●

STUART Turner, one of motor sport’s best known characters, is the latest big name to feature in the Aintree Circuit Club's series of celebrity evenings at The Park Hotel, Netherton, on Tuesday, October 13 (7.30pm).

He will describe his life in motorsport including competing as co-driver in major international rallies, his time as Competitions and Public Affairs Director of Ford Europe and Competitions Manager of B.M.C. Stuart was the mastermind behind the all conquering Mini and Escort victories on race and rally circuits throughout the world and is the author of more than 20 books on motor sport and business.

Admission is free to Aintree Circuit Club members and £5 for non-members.

Info from John Bailie on 07860 25548.

THE next ● generation of Volvo cars

should soon provide a greater level of protection to jay-walkers.

From next year, models built by the Swedish maker will be able to stop automatically if they detect pedestrians in their path.

Gadgetry that ‘sees’ people ahead will be fitted to the next S60 range and it will apply the brakes if drivers don’t react in time.

The preventive safety technology is the latest stage in Volvo’s development of equipment to detect dangerous situations and promises to help drivers avoid collisions with pedestrians at speeds under 15mph.

LEAN AND MEAN: The new Volkswagen Golf GDT pumps out 170bhp but can average 38.7 miles per gallon

Diesel power with an ice cool image

T

HE hot hatch with a cool image has been developed by Volkswagen in the shape of the Golf GTD. Basically a diesel version of the iconic GTI it is on a mission to prove that being eco-friendly does not have to be boring.

With huge amounts of mid-range acceleration the two-litre GTD pumps out 170bhp – not quite as punchy as the GTI but still enough to make it a real driver’s machine.

Top speed is a claimed 136mph while 0 to 60 acceleration is a brisk 8.1 seconds which has to be tempered against 144mph and 6.9 seconds from the petrol engined GTI. The real difference is fuel consumption and in this day and age that can be enough to sway any driver’s opinion.

The GTD can average 53.3mpg – more if you are gentle on the throttle – and that puts it in a league of its own amongst performance hatches. The GTI may manage

by CHRIS RUSSON a creditable 38.7mpg but that makes it around 15 per cent more expensive to run.

Factor in CO2 emissions of 139g/km for the diesel as opposed to 170 for the GTI and that puts the GTD into the £120 a year tax band for the private motorist - £55 cheaper than its quicker brother.

The diesel is also slightly cheaper to buy at £23,035 compared to the GTI’s price of £23,600.

And when it comes to handling there is little between the two. A lot of that is down to some sophisticated technology which includes stability and traction controls as well as an electronic differential lock.

The result is amazing stability when the car is being put through its paces.

VW has worked hard to make the latest generation of the Golf a car which lives up to its heritage which began six versions ago in 1977.

For a diesel it is

surprisingly quiet inside, even when working hard, and the levels of refinement in the cockpit are top class.

Apart from GTD badging the two hot Golfs are basically the same and both feature one of the most comfortable steering wheels around. In true racing fashion it is flat bottomed but sculpted to fit a proper grip and deliver plenty of feel for the driver.

A honeycomb front air intake and a subtle roof

spoiler are finishing touches to the bodywork which has a meaty look thanks to pronounced bumpers.

Build quality inside and out is excellent – as you would expect from Volkswagen – and while the dash remains overtly functional it is high tech.

A touchscreen CD/radio adds £360 to the price while parking sensors (including a rear view camera) cost £555.

The GTD is every bit as

rewarding to drive as the famous GTI but what is most satisfying is the fuel economy.

On a light throttle I managed to achieve almost 70mpg on a long run on country lanes. Driven hard the car still showed an average of 52mpg on the return run.

Performance and economy sitting side by side would be unheard of only a few years ago. This car has both in spades.

Hyundai i20 Comfort 5-door

It’s the little big car

TARDIS FACTOR: The Hyundai 120 is deceptively spacious inside and comes well equipped

F

EW car makers do budget motoring more effectively than Hyundai. The Korean manufacturer has already scored big time thanks to its city car the i10 and family sized i30 model.

But the greatest challenge is facing the car that slips between the other two - in the supermini arena dominated by the likes of the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa.

The i20 is the model that has replaced the Getz, itself Hyundai’s top seller in Britain, and comes with an armoury of assets that could lure cash conscious buyers away from the more popular, and expensive, models.

There are three engines – 1.2 and 1.4 petrol plus a 1.4 diesel – three and five door body styles, five speed manual or four speed automatic transmissions, three trim grades and prices - from £8,850- that are appreciably cheaper than the

principal competition.

And for good measure the most basic package boasts air-conditioning, central locking, CD player with i-pod adaptor and a glovebox cooler as standard.

It makes you suspect there’s a snag, and to be truthful there is.

