following this, MG Motor invited us to try the
latest MG 6 on test for a month to see if the
car had improved.
Finished in Regal Red, this particular
model is a hatchback GT SE, as opposed
to our long-term Magnette which featured
the four-door-saloon bodystyle and rangetopping trim. Inside, its largely the same, with
cloth replacing leather. Theres still satellite
navigation and reversing sensors all round, but
the SE goes without the reversing camera, but
this omission is a minor issue. The cloth seats
are arguably more supportive and comfortable
that the leather, meaning youre seated more
firmly something that youd expect in a car
claiming to have any real sporting pretentions.
The steering wheels leather trim seems to
have improved greatly over the two years since
our Magnette was built, though the overly
sensitive steering wheel controls remain, as
does the overall sombre nature of the cabin
here is an interior dominated by blacks and
greys. Its a pity because with a little dash of
colour, the MG6 could be a whole lot more
pleasant. The fastback styling, combined

with a massive boot capacity (498 litres

attractive combination of sportiness and
practicality to suit family life.
On the road, the MG 6 proves to be
as good a steer as it ever was, albeit
the smaller wheels have the added bonus
of reduced road noise and improved ride
comfort. The 6 also seems to have benefited
from additional sound deadening, with the
car noticeably more refined at start-up and at
motorway speeds, compared to our previous
Magnette. But far and away the biggest
problem with our long termer was the cars
repeated electrical gremlins from traction
and stability control failures, through to
alternator failures, the Magnettes dash was
regularly lit up like a Christmas
tree. While there have clearly been
improvements to the 6, some
issues remain chiefly with the
gremlins that lurk within the cars
electrical system. Our test car would
occasionally refuse to start, firing
only after two or three presses of
the key MG chalked this up to a
faulty key dock and duly replaced

The stop-start system worked better than the

So once again the MG6 proves itself to be
something of a mixed bag engaging to drive,
practical, well equipped and competitively
priced. However a compelling package the 6
may be, that appeal is undone by the cars
questionable reliability. The MG6 competes in

Range Rover Evoque would age so
gracefully, still looking as fresh and
appealing today as the moment it was first
revealed as the LRX concept back in 2007.
Its a sign of a good designer, and Gerry
McGovern must be feeling quite pleased with
himself. More importantly, it means the cash
registers are continually ringing at dealers
and even now, more than three years after its
original launch, Land Rover cant build enough
of them, with a lengthy waiting list still in
place. Here we test one of the newest versions
to join the line-up, featuring a nine-speed
automatic transmission.

flexible, delivering strong mid-range pull
and decent pace away from rest. Only an
accelerator action that feels a touch too sharp
on occasions, especially when manoeuvring at
low speeds, spoils the party. The new gearbox
offers nine well-judged ratios, delivering quick
response to a downshift request, and sliding
easily up the gait for maximum economy.

some signs of potholes transmitted into the
cabin, though never so uncomfortable that you
wish for a more forgiving set-up. Wheel size
is an important factor, so make sure that you
choose your options with care, and sample
each of your choices at your local dealer.
Standard four-wheel-drive gives you all-terrain
ability, and just because this Evoque is the
baby of the range, doesnt mean that it isnt as

159g/km, the Evoque has been left behind
by newer rivals, however, this will all be fixed

Skoda octavia
vRS 2.0 TDI CR
pring is on the horizon, hooray.

Daffodils are blooming, woodpeckers
are drumming in the woods to create
nest sites, but it is still perishing cold and
wintry as I write this. The last overnight
snow-fall where we live in the south-east
is only a few days past, although it was
mercifully short lived and had melted by
tea-time. I crave some better weather to
enjoy the performance of our Octavia vRS,
but until then Im relishing some features
the car has that have been proving very
handy through the winter months. It is a
joy to go out to an icy car in the morning
knowing that it is equipped with door mirror
demisting, for a quickly cleared rearward
view. No need to fumble around wiping the
glass, leaving it inevitably smeary, when
the car does the job much more efficiently
for you. Front and rear screen demisting
is pretty efficient too. Some cars take a
while to clear the glass, but the Octavia
does it quite quickly. And then there is the
onboard ice-scraper. Yes, the Octavia, like
some other Skodas, including the new Fabia,
comes equipped with its own neat little
ice-scraper that is permanently housed in a
tailored slot just inside the fuel filler flap.
This is such a simple, low-cost, invaluable
little detail that Im amazed it isnt a regular

feature on every new car sold. Its so handy
to know that wherever you go at this time
of year, the cars own ice-scraper is carried
with you. Yes, I know they can be bought
quite cheaply, but they never seem to be
where you want them when needed except
for this one with its own permanent home.
This months motoring in the Octavia
has included a couple of longish trips, but
also lots of shorter ones. Fuel consumption
remains at least eight mpg below the
official figure. Thats disappointing, but
realistically the figure that the car returns
in everyday driving. Even so, it isnt too bad
for a car with a distinctly sporty nature to
be returning mpg comfortably above the
50-mark. It does reflect what a long way
fuel consumption has progressed in recent
times. This is a car with a 181bhp power
output, 280lb ft of torque, and a 0-62mph
acceleration time just a notch above eight
seconds. In that context, consumption in
the lower 50s to a gallon is actually pretty
fair and reasonable.
Im finding that the Octavias cavernous
590 litre boot is both a boon and a
temptation. While it is wonderful to have
all that room in the back for whatever you
might want to carry, it tends
to encourage bad habits. I was
slightly shocked the other day
to open the boot and realise
what a lot of unnecessary kit Id
left in it. Carrying unnecessary
weight around with you is not
helpful for minimising fuel
consumption, so as soon as the
weather is a bit less chilly, the
boot must undergo a rigorous
turn-out and spring-clean. Roll
on the nicer weather!

Audi A7 Sportback
Executive SE 3.0 TDI quattro Automatic
ew owners would choose an A7

Sportback as their sole means of
transport; so, with no long trips
being undertaken over the Christmas and
New Year period, the car has sat in the
driveway a few times whilst alternative
transport has been used for some very short
trips to the local shops. It's a fairly bulky car
to position safely in a busy car park, if you
want to avoid some clumsy parker giving
the fine bodywork a ding, which offers a
good reason to choose something smaller
for such trips. That said, even with the
substantial mass of its 3.0-litre V6 engine,
cold start warm-up is surprisingly swift,
and evidently the result of considerable
design effort. The new crankcase and newly
designed cylinder heads now have separate
coolant loops, and the innovative thermal
management system of the new engine also
significantly improves the fuel efficiency
by 13 per cent over its predecessor.
The recent winter weather has not been
conducive to achieving high mpg figures,
but nevertheless 25- to 30-mile round
trips have usually been covered at around
40mpg, which to my mind is fine economy
from a 3.0-litre V6 engine.
I have been using the manual override
on the S tronic transmission, using the
steering wheel paddleshifts, rather more
often recently. I'm not convinced that on

a light throttle having the engine in sixth
gear at 40mph and spinning at little over
1,000rpm (as in Audi Drive Select Efficiency
setting E) is necessarily a good thing,
particularly if the engine is still cold, so I've
been slotting it down a gear or two at times,
which doesn't seem to affect fuel economy
very much, and must make for a somewhat
quicker warm-up. This is not quite the
same effect as one might achieve in the
Sport setting, where the speeds held in
the gears are rather too much at the other
extreme. Generally there's such adequate
performance available that you just don't
need to paddle the A7 along unless you
seek maximum acceleration, and for swift
overtaking, you can always paddle select
a lower gear when still in D that will be
held for 15 seconds or so, after which the
automatic gear selection is then resumed.
My exploration of the owner's manual
has continued over the past month, and
I made my first automated check of the
engine oil level using the MMI (multimedia interface) system, which proved to
be quite satisfactory. It's actually not too
long-winded, although it needs to be done
with the engine hot, not cold, and probably
better after a nice good run, which is often
not a very convenient time if you want to
get into the house and shut
the car away. Itll probably be
one of those things that youll
remember you need to do
just as you walk through the
door, and youll promise to do
next time around. Build it into
a weekly routine, along with
checking the condition of the
tyres and the washer levels, and

ts said that the pen is mightier than

the sword. If thats the case, the
camera must be a positively lethal
weapon, as if theres one instrument
that strikes fear into those in power,
its the brandishing of a Nikon. Or in
my case, an iPhone. After last months
stream of warnings from the Volvos
tyre pressure monitoring system, and a
series of attempts to keep the nearside
rear tyre inflated, the V40s dashboard
started protesting more firmly. Instead
of demurely mentioning that the tyre
needed to be checked, the message was
upgraded to rear tyre needs air now.
Sure enough, adding air calmed down the
dashboard warnings, only very briefly,
so something was clearly amiss. I dived
into National Tyres in Guildford for a
diagnosis and a more permanent fix. It
turned out Id picked up a screw in the
centre of the tread, but if I crossed their
palms with enough silver they could fix it.
I never established what the cost would be
though, because when I said Id need to
grab a shot of the car being worked on, for

this report, I was told that it wouldnt be
possible. More than my jobs worth mate;
if my boss found out the press had been in
here with cameras, Id be in big trouble.
Having failed in my attempt to scoop a
major expos on suspect tyre practices
in Guildford, I tried the Hi Q opposite,
for repairs. This time I was welcomed
with open arms and I could take as many
pictures as I wanted. Ross fixed the
puncture very efficiently and I was relieved
of 19 for the privilege a new tyre would
have cost closer to 140!
So far all is hunky dory with the nearside
rear tyre, but a few days after it was fixed
I had to go to Milton Keynes, where I really
needed the navigation system to work, but
it abandoned me. Imagine you go to Milton
Keynes (the horror!), but youre given a
map of Brussels to find your way around.
Thats how it felt for me. The system
would be telling me to take a right at the
roundabout I was approaching when I
was on a long, straight dual-carriageway.
Or it would be telling me I
was driving across a field,
when I was actually in a
housing estate. I resorted to
using my phone to navigate
to my meeting, which could
potentially have put me on
the wrong side of the law.
While all this was going on,
the one-touch electric windows
also threw a strop; Id have to
keep my finger on the button
for them to go up or down.
But a couple of days later,
everything was working fine
once more, so Im hoping the
glitch was a one-off.

PEUGEOT 308 SW
Allure 1.6 BlueHDi
ometimes its all too easy to be cynical

about the level of technology in cars
today parking sensors, adaptive
cruise control, automatic headlights the
list is seemingly endless. And while these
extras have arguably made our driving lives
easier and our roads safer, the old argument
about it making drivers lazy persists. Well this
month, the kind of technology decried by oldschool motorists saved me from a potentially
serious accident.
The A34 is one busy bit of road running
from the M4, all the way up to the likes of
Oxford and the M40 and Bicester. Heading
home after a busy working week, I joined the
dual carriageway and headed south. It was
after four oclock in the afternoon, and I could
see the road was busy from the string of red
tail lights heading off into the distance. With
a chain of lorries ahead of me, I indicated to
pull out into the outside lane, looked over my
shoulder, saw nothing and began to move
over just at the point when the 308s blind
spot warning light came on there was a car
hiding in the outside lane. I pulled back over,
as a black Range Rover with a personal plate,
but not a single light on, blasted past me,
easily exceeding the speed limit. Speeding.
In a black car. In the dark. With no lights on.
Genius! Had it not been for the blind spot
warning system, I honestly believe he would
have hit me. Given the speed he was doing,

and with a lorry to the left of me and a steel
crash barrier to the right, the consequences
would not have been pleasant.
The last few weeks havent exactly proven
to be taxing for the Peugeot its been
carrying me to Oxfordshire and back on
a weekly basis and its proved itself to be
a more highly effective companion on the
A303 and the aforementioned A34. Its quiet
and comfortable and the two and half hour
journey passes very quickly its a car thats
ideal for this sort of stuff. The only irritation
that the 308s thrown up on these long runs
is the satellite navigation system. Although
I know my way, I like to set the navigation,
as it will give me an indication of my arrival
time and also lets me know if there are
any traffic problems along the route, which
considering its mainly the A303, is always
a distinct possibility. Annoying then that the
system doesnt always behave as it should.
Sometimes it will hop you onto adjacent
roads, or at worse suggest youre in a field
alongside it! It will then bark at you to return
to your route, even though you havent left
the road but that may just be the limitations
of the GPS signal. Other times it will simply
forget your destination.
Another minor irritation with the 308 is the
audio system it works brilliantly for DAB
digital radio and audio streaming, except
for one thing. If youre listening to music
via Bluetooth and switch the ignition
off, the car defaults back to the radio,
meaning that you have to tell the car
you want to continue your navigation,
acknowledge the systems safety warning
and then reselect Bluetooth as your
media source. It would be nice if it just
remembered that I predominantly used
the Bluetooth audio streaming system!

HONDA CIVIC TOURER

SR 1.6 i-DTEC
o matter what I do, I just cant reach

the Civic Tourers limits. And before
you worry Ive turned into Diesel
Cars less talented version of the Stig, Im
actually talking about filling the Hondas
boot. No matter how many times I head
off on work trips, take a holiday, or have a
clean out and swing by the local tip, theres
always room to spare in the gargantuan 624
litre boot. Even when the boot is nearing its
limits (very rare), you can flip up the rear
bench seat to expose even more storage
room beneath Hondas magic seats. If
even this wont satisfy your needs, folding
the rear seats completely flat liberates
1,668 litres. There is so much space, the
Civic Tourer would suit some kind of boot
sharing scheme whereby you could extend a
helping hand to city car owners. Of course,
this would effectively make the Civic a van,
which it is most definitely not. No vans Ive
driven are fitted with heated leather seats,
a precise, short-throw manual gearbox and
the ability to return 58mpg every month I
drive it. The fact it only costs 20 each year
to tax also defies belief.
I do have just a few issues with how
some of this boot space has been achieved,
however. You may or may not know that the
Civics fuel tank is found under the front
seats, helping liberate all that rear space.

