Hyundai i20

THE i20 SEEMS to be the unsung hero of Hyundai’s hatchback line-up. While the original i10 was the face of the scrappage scheme a few years ago, and the i30 marked the brand’s first major step towards taking on the might of the VW Group, the i20 has so far passed by relatively unnoticed despite strong sales since 2008 – until now that is.

This class has been dominatedfor years by the Ford Fiesta, andthe latest i20 now has to gotoe-to-toe with not just the Ford,but the new Mazda 2 (see page26), new Skoda Fabia, revitalisedVauxhall Corsa and VW Polo.

There will be four enginesfrom launch: two petrols and twodiesels. Most are familiar fromthe rest of the Hyundai range.Entry-level cars make do witha 1.2-litre petrol with 74bhp, butonce you’re up to SE trim youcan pick any motor you like –with a mix of five- and six-speedmanuals, and the option of afour-speed auto on the 1.4 petrol.

Quieter, bigger than before

On paper, the i20 seemspromising. The 1.4 petrol wedrove has to make do withouta turbocharger – unlike all of itsmajor class rivals – but 99bhpin a car that weighs just overa tonne should offer enoughperformance to easily nip in andout of town traffic.

Start it up, and you can barelytell the engine is running attickover – testament to the workHyundai’s engineers have donewith the sound-deadening, andall part of the new i20’s grown-upappeal. The longer, lower bodyis a lot wider than before, and infact it looks and feels more likea car from the class above thana dinky supermini.

This big step up in size hasa major impact on the inside,and the i20 leads the class for

Glass sunroof opens and slides electrically, and

Rear-seat space is very generous, although the

panoramic glass roof impinges on headroom

Variable-height boot floor is standard on SE

trim, allowing you to divide the load bay

cabin space, with room for threeadults across the back row ofseats, a big boot (326 litres on Smodels or 301 litres on SEversions with a spacesaver) andlots of knee- and shoulder-roomfor everyone on board. The bootis also clever, with a split-levelfloor that sits flush with theseatbacks when they’re folded,for a flat load bay.

However, the i20’s increase insize does make it feel a bit morecumbersome when you’re tryingto thread it between tightlyparked cars or down narrowlanes, and if you live anywherehilly you’ll need to rev theengines hard to make progress.

The diesels are both betterin this regard, with (in the caseof the 1.4-litre engine) close to

‘Start upthe 1.4 petroland you canbarely tellthe engineis running’


double the in-gear torque ofthe petrol models. As a result,both feel a lot punchier onthe motorway, and are morecomfortable overtaking,although the 1.1-litre dieselis a three-cylinder, and makesquite a racket both at idle andwhen you’re accelerating.

The standard six-speedgearbox has a slicker actionthan before, with a lighterthrow that makes it easier todrive, but it’s still quite easy toselect third instead of first, andthen be left grasping for the rightgear as the lights change and therevs die away.

Improved handling

Turn in to a series of corners, andthere’s more grip than before,and the i20 resists body roll well.The steering – while rather slowand missing the precision of say,a Fiesta – has lost much of thevagueness around the straight-ahead that made the previous carfeel so imprecise on B-roads.

It’s still not a driver’s car,though. The Fiesta strikes thebest balance between ride andhandling in this class, and thei20’s ride is probably its weakestarea; speed bumps and longerundulations are well absorbed,but any sharp ridges orexpansion joints expose ashortage of suspension travel,{

sending a big, unwelcome thump up into the cabin.

There will be five trim levels to choose from, but basic S models do look very much like a budget option, with steel wheels, a plastic steering wheel, manual rear windows and no air-conditioning. Most i20s will be sold in SE trim, which includes a lot of standard kit such as all-round electric windows, rear parking sensors, 16-inch alloys, voice-activated Bluetooth, and cruise control, and even active safety gadgets such as lane departure warning – all for £1035 less than a Polo SE.

The i20 is certainly bigger inside than the Polo, but the cabin materials are not up to the same high standard, with fewer soft-touch plastics and some oddly coloured panels and rough surfaces spoiling what is otherwise a pleasant cabin.

A dock, but no touch-screen

It also does without a touch-screen infotainment system, instead offering a smart phone dock, which is mounted to the dashboard and can be used as a sat-nav, and a simple dot-matrix radio display instead. Some buyers will bemoan the lack of a screen because this kit is offered as standard in rivals such as the Vauxhall Corsa and Skoda Fabia, but Hyundai will offer

Boot space has grown to an impressive 326 litres – almost as big as the Skoda Fabia’s – but it’s worth nothing that SE models come with a spacesaver spare wheel, which cuts capacity to

301 litres. The load bay is a nice square shape, though, and SE versions come with a false boot floor as standard, which sits flush with the rear seats when folded.

Lots of kit for a decent price

If you’re looking for a practical, well-made supermini with generous kit and a big boot, then the new i20 deserves a place on your shortlist. Yet despite its improved dynamics, it’s still not

quite as fun or comfortable as the very best cars in this class.

In the face of so much turbocharged competition, it’s perhaps no surprise that the i20 feels a bit underpowered out of town, but the fact it’s also not especially efficient (a CO2 figure of 127g/km means the 1.4 will cost you £110 in VED alone) does count against it too.

The new Vauxhall Corsa with a 1.4-litre turbo is a few hundred

pounds cheaper, nearly as roomy inside, and feels much faster in everyday driving. Hopefully the new 1.0-litre T-GDI engine (see panel) will arrive sooner rather than later, and give the Hyundai a fighting chance in this toughest of classes. The 1.4 diesel is a better all-rounder, and probably worth a four-star verdict.

The plastic wheelarches make the CX-3 look bigger than it really is The engine line-up comprises two 2.0-litre petrols and a 1.5 diesel

from the larger CX-5, such as the black plastic wheelarch surrounds. Mazda’s designers say those features are intended to make the wheels look larger.

Inside, there’s a slim, coloured strip across the centre of the fascia, but that aside, it’s mostly swathes of grey plastic. The monotony is at least broken up by the central 7.0-inch screen, which is mounted high up on the dashboard. It’s can be operated as a touch-screen when you’re at a standstill, but is controlled via a dial between the front seats when you’re on the move. The set-up can offer sat-nav and

IT SEEMS LIKE every car manufacturer out there is developing a rival for the Nissan Juke. The market for baby SUVs is booming as buyers fall for the combination of compact dimensions, a raised seating position and slightly chunkier looks. Now it’s Mazda’s

turn to launch a Juke rival. It’s called the CX-3 and due in the showrooms an admirably short six months after the Fiesta-rivalling 2 on which it is based.

It’s smaller than you think

The CX-3 sits on the same chassis as the 2, but it’s longer and

slightly taller, so you sit around 4cm higher in it. As is the case with most baby SUVs, though, actual cabin space is roughly the same as in the supermini.

The styling mixes elements from the 2 – including the large front grille and complex surface creases along the side – with cues

Few details have been released on the CX-3’s technical specification, but Mazda has confirmed that it will get a slightly different line-up of engines than the 2. The CX-3 will not get the 2’s 1.5-litre petrol unit; instead it will be offered with a 2.0 petrol in two states of tune and a 1.5-litre diesel. The petrols should have 118bhp or 163bhp, while the diesel will be the same 104bhp motor you get in the 2.

All engines will get a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but a six-speed automatic will be available as an option. The CX-3 gets Mazda’s Skyactiv lightweight construction, so the most efficient model – the diesel manual, most likely – should emit less than 100g/km of CO2.

It’s a proper off-roader, too

In an unusual move for a small SUV, the CX-3 will be offered with a choice of front- or four-wheel drive. The latter is available with all engine and gearbox combinations apart from the diesel automatic. Mazda sources expect four-wheel-drive editions to account for a small percentage of UK sales, however.

By sharing components with the 2, Mazda has been able to give the CX-3 that car’s latest safety equipment. That means a head-up display will be offered on higher-spec cars, along with blind spot monitoring, city emergency braking and a lane departure warning system.

The CX-3 is due on sale around April. We’d expect a premium of at least £2000 over the 2, with prices of front-wheel-drive manual CX-3s starting at around £15,000.

SIZE REALLY DOES matter.Especially when it comes to citycars. That’s why despite a totalredesign, and a new chassis, thenew Smart Fortwo is the samelength as its predecessor.

That should make it one of theeasiest cars to manoeuvre thisside of rivals such as the ToyotaiQ, and therefore perfect foranyone who regularly findsthemselves fighting for parkingspaces in congested towns.

There are two three-cylinderpetrol engines from launch; a0.9-litre turbocharged engine and a 1.0-litre that doesn’t have a turbo.

Great for city driving

The Smart is perfectly suited to navigating the confines of any city. A class-leading turning circle of just 6.95 metres means the new Fortwo can perform U-turns in the narrowest of gaps.

It does feels like a bigger car than its predecessor though. The

extra 10cm of width in the cabinhas had a real impact on theamount of space available, andthe wider stance brings majorhandling benefits.

Compared with the old car,this Smart feels a lot more stablein corners, albeit not quite upwith the best in class. If you dipa wheel into a pothole a shudderis sent through the cabin.

certainly needs to be worked harder, and while it’s fine for town use it feels underpowered at motorway speeds. Still, it’s easier to drive at low speed and usefully cheaper than the turbo.

The five-speed gearbox is also a little notchy and tricky to operate smoothly. We had a brief go in the optional (£995) dual-clutch auto version, which was smooth, but it won’t be available until next year.

Unfortunately, wind and road noise are fairly intrusive, no matter what your speed.

Clever cabin but tiny boot

As the name implies, there’s still space for only a driver and one passenger. However, these two people are given quite a lot more room than before. The added width means even the very tall or very broad will now fit comfortably inside.

The driving position is not great though, with a high foot rest and a shortage of adjustment that makes it hard to find the perfect position. The seats are set high too, and height adjustment for the seat and steering wheel is a £295 extra.

Forward visibility is great, and the snub-nosed bonnet makes it easy to judge where the limits of the car are, but the thick rear pillars and small back window mean there are some serious over-the-shoulder blind spots, making the mirrors essential.

Bright, textured fabric covers most of the dash, and there are some gloss plastics on the vents and climate controls. However, hard, low-grade materials in the doors and on the transmission tunnel show that the Smart has been built down to a price.

Opening the boot is a two-stage process, with a glass hatch you can pop out when you want to drop something small in the back, or a split metal tailgate that folds out if you need to fit more inside, but it’s too small to take more than a few small bags.

Should I buy one?

The Smart Fortwo may be radically different from its predecessor, but its appeal remains the same. If all you need are two seats, a small boot and a city runabout, then it’s a fine alternative to the Toyota iQ.

However if you have no need of its turning circle, then it’s less practical (not to mention more expensive) than conventional three-door city cars such as the Skoda Citigo and Hyundai i10.

Both rivals are conservative, but will be almost as cheap to run for a private buyer, and come with more essential equipment and four seats as standard.

Suzuki Vitara

NO NONSENSE – THAT’S thesort of car the Suzuki Vitara is.It’s a chunky small SUV thatwants to offer useful familypracticality and easy-goingon-road manners, with a dashof off-road usability and designflair for good measure.

Prices will start from around£14,000 for the 1.6, two-wheel-drive petrol, stretching up to£19,500 for the top-specfour-wheel-drive 1.6 diesel, withair-con, digital radio, Bluetoothand alloy wheels on base SZ3trim, while SZ4 and SZ5 areexpected to get a touch-screensat-nav and climate control.

smoothly, and is generally more refined around town, keeping engine noise to an easily ignored hum unless you push it. Both models suffer from a fair amount of tyre noise, though.

Simple layout, grainy plastics

Suzukis are known for durability rather than a plush finish, and the Vitara is no different. Slide into the high-set driver’s seat and the first thing you notice is the broad sweep of grainy-looking, hard plastic. Still, while the cost-cutting is obvious, at least small touches such as the padding on the front armrests and the gloss-black trim help to lift the higher-spec trims slightly.

Otherwise, the air-con controls are straightforward, and the driving position is good, even if some drivers will wish for more lateral support from the seats.

Space is plentiful. An average-sized adult can sit behind a tall driver without feeling hemmed-in, and boot space is better than the Kia Soul’s.

Worth a closer look then?

Potentially, yes. Pricing is competitive, and PCP finance offers are likely to start from a reasonable £180 per month.

We’ll have to wait to drive a final production car – which could yet have some suspension tweaks, before drawing final conclusions, but the honest-feeling Vitara is likely to be a really recommendable option.

Underneath is a version ofthe chassis from the Suzuki SX4S-Cross, but tweaked to make theVitara more fun to drive. The ridecomfort on our pre-productiontest car was firm but well-damped, so while you feel bigbumps and dips in the road asa thump through the cabin, itrarely gets crashy, and there’slittle body lean through corners.

Both engines put out 118bhp, and are flexible enough to happily hold low revs around town. However, the diesel will be more popular with motorway drivers – it gets a six-speed gearbox and is more relaxed than the five-speed petrol.

That’s not to say the petrol is without merit. Other than being £1500 cheaper than the clattery diesel, it also revs more

it’s a really beautiful car to look

at. I’m quite surprised at the

size of it; I was expecting it to

be a little bit smaller, but I’m

very impressed.

‘I was amazed because

when you sit in it, it feels

quite compact, but you also

feel safe and secure in it. All the

controls are close to hand, too.

‘It is pretty low to the ground,

though. When pulling into

a car park, for example,

I would be a bit concerned

about going over a sleeping

policeman. I imagine that

may unnerve me a little bit in

day-to-day driving, but that’s

the only bad thing that’s really

struck me.

‘I own a Mk1 MX-5, which is

good fun to drive. However,

I get the impression I would feel

much safer and happier to take

this new version on a longer

journey, on motorways and

much farther afield.

‘I’m quite impressed. I was

expecting to be underwhelmed.

I thought the previous

generation was a bit soft, but

this has got a bit more oomph.

‘I’m pleased to see a

handbrake and a gearstick, and

no flappy paddles. It just feels

upmarket. My wife has an Audi

TT and I’m getting a similar sort

of feeling from this MX-5, rather

than a lower-end car.

‘I was interested to get

performance details and what it

might be like to live with on a

day-to-day basis. It’s ticked a lot

of boxes, actually, although when

I sat in the driver’s seat I could

feel the handbrake alongside the

gearstick – it feels a bit too close.

‘It looks great from the outside,

like a miniature Nissan 370Z. The

Mazda has the pumped-up

wheelarches and more presence

about it than the current version.

It’s definitely a head-turner.

‘Historically, Mazdas are

relatively cheap to buy, but I’m

seeing a premium product

in front of me, rather than

something put together cheaply,

so I wonder how much it’ll cost.’

A gearstick and no steering

wheel paddles pleased Alan

There are petrol and diesel engines, but none performs very strongly

more entertaining Ford Fiesta.It feels safe and dependable, witha body that stays largely stablearound corners and steeringthat’s accurate and consistent.

Impressively frugal engines

The diesel’s CO2 emissions figureof 89g/km is up with the best in the class, but the engine feels obviously tuned for economy – it feels ponderous despite its official 0-62mph time of 10.1sec.

IN THE SMALL car class, theVauxhall Corsa, Hyundai i20,Volkswagen Polo and the SkodaFabia have all been replaced orrevamped recently. Add in theperennially popular Ford Fiesta,and this latest version of theMazda 2 faces stiff competition.

On paper it looks like it’s up to the task. It gets Mazda’s Skyactiv fuel-saving engine technology, with CO2 emissions starting at 89g/km for the diesel and 105g/km for the petrol.

On-road improvement

The previous 2 was let down by its harsh ride and poor refinement, so Mazda has looked to address both issues on this new model. The efforts have been largely successful: the new car coped well with the occasional pothole and imperfection on the smooth roads of our test route. The ride is still relatively firm, but bumps don’t crash through the cabin.