The design boys may talk about dynamic new looks and higher levels of luxury, but the i20 is not exactly a head turner – and there’s no shortage of cheap black plastic to adorn the facia.

That apart, the little Hyundai is an absolutely belting car and one

that is deceptively spacious inside.

For instance I got the call to collect a son from university in Newcastle because he had too much clobber to bring home on the train.

What he didn’t mention was the 1970s racing bike, affectionately known as the greyhound due to its lightweight design and blistering speed.

I didn’t think that, even with the front wheel removed, there was the remotest chance of fitting it in the i20. Yet once the 60/40 split fold rear seats were down it slipped in with room for the rest of the stuff as well.

And despite being fully laden the little 77bhp engine performed well; a bit lethargic off the mark but up to holding its own on the motorway and returning mpg in the mid-40s.

Having been initially sceptical about the Hyundai I found myself warming to the car.

The i20 does just what it says on the tin and is a simple, no nonsense

It rides adequately, is well sorted for safety with six airbags and electronic stability control as standard and has the added attraction of a fully transferable five-year warranty.

Toyota and Nissan celebrate a new car sales rush

driver deals

TOYOTA and Nissan are celebrating after scoring bumper showroom business in September.

The number plate change saw records tumble at Toyota with sales volume reaching 17,267 units and market share nudging up to more than six per cent.

“These impressive results

highlight our ability to tick all the boxes at a time when cost saving is a priority,” says a spokesman..

The company claims motorists have been quick to appreciate the improved fuel economy and emission performance delivered

by Optimal Drive, the feature

included on five new models launched this year.

A total of 16,908 registrations gave Nissan its biggest market share for six years and seventh ranking in the new car market ahead of Citroen and Honda, along with premium brands including Mercedes-Benz and

3 4 4 3 5

Audi. Most popular member of the Nissan family last month was the Qashqai, the British built cross-over model that came 14th in the sales chart with 5,583 registrations.

But there was also sustained strong demand for the Micra supermini and Note MPV.

longterm test

The Ford Fiesta has been a UK hit since the day it was launched some 33 years ago and was recently voted Northern Car of the Year 2009 by the writers who assess countless models professionally. Here’s part two of our long-term road test.

The fun factor

TRIED AND TESTED: Ford Fiesta Zetec

W

HEN it comes to the fun factor, the latest Ford Fiesta really is in seventh heaven.

Yes, this is the seventh generation of Britain’s most popular supermini and it’s bursting with vibrant new colours and a design that Liverpool-born Ford of Europe chief John Fleming describes as producing “the most dramatic Fiesta since the very

first model”. The latest generation Fiesta went on sale last autumn and, as you would expect from a market leader, comes in 40 different versions with a tried and trusted engine range, five trim grades and prices from £8,514.

From pretty much the middle of the range is our tested 1.4-litre Zetec three-door model that comes packed with standard kit and more space than any of its predecessors.

Most striking though is the quality of the car’s interior.

The finish is highly contemporary as is the design of the instruments - inspired by a mobile phone keypad – and all models have an information display screen.

The cabin layout is simple and straightforward, the five-speed manual transmission very slick and everything is well tuned to everyday driving.

Out on the road the Fiesta

has been performing exceptionally well. It feels solid, is very manoeuvrable and easy to park and the performance is more than adequate.

The only criticism is that the high slanting rear windows and headrests on the front seats create a blind spot on either side.

Otherwise it’s an easy car to live with. Only problem so far has been a punctured rear tyre.

THREE-DOOR versions of the updated VW Polo city car will arrive in Britain next January, costing from £9,435.

Volkswagen dealers are taking orders now for the Polo, whose five-door sibling is just

about to arrive in the UK. A five-door model costs from £10,035.

●

VAN and truck sales were given a temporary UK uplift in September thanks to the plate change, but the light commercials

market is still fragile, with overall 2009 sales down 37.9% so far on the previous year. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders chief executive, Paul Everitt, says this temporary boost “does not yet signal an end to

the severe impact of the recession”.

●

THE AA says deer are often on the move at dusk during October, doubling the likelihood of hitting one. More than 42,000 collisions with the

animals were reported last year, and AA Insurance statistics show the average claim for a deer strike tops £1,400 - amounting to some £59m per year.

£10,900 you ● WITH can buy a snazzy

new Smart model, the Fortwo Edition Highstyle. This special version of the 999cc city runabout will be limited to 215 models, most of them with 71bhp output, but 33 will have slightly pricier 84bhp units. All versions are

skinned in trendy chocolate brown metallic paint, and get 12-spoke, 15-inch alloy wheels, plus aluminiumlook logos. The audio and satnav system is from Pioneer, and offers Bluetooth, iPod and USB connection.