But, this packaging does mean you cant sit
as low as you can in many rivals, including
the Golf Estate. Being 5ft 11, I dont quite
bang my head, but I still instinctively try
and drop the seat, before realising it wont
go any further. Taller drivers may struggle.
When fully brimmed, you can also hear the
fuel faintly sloshing beneath you, which
takes some getting used to.
After having a precautionary engine
sensor swap as part of an official recall,
the Civic has been just as reliable as ever.
Im a big fan of the 1.6-litre i-DTEC engine,
which has plenty of power to accelerate the
Tourer, even with a full load on board. Like
all smaller diesel engines, it does require
you to be in the right gear to access the
power band, but feels more flexible than
the engines weve tried from its key rivals.
Its also commendably smooth at low revs,
when some motors can start to grumble.
So, as youve hopefully gathered, the Civic
Tourer has plenty going for it, but Ive not
seen too many out in the wild. Hopefully
this is because it hasnt been on sale long,
and the styling update announced at last
years Paris motor show will hopefully boost
sales. The facelift boasts a sharper set of
headlights and a new Android-driven touchscreen infotainment system
that should strike a chord with
buyers. If not, it may simply
be the case that the estate car
continues to be a hard sell. It
seems that while having oodles
of space is useful, it may not
be all that fashionable, as
buyers flock to SUVs like the
CR-V and its rivals, as well as
crossovers, including the soonto-be-released Honda HR-V.

Citron Grand C4 Picasso

hat a difference a service can make.

Recently, the Grand C4 Picasso
has started to feel a bit tired. Slow
to start, a little sluggish and with enough
warning lights flashing to think Id forgotten
to take down my Christmas tree. Curiously,
the steering wheel had also started to make
a sound reminiscent of a distressed cat stuck
down a well. So I put a call in to Yeomans of
Exeter, who advised me that a service wasnt
due until the 1st March or 20,000 miles, both
of which the car was somewhat short of. But
as the AdBlue needed topping up and the
distressed cat was in need of rescuing, the
Citron was duly booked in.
On the morning of the service, the oil light
started flashing and as is commonplace
this time of the year I was told to fill up the
screenwash, again. The dealer maintained
a service wasnt due, so the incredibly
efficient and friendly Graham at Yeomans
was surprised to see the illuminated service
spanner and advice to service the car within
two weeks or 6,000 miles. No doubt the predelivery inspection was completed before
the date of registration, hence the early
demand for a service. Within three hours, the
service was completed, the distressed cat
had disappeared and our Citron had been
given a much-welcome wash and vacuum. At
this time of the year, you only need travel a

few miles for the car to be caked in mud, salt
and road grime. The dealer also completed
some minor recall work on the tailgate bump
stops, as some owners had reported fumes
entering the cabin through the tailgate. This
isnt something any of my passengers have
reported. Speaking of the tailgate, theres
apparently no fix for the impromptu shower
provided by the tailgate opening, although
many owners have reported the same
problem. Whatever happened to good, oldfashioned drain channels on the roof?
Im keen to discover if the service has sent
the electrical gremlins in the same direction
as the distressed cat. Weirdly, the same
previously reported satellite navigation glitch
appeared at exactly the same spot on the M25
near Heathrow, suggesting theres an issue
with the GPS. The keyless start continues to
be a bit hit and miss, while last week I was
alerted to the fact theres a potential problem
with the park assist system. Im fine with
being told these things, but flashing lights
and buzzers as I enter a roundabout arent
too helpful! In fairness, though, the Grand C4
Picasso has been a loyal servant this month,
pressed into action for numerous school
activities and long distance jaunts. Its not
difficult to see why it continues to collect
awards because, even when taking
away the nice-to-have gadgets and
accessories, its easy to drive, easy
to park and very easy to live with.
The design is also ageing well, as
highlighted by a passing comment
I overhead, in which a lady told her
husband, Theres one of those new
Picasso things. Looks lovely. We
should think about replacing our car
with one. Not bad for an MPV thats
already been on sale a year.

RENAULT CLIO
've always regarded certain mileage

readings to be personal milestones; the
first 1,000 is one for many, I'm sure, as
is the momentous 99,999, but on my Clio,
it was when the digital odometer recorded
12,000 miles. Years ago, this signified
the second service interval and the first
major one, but our Renault is good for
another 6,000 miles before it requires its
inaugural pit stop. Being an old fashioned
sort of driver, who regularly checks fluid
levels, albeit more out of habit, I decided
to give our Clio an impromptu visual
check over. Oil consumption has been
virtually nothing, although I suppose I
could squeeze half a litre in, if I really
wanted to. There is no such thing as a
universal engine oil anymore, and diesel
Clios demand a special long life lube
produced by French oil maker Elf. Not only
should you use the stated brew for peace
of mind, but also not to risk invalidating
your warranty. Apart from regular topping
up of the washer reservoir, the only other
maintenance was carried out by my local
dealer who (when rectifying a faulty R-Link
infotainment system reported on last
month) noticed a lowly coolant level.

Tyre life looks amazingly good,
considering how many miles the car has
covered over a relatively short period
of time. They rarely need any extra air
put in them, and a careful check with a
depth gauge revealed that all four have
worn down to the six millimetre mark,
suggesting a lifespan of perhaps up to
30,000 miles. Incredibly, the front pair
have not worn faster than the rear, which
is surprising given that, as the Clio is
front-wheel drive, they do nearly all the
work. Incidentally, I am calculating their
service life on a minimum tread depth of
two millimetres and not the illogical 1.6
limit that the law demands, as wet grip and
braking efficiency can become seriously
reduced by the time a tyre has worn to this
level. As my late Dad used to instil in me
when I started motoring in the mid 1970s,
if you need to measure a tyre that carefully
to see if is still legal, then it probably
needs replacing and he's right!
So, as far as I am concerned, my Clio
is in rude health and alright to carry on
until 18,000 miles when it will receive its
first service. And given
how it is running, I
don't expect any major
expenditure in that
department. In fact,
HK14 DFO is going
better than ever, and
to illustrate this, fuel
consumption has
recently improved from
58mpg to 65.3mpg
and during winter too
without me having to
alter a thing I'm doing

FORD TOURNEO CONNECT

Titanium 1.6 TDCi
ne of the consequences of having

so much space, is that you tend
to carry more and more junk in
the boot, and because its pretty vast, you
dont have to be quite so disciplined when
deciding what to haul about. A take-it-all
attitude tends to occur and then when you
need to carry a bulky item and eke out
every last centimetre, you have to spend
time unloading all of the accumulated
paraphernalia and wonder why it has built
up so much. And thats before youve taken
into account the extra cost of carrying the
additional weight when its time to fill up at
the fuel pumps.
Even with a few extra kilos in the boot,
were still a little way off the 57.6mpg that
the official figures say we should achieve,
with our calculations revealing an overall
figure of 48.2mpg to date. Thats around 83
per cent of the figure that has been achieved
by Ford engineers in optimum conditions in
the laboratory, but our monthly motoring
miles are far from completed in the most
economical way. With an overwhelming
number of short journeys, the engine
doesnt warm up fully, before it is switched
off and left on the driveway to cool down.
Its these that hit the mpg figure hardest,

and so an overall figure of 48.2mpg doesnt
actually seem too bad to us.
Our Tourneo Connect occupies an area
of the market that is far from glamorous.
Often referred to as the van-with-windows
end of the market, in the past you would
be stuck with bargain basement trim and a
distinct lack of goodies. But you cant level
that complaint at our Titanium specification
car, as it comes with all of the gadgets
and gizmos that you could ever want. Even
before we went wild with the options list, our
car comes with power folding mirrors, cruise
control, rear parking sensors, a panoramic
roof, automatic wipers and headlights and
privacy glass, as well as DAB digital radio,
dual-zone climate control and Bluetooth
mobile phone connectivity. And thats
without the kind of things that perk up the
way it looks, like attractive alloy wheels,
front fog lights and body coloured bumpers
and side mouldings. All of this is the kind
of kit that you would usually find included
in a top-of-the-range executive car, as
opposed to a more utilitarian multi-purpose
vehicle with roots firmly in the commercial
vehicle arena. Its what makes the Tourneo
particularly attractive, as
you dont actually have to
sacrifice any goodies that
youve come to enjoy, in
the pursuit of a little bit of
extra space. In fact, I think
our Titanium specification
car is a bit of a bargain,
costing just 18,195, and
working out almost 2,500
cheaper than a comparable
five-seat C-MAX, with the
same engine, and in a similar
Titanium trim.

VOLKSWAGEN SHARAN
SE 2.0 TDI DSG Automatic
his has to be juicy material for the

update, I say to myself, as that weird
noise starts off again. It sounds
like the mating call of an electronic sheep,
and its triggered by sleeping policemen,
dormant potholes and even dead leaves, if
the pile is thick enough. A mystery sound in
a Volkswagen has to be a story, especially if
youre as old as me and can remember that
Golf ad about the driver who panicked when
a squeak arose but, rest ye easy oh mighty
gods of tecknich, eventually discovered it
was just his girlfriends swivelling earring.
Could our Sharan be about to reveal VWs
Kraft is on the slide? Well schadenfreudists,
look away now. Im afraid the problem
was eventually isolated to an area under
the front passenger seat where one of the
children had lovingly jettisoned one of those
infernal plastic toys McDonalds give them
each time they visit (thus ensuring parents
have no choice but to return, ad nausea).
Said toy issues a bizarre electronic roar at
the slightest vibration. Itd provide hours of
fun hidden under a Ryanair seat.
So there we are, excitement over. Another
incredibly dull month at the Sharans wheel.
Weve clocked past 5,000 miles, but I could
hardly tell you much about them. It is, in
truth, a self-driving car, providing driving

abilities with such a level of efficiency that
you, the driver, are pretty much ballast.
The redeeming element to all that though
is that its exactly what I desire from my
daily wheels. If you come up behind a
dawdler in the Sharan, see a gap and give it
maximum encouragement, it does the job
like a civil servant: efficiently and without
drama. Granted, it doesnt exert such wallop
as to threaten to send you to a chiropractor,
or induce palpitations of pleasure. But (and
this is a tricky point to impress upon diehard drivers) the pleasure of motoring often
exists more in the centre of the driving
seat, rather than its edge. Make no mistake:
the Sharan is brilliant at box ticking. It
carries seven adults and a decent amount
of luggage without any need to park in the
Loading Only bay. It delivers refinement
that stops short of suffocation and is the
best looking MPV out there. Maybe above all
though, its economical. As the miles notch
ever upward, were seeing nearly 45mpg
from our Volkswagen now, even with those
clumpy winter tyres.
As a housekeeping footnote, Id like to
modify my remarks about the unpredictable
on-off nature of the auto-hold handbrake,
which comes as standard kit. Ive
now discovered why it was working
only when it apparently could be
bothered. You need to have your
safety belt on before ignition.
This raises an argument over
whether everyone would suit such
a protocol: its not, after all, a legal
requirement to have a belt on while
reversing and many drivers hate to
do so. But it does show how one
old-fashioned adage is still true:
read the flipping manual.

Mitsubishi ASX 4 2.2 DI-D 4WD Automatic

Its taken time for the many positive qualities of the ASX to outdo
the disappointment of it having an automatic gearbox, but the
car has finally triumphed. Peter Cracknell reports.
he ASX is one of those motors that

seemed better as time goes on.
Some cars you can get in, and within
half a mile theres a smile on your face and
youre thinking you and the four wheels are
a team. The ASX hasnt been like that, and
undoubtedly the main reason is the lack of
a gear lever, or at least one that requires
attention. However, maybe its advancing
years, or more likely increasing traffic,
but the disadvantages of an automatic
gearbox have seemed less
important as time with
the ASX has passed. The
fundamental minus of
increased fuel consumption
has been mollified by
recent long motorway
journeys on which the car
has achieved over 50mpg,
and on one occasion a
memorable 53. For a car
of this size and weight
thats pretty impressive,
and its worth mentioning,
once again, that our
model has switchable fourwheel-drive. I should also
mention that to get this
consumption figure, I did
064
limit speed to 60mph, which shows what can

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

automatic lights have worked just as they
should in terms of switching on, but most
importantly the brightness and spread of
their output is superb. Seen at its best on a
flowing B-road, the visibility is, well, brilliant,
and this is without the extra complications
of xenon headlights. However, looking in
directions other than straight ahead, thick
pillars all round (especially the rear ones) can
make parking awkward.
The lack of snow and
ice during the test period
left little chance to test the
effectiveness of the fourwheel-drive system, though
the ease of selecting it was
obvious from the start. It
seems only a few years
since tests of all-wheeldrive machines had us
scrabbling around twisting
knurled knobs on the front
wheel hubs; a job that by
its nature was often carried
out in the snow, or at least
damp, accompanied by
sub-zero temperatures. For
the ASX, a simple press of
a button by the gear lever,

and the job is done.

