Chevrolet Spark 1.2 LT
Chevy’s spark of magic
THREESY DOES IT: Chevrolet says the Spark will only ever be available as a five-door hatchback
R
EADY for a rebel yell? Well American icon Chevrolet has come up with just the job in the shape of funky new supermini the Spark. The car it replaces, the Matiz – a last link with the old Daewoo brand that Chevy took over five years ago – was a decent model in its own right. But this latest Chevy moves the show on to a trendier, more upmarket level with its fresh character, racy looks and striking colour schemes. If cute and cuddly is what you’re seeking, then look elsewhere, but if you’re switched on by a more youthful, dynamic looking small car then Chevy could be the one. The company insists that Spark will only ever be available as a five-door hatchback because it looks like a three-door car anyway with its rear door handles tucked

discreetly away behind the door pillars. That’s not the only piece of forward-looking design. Smart style touches include scarlet, satin steel or piano black detailing that swoops from the doors to a neat high gloss storage trough above the glovebox. And the seats feel durable, in the case of the tested LT model featuring a red swirly pattern, while there’s ample shoulder room and sufficient legroom for a pair of rear passengers – even with the front seats slid well back. It’s a tight squeeze for a centre

rear passenger though as this is realistically a four-seater car, at least if you want to travel in comfort. The cabin’s focal point is its motorcycle-style instrument pod, which sits on top of the steering column while the analogue speedo is backed up by a digital tachometer, just like on a sports bike. A neat touch is the way the dials all turn consistently brighter as darkness falls with a cool-looking ice blue neon glow. Just two petrol engines are on offer – a 1.0-litre unit producing 67bhp and a 1.2-litre powerplant generating 80bhp. Neither offer much in the way of outright punch, but the 1.2 model was quite lively and frugal too, the fuel return of 49mpg impressive given the amount of mixed driving completed. A well weighted feel from the steering and stability at speed were

the roof rails do the dynamic job well enough on their own. All models – prices are from £6,945 for the Spark 1.0 – are well equipped with six airbags as standard and the flagship LT, which only comes with the 1.2-litre engine, has 15-inch alloy wheels, climate control, electric windows, a body kit and six-speaker sound system.
Renault launches a new space race RENAULT is stepping up the space race with lower prices, more equipment and a splash of style for its starship Espace range. The full-blown seven-seat people mover will cost from £24,495, with its Grand Espace stablemate commanding a £1,500 premium, when cars hit
the showrooms in January. More than 1.2 million models have been sold in the last 26 years and the French company expects the success story to continue in the latest version, principally through new equipment and revised diesel engines.
The 2011 Espace boasts LED technology, a new Pearl Blue body colour and gloss black exterior trim details while on the inside there’s now a Carminat TomTom Live satellite navigation system. And every model now comes in Dynamique TomTom spec, all
with sport-style upholstery featuring extra side support and exclusive Teflon protection, the integrated sat-nav as well as gloss black interior trim. The Espace’s modularity remains intact thanks to 10 aluminium tracks in the floor which enable the interior and

Motors LITTLE GEM: The Fiat 500. Below: its two-cylinder engine
by CHRIS RUSSON
T
WINS ain’t what they used to be. The two cylinder engine is making a comeback and being used by Fiat to spearhead an economy drive. Fitted to the popular little Fiat 500 the new engine is a revelation – not only because it can average around 70 miles per gallon but also because it’s great fun to drive. With CO2 emissions of only 95g/km Fiat is claiming the TwinAir engine to be the cleanest mainstream production petrol engine in the world. It is even greener when mated to a semi-automatic gearbox which reduces emissions further to just 92g/km. Fiat - who launched the new powerplant to local dealers at Aintree racecourse this week - has invested £300million in two cylinder technology which – as far as conventional engines go – is the most efficient, low friction configuration. With the help of a turbo charger the tiny 875cc engine develops 85bhp – good enough to produce a 0 to 60 time of 11 seconds and a top speed of 108mph. Cast your mind back a few decades and those statistics are very similar to the performance of a 1.8-litre twin carburettor MGB sports car of the 1970s – but that would average around 25 to the gallon.
It takes
TWO
The last time a two cylinder car was on sale in the UK was in the 1980s with the Citroen LNA hatchback. Prior to that they were best known in the Citroen 2CV and, if you go back far, enough in the original Fiat 500 of the 1950s.
But lack of performance meant the little engines could not compete with four cylinder models. Now, with the help of turbo charging and the current focus on economy, the two cylinder is back in a big way. The TwinAir engine will be
available in all versions of the 500 priced from £10,665 for the hatchback and £13,665 for convertibles. That slots the two pot in between the entry level 1.2-litre petrol 500 which costs £9,465 and the 1.3-litre diesel version priced from £11,865.

