Water storage consultation underway u by Paul Campbell
Consultations with landowners and producers in the primary sector are underway to explore how to spend almost $13 million received from the Provincial Growth Fund to make water infrastructure in Kaipara and Northland more resilient to extreme weather events.

The Northland Regional Council is looking at options for potential major water storage projects in Kaipara and the mid-North, and as drought takes hold in the region, public information sessions have been held with experts discussing opportunities that exist within the horticulture sector. The PGF funding was announced in Kaipara last month, by Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters and Regional Development Minister, Shane Jones. The areas that could potentially be suitable for development are broadly in the south of Dargaville and an area surrounding Kaikohe, Ohaeawai and Waimate North in the mid-North. “The project will see a series of smallscale reservoirs be built in Kaipara and the mid-North that would collect and store water in times of plenty and then be able to deliver it through a network of pipes when needed for municipal and productive use,“ says NRC project development manager, Andrew Carvell With meetings held in Dargaville and the mid-north this week as Lifestyler went to press, local horticulturalists said the public information sessions were a transformational experience for some landowners. “Access to water is currently a major limiting factor for many Northland communities, and we are seeing the effects of water shortages across the region right now. Without access to a reliable source of water, your options for farming or growing are pretty limited

really, but once people see what’s possible when water is available, I think they’ll be quite inspired,” grower, Carl Muller said. “A hectare of land in sustainable horticulture can return significantly more than one supporting pastoral farming. You can bring positive change to entire communities by giving people the opportunity to do more with their land.” Oturei farmer Dennis Te Tuhi currently runs a 40-hectare sheep and beef farm south of Dargaville. “We have good soils for horticulture, but as we’re finding out right now, we’re
vulnerable to mother nature if it doesn’t rain. This water storage scheme would mean I could have confidence that any investment made to develop it would not be wasted.” Mr Carvell added that while primarily designed to support horticulture, the scheme would also be available to assist existing municipal water supplies and greatly reduce the exposure to domestic water restrictions such as those in place in parts of Northland at present. Any potential project must also provide positive environmental benefits. ¢

Fundraising for the Riverview Rest Home’s dementia unit gets a boost with tickets selling fast for the Dahlias for Dementia house and garden tour of Kaipara homes on the weekend of February 22–23, despite the dry weather.

p Kaipara Mayor Jason Smith and Paparoa Community Charitable Trust chair Graham Taylor break ground at the dawn ceremony
“Twin Streams — Wai Oranga Rua is the most significant residential development in Paparoa since the early settlement days. Its impact will be felt far into the future and could possibly initiate further developments,” said trust chair, Graham Taylor. “It could be that Paparoa’s time has come.” He was joined by Kaipara Mayor Jason Smith in turning the first sod, following a blessing by Matua Hone and Whaea Hazel, and said the project dated from “some 12 years when a group of Paparoa residents with a vision walked over this very piece of ground and thought that it would be an excellent site for a retirement village. “They saw what had been achieved in Maungaturoto to retain elderly people as
part of the community and saw the lack of such an amenity in Paparoa.“ Mr Taylor said since receiving resource consent to subdivide in December last year the trust has agreements for 14 of the 29 lots. “We are also confident that the construction activity commencing shortly, will generate continued interest.” “Whilst it is not a full-blown retirement village of bricks and mortar in the accepted model, it is the realisation of a vision of enabling our senior residents to remain within our community where they can continue to contribute their wisdom and expertise in a village atmosphere. As a corollary to the senior lifestyle village, we have also created 15 larger lots, which will contribute to the general increase in residential opportunities in Paparoa.” ¢
The tour covers 20 properties and includes the home of former High Commissioner to London, Sir Lockwood Smith, and the long-established gardens at Totara House in Matakohe, home of the late Mavis Smith, who was a renowned dahlia enthusiast and show competitor. The property is now vested in The Kauri Museum. However, the dry summer has caused anxious moments for the tour organisers. Maungaturoto’s Karen Smales who was a prime mover of the event says gardeners have been doing their best to keep gardens watered. “We all doing our best to
keep plants alive and gardens in good condition,” she said. “Gardening folk, of course, are aware of conditions and are aware that it’s often a work in progress. So they appreciate ideas and can also see the progress and the potential involved.” Tickets are $50, and are on sale at Fergus Appliances in Maungaturoto and Bayleys Real Estate in Dargaville, and also available online at alzheimersnorthland.org.nz/events/ dahlias-for-dementia/. “People can take the garden tour at their own pace during the two days,” said Karen. ¢