The fourcylinder engine
is commendably
quiet, even under
fairly hard use,
though with this
large capacity one
would expect it. For
those who like to
fiddle with steering wheel paddles, Mitsubishi
have thoughtfully provided them, though
there seems little point, as the revs will still
fluctuate wildly unless the throttle is treated
very gently. Ride quality is excellent, and
far steadier than a car as tall as this would
lead you to expect. Theres a little lean on
tight bends, but road holding is entirely
adequate for the sort of motoring the ASX is
going to do. Noise levels are good, with very
little sound from the engine and wind, and
reasonable tyre noise.
Anyone buying a crossover has almost
by definition to be needing space, style and
go-anywhere ability;
if they didnt,
theyd probably
be getting a small
hatchback. The
ASX manages those
three requirements
extremely capably.
The drivers
seat has electric
controls, and quite enough of them to get
a comfortable position. Style is of course a
subjective quality, but theres no denying the
cars presence on the road. Four-wheel-drive
ensures its able to go off into the boondocks
should you wish to, and space for passengers
and luggage is good, with only a slight
reservation about the boot volume before you
fold the rear seats: 416 litres (14.7 cubic feet)
is adequate, but only just.
Overall opinion of the ASX? The family likes
it, as do I, especially if youll give me one
with a manual transmission.

TO DETAIL
YOUR CAR
want to take your car

cleaning regime one step
further? well, on top of
your usual wash and dry,
how about removing all
the paint blemishes that
you pick up in everyday
use? martyn collins
explains.
e took one MINI Countryman

Cooper D that we bought brand
new in 2013, and despite being
washed carefully when time and weather
allows, it still displays signs of swirls in
the paintwork when we look at it in direct
sunlight. The MINI is used every day, and
a neighbours cat has managed to add a
couple of his own deep scratches to the
bonnet, too.
So what is a paint swirl? Well to sum it
up in laymans terms, its thousands of
small scratches caused by common wear
and tear. And youll want rid of them if
you want a fantastic finish for your car.
It is very easy to call in the professionals
to do the job for you, but with some
specialist knowledge, some car care
paraphernalia and plenty of time, you
can successfully remove them yourself.
Dominik from car cleaning specialist
Meguiars is on hand as our tutor.
REmOving ThE dUsT And diRT
Our Countryman wasnt clean on arrival, so after a thorough jet wash, Dominik got busy
with the suds first. Meguiars believe that sponges are the main contributor to
swirls, so he is using one of their Lambswool Wash Mitts, which traps dirt within
its pile. As another precaution, theres a grit guard in the bottom of the bucket,
so theres no need for the two bucket method of cleaning.

Wheels next
Making sure that the wheels are already cool before you start,
Dominik used Hot Rims wheel and tyre cleaner, but you could
use any non-acidic wheel cleaner. Hes applying it around 20
centimetres from the alloy wheel, and bottom upwards to stop
streaks forming.
Drying off
After another jet wash, its time to dry the car off. We are using
a waffle cloth. On top of it being more durable than a chamois
leather, the cloth can also be machine washed after use. The
full horror of the swirls and cats scratches on the Countrymans
bonnet can be seen here under Meguiars metal halide lights.
Out with the clay
Next, Dominik runs his hand across the paint work of the
Countryman to check for roughness. Theres plenty and he
suggests claying the paintwork. If youre planning on doing this,
he recommends using 50 grams of clay, or roughly half a bar and
warming it up in the palm of your hand. Another top tip when
you use the clay bar, is to make sure any panel is well covered
with the detailer that comes with most kits.
Swirl and scratch removal
Meguiars advise on three different methods of removing swirls

and scratches; the first is to apply their Ultimate Compound to a
section of the bonnet with a soft foam pad. Before even starting
work on any scratch, Dominik recommends using the finger test
to see if it can be removed. If you can catch your finger in the
scratch, it will probably need removing by machine. Were doing
a masked off section here.
Meguiars Ultimate Compound is a light cutting compound thats
easy to work. The only thing to be careful of, is that you let it haze
rather than dry when it will be difficult to remove. However, if it
does dry, Dominik recommends using detailer to get it off.
Machine polish
For deeper scratches and even better results, its time to machine
polish the area, and Meguiars offer two different systems to
achieve a swirl-free finish. The first is the Dual Action Power
System, where the circular pads are fitted to any corded drill.
Although easy to use, there are a couple of points to be aware
of so you dont damage your paintwork any further! Firstly, the
drill must be on its lowest speed and youll only need a pea-sized
amount of compound to cover any panel.
066
DieselCar
1/3/15 09:48:45
FEATURE
The technique
Then, theres the technique when working on your car panel by

panel. Dominik advises slow and steady passes up and down in an
overlapping movement to begin with. Followed by, overlapping passes
left and right. Try not to push the pad too hard, the best results are
apparently achieved when in Dominiks words you relax into it.
Finally, dont overwork a panel if it starts to haze, its time to stop.
Cut n polish
The second of Meguiars Machine Polishing systems is their own

Dual Action Polisher Version 2, which is basically a dual-action,
orbital polisher. A safer system, because its an orbital machine,
so youll never have to worry about burning the paint. This is also
the machine to go for if you have deeper paint damage to the
clear-coat lacquer.
Prime your pad
The Dual Action Polisher works with two pads, yellow for compounding
and cutting, with black for polishing and waxing. Remember to always
start and stop the Polisher against the bodywork, to avoid covering
your car in splatters of compound.
Before you start adding compound to your new pad, Dominik has
another useful bit of advice, to apply some detailer (the same thing
that you use to lubricate when claying) to prime the pad and stick
to speed four until you get a handle on it. Then, make sure that you
follow the same, up and down, side by side, overlapping passes weve
mentioned above, while using the Dual Action Power System.

Applying the wax
Once all the defects have been removed, whatever machine

polisher you use, it is important to protect the paintwork by
applying a good coat of wax. Were using the Dual Action Polisher
with the black polishing and waxing pad all over with Meguiars
Ultimate polish, although any decent quality car polish will do.
Again, youll only need a pea-sized amount to do the whole car.
The finished item
The owner of the Countryman tried to look after it very carefully

during the first year of ownership, but has been disappointed with
how much damage there is with the paintwork. After this remedial
work, theres a real depth of shine in the paint that wasnt there
previously, and by using the techniques demonstrated by Meguiars,
its hoped that it will stay this way and swirl free.

BETWEEN TWO
OLYMPIC CITIES
A road trip from Spain to the UK could take many

routes. Sue Bakers choice with a sporty Focus ST was
one right up though the middle, on the central spine of
France, to a very special waypoint near Reims.
ack in the summer of 2012, when

London was host to the Olympics,
Ford launched the Focus ST. This
246bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged hot hatch
version of the car that is Britains second
best-selling model immediately became
a firm petrolhead favourite. Back then, it
would not have found a place in the pages
of Diesel Car, but here we are two years
on, and the revised Focus ST now revs its
way into dervhead territory, available for
the first time with a 182bhp, 2.0-litre TDCi
engine. Hooray.
This merited a longer than usual test
drive, and here at Diesel Car Towers,
we always relish a crossing-countries
challenge. So this is the story of a 1,000-

miles drive from Barcelona, home of the

1992 Olympics, back to London, host to
the Games 20 years later. The chosen
route would take us over the wintry
Pyrenees, up through the spine of France
on one of its most scenic autoroutes, via
the spectacular Millau bridge, over the
Massif Central, skirting south of Paris and
up into Champagne country.
The trip started in the Olympic Park
on a hill overlooking Barcelona. There,
our Focus ST in a vivid shade of Race
Red awaited in the hotel garage. Capital
of Catalonia, Spains most north-easterly
region, Barcelona is known for its seaside
we were appreciative of the STs

huggy sports seats that grip you into
the corners
setting, its vibrant nightlife, and its famed
unfinished Sagrada Familia cathedral, the
work of celebrated architect Antoni Gaudi.
Work continues on the cathedral, 133
years after it began. Its soaring splendour
was a glorious backdrop for our first brief
stop with the Focus ST, before unleashing
the cars 182bhp and 295lb ft of torque
on some of the wonderful roads leading
up to Ripoll, then across the Pyrenees via

Puigcerda. A bit too enthusiastically, as it
happened, resulting in a brief conversation
with the Spanish police and payment of a
few Euros in roadside tax.
That was not the only expense
on this section of the route.
Overnight snow had made some
of the going treacherous, and

the ST was not on winter tyres. When

tricky surface conditions coincided with
freshly falling light snow swishing past the
wipers, we decided to play safe and stop
to buy a set of snow-chains. It was a wellspent 65 (48) at a wayside specialist
shop, until we saw them advertised for
only 50, a 12 saving, further on. Even
so, it was no dearer to buy chains in the
Pyrenees than back here, where prices
start from around 35 online and from
074
70 to 150 per set at Halfords.

It was a stunning drive over the
mountains, on roads that snake
through dramatic scenery. Out of the
snow zone, we de-chained and pointed
towards Carcassonne, for our planned
first overnight stop. This ancient city
is remarkable for an amazingly wellpreserved walled medieval hilltop fortress,
which is well worth exploring. The ST
made a sporty adornment to the parking
outside a small chateau B&B where we

stayed the night.
Next morning, the Massif Central
beckoned, so we pointed the ST towards
Beziers to reach the A75 autoroute
heading north to Clermont Ferrand. With a
days driving already under the wheels, we
were appreciative of the STs huggy sports
seats that grip you into the corners, and
its fluid blend of vivid performance and
firm-edged but reasonably cushioned ride.

It was comforting to have the STs heated steering wheel switched

on while the temperature outside once again lunged below zero.
Over the distance you are aware of the
bumps, but they are sufficiently damped
not to be too jarring. The ride-handling
set-up feels well-mixed for a cocktail of
stimulation and comfort. The A75 is a
stunning road, and the southernmost
part of it is toll-free. It weaves between
dramatic rocky cliffs, through majestic
countryside. For a trip up through France
from Spain, it is not only one of the most
convenient routes, but also wonderfully
scenic. We wanted to see the famed
Millau viaduct that carries the autoroute
across the Tarn Valley. This dramatic 2.4
kilometre cable-stayed bridge, designed by
British architect Norman Foster, could fit
the Eiffel Tower underneath. We couldnt
resist pulling in to the Aire parking area
just after the bridge, to get a wider view
of it, and did just briefly before a sudden
snowstorm obliterated the entire structure
from view. Fortunately, the French
authorities seem very efficient on the
autoroutes at least in snow clearance,
and the next section of our route north
was punctuated by frequent snowploughs
working to keep the road clear. It was
comforting to have the STs heated
steering wheel switched on while the
temperature outside once again lunged
below zero.

The next morning we routed around

village of Gueux, while winter daylight was
still strong enough for some good photos.
The circuit was triangular, and in use from
1926 until the 1970s. It was a long-time

Short odds on solving this one...

Dear Doc,
Last November, my wifes Yaris 1.4
D-4D started to emit rather more black
smoke than one would consider normal,
as a consequence we booked it into the
local Toyota dealer. The diagnosis was
that it required an EGR system clean,
at a cost of 300, plus a good run to
get the engine hot enough to help the
(DPF) regeneration. This we did, after
adding some Millers to a low tank of
fuel. We did not have the EGR valve
cleaned by the dealership though, the
charge for the diagnosis being about
58, back in November 2014. On the
9th January 2015, we received a recall
notice regarding a potential issue with
the Yaris intake system and ECU. In
the statement, they say through our
continuous assessment and quality
monitoring we have found that, due to
insufficient air flow efficiency in the
intake system, oil may accumulate in the
intercooler and, under certain driving
conditions, the oil may flow into the the
076
combustion chamber and might cause

engine damage, which may increase the
risk of fire in the engine compartment.
They state they will contact us in the
near future presumably regarding
some appropriate action. Am I right in
thinking that any excessive oil in the
intake area could contaminate the EGR
valve? Am I also right in thinking that,
in these circumstances, the EGR should
be replaced, and should I ask for a
refund of my inspection fee? Have you
or any of your colleagues heard anything
regarding this D-4D engine fault?
Thanks,
William Hill, Stockport
Hello Bill. Can I put 15 each way on
Millers Miles in the 3.00 at Lingfield Park
tomorrow?
Sorry! Very strange this intercooler
recall is not (yet) showing on the UK
VOSA register. There is something pretty
similar that I found on the web, with much
the same wording, that was published
regarding a whole range
of Toyotas with such
intercooler problems,
but it was not listed
as a UK recall. I think
that you should return
to the dealer and
report the previous
happenings. As you
point out, accumulation
of oil in the intercooler
could result in oil
being ingested and
then fouling up the
EGR. Actually the EGR cleaning job is not

lengthy, or that difficult on the Yaris D-4D,
so any decent dealer should do this as
a matter of course, when handling the
recall. You should point this out to them!
Having said that, some EGR problems with
the D-4D engine have been reported over
the years and, like all EGR problems, they
will be avoided, or minimised by a number
of actions. Regular runs of ten miles plus,
giving the engine some decent work to
blow out the cobwebs as one might, use
of better quality fuels with a generous
detergent additive package some
suspicions still linger about supermarket
fuel additive levels, and/or regular use of
something like Millers maybe a double
dose occasionally.
I found this funny little story on the
web, by the way, relating to similar
problems with a Yaris D-4D: After three
attempts at sorting this problem out,
along with servicing the car, I suggested
to the chief technician that it could be
that the EGR valve needed cleaning out.
He looked at me rather surprised (I am a
lady of a certain age who he probably
thought would not know about these
things), but took the car in again and also
promised to put on a new vacuum pump
because they sometimes go wrong. When
I picked it up, he said that the EGR valve
was totally clogged up with carbon. He
suggested that, to help stop it happening
again, I should give it a good rev up every
now and again, or take a good run down
the motorway. Please let me know how
you go on Bill. Best regards,
Doc Diesel

