In brief Safety risks of motorists’ belt-tightening

BELT-tightening by motorists during the recession is leading to an increase in potentially unroadworthy vehicles, it has been revealed. More than half (51 per cent) of motorists are worried about paying for repairs found during an MOT inspection, a survey by motoring website and magazine Auto Trader found. A further 10 per cent are delaying putting their car through an MOT test until after its due date and seven per cent are delaying renewing their road tax. The survey showed that 32 per cent of motorists are holding off doing repairs to their vehicle, and of these nearly 15 per cent of the repairs are deemed to be “quite major’’, with five per cent “very major’’. Auto Trader marketing director Matt Thompson said: “It is extremely worrying that nearly half of all UK motorists are prepared to drive around in an unroadworthy vehicle to try and save money during these difficult times. We would urge all motorists to ensure that their vehicle is fully maintained, especially during the winter months, when a well looked-after vehicle can make a real difference to safe driving.’’

Used motors rise in value

USED car values are starting to creep back up again, and anyone wanting to get the best deal possible should buy sooner, rather than later. That’s the advice from leading UK vehicle auctioneer British Car Auctions (BCA), whose spokesman, Tim Naylor said: “Used cars currently represent exceptional value. But with prices creeping up again, the market will favour motorists who buy now. And, says Naylor, some of the best auction deals are to be had in three-year-old, ex-fleet cars: “Values fell by around £1,200 last year, and the average fleet car will currently cost about £5,500. In terms of value, buyers are getting a well-specified car with one previous owner, and sometimes the balance of the maker’s warranty.’’

Confusion over hard shoulder

FURTHER government plans to allow motorists to drive on motorway hard shoulders during busy times could cause confusion, according to a survey. As many as 17 per cent of motorists already believe it is legal to use the hard shoulder during congestion, an earlier survey from esure car insurance found. Now a new survey by the company shows that 78 per cent believe government plans to extend the use of the hard shoulder running (HSR) plan to take in more motorways will create confusion. Based on responses from 1,000 motorists, the latest survey also revealed that 81 per cent were worried the new plans would mean there would be nowhere safe to stop immediately in an emergency.

Fantastic saver on the fuel bills DOWNSIZING from a monster truck to a mere Humvee might be their idea of saving the planet but here in the UK we have a very different perspective on cutting fuel bills which has resulted in cars that are not only very economical but huge fun to drive. The Citroen C2 1.4-litre HDi is a case in point. With a mere 70bhp on tap, the C2 HDi will still top out at the other side of the ton and get to 60mph in 13.2 seconds. More importantly, it’s respectably quick off the mark to 25mph or so, an all-important factor in stop start city conditions. Much of that is down to the abundant torque. The 111 lb/ft produced by the HDi diesel engine gives the tiny C2 more punching power than, say, a 1.6-litre Audi A3. Yet despite being this light on

C21.4HDI its feet, the C2 HDi returns a staggering average fuel return of 68.9mpg and emits only 108g/km of carbon dioxide. This thing is cleaner than the soles of Mrs Prescott’s shoes. On a gentle run, it’s easy to see 78 miles per gallon of diesel and given that the fuel tank can hold over nine gallons, a fill to the brim that’ll cost you around £32 gives you a maximum theoretical range of over 700 miles. Next time somebody mentions American fuel prices, just think of the cars they end up driving and compare it with the Citroen C2 HDi. It seems we Europeans have managed to snatch an unlikely victory.

Style in the city TOYOTA’S Aygo is the result of a triple pronged assault, this time in conjunction with Citroen and Peugeot, and the target is the citycar market. Compared to its Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1 counterparts, Toyota have gone to greater lengths to visually differentiate the Aygo. This is reflected in a marginally higher sticker price, but for many the treatment of the front grille and lights and the smooth way the rear lamp clusters have been integrated will be enough to swing the balance. Built in the Czech Republic, Toyota are aiming to sell 100,000 per year across Europe. The range consists of two main trim levels (Aygo and Aygo+) plus special Platinum and Blue models, with all versions powered by the same 67bhp three-cylinder one-litre engine. Both three and five door variants are offered - and they are very neatly finished. The front and rear overhangs have been kept short to maximise interior

space and make parking simple. With a 3.4 metre overall length, it’s almost 23cm shorter than a modern MINI. The interior has a two-tone dashboard with a textured effect, while the door trims feature body coloured detailing. One eye-catching features is the design of the ventilation controls on the centre console. Two large wheels bookend the console with a translucent panel sitting between them. Coupled with the funky, minimalist instrument panel, they give the Aygo’s fascia a very modern appearance. The steering column is adjustable for both reach and rake, the speedometer binnacle moving with the wheel. Coupled with plenty of driver’s seat travel and ample headroom, there shouldn’t be a problem getting comfortable behind the wheel of the Aygo. Sitting behind a tall driver is another issue altogether and rear space is a little pinched with the front seat at the back of its travel. That’s perhaps forgivable, as there is only so much that can be

done within a 2.34 metre wheelbase. The audio system reflects the Aygo’s modern outlook. The standard setup features the usual AM/FM radio and CD player but also includes a connection socket for other audio hardware such as an MP3 player. Even the entry-level car is well equipped and includes colour keyed bumpers, twin front airbags, and anti lock brakes with the backup of electronic brakeforce distribution. The + grade adds colour-keyed door mirrors and handles, electric front windows, a split folding rear seat, remote central locking, a keyless entry system, side airbags and an ISOFIX child seat attachment. Considering the bargain basement pricing of Citroen and