The new 2 is much quieterthan its predecessor, too; itsengines – especially the diesel– are hushed. However, thismakes the wind noise fromaround the door mirrors evenmore noticeable.

Where the old 2 was about sporty handling and living up to the brand’s ‘zoom zoom’ advertising slogan, the new car feels much closer in character to the VW Polo, rather than the

What is it? Mazda’s latest small car, and rival to the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo

Verdict Early signs are good, but pricing will be key

Drive

There’s also a 1.5-litre petrol engine, available with power outputs of 74bhp, 89bhp or113bhp. The 89bhp version isthe most efficient, with CO2

emissions of 105g/km when paired with the standard five-speed manual gearbox.

It’s a sprightly engine, although it isn’t turbocharged, so if you do want to accelerate quickly you’ll need to keep the revs up.

Carbon-effect plastics on the doors feel cheap,

but the soft-touch dash is more of a success

Final specs are yet to be confirmed, but all

UK cars will get touch-screen as standard

Classy-looking cabin

The cabin looks great, and is a lot less cluttered than many rivals’.

The soft-touch fabrics on the dash also feel classy, although even allowing for the fact that this was a pre-production car, some other bits of the interior feel rather cheap, particularly the areas around the USB socket and on the inside of the doors.

There’s space for four adults, and it’s easy to get comfortable behind the wheel because there’s huge adjustment in the steering wheel and the driver’s seat.

Not so good out back

The boot matches the VW Polo’s 280 litres, but is smaller than a Ford Fiesta’s (290 litres) or Renault Clio’s (300 litres).

Fold the rear seats, and that space grows to 950 litres, which is less than you get in all three main rivals. There’s no adjustable boot floor, either, while there’s a large step in the extended load bay and a large lip to lift items over.

Mazda won’t confirm final specification and prices until closer to the 2’s launch in early 2015, but it has said that even basic cars will get a 7.0-inch screen, which is very good news.

It is a similar system to that in the Mazda 3, so isn’t as intuitive as that in the latest VW Polo. It does, however, allow you to download an app (from Apple or Android stores) that allows you to run internet radio, sat-nav, and social media apps through the system. Top-level cars will also get a head-up display.

Safety equipment is also very impressive, with blind-spot and lane-departure warnings, a city-brake system and automatic lights offered.

Without knowing the price, it’s tricky to give the definitive answer to whether you should buy a 2. It looks set to cost from £12,000 to £18,000, which means it’s likely to be more expensive than many of its rivals, so it’ll need to come well equipped.

However, assuming that’s the case, it has the attributes to take on the very best small cars – it’s good to drive, smart inside and competitive on CO2 emissions and fuel economy.

Porsche 911 Carrera GTS

IMAGINE A HAPPY mediumbetween the Carrera S and thetrack-focused GT3, and you’llprobably be thinking of the new911 GTS. Available with rear- orfour-wheel-drive, and a seven-speed manual or dual-clutchautomatic gearbox, the GTScaters to a broad audiencewhile being sharper to drivethan the standard 911.

The added edge is broughtabout by a power hike of 30bhp,firmer suspension, and all GTSmodels get the wider rear trackand flared arches of the Carrera4. Adaptive dampers and a sportsexhaust are also standard.

makes the GTS riotously exciting without ever being scary.

Go for the superb auto and it’s even easier to live with, although the GTS has a modified version of the seven-speed manual. This will be rolled out into all 911s and has a lighter shift action, making the manual a lot more tempting.

It all feels appropriately high-end inside the cabin, thanks to the swathes of Alcantara upholstery, and the front seats are supportive and comfortable.

The GTS comes with the option to remove the rear seats, but we’d keep them because they’re a convenient place to throw loose paraphernalia. They’re better for luggage than people though; even children will be uncomfortably cramped.

As ever, the front boot is fine for a couple of soft weekend bags.

A 911 with extra attitude

Any 911 Carrera is a heady thing, and the GTS is like experiencing it in high definition. The same sensations, but sharper.

So, forget about comparisons with other models in the range. It’s this simple: if you want a 911 but don’t want to nudge towards six figures, go for the sublime Carrera. If you want something with more bite (all the new GT3s have sold out anyway), then skip straight to the GTS. It’s better value than a Carrera S with equivalent performance upgrades, and more importantly, it’s fantastic to drive.

Sharper, but not scarier

You don’t immediately noticehow much more focused the GTSis – this is still an unintimidatingcar to cruise about in every day.

Open it up on an appropriateroad though, and you’ll quicklydiscover the point of the GTS.The rear-drive model has moregrip than a Carrera S thanks to itswider track, and when the tyresdo finally start to protest, it letsgo more progressively than thefour-wheel drive versions.

The steering is unchanged,so remains heavy and precise,making the GTS feel keen to turn-in and easy to place precisely.

We would choose the PDK automatic gearbox,

although the improved manual is worth a look

GTS is faster in a straight line and quicker around

corners than the Carrera S. It’s the one to choose

What is it? A 911 that’s faster than a Carrera S, but not as hardcore as a GT3

Verdict Forget the Carrera S, this is the fast 911 you should go for

Ride comfort is slightly harsh at low speeds, where it jars over sharp-edged bumps, but given the performance intent of the car, few will have any qualms about the ride.

Tooling around at low revs with this 3.8-litre engine is like going to a theme park and not riding the roller-coasters. It’s only as you shriek past 6000rpm that you discover just how thrillingly aggressive the GTS can be. Despite the extra power, there are no unexpected surges of acceleration. On top of this, the throttle and brake pedals are beautifully weighted, all of which

1 RESEARCHLook up the current

Target Price for the exact

model you want, at

whatcar.com. This is the

absolute maximum you

should pay, so decide

on a figure that’s below

the Target Price – this is

where you should start

your negotiations.

2 NEGOTIATEMake it clear when you

first meet the salesman

that you want to buy the

car today, but only at the

right price. Once you’ve

named your starting

price, let the dealer

respond with his

suggestion. Be firm but

polite when negotiating.

3 OPTIONSThe dealer can offer

the same percentage

discount on any factory-

fitted options and on

‘special edition’ cars, so

make sure you ask for this

once you’ve agreed a

price on the car itself. Try

to get some extras (car

mats) thrown in for free.

4 HOTLINEIf the salesman says he

can’t sell at the Target

Price, tell him that the

Target Price hotline will

be able to put you in

touch with a dealer near

you who will. This

information alone

may change his mind.

Alternatively, walk away

and call the hotline.

A new car’s list price is almost always negotiable. What you won’t know is just how much of a discount a dealer will offer – which is where What Car? Target Price comes in.

Car dealers don’t like you to know about new cars too soon, because

it opens them up to having to do a better deal, or means customers might delay a purchase until they’ve had a chance to try a new potential rival. That’s why What Car? ’s annual guide to the new cars that we know about for the year ahead offers vital information to help you buy the best car at the best price.

Here, we outline the launch dates of the most significant 108 new cars, picking out 32 of the important models for a more in-depth look.

If anything catches your eye, check whatcar.com, where we’ll update what we know as more details emerge.

‘We reveal the launch dates of 108 key cars’


THE NEW FABIA gets the same set of components that make up the latest Audi A3, Seat Leon, Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Golf. Everything from engines to infotainment systems is shared, at a compelling price that starts from £10,600.

The Fabia is being targeted at the likes of the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo – not just on price, but also on practicality and efficiency. The cabin is longer and wider than in the outgoing model, and there’s more head- and elbowroom. The new car also gets a boot that Skoda claims is the largest in its

segment, at 330 litres with the rear seats in place. With the seats folded this space increases to 1150 litres.

Bag hooks, two storage nets and a stowable hat shelf that can be used as a boot divider boost the boot’s practicality, too.

The engines are up to 17% more efficient, with four petrols and two diesels on offer. The entry-level petrol is a 59bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder unit, but our early drives suggest the sweet spot in the range is the 89bhp 1.2-litre engine. In time, a Greenline model will follow, with emissions of 80g/km.

More safety kit is now standard; automatic emergency braking that can stop the car if it senses an impending collision, plus a rear-view camera and hill-hold assist have been added.

The trim levels remain the same, with the entry-level S the only edition not equipped with air-con. All other editions, from SE upwards, will get a choice of two colour touch-screens with Bluetooth connectivity and the option to use some smartphone apps through the display.

An estate version of the car – called Fabia Combi – will follow a few months later.

The sweetest engine in

the new Fabia’s range is

the 89bhp 1.2 TSI, which

has a decent amount of

low-down shove, so you don’t

need to push it so hard. Wind

noise is evident at higher speeds,

while all cars have a light, but

notchy gearchange.

The Fabias we have driven so

far also struggled over bumpy

surfaces in town, and while the

ride is better at speed, it’s still

unsettled, because the body

bobs around over undulations.

Body lean is also an issue, and

is worse than in rivals. That said,

while the Fabia might not be as

sharp to drive as a Fiesta, its

handling is at least predictable

in corners.

Hyundai i20 January

Well priced, lots of space and a range of decent engines

Hyundai is looking to the i20 to beat the established class

leaders on a combination of price, equipment and space. It

has also added a dash of extrovert styling to the mix, most

notably with a ‘floating roof’ design and LED front lights.

Inside, there’s also an all-new dashboard design that

showcases much-improved materials plus a new layout.

While the engines are familiar Hyundai units at launch, a

new, more economical three-cylinder engine will join the

line-up later in 2015. Prices are expected to start at £11,000.

successful small cars. It says

the Celerio sits between a city

Honda Jazz June

Latest engineering and ingenious interior layout work well

Honda has gone back to what it does best with the new Jazz,

basing it on an all-new platform that allows for a larger,

cleverer interior layout than ever before.

The Jazz will feature Honda’s latest ‘magic seats’

arrangement; as well as allowing the rear seats to fold flat,

the ‘cinema style’ rear-seat bases can be raised on their own.

The front suspension has also been completely redesigned;

Honda says this will bring improvements to both ride and

refinement. We expect prices to start around £12,000.

Vauxhall Viva June

Vauxhall’s new five-door city car will sell for around £8000

The Vauxhall Viva name will return to UK dealerships in June

for the first time since 1979.

Vauxhall describes the Viva – so far only revealed in a

shrouded image – as ‘an all-new five-door entry-level model’.

It will sit below the Vauxhall Adam and Vauxhall Corsa in the

firm’s line-up. Power is likely to come from the current Adam

engines. That means 1.2 and 1.4-litre petrol motors, as well as

the firm’s impressive new 1.0-litre turbocharged engine,

available in 89bhp and 113bhp forms. Likewise, trim levels are

expected to be comparable with those on the new Corsa.

THE LATEST GENERATION ofVW’s rival to the Ford Mondeoand Vauxhall Insignia is greener(thanks to a new line-up ofengines) and better to drive, withchassis components that alreadyunderpin the Audi A3, SkodaOctavia and VW Golf.

The new Passat is actuallyslightly shorter than the carit replaces, by a couple ofmillimetres, and significantlylighter. In fact, it weighs up to85kg less, thanks to a lighterbody structure, greater use ofhigh-tensile steel, a new chassis,a different dashboard (this saves4kg alone) and the new engines.

Volkswagen claims the weightloss helps to improve fueleconomy by up to 20% overthe outgoing model’s figures.

Inside, there’s fractionallymore passenger space because,despite the small reductionin external dimensions, thewheelbase is actually 8cmlonger than the old car’s. VWclaims increased leg- andheadroom for all passengers,as well as more boot space;there’s 586 litres of capacityin the saloon (1152 litres withthe rear seats lowered) and650 litres in the Estate (1780with the seats down).

The most radical new featurein the cabin is what VW calls theoptional Active Info Display.In effect, it’s a fully digitalinstrument panel, á la Audi TT;it has no physical dials, and thesystem can shrink or enlargeelements depending on whichtask it is performing. Activatenavigation, for example, and therev-counter and speedometerdials are shrunk, allowing thecentral area to display the map.

Prices start at £22,215, makingthe Passat more expensive thanthe Octavia and the new FordMondeo – although its residualvalue should eclipse both.

DRIVING IMPRESSIONS Volkswagen Passat JanuaryLatest tech and plush interior allow for a move upmarket; can the Passat trouble the BMW 3 Series?

The new Passat is good

to drive, well equipped

and beautifully made

Not normally a car to

set pulses racing, the

new Passat wins you

over slowly but surely.

The high-quality cabin has more

space and sheer class than ever

before, it shares its impressive

technology with the latest Audi

TT, and can now comfortably go

toe-to-toe with the best German

execs. It is also a lot sharper to

drive, with smooth and refined

engines, and a supple ride.

Combine all these talents with

class-leading CO2 emissions and

a generous level of kit, and the

Passat really is hard to fault. As

a saloon or an Estate, it makes

a lot of sense, and it leaves the

new Ford Mondeo feeling

distinctly like the poor relation.

Vauxhall Astra Autumn

UK-built and promising to take on the Ford Focus

Vauxhall knows it needs to produce a smash-hit car if it is to

fend off the attentions of rising car makers such as Kia and

Hyundai without the need to resort to heavy discounting.

As such, we expect the Astra, which will be built in

Ellesmere Port in the UK, to feature grown-up interpretations

of what’s been seen on the recently launched Corsa.

That means sharp exterior styling, a more lavish interior

with the latest infotainment tech, and a range of efficient

engines, including the new three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine,

which should rival Ford’s Ecoboost offering.

VW Golf GTE Summer

Hot hatch performance but ultra-low fuel and tax bills

The VW Golf GTE is the first plug-in hybrid car from VW. It is

powered by a 148bhp 1.4-litre turbo engine and an electric

motor, with power going through a six-speed double-clutch

automatic gearbox. This alliance is good for 201bhp; by

comparison the standard Golf GTI produces 217bhp.

The GTE can travel 31 miles on electric power alone, or

up to 580 miles if you run the petrol tank dry, and will take

3.5 hours to charge via a three-pin plug, or 2.5 hours on

a domestic wall box. Company car drivers should be more

interested in the 35g/km CO2 emissions.

Toyota FCV Summer

The first hydrogen fuel cell-powered production car

The FCV has two hydrogen fuel tanks and a range of about

440 miles, thanks to a fuel cell stack that develops the

electrical equivalent of about 135bhp.

Toyota says the FCV ‘Delivers a performance and cruising

speed similar to those of a petrol-engined car and it can be

refuelled in roughly three minutes’.

No pricing has been revealed, but Japanese versions of the

car cost around £45,000.

AT LONG LAST, the Jaguar XE – a rival for the Audi A4, BMW 3Series and Mercedes C-Class – is here. Better still, on paper at least, it has the attributes required not just to fight the very best class rivals, but eclipse them.

The final word will come when we drive the car in early 2015, but for now we know that Jaguar has combined a cutting-edge aluminium chassis with an all-new range of engines and in-cabin technology.

There are five engine choices; two diesels and three petrols. Prices start from £26,995 for the entry-level petrol-engined car

and climb to £44,870 for the current range-topping performance S model. The likely best-seller, powered by a 161bhp 2.0-litre diesel, is the Jaguar XE 2.0d, priced from £29,775.

This version is also the least-polluting XE, making it an obvious target for company car buyers. It will deliver average economy of 75mpg and emissions of just 99g/km of CO2 when equipped with the six-speed manual gearbox. When linked to the eight-speed automatic those figures are 104g/km and 71.7mpg. That makes it the most efficient

Jaguar ever built and eclipses the best currently offered by rivals.

At the other end of the scale sits the Jaguar XE S. It is powered by a supercharged 335bhp 3.0-litre V6 engine that takes the XE from 0-60mph in 4.9sec and delivers 361lb ft of pulling power, taking it to a limited top speed of 155mph. Prices of the Jaguar XE S start from £44,870, while it averages 34.9mpg and emits 194g/km of CO2.