DOCTOR DIESEL
Old Smoker
I have a 2003 Peugeot 307 D Turbo with
the eight-valve 2.0-litre HDi 110 engine that
has covered 97,000 miles with relatively
few problems, apart from the dual-mass
flywheel failing at 48,000 miles. It has been
mainly dealer serviced from new, and I have
a good relationship with my local dealer.
However, over recent years, it has become
somewhat troublesome to start after being
parked for a few hours, more so in the last
year. It takes quite a bit of turning over to
bring the engine to life and, when it does
start, it starts with a cloud from the exhaust
and slightly rough idle for a few seconds.
Once started, the car runs fine for the
most part except every once in a while,
if I havent let it settle for a minute or two,
when I find it losing acceleration until I
pull over and increase the revs, after which
normal performance is restored until it is
parked up again for a few hours. Initially,
I thought that it could be the fuel filter
housing, as I know that they can be prone
to hairline cracks, so I replaced it with a new
Siemens housing from Peugeot. This didnt
work, so next I had the injectors removed,
tested, and overhauled at a local specialist,
but that didnt improve matters either. They
suggested that the starter motor was a bit
slow to turn over, and that this could be
preventing the fuel rail from building up
pressure. So I replaced the starter motor
and, for a while, there was a significant
improvement to the starting. Now, however,
a few months later, the problem starting
has worsened again. It has been back to
the dealer and they have checked for leaks
in the fuel system, and also the pre-heat
system, and they have found nothing, and
are reluctant to do much more as the repair
cost could be more than the car is worth. I
have parked the car facing downhill to see
if it makes any difference, but it doesnt. (Is
that based on some feng shui theory? Doc.) I
am reluctant to sell it, as I like the car, and,
in all other respects, it still goes well and
is in good condition. Would you have any
suggestions on what could be causing this
problem? Yours frustratedly,
Huw Davies
They dont make em like that any more, do
they Huw! A fine car, and I can well understand
your reluctance to sell it. Apart from which,
some purchaser or dealer will then inherit the
annoying problem!
But I can think of a few other things that you
havent tried yet:
1 Parking it uphill.
2 Beating it hard with a stick, Basil Fawlty
style.
3 Speaking to it nicely, before you turn the
key.
Seriously though, you havent told me what
sort of motoring you do, but I would hope

that you have tried giving the car a good hard
run, maybe with a fuel additive in the tank, to
see if the engine is just generally congested.
But the key thing you havent told me is
whether the cloud from the exhaust is white,
blue, or black. I would imagine that the air is
blue though, but is the smoke? Black smoke
typically means incomplete combustion, in
the form of too much fuel or too little air, or
incorrect combustion conditions like injection
timing, badly worn injectors, or poor cylinder
compression. White smoke means completely
unburned diesel fuel coming through, or can
also mean water intrusion, maybe through
a cracked cylinder head, or low cylinder
compression. Blue smoke usually comes
from burnt oil, from valve guide wear or poor
cylinder compression, and oil leakage past the
pistons and rings.
Now thats a fair selection and, if you want
to continue your DIY investigations, I think you
should check a number of items that I would
have expected the garage to have done, but
guided by my comments on the colour of the
smoke. Firstly, have you replaced the air filter
and checked for any obstructions or kinks in
the air pipes? The fact that the car apparently
runs well once hot, apart from those odd loss
of power situations when warming up, does
suggest that this is strictly a start-up problem
though, and poor cylinder compression could
be possible at your fairly high mileage. You
should probably get this checked by a garage
before anything else now, and it could be
either bore and piston wear (which you might
have noticed from oil usage) or valve leakage.
You havent mentioned the MAF sensor, which
again hopefully the garage has checked out, by
way of checking the signal voltage in cold startup conditions.
You dont say whether the starting problems
are ambient temperature related, and you
say that the garage checked the pre-heater
system anyway, meaning presumably that
the pre-heater plugs were working properly,
and for the correct period of time. You could
check yourself by turning the key to activate
the pre-heater plugs, but without starting, and
see if doing this two or three times before
turning over the starter helps at all the preheater light on the dash (if you have one) may
only stay on for about five seconds, or in fact
may not show at all at higher temperatures,
although the plugs may be operating in the
background as part of emissions controls. I
presume that your battery is in good shape
to generate enough cranking speed to get the
required injection pressure?
Of course the killer might be injection pump
wear, as pump replacement could be very
costly, and I guess this can only be checked
at a Peugeot garage or, better still, at a diesel
specialist usually well experienced in such
problems on hard-working light commercials.
I hope this gives you some ideas Huw,

and would much appreciate you keeping me
posted. Best regards,
Doc Diesel
Huw replied:
The exhaust smoke is generally white, with
a hint of grey, and if you give it a rev to help
it on its way, it does result in a patch of soot
on the ground behind the car. I tried parking
uphill and also activating the pre-heat a
few times, and it makes no difference.
The air filter is a K&N panel filter and gets
inspected every service, and if necessary
cleaned. The driving I do is mainly to work
and back, once or twice a week on the
motorway, just over 50 miles each way,
with trips to the shops each weekend. The
battery was replaced a couple of years ago,
but Ill get it checked, and thinking about it,
when I had the car remapped, the technician
did mention that it wasnt responding as
well as other 307s he had remapped and
did wonder if the mass air flow sensor
might be to blame, although the engine
management light isnt on. I will try these
two items next as the costs my dealer had
warned me about was in fact possible loss
of compression, or a fuel pump problem.
You didnt mention before the engine had
been remapped! Did you tell your garage?
This usually involves raising the fuel injection
pressure. If your tuning man said that the
engine did not respond as well as other 307s,
then he might have pushed the pressure up
more than usual to get a good result. Who
knows how this might have left you, but it
certainly might be a factor in your problems.
A proper professional job would adjust the
pressure proportionately, leaving starting
conditions unchanged, and its far from
impossible that it is set too high for good cold
starting. If you do feel, as it seems, a bit of a
DIY man, you could try cleaning the MAF unit,
with electrical contact cleaner. Theres not
enough space to go into details here, but you
can probably find instructions for an HDi 110
online somewhere. MAFs dont often throw
up warning lights or fault codes if they are
just dirty, from oil and other deposits on the
heated wire filament of mesh. See how you go
on and keep me updated.

Yorkshire Golf ee by gummed up?

I have a January 2010 Golf 1.6 TDI
Bluemotion Estate, which has done
61,000 miles. Until recently it has been
trouble free, always started first time
and always had good performance. Last
Friday it started misfiring in traffic at
low speed. Since then it has misfired in
the traffic at various speeds. Yesterday
it was warm after a 24-mile trip, but the
stop-start stopped the engine at some
traffic lights and then it just didnt
restart. I started it on the key, but it
had no power, and it only travelled a
couple of yards and stopped again. I
started on the key again, moved a yard
or so, and died. I repeated the start and
it drove away on full power and got me
home trouble free. This morning I took
it to the garage for a diagnostic test.
There was no misfiring on the way, and
the computer hasnt traced any faults.
The garage suggests it might be an
intermittent EGR fault, but they say it is
a 4.5 hour job to change the EGR valve
on this car. On Friday of next week, it
is booked in at the main dealer to have
the cam belt and water pump changed
they told me its a VW recommendation
to change the cam belt at five years.
Should I have the EGR changed then?
I read the recent correspondence
in the magazine about winter fuel
consumption. I always get poor
consumption in winter, but it is
078
particularly bad at the moment. Average

fuel consumption (full tank to full tank)
is 42.75mpg for a 120-mile round trip,
and the rest local driving. For the same
period last year, all local driving, the
consumption was 44.7mpg. The worst
consumption recorded last summer was
52.9mpg. I do recall in the late 1980s,
when I first started reading DC, that you
were a bit of a Rottweiler, but nowadays
you seem to have mellowed! Hope you
can help.
Howard Weaver, Selby
Hello Howard. Firstly, to get that out of
the way (senility means that I might just
forget to mention it later!), the cam belt
change is a correct move, plus the water
pump, and presumably also the tensioner
pulleys, which should come as part of a
cam belt replacement kit. Deterioration is
a matter of both time and running hours/
miles. You should first ask for a quote
for the job though main dealers have a
habit of overpricing (its their hourly labour
rates, which are breathtakingly high!), and
you might pay only half as much at a good
VW Group specialist that knows what it is
doing. Its up to you, but you might save
as much as 200. Roger Holmes, 01904
414443, is such a specialist and highly
rated by customers.
Now, to your problem. These 1.6 TDI
engines do suffer from EGR problems.
But often cleaning them, rather than total

replacement, will sort things out. Main
dealers dont like doing such things,
as they dont make much profit, and
technicians are not trained to do it! Why
dont you ring up Roger Holmes and have
a chat with them about the cam belt job,
and their charges, and also about your
engine problems? Please do let me know
how you get on.
You should be getting better fuel
consumption, and that is probably down
to the EGR, or just possibly the MAF unit.
When you have the car properly hot some
time over the next few days, give the
engine a rev up to around 3,000rpm just
as you turn the ignition off. This initiates
a MAF cleaning cycle that heats the wire
filament to red/white hot and burns off
any oil deposits that may be degrading the
MAFs operation. Suck it and see nothing
lost, but you only want to do this once
every few months, otherwise the wire gets
too much heat too often. Let me know
how you go on.
Ruff Ruff!! Once a Rottweiler, now a
cuddly Labrador! With advancing age
comes maturity and peace, but I can still
get stirred up at times! All the best,
Doc Diesel

DOCTOR DIESEL
p box
a
so
Diesel cars have been getting a bad
reputation recently, but what you
read in the national press is inevitably
sensationalised and only a selective
part of the big picture. EC limits for two
key air pollutants are undeniably being
exceeded regularly in certain locations
of London, as in other British cities
and many similar highly urban areas
throughout Europe.
The pollutants in question are PM10
particulates, and oxides of nitrogen
(nitrogen dioxide in particular) which
have both been associated with raised
mortality rates, mostly from respiratory
diseases. The press and air pollution
experts are pointing the finger at diesel
cars, and some of the mud is sticking; for
example, Ive recently had a letter from a
reader who says that many of his friends
are scoffing at his enthusiasm for his
Mazda CX-5 and talking about shunning
dirty diesels as a result of what they
read. So lets get a few basics clearly
established. Airborne PM10 particulates
come from a good number of sources,
50 per cent from industrial sources,
power generation, and other non-vehicle
sources. Of the 50 per cent transport
derived PM10, only half comes from
vehicle exhaust, with the rest derived
from brake dust, tyre dust, and other
non-combustion sources. And of the 25
per cent of all PM10s originating from
vehicle exhaust, only around fifty per cent
of that is generated by diesel cars! The
other fifty per cent comes from buses,
HGVs, light goods vehicles, and taxis.
If legislation were to ban all diesel cars
London Air Pollution
from the streets of London tomorrow, the

likely reduction in PM10 levels would be
of the order of at best 12 to 15 per cent.
Regarding oxides of nitrogen, EC
regulations, demanding massive
investment by manufacturers, have
reduced the allowable limit for NOx
exhaust emissions of new cars by 84
per cent over the last 15 years quite
an achievement. The problem is that the
EC test cycles understate emissions of
oxides of nitrogen, just as they overstate
fuel economy, and these emissions are
not falling as fast as was predicted; but
banning diesel cars would be a knee-jerk
reaction, and is just not the answer. Too
many other concerns cloud the issue;
HGVs still enter cities in significant
numbers, often on multi-drop stop-start
journeys that mean their emissions
control systems are often not hot enough
to work efficiently. Search the web and
youll find dozens of companies offering
to remove HGV SCR (selective catalyst
reduction) emissions control systems,
mostly to avoid the cost of the AdBlue
urea-based additive that neutralises the
oxides of nitrogen. So how many dirty,
and illegal trucks, are boosting the
pollution figures?
Vast amounts of city emissions are
produced by vehicles that are not even
moving, and better stop-start technology
and improved emissions systems could
vastly reduce this particularly on taxis
and buses. If Londons air is so bad, how
come that London mortality rates are
falling steadily every year compared with
the rest of Britain? How come mortality
rates in Westminster and Camden, two

of Londons dirtiest boroughs, are
somewhat lower than those for Barnet
and Bromley, two of the cleanest
boroughs?
Now is not the time for a blanket ban
on diesel cars in London, and any other
cities. It just wont achieve the desired
result, and it isnt fair to their owners.
Neither are the raised parking charge
bills that some diesel-owning London
residents are now receiving from their
local councils. Get your thinking caps on,
you experts, and do something positive,
rather than negative! How about Park
and Drive, where you could park up any
conventional car in the suburbs and rent
a pollution-free EV for the trip into the
city centre? How about focussing the
current 5,000 electric vehicle buying
subsidy exclusively on the big cities,
which is where they really deliver their
benefits? Tell us what you think!