Peugeot counterparts,this model looks set to be the most popular Aygo. The Aygo is a citycar first and foremost, reflected in a sprint to 60mph that takes 14 seconds. The good news is the fact that the 1.0-litre petrol engine is predictably excellent in terms of fuel economy and emissions. The combined economy figure is 61.4mpg and emissions are pegged at a laudable 109g/km. These figures are helped by the fact that the 1.0-litre is billed as the world’s lightest production engine. A five-speed manual transmission is the default choice, but Toyota’s Multi-mode Manual Transmission is also available as an option, offering clutchless gear changing for those who want to take the drag out of city dri-

MOTABILITY Operations, the company that leases cars to disabled people, is trialling a new trade-in option in order to drive new customer acquisitions via the dealership network. The trade-in option allows car owners to use the value of their privately owned car towards the advance payment of a brand new car on the Motability Car Scheme. Currently around 80 per cent of new customers to Motability already own a car. The development allows these customers an efficient, simple and cost effective means of disposing of their existing car, therefore removing potential barriers to joining Motability. Mike Betts, chief executive, Motability Operations explains: “Our research tells us that a significant proportion of potential new customers to Motability, and therefore our dealership partners, have an existing car. Adding a trade-in option brings the Motability new car acquisition process in line with the part exchange services offered by most other new car buying channels. Trials to date have been performing extremely well with customers enjoying the financial benefits, and dealers able to offer a complete customer service proposition.” Over 800 Motability Operations dealer partners are taking part in the trial throughout the UK. Motability Operations expects to roll out the trade-in option across more dealerships during early 2009

Prices reduced to the lowest possible level in great car fair event BLACKPOOL Honda is holding a New Year Car Fair event over this weekend, starting today until Sunday. All their cars have been re-priced to reflect the current market conditions and now offer the best value for money seen in years. This exciting occasion will be the ideal opportunity to pick up a used Honda at a bargain price. There’s so much choice available so check out the huge selection of Approved Used Hondas on display at Blackpool Honda this weekend. You’ll be amazed at the massive price reductions available right across their stock. Every used car has been superbly prepared prior to sale. Don’t forget to watch out for some spectacular deals on new Hondas too! Blackpool Honda have made it easy for customers to change their cars with their ‘Eight Easy Steps to a New Car’. Here’s how it works: ● All cars on display have been repriced to their lowest possible value. ● These new prices are clearly marked on each vehicle. ● Price change clearly marked. ● Choose your refreshments. ● Have your existing car valued as a part exchange by completing the relevant form. ● Choose your replacement car. ● Subtract part exchange value from car price.

BLACKPOOL HONDA ● Supply a deposit to hold car and select a finance package that meets your requirements if appropriate. It could not be easier and Blackpool Honda’s friendly staff will be on hand to help you through the process and answer any questions you may have. They will be there to make your day in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

MODELS

Honda’s award-winning car range is so extensive that it covers all areas of the market, from the adaptable Jazz supermini and revolutionary Civic range through to the new best-selling CR-V compact 4x4 and the highlydesirable S2000 Roadster. Then there is the roomy FR-V and latest Accord along with the eco-friendly and highly efficient Civic Hybrid. Honda is a brand that likes to do things a little bit differently and nowhere is this wilful disregard for market conventions more evident than in the Jazz supermini. Why can’t an ordinary supermini offer more than a conventional seating arrangement and a rear hatchback? Hence the Jazz, a five-door Fiesta-sized hatchback with pronounced MPV

overtones that aims to do a large part of what other marques manage with three or four small car derivatives. Much of this is thanks to its clever ‘magic’ rear seat which can not only be folded unusually low and flat but can also have its cushion flipped up against the backrest, so leaving a tall loadbay stretching across the cabin in front of the seat. Another new arrival to the range is the latest version of Honda’s Accord. This time it is bigger, more luxurious model, and differentiates itself with jaw-dropping technology and fiendishly clever engineering. As before, both saloon and Tourer estate versions are offered.

BUYING

If you require finance to assist with the purchase of your car, then the dealership can offer you a range of competitively priced packages that can be tailored to your specific circumstances.