Something for everyone? Not yet, perhaps, although rumours persist of a BMW M3-baiting range-topper, plus variants including a coupé and estate.

Although we haven’t

driven it yet, we’ve

had plenty of

opportunities to

poke around the Jaguar XE.

For some, the interior

is slightly too fussy and

button-laden, but for most

buyers it probably has what it

takes to stand up to scrutiny

against the slightly bland but

functional BMW 3 Series and

ageing Audi A4. That’s a result

that will please Jaguar, given it

has targeted class leadership in

other areas. However, the new

Merc C-Class is the car that sets

the class standard for interior

quality, comfort and technology

– and we suspect it will stay

ahead of the XE on that front.

BMW 3 Series face-lift Summer

A mid-life face-lift of rare significance

Only a face-lift perhaps, but a critical one as the established

class leader comes under attack from all directions. As such,

the most significant news is unlikely to be expected tweaks

to the bumpers, headlights and interior trim, and instead will

focus on a new range of ultra-efficient engines.

The whisper is that the most efficient 2.0-litre diesel will

achieve 99g/km when linked with an automatic gearbox,

giving it a small but significant edge over the on-paper class

leader in this department, the Jaguar XE. What’s more,

a plug-in hybrid variant may further lower that figure.

Alfa ‘Giulia’ Summer

Long-awaited Italian take on the compact executive class

The on-off saga of Alfa’s new assault on the BMW 3 Series is

back on, with the car set to be unveiled this summer. It has

the dual task of fighting in one of the most competitive

classes of cars and getting some real momentum back

behind the Alfa brand.

Details are scarce, although it is reported that the Giulia

name may end up being a working title. Inevitably, all the

signals are that it will focus on exterior style; Alfa claims to

have spent longer perfecting this car than any before.

Audi A4 Autumn

Much needed improvements to remain competitive

Rumours of the A4’s launch being delayed have swirled for

some months, but the signs are that none of this should

worry buyers when it finally hits showrooms later in the year.

The delays are said to have centred around perfecting a

vehicle that must eclipse its rivals in a manner that makes it

stand out from the pack; potential big wins could come in the

form of CO2 emissions that may beat the Jaguar XE’s, better

driving dynamics than the 3 Series’ or a better cabin than the

C-Class’s – or a combination of all of the above.

Autumn


THE FORD S-MAX has alwaysmanaged that neat trick ofbeing both practical and fun fora family to live with. This all-newmodel promises more of thesame, with a better interior andmore equipment.

Even though the dimensionshaven’t changed much, theS-Max is visually very differentto the old car. It sits lower, hasa marginally higher window line,and higher trim levels getfull-LED headlights.

Ford has also changed the seatarrangement to make more ofthe space inside. To improveaccess to the third row of seats

the second row now moves upand forward. This sends the baseinto the footwell rather than itfolding and sliding, so you get abig gap to climb through. All fiveof the rear seats can be foldedindividually, while the middlerow also slides.

In a first for the MPV class, youcan choose an option that allowsall five rear seats to be droppedusing buttons in the boot. Oncefolded they create a flat load bayand a lip-free entry to the boot.

Other practical touchesinclude a hands-free tailgate,operated by waving a footbeneath the bumper, and a tow

hitch that folds out electronically.Safety in the back has increasedtoo, because the middle seatsnow have side airbagsincorporated; seatbelt pre-tensioners have also been added.

While the S-Max’s engineline-up is expected to remainsimilar, the dashboard has beensimplified, with fewer buttonsbut a large colour touch-screen(see right).

Prices for the S-Max will be setcloser to its launch in summer2015, but are not expected todeviate greatly from those ofthe current car, which starts ataround £23,000.

Mercedes V-Class Early 2015

A plush way to carry large families

The new V-Class might borrow some underpinnings from the

Mercedes Viano van, but you’d never know that was the case

when you climb onboard. Plenty of quality materials give it

a unique character and move it clear of more utilitarian rivals

such as the VW Multivan. So they should, at around £40k.

It’s versatile, too, with seating arrangements ranging

from two up front and two rows of three seats in the back,

through to two seats in the front and four seats facing each

other in the back, creating something akin to a well-

appointed mobile office.

Peugeot 5008 Spring

Cleaner, more economical petrol and diesel engines

The Peugeot 5008 has long been well regarded by

What Car?, but has started to look long in the tooth

compared with fresher-faced competition.

Among the improvements coming this spring are

a range of new petrol and diesel engines, which will be

Euro VI- compliant on emissions and are likely to bring

efficiency and economy gains.

These engines will go on sale in the Peugeot 3008 at the

same time. Given Peugeot’s recent record on powertrains,

the gains should be significant.

Ford C-Max Summer

Face-lifts brings it into line with the revised Focus

It’s a mid-life refresh rather than all-new car, but more

equipment has been added and the interior has been

significantly revamped; a new instrument panel does

away with the mobile phone-inspired mess of the current

car, replacing it with a simpler layout.

The seven-seat Grand C-Max will get a similar array of

modifications, while both cars also get new Ecoboost

engine variants.

FIAT’S LOVE AFFAIR with (and reliance upon) the 500 brand continues apace, and the 500X is another example of this.

The 500X is the closest thing Fiat has to a conventional rival for the VW Golf and Ford Focus. In the metal it’s an interesting sight, with clear cues from the 500 on a noticeably larger, more chunky body (it’s actually based on the chassis underpinnings from the Punto, not the 500). Still, we can see how it would appeal to 500 buyers who’ve had the sort of lifestyle change that would otherwise force them to shop away from the brand; Fiat

is trying to stop this from happening, much in the same way that Mini has launched the Countryman and 5dr.

The 500X’s mechanical make-up sounds comprehensive enough, with four petrol engines and three diesels on offer, and the choice of a five- and six-speed manual gearboxes or a new nine-speed transmission. A four-wheel-drive version is also available, although it seems very much more road-focused than its sister car, the Jeep Renegade.

The examples we saw at the Paris motor show looked more sensible than the regular 500s,

but Fiat says it will offer a full range of personalisation options.

The cabin seems more grown-up than the 500’s too, with better materials, and while the low floor means a big step over the sill as you climb aboard, there’s plenty of headroom for tall adults, even in the back.

Will it sell? It’s hard to see why it shouldn’t. If Fiat stays sensible with the pricing then the 500X should be a really competitive rival for everything from the Mini Countryman to the Nissan Juke. It may even snare a few Golf and Focus customers along the way.

The 500X is a much

larger car than the 500,

which translates to the

cabin. There’s decent shoulder-

room up front for two full-size

occupants, and the fascia looks

a lot more grown-up and

practical than the 500’s.

The rear has surprising

amounts of headroom, helped

by a low floor, and two adults

should be happy enough there

on a reasonable journey. In truth,

space for grown-ups in the back

isn’t all that important; Fiat sees

the 500X as a car for 500

owners who now have a young

family. With its rear cabin

accommodation and a deep

boot for buggies, it looks very

well judged.

Renault ‘Qashqai’ Summer

The Captur’s bigger brother

It’s a measure of the Nissan Qashqai’s success that whenever

another firm jumps on the bandwagon and reveals its own

interpretation of the family-sized crossover, it’s referred to as

that maker’s ‘Qashqai rival’.

What makes this Renault a bit different is that it is based on

exactly the same platform as the Qashqai, because the two

parent companies are part of a corporate alliance.

In looks, expect a more grown up version of the hugely

popular Renault Captur, which should ensure the car has the

cheeky, characterful appeal that’s important in this class.

Range Rover Evoque Summer

Minor styling tweaks, major revisions to the powertrains

As smash-hit sales successes go, the Evoque is right up there.

No surprises, then, to learn that our sources are suggesting

the evolution of its striking looks is going to be very subtle.

More pertinently, the Evoque is set to benefit from parent

company JLR’s new range of engines, called Ingenium.

At the same time, the rumoured introduction of the

Evoque cabriolet should net some headlines. An open-top

4x4 might sound wacky, but in some markets (notably the

US) it’ll be a smash hit.

Honda HR-V Summer

More overt styling combined with engine efficiency

After a few years of anonymity, Honda’s set for a bumper

2015, thanks to the Civic Type-R, NSX and Jazz, and this

Nissan Juke rival is at the centre of its offering.

Honda says the HR-V will stand out from rivals because of

its practicality and, most notably, its clever storage systems.

These include the magic seat arrangement found in the Jazz,

which allows the second row of seats to be folded flat.

We expect the engine line-up to mirror the Jazz’s, while

prices are expected to start at around £16,000.

IN THE NEXT four years every Volvo will have been relaunched, and the new-generation XC90 is the first part of that £6.5bn investment plan.

It sits on a modular set of chassis parts that will underpin almost all of those future products, so it’s no understatement to say that the firm’s future hinges on its success.

In price and intent the car is now very much a BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg rival. That means a significant move upmarket from the old, heavily discounted

model, but it is a claim Volvo is confident it can pull off, not least because of what it perceives as a small but significant niche of buyers who are starting to reject Germanic perceptions of what ‘premium’ cars should stand for.

It’s a fair point, and the clincher in many a sales chat to come could well be the cabin, and in particular the beautiful fascia. Volvo has managed to blend natural materials, in particular high-grade leathers and woods, with digital displays, including a huge central touch-screen that controls many of the car’s functions.

There are three individual middle seats and decently sized rear seats, all of which makes the XC90 that rare thing of being a seven-seater that is genuinely comfortable to be in.

It has impressive CO2 figures – not only from the diesel-engined variants but also from a plug-in hybrid version that officially averages more than 100mpg.

There are some new safety tricks, too, including a function that can brake the car if it detects you are about to pull out of a junction and hit something.

All of that is why the XC90 looks compelling already.

Perhaps our most telling

moment with the XC90

so far came when the

seven-year-old son of one of our

Reader Test Team members

hopped in and started playing

with the central control screen.

It’s iPad-sized and mounted

vertically, so the psychology is

the same as using a mobile

phone. There are three hub

screens, which can be scrolled

between with the flick of a finger,

each button responds quickly,

and you can pinch and swipe on

the sat-nav to zoom in and out.

Using it was, quite obviously,

child’s play. Better still, it controls

the car’s major functions, leaving

just six neatly arranged buttons

elsewhere. Such a cabin is a joy.

Bentley SUV Late 2015

Toned down design for forthcoming £200k SUV

It’s odd now to think that the original Bentley SUV concept,

which was revealed at the Geneva motor show in 2012,

caused such a storm of protest. The naysayers were aghast:

how could such a quintessentially English firm, with its

values of sophistication and quality, produce a vehicle so,

well, nouveau riche?

Now, three years later, with some of the gaudier styling set

to be toned down and every other luxury manufacturer

following Bentley’s lead and investigating launching their

own £200,000 SUV, it seems entirely logical.

Kia Sorento Spring

If the costs are right, this could be a seven-seat leader

The new Sorento is nearly 10cm longer than the outgoing

version, and is available only as a seven-seater in the UK. Kia

has promised strides in interior quality, so expect better-

quality plastics than before and a much more sophisticated

infotainment system. The boot grows, too; with the third row

of seats lowered there are 605 litres of space on offer, a gain

of almost 20% on the old car’s capacity.

If Kia plays a smart game on pricing and finance, then we

can see a spot for the Sorento as a big-value carry-all.

Land Rover Discovery Sport January

Replacement for the Freelander is more upmarket

The Land Rover Freelander is replaced by this new Land

Rover Discovery Sport, a seven-seat SUV that will kick-start

a new family of models sold with the Discovery name.

Prices will start from £32,395, slightly up on those of the

current model, but Land Rover says the additional cost is

justified by the design, technical and practical improvements

made on the Discovery Sport.

Highlights include extra middle-row legroom that’s on

IF YOU’VE GOT a thimble of engine oil running through your veins, the sight of a new Mazda MX-5 will set your pulse racing. This, after all, is a sports car that has redefined the idea of fun, affordable motoring during the 25 years that it has been on sale.

Despite its different look and all-new underpinnings, the new MX-5 has similar characteristics to its predecessors: it is a lightweight, two-seat, soft-top sports car with rear-wheel drive and 50:50 weight distribution.

Thanks to use of lightweight materials such as aluminium in key parts of the car, the MX-5 is

expected to weigh from just 1050kg (around 100kg less than the current car), aiding agility. These lightweight materials have helped lower the MX-5’s centre of gravity which should enhance the driving experience.

The MX-5 has double-wishbone suspension at the front and a multi-link set-up at the rear. Mazda says this is focused solely on ensuring driving pleasure. In addition, the MX-5’s bonnet is lower than before, and the A-pillars and windscreen top are thinner and farther back than before, to give the driver a better view

of the road and greater peripheral vision.

Direct-injection Skyactiv 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre petrol engines are expected to deliver around 140bhp and 180bhp respectively, and both can be linked to six-speed manual or automatic gearboxes.

Although it is not yet confirmed, persistent reports suggest a price rise over the current entry-level model’s £19,995 is inevitable because of the development costs and added desirability of the new car. As such, an entry-level figure of around £22,000 is likely.

Mazda has worked really

hard to boil down the

spirit of MX-5. This new

edition looks beautifully

proportioned – much better in

the metal than in photos, frankly

– with a sharp nose and cute

round tail-lights. In an era where

cars just seem to get bigger and

bigger, the new MX-5 is 10cm

shorter than the car it replaces.

Better still, the seating position

feels fantastic, the pedals are just

where you’d want them and the

interior quality is a major step

forward. We know Mazda

gearboxes can have sweet shift

mechanisms and the latest

range of Skyactiv engines loves

to be revved. We’re optimistic

it’ll be a joy to drive.

Stunning looks, a sumptuous cabin and a mighty V8

The AMG GT has been conceived as a two-seat rival to cars

such as the Porsche 911 Turbo and Aston Martin V12 Vantage,

but with a front-engine, rear-drive layout.

It is designed to fulfil two briefs – that of hard-edged

sportster, and also a long-distance, high-performance GT.

Power is provided by a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine that

comes in two states of tune. The standard car will develop

456bhp and 443lb ft of pulling power, while the full-on S

model will have 503bhp and 479lb ft. The GT S will go on sale

Honda Civic Type-R Summer

Honda wants it to be fastest around the Nürburgring

It’s hard to believe that a company that has in the past

There’s substance behind this style, too. At present, all we

know is that at the heart of the new Civic Type R is an all-new

turbocharged 2.0-litre i-VTEC petrol engine. Honda will only

confirm it has ‘more than 276bhp’ and that it will rev to

7000rpm. Hold on tight.

Ford Focus ST Spring

An already great car gets tweaks to make it better still

As well as visual tweaks, there are significant suspension and

steering modifications, plus a reworked engine line-up that

includes a diesel option and hatch and estate bodystyles.

The 2.0-litre TDCi diesel produces 182bhp and can sprint

from 0-62mph in 8.1sec. It returns a claimed average of

64.2mpg and emits 114g/km of CO2.

Ford’s 2.0-litre petrol has 247bhp and the car can do the

There will be two petrolengines. The entry point in therange will be a new 2.3-litrefour-cylinder turbo with 306bhp,while the flagship version has athumping 5.0-litre V8 (as youmight have guessed) with420bhp and 400lb ft of torque.Both cars come with a six-speedmanual gearbox as standard,

with the optional of a six-speedautomatic. As before, thereare two bodystyles on offer– a coupé, and a convertible.

Ford reckons that around twothirds of Mustang buyers will optfor the 2.3-litre coupé, which haslower running costs than the V8,is cheaper to buy and easier todrive smoothly in town.