The blind leading the blind

Dear Ian
I have been following quite closely the
recent demonisation of diesel power, and
I think my wife thinks that I am turning
into a mad person, as I very often end up
shouting at the television or talking aloud,
when reading some of the drivel that Im
reading in the national press. Do any of
these people actually have a clue what they
are talking about? I think not! I have tried
writing to the publications concerned, but
surprise, surprise, my letters pointing out
their mistakes and omissions never seem to
be published.
I think anyone with half a brain will realise
that there is a problem with older diesel
cars, trucks and buses and these are the
vehicles that we need to encourage off the
roads. But the way it is being portrayed by
the press is that all diesel vehicles should be
banned from the roads. As youll no doubt
be aware, all Euro 5 emissions compliant
vehicles have to come fitted with a diesel
particulate filter, and it is that which traps
the harmful stuff. The Euro 6 regulations
are even tougher, and the deadline for
080
compliance is this coming September.

The Government must take some blame
for some of the air quality problems, as it
took officials a long time to clamp down
on those people that were removing the
factory-fitted diesel particulate filters (DPF).
The requirement to check to make sure that
a DPF is present as part of the MOT was
only introduced a year ago, and up until that
point, owners had free rein to do as they
please. Even now, the inspection is simply a
visual one, and MOT testers have to use their
discretion and guess work when evaluating
whether the DPF is still present. Unscrupulous
companies have been known to install dummy
units and the current MOT requirements are
never going to be able to put an end to this
polluting practice.
There needs to be an education process
that reinforces the message that not all
diesels are bad. Can you not start a campaign
to highlight all of the mis-information and set
the record straight.
Yours sincerely
Chris Wilkin
By E-mail
Thanks for your interesting letter Chris.

I think youve raised a number of
interesting and valid points here, and
by the time you read this letter in the
magazine, youll no doubt have heard
about a campaign led by the Society of
Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT),
and supported by a large number of key
figures in the motor industry. It aims
to tackle the subject of mis-information
and serves to highlight the benefits that
diesel power continues to offer, despite
attempts by ill-informed commentators
to derail the diesel industry. A press
conference on 11th March, led by the
SMMT, launches a nationwide consumer
campaign challenging the demonising of
diesel. We will of course be watching with
baited breath, bringing more information
as and when it is announced.
On the subject of diesel particulate
filter removal, it is something that we
have long campaigned against, with
Doctor Diesel in particular pointing out
the wrongs of doing so. But until the
law changed to include a check in the
annual MOT test to make sure that the
particulate filter was still present, it was
something of a grey area, and owners
were prepared to run the gauntlet. Youve
highlighted one of the biggest flaws
of the MOT test today, in that testers
arent able to go poking around under
covers and heat shields to make sure
that a diesel particulate filter is still in
working order, and instead theres just
the requirement for a visual check. Maybe
in the future the requirements will be
toughened up, but speaking personally,
Im not going to hold my breath.
Keep up the good work in trying to
educate people of how wrong they are
about modern diesel power, and please
keep in touch.

Available around the clock, Road Traffic Representation is an online legal system that allows
people accused of a motoring offence to get free advice on how the law will be applied in their

Former practising solicitor Martin Langan spent two years designing the system and creating the
data repository which allows the software to analyse road traffic offences and advise.

ReQUiReMenTS OF The PROSeCUTiOn
ast month, we looked at technical

defences to speeding charges and
we will follow with a series that
analyse specific speed detection device
types, but first let us look this month
at the technical requirements that the
prosecution have to observe when
using technological aids in evidence,
regardless of the specific device.
If the prosecution wishes to rely
on evidence of a prescribed device,
they have to provide the motorist with
a documentary record produced by
the device, accompanied by a signed
certificate as to the circumstances in
which that record was produced. This
requirement applies to traffic light
signal offences, speeding offences
(including motorway speeding), speed
restrictions related to road works,
temporary minimum speed limits and

some bus lane offences, but the list can
be extended, or reduced, in the future.
Such a record is allowed in evidence
in court only if the device is of an
approved type (a prescribed device)
and a copy of the record must be
served on the motorist not less than
seven days before the trial. If the
motorist wants to question the person
who signed the document in court, he
must give notice to the prosecution
of this wish not less than three days
before the hearing.
What is a prescribed device? It is a
device listed in a government order.
There are a great many prescribed
devices, but they include bus lane
detection devices, radar speed
measuring devices, speed measuring

Dear Diesel Car
I can only wholeheartedly agree with Bill
Warner in last months DM@il Blinking
Indicators where he complains about the
standard of driving.
I, too, have noticed a lack of use of
indicators on our roads of late, and almost
came a cropper last week, when a driver
failed to use any signals when manoeuvring.
Poor maintenance was a contributing factor,
as the car didnt have any working brake
lights, and so there wasnt any obvious
warning that the car had slowed down to
navigate the junction.
Like Bill, when I took my driving test, in
the 1970s, it was drummed
into me that I needed to
make other drivers aware of
what I was up to, and it was
imperative to glance in all
of the mirrors regularly, so
that you are aware of what
is going on around you.
Im sure that some people
think that the mirrors are
just there for decoration,
and rarely use them.
Another important check
that seems to be lacking these days, is

making sure that all of your lights work
properly. Judging by the number of cars I
see with only one working headlight, or a
single brake light operating, motorists just
dont seem to bother to check their cars are
working properly these days. And it isnt
exactly hard, is it? A quick wander around
the car every few days will give you a good
opportunity to see if anything is a miss.
Even the most lazy amongst us can manage
that, surely?

devices using sensors or cables near
the surface of the road and by light
beams, and average speed recording
devices. Accordingly, if a charge of
speeding is to be defended, and the
alleged speed has been recorded by a
device, then it is important to check
that the device used is on the approved
list. If it is not on the list, then the
evidence produced by the device
cannot be used in court. A Police Pilot
Provida in-car speed detection device is
not a prescribed device, so the fact that
many police cars have it installed does
not mean that the evidence from it can
be produced as evidence in court.
In the next issue, we will start
looking at some commonly used
devices, starting with radar speed
meters.

THE EXTRA MILE
The Extra
E
Mile
veryone who keeps a keen eye

on their fuel economy will have
their own way of checking their
figures. Long term, the most accurate
way is to log all fuel purchases and the
mileage covered, and then calculate mpg
by dividing the miles youve driven by
the number of gallons you filled up with,
maybe over a full period of ownership, or
over periods within that longer term. Any
inaccuracies in topping up the tank will
gradually shrink and you can easily draw
a line through the ups and downs of your
graph that will identify any trends.
But many drivers will be happy
using the cars on-board-computer or
driver information system to keep any
eye on fuel economy; thats fine for
that particular car, if not for making
comparisons with other cars, as these
systems are typically only plus or minus
five per cent accurate. Thats no real
handicap in monitoring variations in your
day-to-day fuel economy, and usually you
can draw on figures for any particular
journey as it progresses, and sometimes
for each tankful, or you can reset one
of the displays each time you refuel, if
your car has two trip gauges. Many offer
an instantaneous mpg figure that runs
in sympathy with your accelerator pedal
and the gears selected, but a display that
088
resets after the car has been stopped for

over two hours is probably most useful,
particularly for observing how cold starts
affect fuel economy.
Theres no doubt that what you do in
the first two or three minutes after startup can either give you a good start for a
fairly economical journey, or alternatively
make it an expensive trip to see Uncle
Jim living 30 miles away, with much the
same applying for the return trip, if youve
stopped for more than a couple of hours
and the engine is cold again when you
depart. Test it and see for yourself, if you
dont believe us! If you start your car up
and zero the trip mpg display before your
wife and the kids are safely on board and
all strapped in, and if you linger at the
roadside while your wife closes the gate,
or goes back into the house to check that
the iron is unplugged, or the alarm is set,
half a mile down the road a nasty figure
of something like 8.2 or 11.3mpg will be
showing! Factor in a junction or two, a
couple of sets of red traffic lights, and two
busy roundabouts before you clear town
and head into the country, and youll be
lucky by then to have covered two miles at
something like 16mpg. Not a good start! If
you then drive carefully and cover the next
18 miles at 48mpg, those first two miles
will have dragged your overall economy
over the first 20 miles down to just 40mpg

and another ten miles to Uncle Jims will
only drag it up to 42mpg! Those incredibly
thirsty two miles use as much fuel as
taking you six miles during the rest of the
journey, and this is by no means the worst
case scenario.
Imagine you stopped after a mile or
two at a supermarket to buy a bottle of
something for Uncle Jims birthday, found
the parking absolutely chocker with cars,
took a full two minutes to find a space,
and left the car ticking over while the wife
and kids pop into the shop. That probably
knocks the overall trip average over 30
miles down to around 35mpg or less.
So, bearing in mind that youve probably
covered an extra mile and a half each way
diverting to the supermarket, and sat in
a queue to get out, youll probably use
a gallon of fuel for the 33 miles, when it
could have been 2/3rds of a gallon for
30 miles at 45mpg. All for lack of some
thought and planning, starting your engine
before you needed, and not making a
swift getaway. This is not just a shocking
hypothetical tale, its real life motoring, as
practised by many people who moan about
fuel prices, but just dont think about how
they waste it, and its mostly avoidable, if
you put your mind to it!

2007 Saab 9-5 Linear Sport Anniversary 1.9 TiD Estate
ome people might jib at buying a

two-year-old car with 115,000 miles
already on the clock, especially via
eBay, and at the other end of the country.
But Robin Kerry is bolder than most. His Saab
9-5 is a rare Anniversary model, brought out
in 2005 to celebrate 60 years of the now
defunct Swedish car maker.
I loved the special edition car when it first
came out, with its stunning ice blue colour,
and I was lucky to pay just 6,500 for it
at two years old, says
Robin, who lives in Yeovil,
Somerset. I didnt mind
the mileage, I think its an
old fashioned view to worry
about a modern car having
more than 100,000 miles
on the clock. It was up in
Sheffield, being sold by a
main dealer. It was a six-hour journey to go and

get it, and I bought a one-way ticket, because I
knew Id definitely be coming home with it.
As soon as he got the Saab home, he took
it to be serviced in Plymouth, including having
a new water pump fitted. Eight years on, and
with another 78,000 miles added to the tally,
very little has gone wrong. Last year it had a
failed exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve
that had to be replaced, and it also needed a
new alternator. Everything else is pretty much
original, including the shock
absorbers. The car has just
sailed through another MoT.
Robin has invested 500
in a Tunap treatment to
clean the diesel particulate
filter system, which he says
was expensive, but worth
it. Action was necessary
because an engine light came on, but

having the work done cleaned the system
amazingly, he says, and emissions readings
are now way down, from over 85 per cent to
around 30.
During its first two years, the Saab was
a reps company car, driven constantly on
motorways, and very regularly serviced.
Robin still keeps it pretty busy, and has
taken the car on trips to France, Belgium and
Sweden with the Saab Owners Club. He also
uses it to tow a caravan on family holidays.
The last was to Brittany, we were five up,
with two dogs and all our luggage, including
a roof box. It may be high mileage, but
its still smooth, comfortable to be in, and
in good condition. The cars a she, says
Robin, and he calls her Kyla Blue, from the
Swedish for cool.

CHANGE
We take a closer look
at how diesel power
cars have muscled into
Motorsport.
n an arena where top speed is usually

paramount, the higher weight and
lower specific power output of diesel
engines has meant that they have been
largely overlooked. But there have been
some notable exceptions where dieselpowered sports cars have achieved real
success in the motorsport field.
Events where acceleration and higher
fuel economy play a bigger part have
proved especially lucrative. And this was
first realised way back in 1931 when a
Cummins Diesel Special race car driven
by Dave Evans became the first sports
car to compete in the Indianapolis 500
without the need for a pit stop. He came
thirteenth, and the trick was repeated
again in 1934. On our side of the Atlantic,
a Bentley packing a Gardner 4LW diesel
powerplant and piloted by Lord Howard
de Clifford finished fifth in the 1933
Monte Carlo Rally, whilst a Delettrez
brothers 4.4-litre diesel took part in the
1949 Le Mans 24-hour race. Don Cummins
continued his success in the Indianapolis
500 after the war, with his 6.6-litre
turbocharged car winning pole in 1952
and looking good in fifth place until the
turbocharger failed on lap 71.
090
As turbo-diesel technology advanced

more rapidly in the 1990s, both
Volkswagen and BMW started to race
diesel touring cars, with a BMW 320d
eventually winning the Nrburgring
24-hour race in 1998. This success was
repeated with a BMW 120d in 2006, whilst
Audi went better winning Le Mans with
their R10 TDI. Compared to their previous
petrol-powered R8 Le Mans winner,
the R10 TDIs 650bhp V12 boasted an
epic 810lb ft of torque, plus a specially
strengthened five-speed gearbox. Audis
diesel R10 won at Le Mans again in 2007
and 2008, whilst Peugeots rival 908 HDi
Le Mans car finally triumphed in 2009.
Diesels now started to dominate in

touring car racing too, with SEAT entering
their Leon TDI into the World Touring Car
Championship for the first time in 2007
and the British Touring Car Championship
in 2008. The Leon TDI won both the
manufacturers and drivers championships
in 2008 and 2009.
Audi decided to switch to V10 diesel
power for their 2009-on R15 Le Mans race
car, and subsequent developments have
seen their latest Le Mans racing stable
include not only a super-efficient 3.7-litre
V6 TDI engined R18 diesel car, but also
a hybrid R18 e-tron quattro racer - with
a flywheel accumulator system designed

Future
developments
The future for diesel and alternativefuel vehicles in motorsport looks
bright, but there are still many
technical and political challenges to
be faced. Expect to see some of the
following developments over the next
few years
The 2017 World Rally Car technical
regulations have yet to be defined, but
Citron has previously built and tested
a hybrid version of its world rally car.
Toyotas European competition
department Toyota Motorsport GmbH
has already built a Yaris-based hybrid
rally test car in preparation for a
possible 2017 WRC entry.
Expect to see more diesel cars entering
the Dakar Rally over the next few
years, with Mitsubishi and Toyota all
considering potential vehicles. Peugeot
entered a 2008 diesel in the 2015
rally, as did MINI with the Countryman.
Porsche are planning to enter a 919
Hybrid in this coming years Le Mans
24-hour race.
A diesel race series running in parallel
to F1 and Formula E is currently under
consideration by the FIA.