Their sales team is fully trained to help you choose the best option available. Loan periods can be flexible, ranging from one year up to five years in length. If you have outstanding finance on your current car, Blackpool Honda will be happy to arrange the settlement of the loan on your behalf. Written quotations for all financial offers are available on request. Having bought a car in Blackpool Honda’s fantastic New Year Car Fair you will have the comfort of knowing that they can offer you the very best aftersales service there is available. When it comes to aftersales service and repair no one does it better than Blackpool Honda. All servicing and repairs are carried out in their workshop by fully trained technicians who use the latest diagnostic equipment. They ensure that your vehicle always

receives the very best of care and attention. They can provide you with highly competitive, fully inclusive service costs and will not undertake any work without first gaining your authorisation. All service customers can take advantage of the dealership’s courtesy car facility and for those customers living locally, a pickup and delivery service is also available from home or work. So, what are you waiting for? The countdown to the Blackpool Honda’s New Year Car Fair has started. Blackpool Honda believe that the bottom of the market in car prices has been reached and that they will never again be such good value as they are now! Be sure to get there early to avoid disappointment! You can find Blackpool Honda on Lytham St Annes Way, Blackpool or give them a call on 0844 249 5174 for more information.

In a class of its own WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

Easy-to-ride, easy on the pocket, nippy and good-looking, sales of the frugal ANF 125i Innova have been healthy for a number of years. Popular with both experienced and newly established riders, this model is now one of Europe's best-selling 'stepthrough' scooters. In 2007 Honda introduced a raft of styling changes to enhance the Innova's appearance and at the same time they took the opportunity to update its robust and typically reliable Honda engine in order to provide increased economy and more power. New electronic PGM-FI fuel injection was fitted to make for easier starting and to improve the responsiveness of its performance. An Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) was also introduced to enhance engine response at low revs and to improve the evenness at idling speed. The Innova is certainly fuel efficient. At a speed of 33mph the 125cc unit sips fuel at the rate of just one litre every 46 miles. An externally-mounted low-emission Air Induction System forces fresh air into the engine's exhaust port to increase the amount of exiting exhausts gases burnt, which reducing exhaust

www.motorstoday.co.uk

emissions to well within stringent European EURO-3 emission regulation. From 2007 the exhaust system incorporated a highly efficient 300-cell catalyser element and improvements were also made to the silencer in order to reduce noise output. When it comes to changing the gears no manual clutch operation is required. The Innova's 4-speed rotary transmission is equipped with a semiautomatic centrifugal clutch and gear changes are made via the pressing of a see-saw changer peddle. The peddle features a toe shifter at the front and a heel pad at the back which helps to make gear shifts easy while protecting shoes from damaging scratches and scrapes. The gearboxes' rotary composition allows for handy downshifts from fourth gear to neutral following a complete stop so that there is no need to make laboriously changes down through all the gears. As for the Innova's improved styling, Honda's designers have attempted to make its appearance even sleeker and have largely been successful in their quest. Slight but effectual revisions to the scooter's front and side styling along with changes to its leg shields

ANF 125I INNOVA

and lights accentuate the stepthrough model's sporting aspirations, giving it an air of speediness. From 2007, louvered vents introduced to the side of its body have also augmented the Innova's chic style along with a redesigned aluminium grab rail behind the comfortable and accommodating tandem seat. This rail offers the pillion rider safe and secure hand grip during trips. Underneath the tilting seat is a large and convenient seven litre lockable storage area. This Honda scooter's instrument panel was way ahead of rivals in terms of design when introduced in 2003. Few of the Innova's contemporaries can better it for appearance and functionality. Therefore, except for very few minor details Honda has largely left things alone. As you might expect with Honda, the Innova is very well constructed. It's available in four highly attractive twotone colour schemes - Force Silver Metallic with Terra Silver Metallic,

Candy Caribbean Blue Seas with Candy Lighting Blue, Asteroid Metallic with Titanium Metallic and Candy Beam Red with Candy Foggy Orange.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

Here in the UK customers can expect to fork out for an on-the-roadprice of ÂŁ1,929 for the Honda ANF 125i Innova, which is very competitive against models from all its mainstream rival manufacturers.

HOW DOES IT HANDLE?

The Innova's lightweight and inherent stability makes it easy to ride under all conditions. The suspension system's rear dampers soak up bumps and irregularities of the road surface very well to provide a comfortable and compliant ride, while the 26mm leading axle hydraulic front fork conveys rapid, safe and secure steering control.

The scooter's front braking comes courtesy of a powerful, quick to respond dual-piston calliper measuring 220m while a 110mm drum brake provides the Innova's rear braking power. The system works efficiently to offer excellent control under just about all road conditions.

VERDICT

With motoring costs mounting, crowded roads and the growing awareness of the need to take care of our environment, it can hardly be seen as surprising that more motorists are turning to two wheels rather than four to make their daily commute. The Honda ANF 125i Innova's ultralow running costs, competitive price, easy-going nature and attractive styling will continue to make it a class leader within the step-through scooter sector of the market.