Biggest militaria and gun show ever
Quartet celebrate gallery expansion u by Andy Bryenton
Last Wednesday the Mangawhai Artist’s Moir St Gallery went from being two buildings to one larger, expanded space and a new exhibition was in place, with four local artists displaying their latest works together.
p Record-breaking numbers of locals gathered in Dargaville’s Hokianga Road community hall to examine a collection of military antiques and historical firearms from eras as disparate as the wild west and the battlefields of the second world war. Organisers were thrilled that patrons came to share the history on display, honouring New Zealand’s soldiers from days past as well as showcasing the fascinating technology used for hunting and sports shooting, from the humble musket to vintage Bren and Lewis machineguns.
Correction In the Kaipara Lifestyler issue of February 11, the Northland Regional Council was mistakenly reported as being part of the Kia Kaha Northland campaign. In fact, the campaign has been launched and promoted by the mayors of Kaipara, Far North and Whangarei councils, acting as private citizens. The campaign has no formal NRC or other council oversight. The error is regretted.
By Friday, February 14, artists Pauline Mann, Cheryl Mitchell, Samantha Minnery and Deva Prem premiered their collective exhibition Quartet — Four artists, Four instruments, One music. The Mangawhai Artists Incorporated committee proudly launched the supersized exhibition, commenting on the varied influences of these four local creative talents, two who work with glass and two with more traditional twodimensional media. “Pauline continues her journey of light and darkness in glass, while Samantha’s affinity with glass is one of resonance, emanating light with majestic elegance and shimmering grace. p Artist Samantha Minnery is just one of four “Cheryl loves trees and water local creators featured in Mangawhai’s new and using her creativity to depict Quartet exhibition scenes from nature, while Deva is still obsessed with pouring acrylics to until February 26, free to the public at create flowing, almost fractal forms.” 45 Moir Street, Mangawhai between The Quartet will be on display through 10am and 4pm daily. ¢

An iconic landmark on Whakapirau’s waterfront has been given a new lease of life after years in the doldrums following its former role as a dairy factory, a dance hall and an oyster opening plant.
p Whakapirau’s former dairy and oyster plant will be a luxury holiday hideaway
The building has been bought by Waiheke Island hotelier, Jonathon Scott, to be turned into a luxury holiday home. “It’s something pretty special, and after living on Waiheke for years, Whakapirau is a place that reminds me of what Waiheke was long ago, before the extensive development of today,” said, Jonathon Scott, who owns The Boatshed boutique hotel at Oneroa on the island. “I’ll be happy to share more technical details of the project when we open the doors,” said Mr Scott. “I know a lot of local people will be interested, and it has been completely rebuilt on the inside.
“It will be my holiday home and could be available for holiday rentals as well.” The building was constructed on the beach from kauri timber set on concrete piles alongside the wharf and opened as the North Kaipara Cooperative Dairy factory in 1904, closing in 1916. The building became a public hall, and there are contemporary accounts of Saturday night dances although the ‘dance floor’ was sloped as it was built for easy washing down. Thereafter, the building history is vague, with its use for processing oysters and then with a series of different owners. ¢