Boschmotor generator units driving the
front wheels.
Rally Focus
By the time youre reading this, the 2015
Monte Carlo rally will have taken place the
first of thirteen rounds in this years World
Rally Championship. And although the
current contenders in the most prestigious
constructors WRC category (the Volkswagen
Polo R, Citron DS 3, Ford Fiesta RS and
Hyundai i20) are all petrol-powered, diesel
rally cars are allowed to enter the R3D class
of the supporting WRC3 Championship.
Petrol-powered rivals in WRC3 can drive
either 2000cc normally-aspirated cars, or
1.6-litre turbocharged cars. Designed for
proper production vehicles (rather than oneoff rally specials) with two-wheel drive, there
is a minimum homologation requirement
of 2,500 vehicles a year with diesel cars
limited to 2000cc with forced Induction.
Previous entrants include the Fiat Abarth
Grande Punto R3D, which produced 175bhp
at 4,500rpm, but a whopping 260lb ft of
torque at just 1,500rpm. Between now
and the final round of this years WRC
the Wales Rally GB which takes place in
November we will be looking out for diesel
privateers in the R3D class. As yet we are
not aware of any confirmed entries, but
were keeping our fingers crossed.

You will of course come across many
diesel rally cars taking part in smaller
road, track, airfield and endurance rallies
throughout the UK in 2015. There are
literally hundreds of approved events taking
place so whether you just fancy watching
or perhaps even taking part, check out
www.msauk.org and www.itsmymotorsport.
co.uk for more details.
VW Golf shows
the way
A few years ago, however, there was a
manufacturer-backed diesel rally car which
had substantial success in the British Rally
Championship the Volkswagen Golf TDI.
Driven by Neil Simpson and co-driven by
Steve Martin, the Mk3 Volkswagen Golf 1.9
TDI rally car was run by SBG Sport in the
1998 Mintex Rally Championship. The SBG
Sport team also ran petrol Golfs, but their
diesel TDI car proved quicker out of many
slower corners, thanks to its high torque
at low revs.
Based on the standard 1.9-litre TDI
production unit, the rally Golf produced
190bhp at 4,100rpm, with 2.5 bar of
boost, and 258lb ft of torque at 3,550
rpm but crucially 220lb ft from just
2,000rpm. Key modifications included
a strengthened bodyshell, a welded
tubular roll-cage, a bigger Garrett turbo,

a modified injection pump to permit
increased fuel flow and enlarged holes
in the five-hole injector nozzles, as
well as a bespoke exhaust system and
a front viscous limited slip differential.
In addition, the cam and valves were
blueprinted, a lighter flywheel was added,
and uprated engine mountings fitted,
along with a six-speed Gemini sequential
gearbox (with full-throttle clutchless
up-shifts) and a remapped Bosch engine
control unit. A set of tasty 18-inch OZ
alloys finished things off.
Lots of testing was carried out on the
suspension system for both gravel and
asphalt, with numerous different spring
and damper settings employed during
what proved to be a highly successful
season. The Golf TDI went on to finish 5th
overall in the Manx Rally, as well as 17th
in the Bournemouth Winter Rally, 23rd in
the Kerridge National Rally and 13th in the
Bulldog Rally.
As a result of this early success,
Volkswagen has since forged ahead with
diesel power in many other forms of
motorsport, including touring car racing,
van racing and most recently the 2010
Dakar Rally which Carlos Sainz won driving
a specially-modified VW Touareg TDI.

Our used car experts have been
scouring the country to find exceptional
prices on nearly new and preregistered cars, whether that be at main
dealers, car supermarkets or used car
specialists. Canny buyers know that a
car depreciates heavily as soon as it
is driven off of the dealers forecourt,
and so buying a car that is nearly new
makes a whole lot of sense. After all,
nosy neighbours will only be interested
in the plate on the front, and so
providing it is the latest registration,
they wont know that youve been a

THIS
FSO
CARO
Y
ou may well shudder looking at

the picture of the FSO Caro below,
but back in 1995, when it was
first launched in diesel guise, it was for
many the only way they could afford to
buy a brand new car. It had the accolade
of being the cheapest diesel engined car
on the UK market, and while it was a very
slow seller here in the UK, in its country
of origin, Poland, it sold like hot cakes.
The underpinnings date back to the mid1960s, when FSO standing for Fabryka
Samochodw Osobowych shook hands
on a deal to build Fiat 125s under licence,
and what emerged was the visually similar
FSO 125P. After building that car for more
than ten years, FSO realised that it needed
a five-door hatchback to compete more
effectively with Western car companies.
The end result was the Polonez hatchback,
launched in 1978, and latterly became the
Caro when the car was facelifted in the 90s.
The diesel edition, powered by the 65bhp
1.9-litre PSA Peugeot-Citron XUD engine,
arrived here in 1995 and sold modestly.
One of the reasons for the slow sales is
that the rear seats didnt fold, which had a
major impact on its versatility. Today, just
four examples survive, with a further seven
declared as SORN at the DVLA and off-theroad in an unknown condition.

he story of the Yeti begins in 2005,

several years before the production
car reached the showrooms. And
excluding some show car boldness and
frippery, the Yeti that reached showrooms
in 2009 was largely the same as the
concept car four years earlier. The boxy,
upright stance and the distinctive nose
treatment with prominent fog lights, all
made it to production, although toned
down a little compared to the show car.
The space efficient layout of the car means
that the amount of room on offer is pretty
sensational considering its relatively
compact footprint.
The production car was unveiled to
much acclaim at the Geneva motor show in
2009, before arriving in UK showrooms the
following September. Offered with a choice
of two- or four-wheel-drive models, and a
variety of trim levels, diesel editions were
all initially powered by 2.0-litre TDI engines
in a selection of different power outputs,
and kicked off at a reasonable 15k. A year
later, the frugal GreenLine II editions joined
the line-up, powered by a 104bhp 1.6-litre
TDI engine, and producing CO2 emissions
at the rate of 119g/km. Paired solely to

ride height, stop-start and energy recovery
technology, as well as low rolling resistant
tyres are the main changes compared to
other Yetis, as well as a GreenLine II badge
on the rear tailgate.
In August 2013, a mildly facelifted edition
of the Yeti was announced by Skoda, and
for the first time, the car was split into two
distinctive model lines. Outdoor editions
feature more rugged styling, including black
lower bumpers, whereas the regular editions
of the Yeti now come completely colour

when new, Outdoor versions command a

higher price when sold second hand. Prices
were announced in November 2013, with the
first examples of the refreshed Yeti arriving
in Skoda dealers in January 2014.
From its launch, all GreenLine II Yetis
come decently kitted out, with all models
coming with 16-inch alloy wheels,
electric and heated mirrors, roof rails, air

Owning
Since its arrival onto the market, the Yeti

crossover has won scores of awards,
including most reliable new car by Which?
and high level ranking in the annual JD
Power customer satisfaction surveys. Skoda
dealers have a great reputation for delivering
high levels of care, too. Speak to any Yeti
owner and they will eulogise about the car,
thanks to its spacious, flexible interior and
decent road manners. The individual rear
seats can move forward and back, fold
down and can even be removed to maximise
the cargo carrying capacity. And with a
maximum of 1,760 litres on offer, this is
getting into small van territory.
The 104bhp 1.6-litre TDI engine delivers
reasonable performance away from
prices
the lights, and is a pretty flexible, wellmannered powerplant, all aided by a smooth
operating five-speed manual gearbox. The
steering is communicative, delivering great
precision, and theres a sizeable amount of
grip when cornering, while body control is
excellent, too, with lean kept well in check.
Ride comfort is a little on the jittery side,
especially on scruffy surfaces, while both
wind and road noise are higher than is ideal.
All of the interior fittings feel nice, with
high quality soft-touch mouldings that are
well screwed together. Theres a feeling of
solidity wherever you touch, which will mean
that the Yeti should stand up well to family
life. Thanks to exceptionally deep windows,
the view out is top-notch, making the Yeti
easy to manoeuvre around town, especially
as all models except the cheapest S editions

come with rear parking sensors fitted.
Theres plenty of available adjustment to
both the steering wheel and seats, and head
and elbow room up front is excellent. In the
rear, legroom is also generous, resulting in a
car that works well for families.
Running costs
Both CO2 emissions and fuel economy

figures stayed static throughout all of the
model years of the Yeti GreenLine II, with all
versions achieving 119g/km and 61.4mpg
on the combined cycle. This translates into
30 per annum for the vehicle excise duty
and in mixed motoring, owners should
achieve fuel economy figures in the real
world in the early to mid-50s mpg, with

Here we highlight the kind of results that can

the Skoda Yeti, across a range of well respected

competitive fixed price servicing options for
cars that are more than three years old, so
its worth checking out how this compares
to other non-franchised garages in the area.
Youll get Skoda trained technicians working
on your car, and the benefit of the latest
software updates being applied to your
vehicle. Play one garage off against another
towing. Be aware that any increase in power

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

and see the price for maintenance tumble. If

you buy a car with some warranty left, you
must make sure that you service it to the
companys stringent standards if you want
to be able to claim if something goes wrong.
Make sure you keep all receipts and ensure
that the garage uses only approved parts for
the service and any repairs.
Doctor Diesel says
Youll struggle to find many unhappy Yeti

owners. The well-proven engine in the
GreenLine ll is pretty reliable and, aside
from its relative lack of refinement, and
gruff soundtrack, theres little to fault.
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems and
particulate filters (DPF) can give problems
though, with short-run cars; so the one
elderly lady car is not necessarily a good
bargain, and may even have never been
run in properly. 2012 and later in-warranty
cars bought from Skoda or other VW Group
dealers will obviously offer good protection
against such problems.
GreenLine lls only come with a tyre repair
kit, neither a space-saver nor full size spare
wheel being factory options. If you want
to go out in the wilds of Mongolia, or even
Andorra, with a Yeti, youll need to purchase
an extra wheel and tyre, plus a false boot
floor, for around 250 from Skoda dealers,
which will naturally reduce boot space.
Some internal fittings are not quite up
to Volkswagen standards and hard plastics
can get scratched with hard use, so have a
good look around the cabin for any damage.
Check external paintwork for scuffs and
scrapes, and particularly around the lower
edges of the rear doors, which can suffer
from abrasion by road grit that has been
thrown up. Check out the air-conditioning
for full function, as repairs can be costly and
any failure, in Mongolia, could be critical!
Cam belt replacement is not required on
a mileage basis until 110,000 miles, but
is required every four years. So check that
early cars have had this work done, along
with water pump and tensioner pulley
replacement; if not, factor the cost of the job
into your negotiations (300 plus) or, better
still, demand the job is done before you buy
any 2011 or earlier car.
For those who value ample pulling power
for heavier loads, a 2.0-litre TDI variant will
probably be a better buy, and cost little
more than this eco-focused 1.6-litre TDI unit,
as the GreenLine lls seem to carry something
of a price premium, though expect fuel
economy to be 15 to 20 per cent worse.

part and parcel of
motoring life
Got a problem with your car? Open wallet surgery at your local main dealer isnt your
only option, as Alan Anderson explains the options.
t's a hard fact of life that despite

enormous advances and improvements
in durability and reliability, running a
used car costs more than a brand new one,
simply because as the years and miles mount
up, things wear out. But you save a fortune if
you know how and where to buy replacement
parts. Essentially there are three avenues to
explore: main dealer, original equipment, and
pattern, the latter duo coming from what's
known as the aftermarket.
Now, while we call them 'vehicle
manufacturers', in truth they are actually
'vehicle assemblers', because car makers
don't actually produce individual components
themselves. Instead, they outsource contracts
to a huge array of different suppliers to
make a certain part to an exact design and
specification. The rewards for these suppliers
many who are well-known names such as
Bosch, ZF, Valeo, Girling etc is that they are
allowed to box and brand them as an original
equipment (known as OE) quality part for their
own ranges to sell in high street stores and
motor factors. Naturally, if you take your car
to a main dealer, in the vast majority of cases
a carmaker-branded part will be used, and in
almost all cases will be identical to the part in
the suppliers branded box.
This doesn't imply that 'pattern' parts are
sub-standard substitutes. In most cases they
are a match for quality and performance
and sold via high street motorist's shops,
such as A1 Motor Stores, and can prove
significantly cheaper. Some 30 years ago, the
vehicle manufacturers fought the aftermarket
companies over the right to sell alternative
parts, which the big guns regarded as

copyright. A common sense agreement was
reached, where non-original component
suppliers had the right to produce a part
under a 'must match, must fit' clause. In other
words, a Ford Mondeo wing has to look like a
Ford Mondeo wing, and fit like one.
Overall quality has improved immensely
over the years and those that don't make the
grade are soon spotted and weeded out by
mechanics. Pattern parts are the preserve of
smaller workshops and garages and one of
the main reasons why their repair bills can
work out significantly cheaper. That said, main
dealers still offer garages special service and
repair deals, so dont always write backstreet
garages off, and shop around. Ask to see the
invoice from the supplier, or the packaging
that it was supplied in that will give you a
good idea whether the garage is charging
you full whack for an OEM part, when theyve
substituted it with a cheaper, pattern part.