Based on our first experiencethough, we’d struggle torecommend it over Europeanrivals such as the new Audi TTand BMW M235i, or indeed fasthot hatches such as the Audi S3and BMW M135i. These weighless, handle better, and are faster.

However, the full-fat 5.0-litreV8 is a unique proposition in thecoupé segment. None of its rivalsoffers such a large engine, orquite so much power for lessthan £35,000. It looks andsounds amazing, is seriouslyquick and feels more enjoyablethan the four-cylinder car ona challenging road.

Based on our early drivingexperiences, then, only oneversion still delivers theauthentic muscle car drivingexperience to go with the agilenew chassis. Meanwhile, thefour-pot version feels like a bitof a show pony.

Coupés and cabriolets

DRIVING IMPRESSIONS Ford Mustang SeptemberAmerican muscle car icon has been designed to appeal to even more people, and it’s right-hand drive

Less than £35k will get you

a V8 ’Stang with the steering

wheel on the correct side

Few experiences are as

evocative as driving the

most iconic of muscle

cars down the Pacific

Coast highway, sun beating

down and a sonorous V8

rumbling under the bonnet. Yet

for all its embodiment of the

American dream, the Mustang

now has to work in the UK.

That means it has to be judged

against the best sporting coupés

around, and the signs are not

good. It may handle better than

any previous Mustang, but the

firm ride, inconsistent steering

and huge proportions may make

it a handful.

Nonetheless, as a cut-price

BMW M3 rival, the V8 version

could be a bit of a cult classic.

Paul Bond



Audi TT Roadster March

Should be great to drive, and the roof drops in 10 sec

The coupé has already set our pulses racing, earning a

five-star rating in its first What Car? group test. Of course,

that doesn’t guarantee glory, but all the signs are that the

latest TT Roadster – priced around £2200 more than the

coupé – will follow on where the last one left off.

For your money you get a fully automatic soft top that can

be opened and closed in just 10 seconds at speeds of up to

31mph. On top of that there’s the appeal of the car’s classic

look, its futuristic digital dash display and a line-up of fast

but economical engines.

BMW 2 Series Convertible March

Striking looks and, says BMW, a raft of improvements

It will surprise few people to know that BMW says its 2 Series

Convertible is better than the 1 Series Convertible it replaces

in many ways. Highlights? BMW points at the increased

space, ease of access, refinement, driving ability, and kit. The

car will also come with a high-performance M variant.

The elephant in the room? The Audi A3 Cabriolet is not

only its most obvious rival, but also a very fine car. It’s so fine,

that it’s our convertible of the year this year, because it

strikes a great balance between comfort and entertainment.

We can’t wait to find out how this head to head goes.

Lexus RC F January

Hypercar-derived V8 promises vast performance

This is Lexus’s answer to the BMW M4, albeit with a

higher price at £59,995. Still, it gives you an awful lot of

performance and standard kit.

Using technology taken from the LFA hypercar, the RC F’s

naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 produces 471bhp and 392lb ft

of torque. It is linked to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Lexus claims the car can hit 60mph in 4.5sec and has a top

speed of almost 170mph, which should wow most people.

Performance

BMWLand RoverLexusVolvo

Despite having the leastpowerful engine, the XC60 isactually the fastest of the fourwhen you put your foot down.That’s mainly because itsfront-wheel-drive layout (theothers all have four-wheel drive)means it’s lighter than its rivals.

That said, the BMW isn’t muchslower, and its engine actually

develops its peak pulling powerat lower revs, meaning you canbuild speed in a slightly morerelaxed fashion. The X3’s brillianteight-speed automatic gearboxhelps here, responding morequickly and smoothly than theVolvo’s and nearly alwayschoosing the most appropriategear for the task at hand.

Our acceleration figures showthe Lexus is ultimately just asquick as the BMW, and its electricmotor gives an instant hit oftorque at low speeds. Sadly,things aren’t so impressive out

on the open road, because whenever you ask for a burst of acceleration the Lexus takes an age to respond; first there’s a pause, then the petrol engine’s revs soar before finally you start to accelerate.

The Land Rover was the slowest performer in our tests, although it rarely feels short of puff. It’s just a shame the nine-speed auto ’box hesitates for so long when you go to pull out of junctions, and changes down unnecessarily when you just want to build speed gently.

X3 offers strong performance and has the most

responsive and intelligent automatic gearbox

adequate. Auto gearbox is slow-witted, though

BMW X3 vs Land Rover Discovery Sport vs Lexus NX vs Volvo XC60

Ride & handling

BMW Land Rover Lexus Volvo

An SUV needs to be comfortable, but sloppy handling isn’t an acceptable compromise.

The new Discovery Sport strikes that balance pretty well, with a ride that’s smooth and settled on faster roads, and is only slightly lumpy in town.

If you’re hoping the ‘Sport’ badge hints at what the Land Rover is like to drive then you’ll be slightly disappointed, because it’s not particularly fleet-footed. That said, it changes direction without too much body sway, grips well and has precise steering with enough feedback.

The BMW is more impressive. It rides with a level of sophistication the Discovery Sport simply can’t match, staying more settled at low speeds and with less nausea-inducing body bounce on country roads.

However, it should be noted that our test X3 was fitted with BMW’s optional (£940) variable dampers, which let you stiffen and soften the suspension at the touch of a button. The X3 also has the most natural-feeling and communicative steering, although we do wish it wasn’t so heavy when manoeuvring.

Meanwhile, the Volvo’s soft suspension deals with speed bumps even better than the BMW’s. Things aren’t quite as settled over scruffy town surfaces and potholes, but the XC60 lopes along comfortably on A-roads and motorways. There’s plenty of body lean in bends, but the Volvo never lurches about in an uncontrolled fashion – although its steering is vague and overly keen to self-centre, which can be disconcerting at speed.

The NX does a reasonable job of staying flat though bends, but its front tyres wash wide of your intended line too early; its steering doesn’t do a great job of telling you what’s about to happen, either.

An even bigger bugbear is the Lexus’s ride. At low speeds, you feel too many imperfections through your backside, and potholes are transmitted straight through to the cabin. �

The Discovery Sport’s wideseats are comfortable even onlong journeys. Our test car camewith optional £1045 10-wayelectric adjustment, whichincludes adjustable lumbarsupport, although you can haveeight-way electric seatadjustment for a morereasonable £420.


Both the Lexus and Volvo getelectric front seats as standard(including adjustable lumbarsupport) and the seats in bothcars are very comfortable.The Lexus’s are particularlysupportive, with its side bolstersholding you in place better.

Tweaking the height of themanually adjustable driver’sseat in the BMW is more ofa chore, because you have tosimultaneously pull a lever andraise or drop your body.

Still, at least the front seats aregenerally comfortable, but

Adding nav brings

BMW has set the benchmark

in this area for quite some time

now. The X3’s iDrive interface

is wonderfully intuitive; you

simply twist a rotary dial on the

centre console to scroll through

the various on-screen menus,

then push the dial to make a

selection. You can even shortcut

your way to certain functions by

pressing one of the buttons that

surround the dial.

Land Rover hasn’t quite

matched the X3 with its new

Incontrol system, complete with

an 8.0-inch colour touch-screen

that responds quickly to prods

of your finger. Despite the

straightforward home menu

and shortcut buttons making

it easy to switch between

functions (it takes only two

prods of the screen to get to

postcode entry on the nav), it’s

still harder to use this system

on the move because some

icons are tricky to hit precisely.

It costs just £50 extra to

add a second USB socket to the

Land Rover, and the Discovery

Sport’s standard 10-speaker

sound system is also the best

here, with more depth of tone

than the standard systems in

the other three SUVs.

Meanwhile the Lexus is one of

only two manufacturers (along

with Volvo) that charges extra

for sat-nav. The NX’s standard

screen can also be hard to see in

direct sunlight and, although the

rotary dial controller makes it

fairly easy to hop to the icon

you’re after, performing certain

functions is an unnecessarily

convoluted process.

The Volvo’s system is the

most frustrating to use, though,

with a small screen that’s

controlled with a cluster of

buttons and a small rotary dial

on the dashboard. The layers

of unintuitive menus mean you

need plenty of button-prods and

rotary twists even to find simple

things, such as a track list of

the music currently playing.

The buttons crammed onto the

faces of the dials are also small

and tricky to press.

Only Lexus offers a rear-seat

entertainment package. For

£1250 you get integrated rear

screens and a DVD player, or for

£500 you’ll get a couple of iPad

docks on the backs of the front

head restraints.

However, Land Rover’s rear

entertainment system is

available only on more

expensive Discovery Sports. �

The Volvo’s dash is the worst in terms of ease of use, with too many small buttons. Things are better in the Lexus, although the high-set air-con controls could be more intuitive.

It’s easier to figure out what does what in the Land Rover, with simple, clearly marked rotary air-con controls halfway up the centre console. The X3 gets an uncluttered layout with controls that are easy to use, too.

All four cars come with alloy

The only car without front

parking sensors is the XC60.

If you want these you’ll have to

fork out an extra £325.

Meanwhile, leather seats

are included in the price of the

BMW, Lexus and Volvo, but

disappointingly, Land Rover

provides only part-leather seats

as standard. If you want full

leather it’ll cost you a further

£650. That said, the Volvo is the

only one without heated seats.

Overall, though, the Lexus

has the longest kit list. Although

it’s the only car without an

electronic tailgate, it gets LED

headlights, keyless entry and

start and a reversing camera,

which are either expensive

options or not available at all on

the other three cars.

BMW and Volvo each provide

two ‘free’ paint colours: white

and black, and white and red

respectively; Land Rover offers

only white and Lexus only black.

Quality and reliability


On one hand, the Lexus’s interiorfeels well built, with tight andconsistent panel gaps, solid-feeling switches and a varietyof textures that make it looksuitably smart. However, it’s letdown by exposed bolt-heads onthe centre console, and cheap-feeling material surrounding thebuttons on the steering wheel.

The other three cars all havemore consistently high-qualityinteriors, with denser soft-touchmaterials in most of theimportant areas, and slicklydamped switches and knobs.The Volvo’s cabin, while in manyways the most conservativelystyled, feels even more solid thanthe BMW’s and Land Rover’s, withmore soft-touch plastics.

BMW didn’t fare as well, with the pre-face-lifted X3 coming towards the bottom of the SUV class if you consider only reliability, and the brand as a whole finishing a disappointing 24th (out of 26 manufacturers).

The XC60 didn’t feature in the most recent survey, but Volvo as a brand suffered fewer faults overall than the other brands.

‘The NX’s interior is solid, but quality is mixed’

Refinement

BMW Land Rover Lexus Volvo

Several months after it goes on sale the Discovery Sport will get a brand new 2.0-litre diesel engine. That’s a good thing because the 2.2-litre engine in this version (carried over from the Freelander) is gruff at low speeds, and sends a few too many tremors through the steering wheel and pedals when you accelerate.

The Land Rover isn’t the most refined SUV in other respects, either, because its door mirrors generate some wind noise on the motorway, and a noticeable amount of road noise finds its way into the cabin.

Still, the Discovery Sport is a positively hushed cruiser compared with the NX. The Japanese car lets even more road noise into its cabin at 70mph, while you can also hear its suspension working away on any road that isn’t perfectly smooth.

The NX is more impressive around town, where if you drive it gently the electric motor has enough power for near-silent progress. Any attempt to build speed in a hurry just brings frustration, though, because the e-CVT transmission causes its petrol engine to rev hard, even under relatively moderate acceleration.

The Lexus’s regenerative brakes are also frustrating; the amount of pressure you put on the pedal doesn’t directly relate to how quickly you stop, which makes it difficult to slow your progress smoothly.

Meanwhile, the Volvo is the quietest cruiser here. You can barely hear its engine at 70mph, and while there’s some wind noise, little road noise finds its way into the cabin. True, the XC60’s engine is a little coarse when you work it hard, but it’s actually quieter than the BMW’s which – despite improvements – is still rather vocal.

At least the X3’s engine doesn’t send much vibration through to the driver, and the BMW generates less wind and road noise than in any of the other SUVs. �

Space and practicality


The Land Rover is the shortestcar here, yet it gets seven seatsas standard where the othersdon’t offer them even as anoption. There’s lots of room inthe front, and two tall adults cansit comfortably in the middlerow, which slides and reclines ina 60:40 split, and can be tiltedforwards easily to give access tothe third row.

You need to be dexterous tosqueeze through the awkwardgap, though, and ‘occasional’ isthe best way to describe the twoseats you’ll find when you getthere; an adult or older child willfeel cramped in the third row,especially around the foot area.The other three SUVs have plentyof space for tall peopleup front, and for two lankyoccupants in the back, althoughthe Volvo is comparably tighton rear legroom, and the Lexus isnoticeably shorter on rearheadroom than its rivals.

Despite having the most rearlegroom, reclining backrests anda flat floor, the Lexus isn’t greatfor three in the back, because theroof tapers in at the outer edge ofthe car. The BMW, Land Roverand Volvo all have a raised tunnelrunning along the centre of thefloor that middle-seat passengershave to straddle, although theDiscovery Sport’s wide cabin andcomparatively flat seat make itbest for carrying three across.

All of these SUVs have bigboots, but it’s the BMW that’s themost useful, with its low load lip,deep load bay, and rear seats thatfold almost flat. That said, theXC60 is best for particularly longor wide items, thanks to its extrawidth and front passenger seatthat can be folded.

The Lexus’s boot is similarlybroad, and with its rear seatstoppled there’s only a slight slopein the extended load bay. It’s justa pity there’s a high lip to liftstuff over.

In five-seat mode, the LandRover’s boot is only slightlysmaller than the others’. It’snarrower, though, and itemscan fall into the gap betweenthe boot floor and middle rowof seats. �

Buying and owning

BMW

Land Rover Lexus Volvo

Open the brochures of these four cars and you’ll see the Land Rover is the most expensive by £185 over the Volvo. The BMW and Lexus, meanwhile, are around £1000 cheaper.

After dealer discounts are taken into account, though, the Volvo is the cheapest of the four, putting a £3200 gap between it

and the next cheapest, the BMW. In fact, the Volvo works out the cheapest over three years for cash buyers. It might lose value more quickly than the other three, but its huge discounts – together with its strong performance in our real-world True MPG tests – help make it between £2343 and £5067 cheaper than the others.

The Lexus makes most sense on a PCP deal. Based on a 36-month agreement, with a £5000 deposit, limited to 15,000 miles a year, the NX will set you

back £471 a month. That’s £17 a month less than the Volvo, £24 less than the BMW and £70 cheaper than the Land Rover – assuming you hand back the car after three years.

The Lexus is cheapest for company car drivers, too; 40% taxpayers will have to sacrifice between £580 and £3700 less of their salary than if they go for the NX instead of one of the other contenders. The Land Rover is the most expensive company car because of its relatively high CO2 emissions. �

Once again, the BMW X3 emergesvictorious – and the truth is itsdominance among sub-£50kSUVs was never threatened.

It’s still easily the best of itsilk to drive, but it’s the X3’sstaggering all-round abilitythat makes it so hard to beat– something that’s highlightedby the fact it scored above-average marks in every area.

The new Discovery Sportcomes closest to shaking up thepecking order. It’s the onlypremium SUV at this price withseven seats, and it’s surprisingly

practical in other respects,thanks to its flexible middle-rowof seats and well-shaped boot.

Sadly, the Land Rover isn’tnearly as good to drive as itsGerman rival, and despite beingmore expensive to buy, it comeswith less standard kit. Yes, it goessome way towards making up forthis with its strong resale values,but a high CO2 output anddisappointing real-world fueleconomy count against it.

Big discounts help make theXC60 the cheapest of the four toown. As with most Volvos, it’s

incredibly safe, and it’s also thequietest motorway cruiser here.So, in spite of its age, it’s stilldefinitely worth a look if youdon’t have any need for four-wheel drive.