Olympian fulfils Robin’s wish u by Andy Bryenton
Nearly 40 years ago, Robin Branch, a Dargaville resident wanting to improve the town’s recreational opportunities, came up with the idea of a BMX bike park.
MUDDY
“Use it or possibly lose it” — that’s the message from the organisers of Dargaville’s after school and holiday programme, as dwindling numbers threaten its existence this year.
p Cornerstone’s trained staff are here to help with after school care, but the numbers need to come up to preserve this vital programme
p Olympic level BMX rider turned track designer Trent Jones is in Dargaville to help fulfil a 40 year legacy for the town
Robin’s dream, which has become his legacy since his passing, takes shape at Selwyn Park, thanks to Olympic athlete Trent Jones and a team of local organisations, businesses and individuals. Part of the group who worked alongside Robin on previous attempts to construct the bike part, Trevor Moss is full of praise for all those who have taken part in the design and construction process and provided moral and practical support. “It will be the Robin Branch memorial track,” he says. “It’s the culmination of many people’s hard work. When this is finished, it will be an asset to the town for people of all ages, on all kinds of wheels.” Robin gave money toward his vision, some of which was put into the

development of Dargaville’s successful Sportsville complex. Trevor says that while that facility is more focussed on team-based, structured sports, the Selwyn Park area has a more freestyle atmosphere. Operating the digger right now onsite is Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games contender Trent Jones, now a worldrenowned designer of BMX tracks. Trent says that he’s been working hard to incorporate the lines of the neighbouring skate park with the ‘pump’ style bike track now taking shape. Visitors to the park may have seen his piles of raw materials, digger and compactor behind an orange fence as the work commences. A big part of it is having an eye for how it will ride, says Trent. ¢
Cornerstone Children’s Services, who operate the programme each school day from 3pm to 6pm, say that without demand, there can be no supply. It would jeopardise the afterschool care of those children currently enrolled in the programme, which looks after 5 to 13-year-olds whose parents are otherwise engaged with work after school hours. Cornerstone programme director Lorin Hona says that one of the big barriers appears to be a lack of knowledge about the programme and what it offers. “We can help pick up kids from other schools to bring them to Dargaville Primary School for Cornerstone, where
we provide a healthy afternoon snack and supervision. It’s not a totally structured environment like school itself, but we do offer fun activities, such as games, sports, baking, crafts and art. There’s even a homework club where kids can sort out homework questions before they get picked up by mum and dad.” With many families now having both parents working, the after school programme, with its very low pricing to attend, was predicted to be over utilised. Instead, numbers are low, despite the ability for parents and caregivers to access a subsidy from the MSD. ¢

Northpower Pricing – Key changes for 2020/2021 We collect the money we need to run our electricity network, and maintain and upgrade our assets through lines prices charged to retailers. Retailers then decide how and what they want to charge consumers. We’ve just set the prices which we will charge retailers for 2020/2021. The total revenue we expect to collect from retailers is about the same as last year (despite some of our costs having gone up). Prices for 34,000 residential low user connections (usually best for consumers who use < 8,000kWh p.a.) will not be increased for the 4th year in a row! Average lines charges for 12,000 residential standard connections (usually best for consumers who use > 8,000kWh p.a.) will decrease by 9% if retailers move the connection to our new DM7 plan. This has a higher daily charge and lower variable charge, which should help to reduce the cost of electricity for large, high use households. Business connections will have an increase to the daily fixed price, and a reduction to the variable (per kWh) price. This reflects the fixed cost nature of running the network and also helps to reduce total energy costs for businesses that are needing to use more electricity. On average, the increase in lines charges for most business connections is around 1%. We will pay a distribution charge discount for the benefit of electricity consumers connected to our network, of $192 + GST (for most consumers) in November or December this year. See our pricing disclosure for more details. We recommend that you check with your retailer to ensure that you’re on the best plan for your household or business, particularly if you’re a residential consumer using more than 8,000kWh p.a. Or you can check powerswitch.org.nz to make sure you are getting the best deal.
Time of Use Pricing We’ve introduced Time of Use pricing for residential and business consumers with communicating smart meters, from 1 April 2020. Time of Use pricing has different charges depending on the time of day that electricity is used. This is because electricity networks are a bit like roads, in that they can get congested at times of the day when everyone wants to use them. When networks get congested, we then have to invest to accommodate this increase in peak demand. We’re getting these pricing structures set up for the future, when there is likely to be more demand on our network at peak times. For example, when electric vehicles become more common and drivers all want to charge their cars when they get home from work. At the moment the Time of Use prices largely reflect existing pricing, but in the future these prices will signal that it costs more to consume electricity at peak times (mornings and evenings) and that if you can shift consumption to off-peak times (like charging your EV overnight) we can reduce the cost of upgrades and share the benefit with you through lower prices. Retailers can choose if and how they pass these charges on to you. If you want to find out more about our network pricing go to northpower.com/electricity/pricing