When it comes to larger replacements, such
as engines, transmissions, electrical systems,
and diesel ancillaries (such as injectors and
pumps), there's a choice of either brand new,
remanufactured, reconditioned or rebuilt.
The first is self-explanatory it's the other
trio that you need to beware of, as their
terminology isn't just a case of semantics,
as you most definitely get what you pay for.
Remanufactured is the closet you'll get to
brand new, and some car makers even have
their own programmes of 'service exchange'
items. Reconditioned is usually a rung lower,
although still okay; it depends on how long
you intend to keep running the car. The one to
beware of is rebuilt, because it can mean just
that, with minimal overhauling taking place
apart from a lick of paint. If your car needs a
new engine, a good sign to look out for, is a
company who is a member of the Federation
of Engine Remanufacturers. It's not the
cheapest route, but you'll gain a quality unit
and peace of mind if it prematurely fails.
Finally there are breakers yards. Don't
sneer, because for those on a tight budget or
with an old car, they are the only means of
keeping mobile. Health and Safety laws means
that the days of clambering up a stack of cars
to get to the one you want has long gone, and
the majority of parts are available either off
the shelf or removed for you. A fair number of
salvage outfits even guarantee certain parts,
but we wouldn't advise chancing old, used,
safety critical components found in brake,
steering and suspension systems, no matter
how cheap they appear.

New compact SUV Lexus explores the

previews Mitsubishis
next PLUG-IN HYBRID
future at Geneva
ere we have a sneak peek at Lexus new concept

car, unveiled at the Geneva motor show. The hi-tech
LF-SA show car is designed to appeal to customers
interested in the latest technology and the virtual world, as
well as remaining luxurious and driver focused.
itsubishi took the wraps off a compact SUV concept car at

the Geneva motor show, giving the strongest hint yet at
the look of the replacement for its ASX crossover. Named
Concept XR-PHEV II, the front-wheel-drive vehicle combines a petrol
engine with a 161bhp (120kW) electric motor, and is expected to
emit CO2 emissions of less than 40g/km, which puts it amongst the
lowest emitting plug-in hybrid vehicles today. The system can switch
automatically between all-electric, series or parallel hybrid modes,
and has a function called battery save that allows the driver to
reserve all-electric power for a portion of the journey, for example
if the last part of the trip is in the city centre, where zero emissions
mobility is desirable. The Concept XR-PHEV II shares its wheelbase
with the existing ASX and the Outlander, but at 4.49 metres long is
roughly midway between the two in terms of length.
Facelifted
Picanto
at Geneva
A
fresh new look, technology enhancements, improved braking

efficiency and tweaks to the 1.0-litre petrol engine are the
main changes for the latest edition of the Kia Picanto city car.
At the front, theres revisions to the tiger-nose grille, as well new
bumpers front and rear. A new design for the 14-inch alloy wheels
102
is on offer, and for the first time theres the option of a sport pack,
delivering extra visual drama. On the inside, theres new chrome
detailing for the air vents and instrument cluster, and a fresh design
for the fascia surrounding the audio system. From the summer, a
new seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system will be available,
and cruise control and a speed limiter is offered for the first time.
Three colourful packs are on offer to brighten up the cabin,
with the red pack featuring black faux-leather and red cloth seats,
together with gloss red and black door inserts, while the yellow
pack features black faux-leather and cloth seats with yellow
stitching, together with bright yellow steering wheel and dashboard
trim. Finally, the brown pack includes brown faux-leather
upholstery, brown door trim and piano black appliqus
for the dashboard.
Under the bonnet, tweaks to the 1.0-litre engine
have been made so that it complies with the latest
Euro 6 emissions regulations. Larger brakes mean
reduced stopping distances, with 252 millimetre front
brakes (up from 241) fitted to some models in the
line-up. The revised range of Picanto models are set to
arrive in UK showrooms shortly.

ECO CAR 1ST UK TEST
heres no mistaking a smart car. Ever

since the first example hit the roads
back in 2008, the distinctive city car
has charmed motorists with its compact size,
perfect for running around urban areas, and
pint-sized running costs. Here we welcome
the third-generation iteration of the small
car, this time developed in association with
Renault, where it shares a large number of
parts with the four-seat Twingo, including
mechanicals and three-cylinder engines. You
can read all about the four-door smart forfour
elsewhere, and here we test the smallest of
the pairing, in two-passenger fortwo guise.
With only a couple of people to haul
around, the 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol
engine does a perkier job of getting about,
and while performance is still limited when
going up steep hills and on gradients on
the motorway, the drop off in speed is less
noticeable than its larger four-seat sister
car. The gearbox is smooth in its operation,
and thanks to five well-chosen ratios,
around town, the fortwo is geared sensibly
to be able to nip in and out of traffic quite
effectively. The fantastically tight turning
circle is better than that of a London taxi,
and so manoeuvrability and ease of parking
is top-notch. Accurate, agile steering makes
it easy to dart about, and taut body control

means the fortwo handles pretty neatly.

Because theres such a short wheelbase,
ride comfort is on the firm side, with
potholes, ridges and undulations
transmitted straight into the cabin. At
motorway speeds its a little bit better,
but you still feel as though youre being
continually jostled about. Because the
engine is located just behind you, theres a
reasonable amount of noise transmitted into
the cabin when youve got your foot down,
but tickle and tease the throttle sensitively
around town, and youll find the sound
merging into the background more. The fuelsaving stop-start system operates efficiently,
helping this edition of the fortwo to achieve
68.9mpg on the combined cycle, while
emitting just 93g/km of CO2.
Here we have a car measuring less than 2.7
metres long, but its surprisingly
roomy. Even generously sized
occupants will find that theres
more than enough space inside,
with sufficient adjustment to
both the seats and steering
wheel, though its disappointing
that the latter only adjusts for
rake and not reach. Even with a
sunroof installed, theres plenty
of headroom, and climbing in and
out is a piece of cake. Forward

youll wish the rear wiper swept more of the

The dashboard itself is nicely styled, with a
prominent infotainment screen that is handily

looks modern and funky, and should appeal
nicely to younger buyers. All of the controls

f theres a nagging feeling in the back

of your mind that you might have seen
a four-door smart before, then youd be
right. The smart company teamed up with
Mitsubishi in the past to produce a forfour
in combination with the Colt, but it was ill
fated and the car was prematurely killed off.
Undeterred, smart has now teamed up with
Renault to produce a car that is capable of
carrying more than a pair of passengers,
and the result is a car that shares a lot of its
componentry with the Twingo city car. And
its a funky looking design, with all of the
styling elements that made the two-seat smart
fortwo so popular, all wrapped up in a bigger
package that can carry four. The cost of this
extra carrying capacity is a very reasonable
247.50 per additional person.
Its not often that you can describe a
small car as being similar to a Porsche 911,
but this forfour boasts a similar layout,
with rear-wheel-drive, as well as an engine
mounted in the back. Our test car came
fitted with a 70bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder
unit which endows the little forfour with
decent performance around town on the flat,
but show it an incline or a series of hills,
and youll be reaching for the gearstick to
waggle through the gears. It runs out of

turbocharged unit instead. This engine
emits a characterful thrum and this
remains as a backing track at all speeds.
Theres a vague hint of tyre noise, but
its the sound from the wind that is
most noticeable at motorway speeds.
Around town, the suspension crashes
into potholes and poor surfaces, sending
vibrations through the cabin, and yet it is
utterly calm at cruising speed, delivering a
comfortable ride. Thanks to its small size, the
tight turning circle is a joy, making it a great
companion in the city, and thanks to minimal
body lean, it feels quite adept through
corners, while grip levels seem pretty good,
even in the slippery weather we experienced.
Despite its diminutive size, theres a decent
amount of space up front, with adequate

SINCLAIR
REVISITED
Believe it or not, it is 30 years since
the Sinclair C5 was first unveiled. Sue
Baker casts her mind back to her first
acquaintance with the little three-wheeler.
n a chilly grey morning in early 1985, in the grounds

of Alexander Palace in North London, I had my first
experience of an electric car. It was the launch of the
Sinclair C5, hailed as a brave new world of motoring. The little
white three-wheeled, plastic-bodied single-seater, designed by the
celebrated inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, was an intriguing addition to
the motoring scene at a launch price of 399. It was supposed to
be the first of a new range of electric vehicles.
I remember some cynical reactions from the assembled
motoring press. The tiny open-topped car was too small, too
low and too vulnerable. It would never catch on, and we rapidly
agreed. But we were keen to experience it, and so I quickly
found myself seated in the 2 foot 7 inches tall C5, grasping
the handlebars under my knees, for one of the first test drives.
John Humphrys was doing a report for BBC TV, and asked to
interview me about my driving impressions. So I was tasked to
drive downhill in the palace ground, into a tiny roundabout, and
stop just past it for the on-camera chat. The C5, with a top speed
of 15mph, hurtled into the bend, tipped onto two wheels, and
lurched to a stop. I dont really have to ask you what that was
like, Sue, because we could all see, said John.
Fast forward 30 years, and here I am again, inserted into the
slim cockpit of a C5 for another drive. This very well-preserved
example is kindly on loan from owner Alex Goodwill, who lives
in Maidstone, Kent. My immediate reaction is that the C5 has
aged very well visually. The design still looks clean, modern and
almost futuristic, in a retro kind of way. It is sparse, with minimal
creature comforts. I am grateful for a dry sunny day, and no rain.

There is no roof, no doors, no seatbelt, so you just climb in
and settle on the hard plastic seat (a cushion and tailored rainwear were accessories), grasp the motorcycle-style handlebars
protruding either side of your bent knees, squeeze the left-hand
starter/throttle control, and youre off. Well, on the level or
downhill, anyway. Encounter an uphill gradient, and you have to
use the little C5s bicycle-style pedals to haul you up the slope.
This was in a quiet Kentish back street, where the Sinclair was
fun to experience in a novelty kind of way. It feels dwarfed by any
other traffic, is very chilly on a winters day, and feels constantly
vulnerable. It still has great novelty value, though. An elderly lady
passing trudging home with her shopping quipped at me: I dont
know what it is, but I want one!
So whatever happened to the C5, manufactured in an old
washing machine factory, and proudly mooted back at that 1985
launch for annual production of around 100,000 units? It was
a big flop and very short lived. Within three months of launch,
production plans were slashed to 10,000 a year. Within seven
months, it was all over. Only around 14,000 were made, and
Sinclair Vehicles went bust. Bold, brave
and ultimately ill-judged, the C5 was ahead
of its time, and now just an interesting
memory from the 1980s.

INCREASED
CHARGES
PA R T 4 : ON TH E CH A RG E
n previous issues, weve looked at

the various types of electric and partelectric (hybrid) cars. Whilst its true
that between them these cars in the UK
account for only around two per cent
of the market, recent growth has been
spectacular, and the main advance has
been in the plug-in hybrid sector. In fact,
such has been the acceleration in sales
of electrics, hybrids and plug-ins that
the Society of Motor Manufacturers and
Traders (SMMT) has styled 2014 as the
year of the alternatively fuelled vehicle.
Whether you drive a pure electric car or a
plug-in hybrid, you are probably going to spend
a fair amount of time looking for and using the
network of recharging stations across the UK. Some
owners who limit their car to just short journeys (possibly
its the households second car) might charge only at home, but
for those who travel greater distances, remote charging is a must.
There are many free chargers to be found dotted around
town centres and at motorway services. Ecotricity, for example,
has a network of fast chargers, which will suit the majority of
popular models like the Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, and Mitsubishi
108
Outlander PHEV. Output is a hefty 50kW, so you can get an 80

per cent charge in 30 minutes or less, and for those motors
with extensive range, such as the Nissan Leaf, that will be plenty
enough for an hours driving up the motorway and on to the next
charge point. Their electric highway map details the location
of the fast chargers that youll want to be using, and best of
all, these chargers are free
once youre registered. Just
how long theyll remain so is
of course open to question,
but Ecotricity say weve no
plans to start charging for our
charge points right now.
The largest provider of
charging infrastructure is
Chargemaster, who recently
announced that electric
vehicles in the UK have been
charged a total of one million
times using their nationwide
network of charging points,
providing drivers with a total
of around 9.5 million kWh of
electricity since the first one
opened in September 2012.
So theres a sizeable and
rapidly growing number of
charging points in the UK. But
what we really want, of course,
is an overview of the whole
infrastructure, so a route can
be plotted between them. The
EcoCar
108-109_334_eco_feat_plug_in_hybrid_FINAL.indd 108

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

Charge Point Registry, which is part of data.gov.uk. Youll find the
list here: www.data.gov.uk/dataset/national-charge-point-registry.
There are alternative websites, with varying results, but from
user comments, its clear that the information is not universally
accurate or up to date. One of the best, however, is www.zapmap.com, which maps details of all recharging locations in the UK
there are more than 3,000 of them giving the type and number
of charge points available. The power output of these chargers
runs from 3 to 120kW, so you can work out how long a charge
should take. The site also provides full details of everything you
might need to know, including the various connectors, and lots of

information on the range of electric vehicles now available.
Most users, however, will charge at home, certainly some of
the time. You can use the household ring main, but due to the
high power requirement and long charge times, its not advised.
Dedicated 3kW home chargers are still freely available to electric
car owners, and for around 100, the power of that charger can
be more than doubled to 7kW. A few companies offer high power
22kW chargers, though its worth remembering that even with the
3kW slow chargers, most vehicles can be fully charged overnight,
when of course the electricity is cheaper for those with special offpeak tarrifs. You can get a full list of these charge point suppliers
(with contact names and numbers), and all of them accredited
by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles, at: www.zap-map.com/
engine/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/evhs-installers.pdf
This information should give you a valuable insight into deciding
whether an electric or plug-in electric vehicle is for you. One
of the most important factors to consider before buying is the
range of journeys that youll need the car for, and is even more
important than the actual purchase price of the vehicle. If you
need a car that has a range of around 100 miles, so that every
journey can be made without filling up with fossil fuel, then
a pure-electric car may be the answer. If, however, you need
to travel further, or have the need for a vehicle that has the
capability of covering infrequent longer distance journeys, then a
plug-in hybrid vehicle could be the one for you.