The Lexus is much harder torecommend. Our biggestcriticism centres around itsuncomfortable ride, but it’s alsothe smallest inside and the leastrefined. Incredibly cheapcompany car tax bills go someway towards saving its blushes,but as a private buy the NXmakes very little sense.

To find out if Skoda has beensuccessful in its bid, we’re pittingthe new Fabia against the mightyVolkswagen Polo – the currentclass leader and a car that’s onlyrecently been revised. It shouldbe a tough fight, because thetwo cars share many of the samenuts and bolts.

Our third contender is thelatest Vauxhall Corsa. It lost outto the the Polo last month in1.0-litre turbo guise, but here itgets a second chance as a morepowerful (and confusingly muchcheaper) 1.4 turbo.{

Triple test

What are they like to drive?Don’t be fooled by their small engines – all three are just as capable of keeping up with traffic on the motorway and hacking along fast A-roads as they are nipping through town traffic.

Ultimately, though, the Corsa has more power and torque than its rivals’, so pulls harder from low revs and is ultimately the quickest of the three when you put your foot down and accelerate through the gears.

Even so, the Polo and Fabia – which both use the same 1.2-litre turbo engine – aren’t far behind. Both pick up speed eagerly from around 1400rpm, meaning youdon’t need to work them hard tomake swift progress.

The Polo and Fabia’s enginesare also more refined. They aren’tas coarse when revved, andtransmit less vibration throughinto the cabin. These two carsalso benefit from having lightand precise gearshifts, whereasthe Corsa’s isn’t as slick and hasa vague-feeling clutch.

Handling is another areawhere the Corsa falls behind. Itsbody isn’t as well controlled asits rivals’ through bends, and itsfront tyres surrender their gripearlier. Meanwhile, the Fabiaremains the flattest throughcorners and its steering feels themost naturally weighted, givingyou a good sense of connectionwith the front wheels. The Polo’ssteering equals the Fabia’s foraccuracy, but its body isn’t quiteas well behaved.

The Corsa isn’t exactly fun,then, but it does have the mostcomfortable ride. From speedbumps to broken surfaces, theVauxhall leaves it all outside,although the trade-off is morebody bounce along faster,undulating roads.

By contrast, the Skoda and VWstruggle to settle over scarredroads in town. Ultimately, theFabia is the least comfortable inthese situations, and its noisysuspension only serves to makematters worse.

The Corsa is the quietestin town, but accelerate up to70mph speeds and the noiseof its engine and the windwhipping around its mirrorsdisturb the peace. Ultimately,it’s the Polo that’s best atkeeping things hushed ata steady 70mph.

INFOTAINMENT

Skoda Fabia vs Vauxhall Corsa vs Volkswagen Polo

Skoda’s plastics feel

cheaper than the Polo’s,

especially lower down on

its dash and on its doors

The Polo has the best-

quality cabin. Its dash

plastics put many cars from

the class above to shame

Air-conditioning controls

are simple dials, but they

feel cheap next to the Fabia

and Polo’s

It’s easy to get comfortable;

both the steering wheel

and driver’s seat has plenty

of adjustment

While the Polo’s seats are

perfectly comfortable, the

bases are flat, and there isn’t

enough lateral support

Push the dash-mounted

City button and the steering

becomes lighter to make

parking that bit easier

Skoda Fabia

1.2 TSI 90 SE

SE trim gets you a superb

6.5-inch touch-screen, which

features super-sharp graphics.

It’s responsive, and pairing

your phone is easy, but the

standard Mirrorlink system is

disappointing. It lets you mirror

your phone’s display, but isn’t

very user-friendly.

Vauxhall Corsa

1.4T SRi 5dr

The Corsa’s 7.0-inch touch-

screen is big and bright, but

the Intellilink system becomes

frustratingly slow when you pair

up your mobile phone –

something you have to do to

make use of many of the car’s

features – including sat-nav.

What are they like inside?Tall adults will find plenty of room in the front of all of these cars, but it’s the Fabia that stands out by offering the most leg- and headroom.

It’s the same story in the back; tall folk will find their knees pressed against the front seats in all three, but the Fabia offers the most rear legroom and its rear seats are the easiest to get into and out of.

The Skoda’s dominance continues in the boot, where officially it has 45 litres more space than the Corsa, and 50 litres more than the Polo. Its boot is roughly the same width and depth as its rivals’, but is quite a bit longer.

It’s possible to split the rear seatbacks 60:40 in all three cars and fold them down to open up more luggage space. However, neither the Fabia nor the Corsa has the option of an adjustable boot floor, so there’s an annoying step to negotiate when sliding in long items. The Polo does get an adjustable boot floor as standard, so there’s no step and no lip to worry about at the entrance.

Drivers get a good view of the road ahead in all three cars; each has tall windows with thin pillars, and a large rear screen. All three offer a wide range of steering wheel adjustment, too, along with height adjustment for the driver’s seat.

However, the quality of the three cabins varies. The Polo leads the way, with dense, soft-touch plastics on its dash and doors and more substantial switchgear. The Fabia and Corsa look the part, but their textured dashboards and door plastics feel harder and more brittle.{

BEST DRIVING POSITION

Volkswagen Polo

1.2 TSI 90 SE 5dr

SE trim gets you the same

brilliant 6.5-inch touch-screen

as the Fabia, with the same great

Skoda Fabia vs Vauxhall Corsavs Volkswagen Polo

Triple test

What will they cost?The majority of small cars are bought on PCP finance, and it’s here the Skoda really shines. Based on a 36-month deal, with a £2000 deposit and with a 10,000 annual mileage limit, the Fabia will cost you £179 a month – £12 less than the Polo and £29 less than the Corsa. That’s despite the fact that VW contributes more towards your deposit (£1000 vs £500) than Skoda.

Company car drivers will also favour the Fabia. The Skoda’s attractive list price and competitive CO2 emissions mean it qualifies for lower Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax bills than its rivals. The VW is only marginally more expensive here, but the Corsa’s relatively high CO2 emissions means it’s the priciest company car by a margin.

Meanwhile, the Polo is the cheapest option for cash buyers. Assuming you buy now and sell after three years, it’ll cost you some £420 less than the Corsa This is partly because the VW is available with bigger discounts than the Skoda, but also because it’s predicted to depreciate at a slower rate than both of its rivals.

All of these cars come with alloy wheels, air-conditioning, electric front windows, a DAB radio, Bluetooth, and USB and aux-in connections. The Polo also comes with electric rear windows, although the Corsa is unique in getting automatic headlights and wipers. Only the Fabia misses out on a standard multi-function steering wheel and cruise control, but Skoda (like Volkswagen) offers two ‘free’ paint choices (white and blue), where Vauxhall offers just the one – red.

All three come with a tyre-pressure monitoring system but, disappointingly, the Polo misses out on curtain airbags. The Fabia impresses most with its standard automatic emergency braking system. {

Skoda Fabia vs Vauxhall Corsa vs Volkswagen Polo

IT WAS ALWAYS going to take a superb small car to beat the Volkswagen Polo, but Skoda has managed it with the all-new Fabia. It was an extremely closely run thing, but ultimately the Skoda proves itself the more rounded car.

Few small cars have such spacious interiors, and the Skoda’s boot stands out as being one of the biggest in the class, too. True, the Fabia might not have the Polo’s upmarket cabin, but it does have the same fantastic infotainment system,

which is one of the best fitted toany car in this class. It’s also morefun to drive than its Germanrival, and comes with morestandard safety kit.

The Polo is runner-up, then– but only just. Its classy andsoft-touch interior puts those ofits rivals to shame, and it sharesthe Fabia’s punchy engine, sofeels every bit as nippy aroundtown. It’s also the quietest on themotorway, and its strong resalevalues make it the cheapest ofthe three for private buyers whodon’t need to take out finance.

The latest Corsa is a muchbetter car than the one itreplaces, but still has to settlefor third place. It offers moreperformance than both of itsrivals, and is the mostcomfortable of the these carsaround town, too. It also comeswith plenty of standard kit.

In the end, though, itscheaper-feeling cabin andinferior handling count againstit, as does the fact that it fails tostack up financially againstthis competition, no matterhow you buy it.

Skoda Octavia

1.6 TDI Greenline III SE B’ness

List price £20,150


The greenest Octavia you

can buy is well equipped in

SE Business trim.

NISSAN HAS BEEN out of the family car running for several years, and although its new Pulsar narrowly lost out to key petrol rivals last month, this diesel version has all the ingredients to be an excellent company car.

Low emissions, decent performance and masses of interior space are backed up by a generous standard equipment list that includes sat-nav and climate control.

However, it has to get past one major obstacle in the form of the class-leading Skoda Octavia. In Greenline III SE Business trim, it’s

stunning value, and even more efficient than the Pulsar.

What are they like to drive?Just a few years ago, the idea of a standard family hatchback with a claimed fuel economy pushing 80mpg would have conjured up images of dustbin-lid style plastic wheel trims, a spartan interior and underpowered, rattly diesel engines.

Fast forward to 2014, though, and the new Nissan Pulsar manages that with no special tweaks or eco tyres. It looks (and drives) like a regular model, despite its CO2 output of 94g/km.

True, its 1.5-litre diesel engine has quite a narrow powerband, so you need to keep the motor spinning between 1800 and 3000rpm to ensure brisk progress. However, the six-speed manual gearbox has a light, smooth action, so this is no hardship. Stray too far up the rev range, and the engine becomes noisy and strained, but at lowerrevs it’s pretty quiet.

By contrast, the 1.6-litre engine in the Skoda requires no careful balancing acts. It feels stronger and more flexible at low revs, with peak torque arriving at just 1500rpm. So, despite its longer gearing (unique to Greenline versions) the Octavia was quicker in all of our in-gear test flexibility tests, and recorded a faster 0-60mph time. In fact, it’s only at very low speeds that the Skoda’s long gear ratios become an issue, because they force you to swap between first and second gear, or slip the clutch to avoid theengine labouring.

However, the Greenline is more compromised in other respects. For instance, it has lower suspension than other models in the Octavia range, andit’s also fitted with low-rolling-resistance tyres to help improve its fuel economy. The lowered suspension spoils the low-speed ride, so on scruffier roads you’ll be much more aware of cracks and imperfections in the Greenline than in the Pulsar.

The Skoda’s eco tyres also caused issues, because in the wet conditions we conducted our tests in, the Skoda took longer to brake from 70mph, and ran out of grip much sooner in corners than its rival. Its front tyreswashed wide of our chosen linethrough a corner even atmoderate speeds.

Meanwhile, the Pulsar hasgood body control, and safe,predictable handling, but is letdown by its steering, which hasa strong self-centring action thatfeels quite unnatural. Still, on themotorway it just edges the Skodafor refinement, as it does a betterjob of suppressing wind and roadnoise. There’s also far lesssuspension noise at low speedsin the Nissan.

Pulsar can carry lots of bags but the big boot doesn’t have a variable

height floor; front seats don’t offer enough lower back and leg support

Masses of rear legroom mean even tall adults will be comfortable in the

back; driver’s information screen is bright and easy to navigate

because it’s not hindered by its efficiency tweaks) the tables are turned once you step inside.

The Octavia really sets the class standard for comfort. It takes just seconds to find the right position behind the wheel, the thickly bolstered seats hold you firmly in place, while adjustable lumbar support comes as standard. True, the Skoda isn’t as generously equipped as the Nissan, but it still gets all the essentials, with sat-nav, rear parking sensors, climate control, voice control and DAB digital radio.

There are some nice touches too, with deep, flock-lined door bins, smarter materialsthroughout, and nicely damped switches that feel really solid.

If you go for the lavishly equipped Pulsar N-tec version you get gadgets such as a 5.8-inch touch-screen, a reversing camera, keyless entry and start, and sat-nav. It certainly feelshigh-tech, and the 5.0-inch colour screen that sits between the dials puts the monochrome display in the Octavia to shame.

Yet none of these goodies can distract you from the hard plastics that cover most of the dashboard, or the thin, unsupportive seats that are uncomfortable and don’t have (and aren’t available with) adjustable lumbar support.

That’s a shame, because there’s plenty of space and adjustment to allow drivers of all shapes and sizes to find the right driving position, even though the pedals are offset a little too far to the right. The upright driving position gives decent all-round visibility, though.

The Octavia is also difficult to fault when it comes to roominess and practicality. The sheer space in the boot means the Skoda can happily double as a family holdall as well as a daily commuter. It will easily swallow a weekend’s worth of stuff with the seats folded down flat – bikes and buggies included.

While the Pulsar comes admirably close, helped by its wide boot opening, its load bay is not that clever. Its biggest failing is that the rear seats leave a big step when folded down.

It does eclipse the Octavia when it comes to the amount of space in the rear seats, though. A flat floor means there’s more room for three across the rear bench, and the amount of legroom on offer would shame some luxury limos, let alone family hatchbacks.

What will they cost?Number crunching and company car ownership usually go hand-in-hand, and no matter which way you look at the figures, the Skoda is the cheaper.

For fleet buyers, for example, the Octavia costs £144 less to lease every year, and also has slightly cheaper company car tax rates thanks to its lower overall list price – even though its lower CO2 emissions don’t actually qualify it for a cheaper Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax bills.

A lower list price, bigger discounts and stronger resale values all help make the Skoda the cheaper option for anyone considering either of these cars as a private buy, too. Factor all the costs you’re likely to face

In some respects the Pulsar feels less compromised by its low-emissions mantra. It grips and rides better than the Skoda, and isalso more refined. It also comes very well equipped, although theOctavia, in SE Business trim, is also packed with luxuries.

In fact, the Skoda is such a brilliant all-rounder that its familiarmix of practicality, keen value, a high-quality interior and lowrunning costs make it the worthy winner.

during the first three years and the Octavia works out the cheaper option by a hefty £4000.

Servicing costs work in the Skoda’s favour too, with cheaper fixed-price maintenance, while replacing consumables such as the tyres will also be a lot less painful for your wallet in the Octavia than the Pulsar.

Perhaps the deciding factor for anyone covering a high number

of miles annually will be the fuel economy, and it’s the Skoda that excels. Our real-world True MPG tests found the Octavia was more than 7mpg more economical, with more than 60mpg attainable in normal driving.

However, the Nissan is in a lower insurance group thanks to safety features such as blind spot-monitoring and automatic city braking.

Face-lift brings subtle styling

tweaks and cleaner engines

for VW’s coupé.

LOOKS CAN ONLY get you so farin any walk of life. In theVolkswagen Scirocco’s case, itssleek styling seems to have stoodthe test of time, only now gettinga face-lift six years after itslaunch. This refresh bringsrefreshed looks, cleaner, morefrugal engines, and a revampedinterior, but is it enough to fendoff newer rivals?

For around £750 less than theentry-level Scirocco we’re testing you can have Seat’s sleek Leon SC. Not just any Leon SC, either, because for that money it’s possible to buy the sporty, well-equipped FR model,

complete with a more powerful engine and the latest cylindershut-off technology.

What are they like to drive?Both cars are fitted with the same basic 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox, but the Leon has an extra 25bhp and 36lb ft of torque, as well as that cylinder-shut-off tech.

Both engines pull hard when their turbos wake up at around 1400rpm, helping them to feel urgent from low revs around town, and both deliver their power cleanly. However, the Seat’s extra grunt means it’s

considerably the quicker when you put your foot down.

The Leon’s engine flicks between two- and four-cylinder mode to save fuel depending on speed, revs and throttle input, but a light on the dashboard is the only way you’ll know when this is happening – there’s no noticeable change in noise or vibration. It’s very impressive.

In fact, the Leon is the more refined car full stop, with its slicker gearchange and smoother, quieter engine. Road noise is more of an issue in the Scirocco, too, especially on coarse surfaces, although both cars suffer from wind noise at motorway speeds.