AUXHALL is celebrating the best of British – and in three weeks time drivers across the country will be able to find just how good that is. Designed by a Brit, engineered in the south and built at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire, the new Vauxhall Astra Sport Tourer has the potential to take the motoring world by storm. And when it arrives in showrooms on November 26, the starting price will actually be £500 less than the current entry level Astra Estate model it replaces, even though there’s a raft of extra kit. This is a hugely important car to Vauxhall and the Ellesmere Port plant, which will produce between 135,000 and 155,000 vehicles during 2011 - some 80 per cent of which will be Sport Tourer. That’s a lot of cars. And if the Astra Hatch looks good and drives well, then consumers are in for a real treat with the newcomer. The launch programme kicked off with a drive to the factory in the outgoing Astra Estate, a worthy workhorse let down by a basic and straight edged interior. It’s light years removed from the Sport Tourer with its funky cabin, falling roofline, wraparound rear windscreen and bladed sides. But the new car’s far more elegant lines - penned by British designer Mark Adams - haven’t compromised space, the load

Sport Tourer buyers will have a choice of seven engines from launch, the range an average 13.3 per cent cleaner and more economical than its predecessor. Trim grades are labelled ES, Exclusiv, Sri and SE, all with ESP, six airbags, air-con, front electric windows and daytime running lights as standard. The range kicks off with the 1.4-litre 100PS petrol ES model at £16,575 and there are also 1.4 Turbo 140PS and 1.6 115PS petrol units. Diesels comprise a 1.3 CDTi ecoFLEX powerplant with 95PS, a pair of 1.7-litre engines with 110 or 125PS and a 160PS 2.0-litre CDTi which tops the line-up at £24,300 in

SE automatic. January will see the arrival of Start/Stop technology, to be rolled out in every Vauxhall model range over the next 18 months, in the 1.3 CDTi ecoFLEX. It’s the 1.7-litre 110PS diesel that’s expected to be the big seller though. It costs from £18,665 in basic ES trim and combines plenty of punch (0-60mph in 12.2 secs, 113mph top speed) with 62.8mpg fuel economy and 119g/km of CO2, making it very appealing to both private buyers and the fleets. This is a really rewarding car to drive and appreciably better than the 1.4 Turbo that performs nicely on the open road but starts to labour a bit uphill. Overall though, the Sport Tourer is a car with a big future. It has been tuned for British roads at the Vauxhall Engineering Centre at Millbrook, Bedfordshire, it looks the real deal, is spacious too – and has a touch of class.

STAR GAZER: The new Ellesmere Port-built Vauxhall Astra Sport Tourer has the potential to take the motoring world by storm
& points
●
THE Driving Standards Agency is to stop publishing the multiple choice questions and answers used in theory tests. Road Safety Minister Mike Penning says it will help ensure that new drivers learn the principles behind driving theory rather than just learning answers. The move follows the introduction of independent driving into the driving test and the DSA's decision to stop publishing test routes last month, to make sure the test assesses a learner's ability to drive and not their capacity to memorise routes. Penning said: "The driving theory test should help to prepare drivers for real life on the road good driving is not just about vehicle-handling skills.”
PROTON is ● offering customers a free
winter check at selected garages until the end of January. The offer includes checking the anti-freeze and coolant level, tyre condition, engine oil level, brake fluid performance, power steering fluid, washer bottle contents, washer jet operation, wiper arms and blades condition and operation of all external lights. Motorists will also be entered into a prize draw to win £200 worth of Marks and Spencer vouchers to spice up Christmas shopping. Proton’s Simon Park said: “By offering a free winter check we’re able to help motorists feel safe in the knowledge that their car is suitable for driving in wintery conditions.”