THE BIG
T E S T
INDEX
E
ver thought about which car makers produce a great

range of cars, and the ones that need to try harder?
Wonder no more, as we look back at every car that
weve tested since Diesel Car was reborn in April 2010.
Our tests have always delivered a definitive verdict and star
rating out of five, and here we have compiled all of these
results to deliver this handy at-a-glance test index. Expressed
as a percentage, the average rating even includes all of the
star ratings from tests in this issue, and currently sits at
73.52 per cent. Any car maker above that level is doing well,
producing cars that are better than average, while those that
fall below have some work to do to catch up.
Each month as we test more and more cars, these results
will alter and evolve, with car makers rising and falling, and
reflecting the ever changing standards within the car industry.

DATAFILESKEY
VED BANDS EFFECTIVE FROM 1ST APRIL 2014
The need to display a tax disc may have been
abolished, but you still need to pay an annual
fee to the Government. Called Vehicle Excise
Duty, or VED for short, this handy table will tell
you how much you need to pay. The rates for
cars registered after March 2001 will depend on
the CO2 emissions of the vehicle, with the same
amount due for both petrol and diesel power,
though hybrid vehicles receive a 10 discount
each year. All vehicles that manage to emit
100g/km or less cost nothing to tax, whereas a
diesel or petrol powered car emitting 169g/km
of CO2 will cost 290 in the first year, and 205
for each subsequent year, compared to a hybrid
vehicle that will cost 280 and 195 per annum,
respectively.

DSG, PowerShift and S tronic are all names
given by car makers to describe their twinclutch automatic transmissions, in the same
way that Dualogic, EGC, EGS and ETG are terms
for automated manual transmissions.
Airdream, Blue Drive, BlueHDi, BlueEfficiency,
BlueMotion Technology (BMT), ecoFLEX,
Ecomotive, ECOnetic, EfficientDynamics,
GreenLine, GreenTech and Ultra are all subbrands conjured up by the car makers to
describe their most eco-friendliest technology.
These models will typically offer better fuel
economy and lower CO2 emissions than other
models in the line-up.

COMPANY CAR TAX BENEFIT-IN-KIND (BIK)

RATES 2014/2015
If your employer provides you with a company
car, it is treated as a perk in the eyes of Her
Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
and you will be taxed accordingly. This is
called Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) taxation, and
the amount you pay is dependent upon the
P11D cost of the car, which is equal to the list
price of the vehicle, including any optional
extras you choose, minus the vehicle excise
duty and first registration fee. You are then
liable to pay a percentage of the P11D cost to
HMRC, dependent upon the CO2 emissions
that the vehicle emits. This table will tell you
the percentage rate that youll need to pay.
Currently, diesel vehicles are penalised with a
three per cent surcharge, however, that is due
to end from the 2016/2017 tax year, providing
the car meets the Euro 6 emissions regulations.
Interestingly, diesel hybrids dont receive the
penalty, with company car tax rates in line
with petrol cars, making them a good bet for
minimising tax bills.

ISSUE TESTED
The issue number is inserted if the model has
been driven by the Diesel Car test team.
LIST PRICE
This is the total cost of the vehicle, including
VAT, delivery charges and the first year vehicle
excise duty, if applicable. Any Government
subsidies, like the plug-in car grant, have
already been deducted within our tables.
TRADE-IN VALUE
The value is based upon the car being traded
into a car dealer after three years and 36,000
miles and the condition of the car is excellent.
COMBINED MPG
This is the official fuel economy figure released
by the car manufacturer. This figure is achieved
in optimum conditions and therefore it is rare
that an owner will be able to actually attain this
figure. If the vehicle is electric, the figure in
brackets is the maximum range in miles quoted
by the manufacturer, again under optimum
conditions.

It makes a huge statement, both in stature and image. Theres loads of space and its impressively refined.
ESP is shortened from electronic stability programme, and is often also

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

Best 3 yet, the new model is leaner, cleaner and greener, as well as more spacious. Common, but still classy.

Lots of space for the cash and looks that are bang up to date. A Shame that the 1.4 CRDi engine is so gruff.

Nicely kitted out, spacious with great versatility. Pricier now that base diesels have been deleted, but still a good buy.

One of the best mid-sized cars about, with serious all-round appeal. Shame its saddled with a silly name.

Hybrid power brings down running costs a little. Filled to the brim with gadgets, but isnt exactly cheap.

Still slipstreaming BMW 5 Series for dynamic ability, but the GS is slicker and more refined than before.
Earns its Sport name much more this time around. Based on the full-fat Range Rover, but with a sportier twist.

Rewinds the clock to 1979. Classic 4x4 with a mild makeover, including a new cabin. Shouts money, and fab off-road.

Downsized engines bring extra frugality to the M-Class. Its great to drive too, and not badly priced.

Revised with extra body jewellery and more economy. Kicked off the four-door coup trend.
The Ford Fiesta isnt the UKs best-selling new car for nothing, and theres an
enormous amount of choice, with five trim levels and the same number of
engines boasting sub-100g/km CO 2 emissions. We would opt for the Zetec S, as
its well decked out, with a great looking sporty looking body kit that emulates
the flagship ST, 16-inch alloy wheels, heated front windscreen, sports seats
and air conditioning, as well as front fog lights and sports suspension. White
paintwork is quite fashionable right now, so we would opt for it in Frozen
White which will cost an additional 250, almost half the price of metallic
paint. It looks pretty stunning in Race Red, too, and that doesnt cost any extra.
We would choose a space saver spare wheel at 100, opt for heated seats at
175 perfect for the winter months and select the city pack which gets
you rear parking sensors, power folding door mirrors and a start button. The
first two pieces of equipment should shield you from urban damage. And for
the sake of a paltry 150, we would choose the pack that includes automatic
headlights and wipers, and an automatically dimming rear view mirror. The
diesel edition manages a claimed 78.5mpg on the combined cycle, but costs
an additional 500 compared to the 123bhp 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine, but we
believe it is worth forking out the extra cash for the diesel, as itll be worth
more than the petrol model when you come to sell it later.

Zingy drive, skateboard ride and everyone pointing... Beware though, some are laughing at the oddball roof.

A cynic might say its just a three-door Countryman, and err, it is... trapped up a niche cul-de-sac.

Good value, frugal and well equipped, but lets itself down by feeling cheap and is below par to drive.

A new direction for the X-Trail fulfilling the seven-seat market, and just as great to drive as the Qashqai.
Plusher and better equipped than its predecessor. Frugal engines deliver decent performance too.

Nissan aims to attack the Golf and Focus and dominate the sector, like it has done in the crossover world.

Looks the part, drives well and swallows four relatively happily. Price is its Achilles heel though.

Greater personalisation and bigger boot is combined with its modern love it or hate it in-yer-face styling.

Hi-tech Brit-built alternative to the supermini herd. More efficient than before, but just as spacious.

Not as accomplished as its predecessors, falling short in several key areas. Its frugal though, but not exactly cheap.

Now British built, better value and available in a choice of trims. Better to drive than before, but still limited by range.
Scoffed at as a MINI too far due to its size, but critics need to drive this family-pack option - its still a hoot to drive.

Part of the up! and Citigo trio, its great value, good to drive, and cheap to run. What more could you want?
TEST
Our MPV of the year for both 2011 and 2012 is rewarding to drive, civilised and roomy. Beats a Sharan for price.

Take normal MPV formula and stir in Spanish spice. Decent results but add XL to mix if you need space.

All-electric supermini priced in line with a diesel, and set to revolutionise the electric market for the masses.

Its no oil painting, but it is an absolute bargain to buy. Its boat-like to drive, and majors on interior spaciousness.

It does a cool trick with its doors, its got more space and its ok to drive. Price has risen steeply, though.
Looks dont stir the senses and neither does the driving experience. Keenly priced and great warranty though.

It may look a lot like an Adam that has mated with the outgoing car, however under the skin its been significantly upgraded.

X marks the spot. A bit of design flair injected into what is the pinnacle of supermini reliability.

More staying power than an angry zombie. Its rough and tough, and now with more frugal engines.
Just one word describes the Model S and thats sensational. Its got real on-road presence and is affordable to run.

Go conquer the world, if you can afford to. Its tough as old boots, with a nice cabin, but is crude to drive.

Bolder and more distinctive than before. Its roomy and indestructable, though top models are pretty expensive.

DISHING THE DIRT ON CLEANING

Mopping up the remnants of our cleaning and
valeting issue, Simon Hacker delves into the
darker and muddier side of on-road cleanliness
and warns of dirty tricks.
Still, cleanliness has to
be next to Godliness, right? On

the shiny surface, perhaps, but
in the world of fiction, the opposite
seems to be true. Scruffy, dirty rides
are piloted by heroes and decent
sorts (think Columbo and his battered
Peugeot 403, Dr Emmet Brown and
his dust-clad DeLorean time machine,
or even the eponymous Big Lebowski
and his shabby Ford Gran Torino).
Meanwhile, an immaculate interior
merely serves as a contrast to the
sinister nature of the driver. Director
John Hughes perhaps best illustrated
this principle in the enduring classic
Uncle Buck. Buck, of course, played
by the brilliant John Candy, drives
a clapped-out Mercury Marquis
Brougham. His car is almost leprous,
but as we all
know, Buck proves
to be a true
guardian for his
cringing niece.
All of which drags
us inexorably to the
question of which brands
attract those who like to keep their
machinery pristine? Well, a study of
purchasing and on-road behavioural
habits among male American drivers
identified Volvo owners as the
most likely to keep their wheels
tip-top. Evolutionary psychologist
Geoffrey Miller asserted that while
the preening of your car is a strategic
display of personality, intelligence
and creativity, it may not always,
surprise, surprise, be truthful. Volvo
drivers, says Miller, are interested
in sending a message out that they
are responsible and cautious, while
the model they drive will probably be
sparkling clean, as regular washes
demonstrate reliability and
attention to detail.
Hughes message
suggests there may be

more important issues to
life than keeping your car squeaky clean.
Correspondingly, if youre on the side
of the spectrum that goes from edgy
through to mild psychosis and right up
to serial killer, its more likely that you
will turn up for a job/date/hit with wheels
that look concourse-standard. Successful
killers keep their cars immaculate to
avoid suspicion and, as Harvey Keitels
Mr Wolf points out, it tends to help when
avoiding detection. Its also good for
putting your victim at ease you want to
reassure those around you that you are
competent, in
charge and ipso
facto trustworthy.
As SpongeBob
Squarepants
famously put
it, cleanliness
is next to
managerliness.

heres something filthy in the

business of cars and cleanliness.
Surely anyone who spends
hours meticulously removing any sign
of use from their car may well have
issues that lie deeper than the polished
reflection of their handiwork?
A quick survey
commissioned by Diesel
Car (very quick, come
to think), however, suggests these
drivers may be good guys after all.
The percentage of potential killers
we were able to identify behind the
wheels of Volvos in the UK is not
noticeably higher than those found
driving their key rival brands. And
judging by the way they drive,
the natural choice for everyday
psychopaths is, after anything
white and lacking in side windows,
in fact an Audi. Allegedly.
Valeting is not a tidy
issue though. A decade or

so ago, a new and deeply
deviant social trend emerged to
literally muddy the waters: false dirt.
Maybe this was no surprise: we have
seen a huge emergence of popularity
for 4x4s, while behind them came
mock 4x4s (dubbed faux by fauxs)
which represented an ironically honest
acknowledgement that these cars are
not always used as God intended. So
why not the ultimate styling product
for the same urbanites who are too
busy/scared/grown-up to waste time
on green lanes. Spray-on mud was the
brainwave of Shropshire businessman
Colin Dowse who retailed the idea at
a gobsmacking 7.95 a pop. If they
want an authentic look, there's not a
lot else they can do. There's not a lot
of mud in Chelsea," he said. The mock
mud became famous worldwide.
But if youre on the
waiting list for a 4x2 SUV,

we have bad news: the
venture is no more. Fear not though,
a home recipe for dirt, however,
exists, courtesy of the creatives
behind the new trend for drawing
on dirty cars to create artwork. First,
coat your car in a very thin layer of
oil (a rag helps). Then take a handful
of flour (or dust if your vacuum isnt
bagless) and sprinkle onto the jet
stream of a properly aimed hairdryer,
so achieving an even coat. Presto!
Instant lifestyle statement.