The Seat also has the edge when it comes to handling. Its steering is more accurate and feels more natural, and its front tyres grip harder through tight corners, where it manages to keep its body flatter than the Scirocco’s. That said the Scirocco doesn’t disgrace itself, feelingagile and secure.

FR-spec Leons come with lower, stiffer sports suspension than other models in the range, helping to combat body lean, butalso making the ride firmer than that of lesser versions. That said, it’s perfectly acceptable, and never becomes too harsh or crashy, whether in town or on the motorway. The Scirocco, meanwhile, is less impressive because it never manages to settle over scrappy surfaces and constantly jostles its passengers on faster roads.

What are they like inside?Although tall adults are unlikely to complain about the amountof space up front in either car,the Leon has more head-, leg-and shoulder-room.

The Leon’s boot is bigger and more practical than the Scirocco’s; the FR

also has more than enough head- and legroom up front for tall adults

Leon has more rear space for passengers to get comfortable, although

the VW offers better access; Seat’s touch-screen is the slicker of the two

The Scirocco’s boot is nearly 70 litres smaller in outright capacity and isn’t as wide or as long as the Leon’s. What’s more, its aperture is much narrower, making it even more awkward to slot bulky luggage inside.

Both cars’ dashboards are logical and clearly laid out, and feature a touch-screen flanked by chunky shortcut buttons. Neither is the most responsive system we’ve tried, but the Seat’s is the slicker, with crisper graphics and slightly more user-friendly menus.

That said, being the newer-generation of VW Group’s infotainment, the Leon’s system includes a feature that ‘wakes-up’ menus as your finger nears the screen, displaying more options. In theory, this keeps the screen clear of confusing buttons, but it takes a while to learn to avoid accidentally hitting the icons as they appear.

The Scirocco’s dashboard hasn’t changed much over the past six years, but it’s well constructed from solid plastics, so has an appealing sturdiness. The Leon’s dash looks more modern, and the cabin materials feel just as classy as the VW’s.

Both cars come with alloy wheels, air-conditioning, electric front windows, a DAB radio, Bluetooth and a USB socket.

The Leon’s list goes on: it gets a more advanced climate control system, along with cruise control and front and rear parking sensors. Seat is also offering its Technology pack free of charge on Leon FR models, which adds LED headlights and sat-nav until at least the end of 2014.

Six airbags, tyre-pressure monitoring, an alarm and an immobiliser are also standard on both cars, although only Seat offers emergency city braking as an option (£505).

Thatcham security tests found the cars did equally well when resisting break-ins and theft, with both scoring above-average marks.

What will they cost?The Scirocco is around £750 more expensive to start with, but you can expect a discount on both cars. After these are applied, the gap narrows, but the VW still costs some £530 more to buy.

Buying on a PCP deal doesn’t change things. Based on a three-year agreement, with a £3000 deposit, limited to 10,000 miles a year, the Scirocco will set you back £36 more every month. True, Volkswagen will offer you a bigger deposit contribution to begin with (£1500 versus Seat’s £1000) but you’ll still save nearly £800 over three years by going for the Seat – assuming you hand the car back at the end of the term, rather than paying the outstanding balloon payment.

Private buyers will like the fact that both cars are predicted to hold on to their value well over the first three years, although the VW’s badge helps it hold on to a higher percentage of its original value.

Insurance and servicing costs are comparable, but because the Scirocco’s engine emits more CO2, the VW is more expensive to tax.

The Scirocco might still have the looks, but the coupé classhas moved on a long way since it was launched all thoseyears ago. It remains decent to drive, but its refinement isdisappointing and its cabin and infotainment system remaindecidedly old-school.

The Leon is more practical, faster, sharper to drive and comesloaded with equipment, yet it costs less to buy. Considering it’salso cheaper in the long run for every type of buyer, and morecomfortable, it thoroughly deserves the win.

The Scirocco’s higher CO2

output is also bad news for company car drivers, because it attracts a higher rate of Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax than the Leon. In fact, over three years the VW will cost a 40% tax payer around £1100 more.

ability to save fuel by running on two cylinders when cruising, it was only marginally more fuel-efficient than the Scirocco in real-world driving, managing 43.1mpg compared with the Scirocco’s 42.5mpg. Still, that’s not bad when you consider the Leon is quite a bit more powerful than the Volkswagen.

DACIA IS ON a bit of a roll inthe UK. The budget brand hasalready shifted more than25,000 cars here, and its salesfigures for September were upmore than 27% on the sameperiod in 2013. It’s done thisthrough some amazingly lowprices, a simple ‘no-haggle’ salespolicy that takes the barteringout of negotiations with thesalesman, and a focus on

practicality. Dacias are all aboutfunction, not frills.

You only have to look at themodel line-up to see that, really.At the bottom there’s theFiesta-sized Sandero, whichoffers more space than most ofits small car rivals. At the topthere’s the Duster, which feelsbig enough and durable enoughto cope with a family’s needs.

In the middle (kind of) there’sthe Logan MCV – and it’s thisoffering that I’ll be running forthe next year. It’s a five-doorestate with the sort of cargocapacity that used to be reservedfor large Volvos. With the rear

but most buyers go for at least the middle trim level. Many, in fact, go the whole hog and buy the range-toppers, because they’re still less expensive than any conventional rivals, yet are loaded with kit.

That’s what we’ve done, in fact, because our Logan MCV is a Laureate. That means it gets alloy wheels, body-coloured door handles, electrically adjustable side mirrors, tinted windows, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, air-conditioning, a trip computer and a stereo with CD player, USB socket and Bluetooth connectivity.

It’s not as if you can go silly on the options list, either. We’ve gone for a fetching Cinder Red paint, which costs £495, andadded rear parking sensorsat £250 and the Media Navtouch-screen navigationsystem for £300.

Only three engines areavailable in the Logan: a 0.9-litrethree-cylinder turbochargedpetrol, a 1.2-litre normallyaspirated petrol (this is thecheapest of the three) anda 1.5-litre diesel. Given that theMCV could well see plenty ofuse as a carry-all load-lugger,we’ve elected to go for the extralow-down shove of the diesel.

This choice makes the Loganrelatively expensive by Daciastandards, but it still has thewhiff of a bargain about it. Our

fully loaded small estate, complete with those options and a turbodiesel engine that emits just 99g/km of CO2, costs £11,840. That’s around £4200 less than what you’ll pay for a diesel-engined Seat Ibiza estate.

First impressions? There’s no doubt that the cabin is a bit more rough-and-ready than that of my previous long-termer, our much-loved Suzuki S-Cross. However, there’s no denying the practicality on offer here – and the boot does feel like it’ll be easy to wipe down when our children throw in muddy wellington boots and jackets over the winter.

In fact, the Logan MCV’s low cost and no-frills attitude could make it an interesting left-field choice as a small family car that you don’t have to care too much about. I’m looking forward to putting that theory to the test over the next 12 months.

The eagle-eyed among you will

have spotted that we’ve been

quoting Match trim next to the

Golf’s list price for the past

couple of issues. That’s

because my car’s SE trim is

being superseded by Match.

I say ‘being’, because we

expected this to happen some

time ago, but at the time of

writing SE is still showing on

Volkswagen’s website.

It doesn’t really matter,

because no one in their right

mind would buy a new Golf in

SE trim if you could find one.

You see Match trim (as shown

on the car to the right, above)

adds more goodies for the

same price. You get front and

rear parking sensors, front

foglights, 16-inch Dover alloy

wheels and a mirror pack,

which consists of automatically

folding door mirrors with

puddle lights and reverse-

activated dipping for the

nearside mirror.

It just so happens that when

we were speccing our Golf we

added all of the above except

the Dover wheels (which

weren’t available then) and the

foglights. If we had added all

of the extra kit it would have

bumped up the price of our car

by around £800, so you can

see why Match makes sense.

UNTIL RECENTLY I’D driven our long-term Lexus on only short, two-mile commutes in mainly dense traffic, so a return trip from London to Bristol for a friend’s birthday allowed me to stretch the IS300h’s legs and really get under its skin.

I’ve always liked the soothing nature of the Lexus in town when it’s in full EV mode at low speeds. However the harshness of the 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine became clear as I hit the motorway. Even under just half-throttle acceleration, the CVT gearbox would make the engine rev too hard for my liking.

At least the seats were comfortable on the motorway, which helped to counteract the F Sport’s overly firm ride, and I arrived in Bristol feeling refreshed and alert.

The next day I headed in to the city. The Lexus is not a small car; crawling through the entrance of a multi-storey car park, with threatening foot-high kerbs either side was a particularly sweaty affair. However, for all its size the boot – while being capacious – has a deceptively narrow opening. As the picture here shows, to a friend’s frustration a modest

Lexus IS300h F Sportpiece of furniture proved too much despite the boot being large enough to take it.

Still, there’s no denying that the IS has presence in abundance. All weekend the car was turning heads among a sea of BMWs and Audis. Variety is the spice of life after all, right?

The 1.4 TFSI might be a better company car, but our car still impresses

Audi A3 Saloon 2.0 TDI 150 Sport

I RECENTLY TOOK the A3 in to central London for an overnight trip, which the Audi was perfect for. In last month’s update database editor Mark reckoned that the sat-nav took him on some strange detours while on holiday, but I found it guided me perfectly through the bedlam of the capital’s roads.

The A3 is such a relaxing car to drive, mostly thanks to pedals that are light and easy to modulate. The compact body also makes it perfect for squeezing into tight underground car parks.

I do, however, agree with Mark that the 2.0 TDI engine is a bit gruff at low speeds; I couldn’t help but think of the sweet-revving, quiet and reasonably economical (if not as frugal as the diesel) 148bhp 1.4 petrol engine that you can

now get in the A3. It’s certainly what I’d go for if it were my money, and it’s actually the cheaper option for company car users.

Other than that, the A3 proved to be an effortless car for all those menial chores that are involved in daily life. I did notice that the economy dropped a fair bit from the circa-56mpg that road test editor

Will Nightingale managed on his epic European trip. However, given that I spent my week off mostly at home, using the A3 for short urban trips to get DIY supplies or do the food shopping, the fact that it was still doing around 49mpg is actually mighty impressive.

Cars such as the Citroën Grand

good enough on the sort of

that seems to suit me.

fine, but second gear can be

a bit sticky to engage. This can

make the Citroën a bit of a pain

around town and in heavy

THE MAZDA 3 has had some mixed reports from various team members recently, but it’s definitely happier nipping around town than anywhere else.

I usually find a drive into central London is enough to amplify the good and bad of any car. Good car characteristics are amplified, seeming better than ever, while niggles will irritate like never before when nudging along on clogged, broken roads into the heart of the capital.

I won’t resort to talking about the compromised rear visibility and lack of parking sensors, suffice to say that parking in murky West End car parks is as much fun as it sounds.

Ultimately though, if you have to spend time sitting in traffic or being re-routed around traffic blackspots and diving down little side roads, the Mazda

is a pretty good way to do it. It is comfortable and quiet around town and very easy to place on the road. In fact it is generally a very easy car to drive, with light controls, good forward visibility and enough urgency off the mark to go toe-to-toe with London’s legions of cabs, buses and cyclists with confidence. The infotainment provision, once you have mastered its

Mazda 3 2.0 120 SE Navoccasional foibles, is easy to see and to use, too.

Our spells of central London cut and thrust seem not to have damaged economy, either. The Mazda is delivering a rock-steady 40.2mpg, regardless of the use we put it to, which for a 2.0-litre petrol hatch is not bad at all.

It’s no city car, but the Mazda is perfectly at home on London’s streets

The pure electric i3 is fractionally faster than the range-extender i3

BMW i3 REx

BMW SENT US over a regular ‘pure electric’ i3 the other day, just to allow us to compare it with our range-extender version.

In day-to-day driving there’s not really much to split the two cars. The purely electric edition gets the same batteries and motor as the range-extender; it’s just a little bit lighter because it doesn’t carry any fuel or the 600cc two-cylinder engine. That translates into slightly quicker acceleration times.

The all-electric version also has a slightly longer range on its batteries but since there’s no fallback, I reckon I’d be looking for a charging point in the pure EV some time before I was doing the same in our range-extender.

In fact, that sums up the fundamental difference between the two i3s. Put simply, you need

to be very sure of your daily commute and how far you’re ever likely to need to go beyond it before you’d choose the pure EV.

That’s not to say we’ve been shoving a tankful of fuel per day into our range-extender; in fact it’s gone more than a month between visits to the filling station on some occasions.

There’s a price premium to take into consideration, of

course; you pay about £3000 more for the range-extender edition. However, given that most i3s are leased, it’s really only a few pounds extra every month. That seems a reasonable price to pay for the peace of mind that the fuel tank and two-cylinder motor can bring.

but more of a ‘it’s really good at what it does’ kind of way. He also said that it’s refined, comfortable and easy to drive, all of which make it a great city car. I’ll chalk that up as a win. The only negative was that his mother thought it was a used car. Perhaps it’s time the i10 visited the car wash.

In other news, now that my commute home is spent in the

Hyundai i10 1.2 SEdark, I’ve been impressed by a little button on the dashboard with an image of a crescent moon on it. When you press it, the display of the radio dims to reduce glare when driving at night. I know other cars have it, but it’s a really neat feature that shows attention to detail.

Quiet, comfortable, and easy to drive: the i10 is a very good city car

COMPLIMENTS HAVE BEEN paid to the Hyundai i10 from lots of people this month. The first came from a friend of mine when I gave him a lift across town. He said he’d never been in such a quiet car. In fact, when we stopped at traffic lights he asked me how I was getting on with the engine stop-start technology. I said that the i10 didn’t have it fitted – he couldn’t believe that the engine was almost silent when idling.

The second compliment came from What Car?’s digital editor, Nigel Donnelly, when we swapped cars for the weekend. I had a go in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and he took the i10 for a couple of days.

He came back to the office saying he’d enjoyed driving the little Hyundai. Not in a ‘wow, that was amazing’ kind of way,

The water isn’t a problem now, but that may change after a few years

Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI 150 SE

OUR TIME WITH the Octavia is nearly up, so naturally the car has just started to misbehave.

You see, there’s a loud rattle from the numberplate whenever I close the tailgate. The middle of the numberplate is securely attached, but the ends are simply stuck with a couple of adhesive strips; these have lost their stickiness over time, so the edges of the numberplate are free to reverberate against the metal. I’m sure this’ll be easy to fix with some more strips, but surely owners shouldn’t have to do this, especially after just 11 months?

Door seals that keep water in could be more of an issue long-term, however. There’s nothing wrong with my car, it’s just that when it rains, the water collects in the tiny gap between the bottom of the front doors and the sills. There it merrily

stays until the door is opened, at which point it runs out onto the ground (or my shoes, if I’m standing particularly close to the door opening).

The seals look fine, and I’ve heard of a few Octavia owners who have experienced the same issue, so it appears to be a design quirk of the car. Oddly enough, it doesn’t happen to the rear doors.

It doesn’t bother me too much (no water makes its way into the cabin, after all), but I do worry what the effect of that water will be. Put it this way, if I were buying a used Octavia in a few years, I’d certainly take a good look at the sills for signs of corrosion.

THE PEUGEOT 308 has a bit of a poor reputation for back seat space. The tape measure doesn’t lie; legroom in both the hatch and estate trails that of most rivals, and for adult passengers that can be a real issue.

However, I’m here to make the case that it doesn’t have to be a significant issue. If you don’t carry adult passengers in the back of your car often (and, frankly, how many people do?) then this is a problem that ends up going away.

My kids are seven and five. The taller (pictured) is about 4ft 5in tall, and even sitting behind my lanky 6ft 3in frame, he still has legroom to spare. I know this because, like most kids his age, he’s prone to a good moan. Yet, now with a couple of thousand miles under our belts, he has yet to pick up on this issue.

