APPEALING: the new diesel-powered Subaru Forester
B
New ‘Scooby’ will do nicely
But times are changing rapidly at the Japanese company, which believes it is on the cusp of a major switch in the way it is perceived by the car buying public. And one word can sum up the reason for this wave of confidence diesel. The latest Subaru Forester, a keenly- designed sports utility vehicle with permanent all-wheel drive, was introduced during the spring in petrol format. Only this week, though, has the long-awaited oil-burner arrived. It is an immensely capable engine, and one expected to take the lion’s share of Forester sales and turn it into Subaru’s top-selling model. The car maker is adamant that diesel has come
at just the right time, stressing that as a niche company it is well placed to plot a course through what are clearly troubled waters for the motor industry. Only time will tell whether the Forester has the desired impact. What’s certain is that it’s a car of considerable appeal, the three-model range starting at £20,295. Subaru chose the area around Cork in southern Ireland, an area blessed with a blend of rural and coastal roads of varying quality, for the Forester first drive.

While this largest model in the ‘Scooby’ range looks the part, is comfortable and spacious, and includes plenty of standard kit, the engine is clearly the star. Subaru has stuck by its horizontal ‘boxer’ powerplant layout for more than 40 years and the company’s engineers were determined to use this format for their first diesel. The result is a compact, lightweight 2.0-litre common rail unit producing 147bhp, a maximum speed of 115mph and acceleration to 60 in 10 seconds. And over two days of mixed driving the claimed economy figure of a fraction over 44 miles
RAFT OF FEATURES: The interior per gallon proved of the new diesel-powered Subaru Forester bang on the button. This is a 2.0D XC rewarding car to drive too. at £22,495 to be the best seller and Especially noticeable is the lack of with its raft of features certainly vibration, the dynamics are very offers plenty for hose unwilling to positive and the six-speed manual shell out another £3,000 for the gearbox slick to use. flagship XS model’s leather, The Forester is obviously no powered seating, push-button start heavy duty mudplugger – its AWD and sat-nav. system splitting power 50/50 front Scooby fans opting for entry to rear unless slip is detected – but it is well capable of coping with less grade Forester 2.0D X will benefit demanding off-road conditions and from emissions of 167g/km, which means an annual road fund licence confidently picked a course down of £170, and of its closest rivals only rocky tracks and onto several the VW Tiguan can match its beaches.

Makemodel SENSATIONAL ENGINEERING: The new Lexus IS-F model
POPULAR: The Ellesmere Port-built Astra
road test extended
Our new Astra hatch is tough – and childproof!
’Caged tiger’ on the prowl New Lexus a sensation road
I
T’S THE pussycat with the ferocity of a caged tiger – it’s also a sensational piece of engineering.
Welcome to the Lexus IS F, a car that combines savage performance and fantastic dynamics with the brand’s proven reputation for luxury. The starting point for this supercar’s development may have been the IS sports saloon but the comparison stops there. At the car’s heart is an all-aluminium 5.0-litre engine, the most powerful yet in a Lexus and one capable of eyeball-flattening punch. First though, a little about the car’s development. The letter F actually refers to the Fuji Speedway – home of the Japanese Grand Prix – where much of the model’s track testing took place. And in creating the IS F, the
test
With MIKE TORPEY luxury arm of Toyota had to address several key questions – in particular response, sound and acceleration. To achieve the former the Lexus engineers produced a compact V8 engine producing a whopping 417bhp and featuring a shedload of race car technology. Pootle around town and the car feels so civilised you might doubt the presence of a monster beneath the bonnet. Floor the throttle though and the response is thunderous. The sprint from 0-60mph takes less than five seconds and the soundtrack is magnificent – both from inside and outside the car. Instant braking is ensured courtesy of six-piston calipers

PIRE POWER: The Lexus IS F 5-do
gripping the 14-inch discs and Lexus has also come up with the world’s fastest-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. Called Sports Direct Shift, it delivers the kind of response usually only found in motor sport, with shifts effected in just a tenth of a second. And the beauty of SDS is that in M – for manual – mode the driver has complete control over the gear changes and can hold any gear, using F1 style paddle controls. Hop inside the IS F, with its bonnet power bulge and side sills, and the cabin isn’t too dissimilar to standard IS models, though there is plenty of carbon-effect trim on the console and leather seats with the F logo embossed on the sides. But the positive nature of the car’s handling with its stiffer dampers and perfectly weighted steering places it up there with the best – and Lexus is quick to namecheck the likes of the Audi RS4 BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG as principal rivals. The Japanese car maker also stresses that the IS F provides knee airbags for both driver and passenger along with Adaptive Cruise Control and a Pre-Crash safety system, features not offered by the opposition. Says chief engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi: “I wanted to develop a car that transforms every moment of driving into pure experience – a car that lets you feel and enjoy driving pleasure every time you drive, an experience that is truly engaging.” He hit the nail on the head.

EARLIER this year we visited one of Britain’s most successful car plants, Vauxhall at Ellesmere Port, to witness the production process at first hand. The Wirral factory is home to the popular Astra model, producing 128,000 five-door and Astravan versions last year alone. But not only did we see how a modern, hi-tech operation works – we ended up building our own car and taking it on test. Over the coming weeks there will be regular updates on the progress of our metallic ‘star silver’ Astra SRI 1.9 turbodiesel hatchback. Here’s Part One. A TIMECHECK reveals that Vauxhall Astras have actually been rolling off the Ellesmere Port production line since 1981. None of the previous generations, By Mike Torpey though, have proved so popular as the current Mk V model that was Britain's second-best selling car behind arch rival the Ford Focus in 2005, 2006 and 2007, actually toppling the Focus during the summer. There are around 55 different Astra models, ranging from the stylish three-door Sport Hatch to the trendy convertible Twin Top, plus a wide range of lively petrol and diesel engines. The car we built at Ellesmere Port, a five-door model in sporty SRI trim, is proving close to the ideal small family hatchback with lively, yet frugal, diesel engine and sensible interior. And a stand-out feature is its sturdy, tough feel – an essential quality when children, their mates and grubby sports bags are strewn over the seats and in the boot.