Distribution Charge Discount 1. In the year commencing 1 April 2020, Northpower Limited will provide a discount for the benefit of Northpower consumers totalling an estimated $10.3m. This will be a discount on Northpower’s distribution charges and the amount which each consumer receives for each eligible ICP will be determined by the consumption notified to Northpower by the electricity retailers for the 12-month period to 30 September 2020 in two bands as follows: • Eligible ICPs with consumption exceeding 2,000 kWh will receive a single discount of $192. • Eligible ICPs with consumption between 1 kWh and 2,000 kWh will receive a single discount of $55. 2. To qualify as an eligible ICP, an ICP must be supplied from the Northpower electricity network with a registry status of “Active” (Connected) on 1 November 2020, have a current customer of an electricity retailer on that date, and the net consumption advised by the electricity retailers to Northpower for the 12-month period to 30 September 2020 for the ICP must be 1 kWh or greater. 3. Discounts will be applied via a credit on the electricity bill from the current electricity retailer during November 2020 or December 2020.

KAIPARA SPOTLIGHT Big dry is affecting gravel roads Kaipara’s gravel roads are being affected by this summer’s big dry, and the effects will last until the end of the drought at least, says Northland Transport Alliance Manager Calvin Thomas.
“This year the ground is so dry that the gravel and clay underneath can’t bond. “If we grade the road at this time of the year the gravel we bring in from the sides of the roads digs out the underlying road surface, increasing corrugations and pot-holes. “Very quickly, loose gravel moves to the sides of the roads, leaving a bare patch in the middle. At the first hint of rain that area softens up and before the surface can be metalled up or graded, potholes form. “Cutting deeper to remove pot holes while the road
Kaipara Horizons Committee Tues 10 Mar, 9:30am Dargaville Town Hall is dry does more damage to the road, only makes a difference for a few days, and usually causes an increase in complaints,” he said. “We need rain. When we get it and the soil moisture increases, the crews can renew unsealed roads properly. “In the meantime, the ‘drive to the conditions’ message applies to summer’s dry times as well as to winter’s wet slippery conditions. “Drivers need to being aware that dust can hamper visibility, roads can have bumps and lumps, gravel can pile up and cause hazards, driving may need to be slower and more time may need to be allowed. People need to plan ahead, be prepared and drive safely. “It is enormously frustrating, but we ask people to bear with us while we do the best we can.”
Big dry set to continue. We’ve had another dry week and there isn’t much on the horizon, we’re asking you to look at how you are managing and conserving water. Is there more you could do? We know most people and business are doing their bit to reduce the water they use. Repurposing shower water, dishwater and using the half flush on a toilet all help. Did you know the average washing machine uses around 100 litres of water? If you can, catch the water to use on your garden, or to clean your car. At this time, every drip counts. Check taps inside and out aren’t leaking, and ensure you’re not letting water run when it doesn’t need to. Remember too that a full fire restriction is in place through most of the country. You cannot light fires of any kind.
Meeting Schedule
Council Briefing Wed 04 Mar, 9:30am Mangawhai Club
“We will assess every situation and make a call about what repairs we can do if any, but our options are very limited because of the dry conditions.
“When there is moisture grading creates a relatively long-wearing surface that can last until the next scheduled maintenance. When the conditions are right, regular grading and topping up of the gravel keeps the road in good order.
Please note locations and times are subject to change, check website for most up to date information
Council Meeting Wed 26 Feb, 9:30am Mangawhai Club
“The ground is so dry that we can’t grade the roads to remove corrugations and pot holes, and we share the community’s frustrations. We ask people to be patient, drive to the conditions and to keep reporting dangerous areas to us.
“We rely on a level of ground moisture to bond graded gravel with the road’s sub surface, but at the moment there is just no moisture there.