He and his sister love the full-length £500 glass panoramic roof. No question, for adults even slightly above average height, its depth impinges on headroom. For kids, though, it’s a delight, lending the cabin an extra airiness and allowing them to count stars, planes or anything else that might be passing.

There’s a knock-on benefit, too. The 308 SW’s boot is longer and

Peugeot 308 SW 1.2 PureTech 130 Activewider than most, including the class-leading Skoda Octavia’s. There are also levers in the boot to drop the 60/40 split rear seats flat, while sliding, removable magnetic clamps and a strap allow you to partition the boot. All in, it’s proving to be a cutting edge family load-lugger.

Rear legroom trails that of rivals, but this passenger has no qualms

The gap is an annoyance, but the dual-height boot floor is handy

Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi Mixx automatic

I’VE WARMED TO the Kia Soul in the past few weeks, in particular its dual-height boot floor, which I find handy.

I’ve used it a few times recently when lugging camera kit about. However, I’ve noticed that when the dual floor is in the lower position there is an unmistakable one-inch gap between the leading edge of the floor and the rear hatch, which I wouldn’t expect, even from a non-premium car brand. The gap is proving a bit of a pain, because it invites anything small to fall through the gap – batteries and memory cards especially.

In order to retrieve them I have to remove anything that’s sitting on the floor (usually heavy cases) and then lift it before retrieving whatever fell through. It’s quite possibly the worst-designed dual boot floor I’ve ever used.

It’s also awkward to fit, because you need to fold the floor in half in order to squeeze it through the slots on the boot sides. Even the great Houdini would have needed a few goes at it.

When the floor is fitted in the upper position, there’s still a reasonable amount of storage space available, but the boot struggles to swallow all the equipment I need to carry for my

job. A family with a labrador would certainly find life difficult with this boot arrangement.

Despite this problem, I’m continuing to get along nicely with the Kia Soul’s other storage compartments and its simple sat-nav and infotainment menus.

AFTER A FRUSTRATING couple of months spent simply commuting in the Cupra, I finally got a chance to head away from the confines of the city, with a trip to the Lake District adding more than 700 miles to the odometer.

Before getting to the beautiful, secluded roads in Cumbria, though, a few hundred miles of motorway stood between my home in the South East and our holiday destination.

You have every right to expect a modern hatchback to cope with long distances without reducing you to an aching, rattled mess, but the stiff suspension fitted as standard to the Cupra 280 had me worried. Put it this way, a short commute home and back in a powerful coupé recently had me cursing its seats and dreading the next speed bump.

I needn’t have worried; I arrived in the North free of aches and pains. The Cupra’s ride might be slightly firm over really bad road surfaces at lower speeds, but there were no issues with the motorway’s less-than perfect finish.

In fact, my mood improved significantly when we turned on to the sweeping country roads north of Bolton. It was only the

Seat Leon Cupra 280two bikes, my girlfriend and the rest of the luggage in the back that stopped me from making more of that part of the drive.

I did eventually get to appreciate the other side of the Cupra’s personality, once all the unpacking had been done.

Once a rare sight, the PHEV is now a fairly common thing on UK roads

Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 PHEV GX4hs

MITSUBISHI IS DELIGHTED withthe way that the plug-in hybridOutlander is selling, due in nosmall part to the fact that itssuper-low BIK rates make it suchan attractive company car.

Being a plug-in hybridemitting just 44g/km of CO2

means it is zero-rated for VED and is taxed at 5% for company car users. Compared with the similarly specced Outlander diesel, that represents an annual saving of more than £2100 for 40% tax payers. It’s little wonder that so many are finding homes.

Its certainly the case that there are a lot of them about. I’ve seen loads of PHEVs, and have even been waved at by a fellow driver in a twin of my car, right down to the handsome Glacier Blue paint.

In truth, the PHEV is a bit of a non-event because it is very easy

to drive and very easy to live with. There are few driving behaviours that you need to amend in order to get on with the Outlander, with the exception of the act of plugging it in. Even this is not an absolute requirement, although to have even a ghost of a chance of emulating the triple-digit official economy figure, you’ll need to hook-up regularly.

By the time of my next update, the PHEV will have had its first service; the 12,500-mile mark has just been passed and the dashboard warning tells me each time I start the car that essential maintenance is required. I’ll update you on the costs and any surprises next time.

JOE BLAIR WANTS an upgradefrom his current diesel car. It’s his third Golf but his first diesel and, while he likes the fuel economy it offers, he’s after something much more exciting.

‘It’s too boring and not sporty enough. I want something new. I’m about to finish my training in the Merchant Navy and I’ll finally be able to buy a car that I really want,’ Joe said.

‘I want to go back to petrol power and I’m ideally after something fast that I can look forward to driving.’

Joe has set his sights on a hothatch. He wants a perfect blend of performance and enjoyment, but he needs something that can cope with everyday life.

‘This will be my only car, so as much as I want it to be fun, it has to be practical enough to live with.

‘I usually drive to the Continent for my holidays in the summer, so it needs to be able to cope with long distances in relative comfort. I also have a 40-mile commute every weekday, so decent fuel

economy would be a welcomeadded bonus.’

Joe has a budget of around £20,000 – possibly a little more – so our first thought was the Ford Fiesta ST. Its excellent engine and stunning handling make it a perfect hot hatch, and it has the practicality of a Fiesta.

We added the equally adept Renault Clio Renaultsport and the fast but practical Kia Procee’d GT.

All three are great hot hatches, but which one will Joe take the biggest shine to?

‘The Kia also looks amazingand it’s the most comfortableof the three,’ said Joe.

‘I also like how the interior is really focused around the driver. The infotainment system is even angled towards the driver. Some of the plastics could be a bit better, though.

The Kia was Joe’s favourite hot

hatch, thanks to its versatile

engine and practicality. Aside

from wanting a slightly better

quality interior, he could find few

faults with the Kia and thinks it

could offer him the perfect

balance between performance

and practicality.

Although Joe thought the

Fiesta ST was the most fun, he

wasn’t convinced that he’d be

able to live with the firm ride

and limited space.

The Clio was ultimately let

down by its automatic gearbox. It

here, but the driving experience

couldn’t match those offered by

‘I expected a lot from the Clio, but it just doesn’t meet my expectations,’ Joe said.

‘I’m disappointed with the build quality, particularly inside. I don’t think the seats are supportive enough, either, and the driving position is too high.

‘The hot Clio is really let down by its automatic gearbox; I don’t think it needs it. It’s not very smooth and the

steering wheel paddles feel a bit flimsy. It’s a shame because if it had a manual I would like it a lot more.

‘Also, the brake pedal is higher than the accelerator, so when you move your foot across it’s very easy to catch the sole of your shoe on the edge of the brake pedal. It’s happened while I’ve been driving, and it’s something that would be annoying to live with.

‘The sound it makes is great, though. Of the three, it sounds the best and it’s the quickest. The brakes are very responsive as well, but I’m after better build quality than that offered by the Clio.’

Andrew Packham

Car Volkswagen Polo

Problem Faulty EGR coolers

When a replacement car part hasa warranty of two years, youdon’t expect that warranty todepend on the circumstances inwhich it’s fitted. Unfortunately,reader Andrew Packhamdiscovered this was very muchthe case when his VolkswagenPolo’s engine was fitted witha new EGR cooler.

because I had made no financialcontribution towards the firstEGR replacement, it was notcovered by any warranty and Iwould therefore have to pay forthe new repair,’ Andrew said.

‘The cost was more than £1000but a goodwill gesture broughtit down to £330. I’ve paid the billto get my car back but this allmakes no sense to me. I don’t feelthat I should have to pay towardsa part that has lasted only fivemonths and just 3000 miles.’

When the cooler failed, it wasreplaced under the car’s warrantyby Volkswagen West London inChiswick. However, five monthslater the engine managementlight came on, as it had before.This time Andrew took the car toVolkswagen Twickenham, whodiagnosed a faulty EGR cooler.However, between the firstfailure and the second, the car’swarranty had expired.

Ask the expertsGot a problem? We champion your consumer rights

In fact, it’s not just within the automotive industry that a part’s warranty expires along with the overall product’s. Consumer advisor Holly McAllister from garage and dealer regulatorMotor Codes gave an example.‘Let’s say you have a mobilephone with a 12-month warrantyand it breaks down in month11. You’re provided with areplacement because it can’t berepaired. However, you are notnow going to be given another12-month warranty for free.

‘In this [Andrew’s] case, it willbe at the car maker’s discretion ifit is to pay the repair costs.’

Still, after just five months?Due to a replacement part thatwas faulty? We called VWcustomer services ourselves andthey looked into the case withmore concern this time; a reviewof the case soon elicited a callfrom VW head office.

‘We train and encourage all ourretailers to use common sense,and give high customersatisfaction,’ said an adviser.

‘We have rules, but the retailerscan make a judgement call. Wealso have the back-up of thecustomer service centre wherecustomers feel their retailer hasnot acted correctly.’

Helpdesk asked about whathappened when Andrew calledthe VW customer service centre.He had received the same advicehe’d apparently had fromVolkswagen Twickenham.

The adviser said: ‘This was anoversight, and it’s incorrect thata contribution to the repairwould have given the part atwo-year warranty. If a repair isdone under warranty then youdon’t make a contribution.

‘As a result of What Car?’sintervention we were able toreimburse Mr Packham the £330he paid to get his car repaired.’

USEFUL WEBSITES

OUR ADVICE

Having your car serviced at a main dealer needn’t be a costly choice

Service costs

Will I be wasting my money if I

service my car at a main dealer?

Mohamed Khan

What Car? says

Not necessarily. Service plans

can help lower the price, and

many franchised dealers will

consider matching the price

of a local independent if

you’ve shopped around.

Another benefit is that dealers

have access to the latest

information on vehicle

updates so these will get

done promptly if required.

Towing safely

Is it possible to tow an Audi TT

2.0-litre manual – either front

or all-wheel drive – behind a

motorhome on an A-frame,

or do I need a trailer?

Stewart Harrison

What Car? says

Legally, you can’t tow anything

on its wheels unless it is

an emergency (eg if it has

broken down) but this is not

rigorously enforced. However,

web

if you tow a car that hasn’t

broken down using an A-frame

then the law treats the

combination as a trailer, which

must comply with the

appropriate braking and

lighting regulations.

As a result, any trailer

(including its load, in this case,

a car), weighing more than

750kg needs a working

braking system.

As for the car, it is not

designed to be towed long

distances on its wheels.

Another issue is that you

can’t reverse a vehicle with

a car being towed behind it;

the front wheels would steer

one way or the other and

would not be controlled.

All told, if you want to tow

a car behind a motorhome,

you should do it on a trailer.

Long wait for part

A part that operates the

rear-seat folding mechanism on

my Ford Kuga recently failed but

my dealer says the replacement

won’t be in the country for six

weeks. Why aren’t there any

spares in the UK?

John Cook

What Car? says

Ford has confirmed that the

part in question is currently

out of stock in the UK, but says

that some dealers have

managed to source this part

from other franchises. It says

your dealer should be aware

that the customer liaison

department at Ford’s main

parts depot in Daventry

should be to help track down

an available part elsewhere

in the dealer network rather

than keep you waiting.

Record all important

conversations, and insist on

written confirmation of

offers or agreements.

Escalate a problem to the

manufacturer itself if the

dealership can’t help you.

Be prepared to compromise

if it brings you the best deal.

Used cars

THE MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS Estate has long been the car of choice for those who want vast amounts of room for passengers and their luggage in a premium-brand executive car.

Why’s it so popular?

Much of the E-Class’s appeal is due to its smooth, wafting ride and massive boot. All models get self-levelling air suspension at the rear, so you can load it up to the nines and it remains stable

man-made leather seats with electric adjustment

Boot It’s 120cm long from the door to the rear seats;

and composed, although the steering is a bit ponderous. There’s generous head- and legroom for occupants, and even without the compartment beneath the flat floor the boot has the biggest volume of any estate car on the market.

There are plenty of other practical features, including an automatically opening and closing luggage cover, and an electrically powered tailgate. Some cars will also have been

fitted with a pair of optional foldaway rear-facing child seats in the boot.

The E-Class has always come with a generous equipment list as standard. The model line-up was simplified in 2013 as part of the model face-lift, including a equipment upgrade for the lower SE trim. However, even before this, SE had everything you’d expect from a premium estate, such as heated front seats, part-electric seat adjustment, Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control and nine airbags.

Many SE cars will have been specced with the Comand system, with its bigger screen, sat-nav and DAB radio. SE trim also makes the most sense for those keen to retain the E-Class’s well-known cushioned ride, because it comes with Comfort suspension as standard.

Mid-spec Avantgarde trim, which has bigger alloys and lowered suspension, could be specced with the SE’s Comfort

Economy

Our real-world tests

of the E220 CDI auto

indicate you should

get around 43mpg

set-up at no extra cost. Avantgarde’s standard kit includes sat-nav, leather (over SE’s standard man-made leather), and adaptive headlights.

We prefer diesel power

Our engine choice is the twin-turbo four-cylinder E220 CDI with 168bhp. It’s the cheapest and most economical diesel on offer, although it can feel a little gutless. Most are fitted with the seven-speed automatic gearbox, which is smooth and progressive at normal speeds, and much better than the stiff-shifting manual. The auto’s official fuel economy of 53.3mpg with CO2 emissions at 139g/km are only a touch higher than the manual’s figures anyway.

The E250 CDI costs a bit more but economy is still good, while the E350 CDI with its 3.0 V6 diesel engine isn’t cheap to buy or run and will go through tyres faster than most other models. However it offers excellent refinement and effortless pace.

Used petrol models are few and far between. In any case, the smaller engines aren’t as refined or quick as you’d hope, while the larger E350 petrol will be very expensive to run.

Any downsides?

While the E220 CDI is our choice of engine for a used E-Class Estate, it’s not as refined as you’d hope, and all models suffer from too much road noise. The foot-operated parking brake also takes some getting used to.

‘We need a seven-seaterto ferry the family around in. What are our options?’

FOR ITS INNOVATIVE and spacious interior, we’d recommend the previous-generation seven-seat Citroën Grand C4 Picasso.

It was named our MPV of the Year two years in a row because of its spacious interior and practicality. It’s good to drive, too, with a soft ride that copes well on bumpy roads.

Go for the 1.6-litre diesel, which offers good economy and enough power, even when the Grand C4 Picasso is fully loaded.

The rear seats can slide forwards and back to maximise legroom or increase the boot space, and there are Isofix fittings in every seat across the middle row – perfect for your three child seats.

Around £12,000 can get you a previous-generation seven-seat Grand C4 Picasso from 2013 with only 17,000 miles on the clock. Seven-seat versions also hold their value better than the five-seat C4 Picasso, should you choose to sell on later. {

‘I want a comfortable, high-spec diesel estate for around £7000’

REFINED, SAFE AND GOOD to drive, the Mondeo Estate is a great value load-lugger; in fact, it’s won the What Car? Estate of the Year award no fewer than five times. It can cover motorway miles in comfort and is great to drive.

There’s loads of head- and legroom for the occupant of any seat, and the large, well-shaped boot has a massive 1685-litre capacity with the split-folding rear seats down.

We’d choose the 2.0-litre diesel engine because it delivers its power in a smooth and quiet manner. Go for Zetec trim, which adds alloy wheels, climate control and rear electric windows to the standard kit list.

With the new Mondeo Estate available to order now, prices for the older models are being driven down. For a budget of £7000, we recommend the third- generation car that first went on sale in 2007; prices for a 2008 model with 50,000 miles start at around £6000.

How to decide what car is best for you

1 REGULAR USESThe first thing you

need to decide is

what you’ll use

your car for. Think

about the type of

journeys you do

regularly and how

much space you

need for people

and luggage.

2 OCCASIONAL USESNow consider the

things you’ll need

your car to do less

often, be that acting

as pet transport,

taking a bike in the

boot or swallowing

the contents of the

local DIY store.

3 YOUR BUDGETThis is where many

buyers trip up.

Work out how much

you can afford to

spend on the car,

be that a one-off

payment or a

monthly amount.

Once you’ve got this

figure, stick to it!

4 OTHER COSTSOf course, buying the

car is one thing;

you’ll also have to

pay to run it. Make

sure you’ve got

enough left over for

fuel, insurance, tax

and servicing, plus

items such as tyres

and brakes. Working out what you can afford is crucial

How to pay for your car

1 PERSONAL LOANFew of us have

sufficient money

saved, so a personal

loan is a popular way

to buy a car. It’s best

if you want to own

the car outright and

don’t have a deposit

for a finance deal.

2 HIRE PURCHASEYou pay a deposit

followed by

fixed monthly

instalments. You

don’t own the car

until the final

payment has been

made, but the credit

is secured against

the car only.

3 PERSONAL CONTRACT PURCHASEPay a deposit and

a (fairly low) monthly

amount, and at the

end of the term you

can return the car,

buy it outright for an

agreed sum, or trade

it in for a new car.

4 PERSONAL CONTRACT HIREYou pay a deposit,

then a monthly fee

to ‘rent’ the car for a

certain duration and/

or mileage. Costs are

low, but at the end of

the term you simply

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

1 ARRANGE THE TEST DRIVESCall the dealers in

advance to book

drives of the cars

you’re interested in.

Ensure you get the

correct engine and

gearbox and, if

possible, the exact

version you want.

2 CHECK THE CAR IS SUITABLEConfirm how easy it

is to fit in the sort of

cargo you normally

carry. If you’ve got

young children, for

example, take a child

seat with you. If you

carry bulky cases,

bring them, too.

3 BRING A FRIENDTo help you stay

focused on what the

car is like to drive,

bring someone with

you to keep the

salesman chatting.

They can also

comment on the car

from the passenger’s

point of view.

4 DRIVE A DECENT ROUTEMake sure your test

drive lasts for at least

30 minutes to give

you enough time to

assess the car. Drive

on a variety of roads,

but spend most time

on the type of roads

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

How to get the best price

1 LOOK UP THE TARGET PRICEWhat Car? has

a team who do

nothing but haggle.

Their Target Prices

are the most you

should pay for any

new car; the figures

are listed in the back

of this magazine.

2 CHECK WITH BROKERSSome online brokers

can beat even the

Target Price, by

doing bulk deals

with some of the

bigger dealer groups.

Check whatcar.com

for the latest offers

we’ve found.

3 GET A DISCOUNT ON THE OPTIONSRemember that the

Target Price discount

should also apply to

any optional extras

you add on. So if

you’re getting 8%

off a car’s list price,

demand 8% off any

extras, too.

4 BUY AT THE RIGHT TIMEDealers usually have

to hit monthly sales

targets, so if you

make your visit

towards the end of

the month, you’ll

almost certainly

find it easier to get

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

How to finalise the deal

1 FLAUNT YOUR KNOWLEDGETake a copy of this

magazine with you

to the showroom.

Then you’ll always

have the prices,

including the

Target Price, to

point to during

the negotiations.

2 FIX A PRICE ON THE NEW CARThe salesman will

want to include the

trade-in value of your

old car in the deal.

It’s far better if you

agree a price for the

new car separately

and then discuss

trade-in values.

3 YOU CAN WALK AWAYDon’t be afraid to

leave if you can’t

reach a deal that

you’re happy with.

Simply getting up

from your chair can

be enough to make

a dealer offer you a

slightly better price.

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

match the Target

Price, we’ll find you

one who will. Simply

call us on 0845 527

6394 and we’ll put

you in touch with

a dealer who will sell

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

Collecting your new car

1 BEFORE COLLECTIONEven if the car you’re

buying is in stock,

it’ll take the dealer

a few days to prepare

all the paperwork.

On the agreed day

of collection, call to

make sure the car

is actually ready.

2 WHAT TO CHECKYou’ll be excited

when you collect

the car, but there are

important things

you need to check.

Is the car exactly

what you ordered?

Do all the switches

work? Is there

any damage?

3 PAPERWORKRead everything

carefully before

you sign. You’ll need

to fill out the V5C

vehicle registration

document, plus

any finance and

warranty paperwork.

You also need a

dated sales contract.

4 COMPLAINTS AND REJECTIONLet the dealer know

of your concerns

before you take

ownership. If it’s

more serious and

you need to reject

the car, do so in

writing to the dealer

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

How to sell your old car

1 RESEARCH ITS VALUEUse the free used-car

valuation service

at whatcar.com/

valuations or the

free What Car? car

valuations app to

find out exactly

how much your

old car is worth.

2 HOW TO SELL ITIt’s easiest to trade in

your old car when

buying a new one,

but you’ll get more

money if you sell it

privately. You can

also sell it to a

car-buying service,

but beware that the

prices can be low.

3 PREPARE YOUR CAR FOR SALEClean it inside and

out and top up all

the fluid levels. It’s

rarely worth paying

to fix small dents and

scratches, especially

on older cars, but

do get all the

paperwork together.

4 PAPERWORKYou don’t just have

to deal with the

V5C registration

document. You’ll

need to inform any

warranty company

of the new owner’s

details, plus any

security register the

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

GOVERNMENT MPG

Based on official EU tests, this figure

is a weighted average of two tests:

Urban (cold start, average 12mph) and

Extra Urban (warm start, average 39mph).

Note: the official fuel consumption figures

are published as a guide only.

CO2/TAX LIABILITY

Company car tax is charged on a sliding scale

based on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Our

tax liability figures show the percentage of the

list price (including options) on which you will

be taxed. The scale alters each April.

VED RATING

Also known as road tax, Vehicle Excise Duty

is calculated on a sliding scale according to

the vehicle’s CO2 emissions. Alternative-fuel

cars (hybrids, for example) attract a £10

discount on all VED rates.

PERFORMANCE FIGURES

Our figures show acceleration (0-60mph).

Most of the performance figures are

set by the car makers. Please note that

some manufacturers’ acceleration

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

Band CO2 emissions 1st year 2nd year

We tell you all about fitting accessories after delivery, maintenance deals and PCP vs contract hire

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN RUNNING A CAR

ON CONTRACT HIRE AND

LEASING?

Contract hire is actually a form of

leasing – effectively it is an

operating lease. ‘Leasing’ is a

general, catch-all term that

includes finance lease and lease

purchase, as well as contract hire.

I’M SELF-EMPLOYED AND

WANT A CAR FOR MOSTLY

BUSINESS USE.

Should I go for contract hire or

investigate a PCP?

Personal contract hire isn’t

proving as popular as personal

contract purchase (PCP) among

private individuals and the self-

employed. Monthly payments are

often broadly similar, but at the

end of the deal a PCP gives you

the flexibility to own the car for an

extra lump sum or, potentially, a

bit of cash to put towards a

deposit on another PCP deal.

If you find you want or need to

terminate the deal early, PCP

usually offers an advantage, too.

With contract hire, early

termination typically carries a

penalty of 50% of the outstanding

rental. The penalties on a PCP are

usually comparatively small.

If you are VAT-registered,

though, you can reclaim 50% of

the VAT on the finance costs of

contract hire and 100% of the

VAT on a maintenance

agreement. With a PCP, you can’t

reclaim VAT. In some cases, this

can make contract hire the better

bet, but for most buyers, PCP

offers the more attractive route.

DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO

TAKE OUT A ‘WITH

MAINTENANCE’ AGREEMENT

WHEN BUYING?

Companies tend to go for a

maintenance agreement because

it makes budgeting easier, is less

hassle and can reduce

administration. For private

individuals, the fixed monthly cost

can also be reassuring, but you

should also work out whether it is

cheaper to pay for your own

maintenance. Use the What Car?

data pages to help estimate costs.

Contract hire & leasing

Generally, the higher your

mileage, the more viable a

maintenance agreement

becomes for a single individual.

Annual mileage of 20,000 miles

or more can swing it in favour of

a maintenance package. As well

as the potential of extra servicing

and wear and tear with higher

mileage, many warranties run out

at 60,000 miles.

If you’re leasing an older car,

consider maintenance. The

warranty will probably run out

before the end of the contract

and while the best leasing firms

source nearly new cars from main

dealers, others may supply from

less reputable origins.

So do your sums, then balance

any cost difference against the

pros and cons.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FIT

ACCESSORIES TO A CAR ON

CONTRACT HIRE?

You need to get the permission of

the leasing company before you

add accessories, such as mobile

phone kits or tow bars. Before

you return the car at the end of

the contract, it is up to you to

remove these accessories and

make good any damage.

Hot Topic

Is it true that leasing firms

sting you for any damage to

your car at the end of

a contract hire deal?

Billy Prince, Bristol

The bill for any damage at the

end of a contract is known as a

dilapidation charge. The

distinction between ‘damage’

and ‘fair wear and tear’ can

differ from one company to

another, as can charges for

putting it right, so compare

charges before you sign up.

The best firms follow British

Vehicle Rental and Leasing

Association guidelines. Some

won’t charge if the cost of

damage is below a set figure.

What’s the final damage?

What about delivery dates, sourcing reliable used cars, finder’s fees and giving a broker money up front?

A BROKER CLAIMS HE CAN

SUPPLY ME WITH A NEW

BMW X5 SOONER THAN MY

LOCAL DEALER CAN.

Is this possible?

It could be that the broker

pre-ordered a new X5 on the basis

that he’d be able to find a buyer for

it, or he may have a cancelled

order. In either case, it is possible

that you could beat the dealer

waiting list, but quiz him about the

basis for his claim. If it’s one of the

two cases above, ask to see the

proof, make sure the car has the

same engine and trim that you

want, and remember that you

won’t be able to choose the spec if

the car has been ordered. Get the

delivery date in writing, too.

I’VE SEEN A BROKER WHO IS

CHARGING A FINDER’S FEE

OF £1000.

Is this right?

Shop elsewhere. There is nothing

to stop brokers charging finder’s

fees, even as high as this. However,

unless the car is very exclusive or

you’re jumping a long queue for an

in-demand model, £1000 is steep.

As a general rule, most reputable

brokers earn their commission

from the dealer, not the customer

so be wary if you’re asked to pay

the broker any money.

IS IT SAFE TO PAY MONEY TO

A BROKER BEFORE I’VE

TAKEN DELIVERY OF A CAR?

It puts you in a very vulnerable

position, even if the broker is

trustworthy. If the broker goes

bust before your car has arrived,

you may not see the car or the

money. The safest options are to

use a broker who insists you pay

the dealer directly for the car, or

pay the money into an ‘escrow’

holding account until the car is

ready for delivery. If you have

handed cash to a broker, get

written proof that the supplying

dealer has received your money.

CAN BROKERS SUPPLY USED

AS WELL AS NEW CARS?

Yes. The majority of new-car

brokers also supply nearly new

motors and the savings compared

with the DIY route are broadly

similar. Likewise, the usual caveats

about using a broker also apply.

Brokers

Also, if the car is only a few

months old, it’s worth ensuring

that it isn’t a ‘dealer return’ – a new

car returned by a customer

because it was sub-standard.

IF I BUY FROM A BROKER,

WHAT FINANCE AND

WARRANTY CAN I EXPECT?

Most brokers don’t offer finance

directly, but they can notify the

dealer that you’re interested in

paying for your car this way, and

from then on, your dealer will

discuss your options with you

and conduct the transaction as

normal. Every new car, whether

you find it in a showroom or via

a broker, comes with a full

manufacturer’s warranty.

WHERE DO BROKERS SOURCE

THEIR CARS?

Although some brokers specialise

in imports, the majority deal in UK

models, supplied by UK dealers.

They’ve already negotiated

discounts, so save you hassle and

time but it’s possible to beat a

broker’s price if you’re determined.

Most brokers refer you to the

dealer, and from then on you deal

direct. As the car is supplied by a

dealer you have a right to expect

the same service as if you’d

walked in off the street.

Hot Topic

If I buy through a broker,

will I be the car’s first

registered keeper?

Sharon Jones, Carlisle

Ask to see the broker’s terms

and conditions before you buy.

Some ‘rogue’ companies

pre-register cars to claim

manufacturer fleet discounts.

However, while you might save

a bit of money, this can be risky

– you could invalidate your

insurance. Reputable brokers

only sell cars ordered through

dealers where you are the first

registered keeper. Get this

assurance in writing, and don’t

‘accept’ the car until you are in

receipt of the V5C.

LET OUR CUSTOMERS SPEAK FOR US...

our innovative rear bumper top paint protectors, cover old scratches and prevent new ones.

Rearguards are eminently practical and sensible. Customers love them. Every time we sell one - from £31.25

- we seem to get a written thank-you. Rearguards are designed and made in England and sold by polite, friendly,

helpful staff. People, not tape recordings, answer our phones. And we trade from bricks-and-mortar premises. We’re not

in ‘the cloud’. We’re in Leighton Buzzard! Below are just a few testimonials - there are many more online. Our thanks to

everyone who has written - keep them coming please. You may order Rearguards by phone, online or by email.

“Just fitted Rearguard which arrived todayfor my Sandero Stepway. Absolutely brilliant.Blends in so well with rest of car’s trims.”

Mr D.F. Dacia Sandero Stepway

“I was pleased to receive my Rearguard soquickly because my Ford Kuga’s rear bumperwas recently badly scratched and damagedin a car park (by a hit and run driver).To replace it would cost £100s. Rearguardscover up all the damage. It looks part of the

car. Incredibly easy to fit. An excellent accessory! Thank youRearguards!” Mr D.R. Ford Kuga

“Just taken delivery and fitted Rearguards tomy C3 Picasso. Brilliant! It took me about twominutes and it fits perfectly.”

Mr B.Stevens. C3 Picasso

“Every VW driver should have RGMRearguards to protect their paintedrear bumper.”

Neil Birkitt, Editor,VW Driver Magazine May 2009

“Far better than any other method we havetried for protecting rear bumpers.”

Tracker U.K.Fleet of Mercedes Vito vans

Dear Madam, sir, Just had my Rearguarddelivered! FAST! Have put it on without anyproblems, thanks to the super clear instructionsGREAT! Jag (XF Sportbrake) now looks evenBETTER! Many thanks for your EXCELLENTproduct and service! I am a happy

(VERY HAPPY) customer! Mr H.M. Jaguar XF Sportbrake

“Thanks for sending the carbon-lookRearguard for my Mk7 Golf. It’s fabulous- it does exactly what I needed, as the sill isparticularly prone to damage. I don’tunderstand why manufacturers don’t fitsomething like it as standard equipment.”

Mr R.J. VW Golf Mk7“Today I received my Rearguard for my 2011BMW 525 SE and I’d like to say a Big ThankYou. It covers the scratches on top of thebumper and it makes the rear of my car lookeven more upmarket. The Lady I ordered itfrom on the Phone was Extremely Helpful

and Friendly, a credit to your company. Now I’ve fitted Rearguardsit makes me wonder why they’re not standard on all new cars. Youhave a great Product and I wish you every Success for the Future.”

Mr M.R. BMW 525 SE

Now a couple of things we had no room forat the top. If you’d like a free brochure, justask. If you place an order and you’d like usto fit your Rearguard, pop in and we’ll doit for free. If your car’s not on our list, callus and we might make one especially foryou! We’ve recently added some new luxury

models, such as the Porsche Cayenne and Porsche Macan to ourextensive range of Rearguards.