Off-roaders support choppers
A century of heritage on the field
From the Kaipara to the Hokianga and beyond, the Northland Rescue Helicopter service does an incredible job, saving lives and responding fast in medical emergencies. This summer, the Kauri Coast 4WD Club is planning to give back to these rescue heroes, by organising an off-road safari fundraiser.
u by Andy Bryenton
Club spokesperson Ron McCloy of Waimamaku says that it’s a chance to show some support and respect for the chopper crews, as well as a chance to take in some not-often-seen scenery in one of the most picturesque parts of the nation. It’s the sixth time that the club has hosted such an event. “It is a safari run, so it’s suitable for all levels of vehicle and driver,” he says. “The best part is travelling with a group of people who know the area, and being allowed to travel across private farmland with beautiful views and vistas, that, otherwise, you could never access.” The two-day event begins on March 14, after a night spent at the Kauri Coast Top 10 Holiday Park. Day one features a drive through Waipoua Forest
on the road followed by an off-road day in the Hokianga. Sunday takes in the full stretch of the mighty Ripiro coast, from the bluff to Pouto Point and its iconic lighthouse. Along the way, the club will visit locales usually off-limits to the general public, and there will be fun challenges and prizes for entrants. Ron says that there are still spaces available for those with a sense of adventure, a 4x4 with a WOF and registration, and a desire to get up close and personal with the great outdoors. All proceeds from entrance fees go toward fundraising for the Northland Rescue Helicopter. Give Ron or club secretary Chrissy McCloy a call on 09 405 8316 or email ron.chrissymccloy@gmail.com for more information. ¢
This year marks the centennial of New Zealand’s national game in Northland, with rugby clubs all across the region celebrating a legacy of sporting comradeship, excellence and community involvement. A special game will be played in Dargaville to commemorate this milestone, with a specially selected centenary team facing an invitational side from the NZ Vikings Rugby Football Club. “2020 is going to be a big year for the Northland Rugby Union as we celebrate 100 years of provincial rugby here in Northland,” says organising subcommittee chair Phil Halse. “We are a very proud union and this celebration will enable us to relive great moments and to lament some less so, and to rekindle great friendships. Please spread the word as we would like as many of you as possible to attend, it has taken us 100 years to get here!” The special match will be held on Friday, March 6 from 6.30pm to 8pm at Dargaville’s Pioneer Rugby Park.

Grey Power Federation has a very powerful lobby group that meets regularly with ministers of the Crown and heads of government departments. Some of the many excerpts from the lobby group are reported in the latest Grey Power magazine: Office for Seniors. There is improved information for members regarding the process involved in the reassessment of residential care subsidies. The Ministry of Social Development is continuing on converting the SuperGold card to a smart card. ACC is now working on making form-filling easier. Grey Power has achieved the recognition of retirement village residents as ratepayers, thus getting entitlement to apply for a rates rebate.

RETIREMENT Ageing population at core of election issues u by Andy Bryenton
Healthcare, aged care and the cost of living in retirement are all set to become major talking points on the campaign trail this year, as an ageing population may hold the balance of power at the ballot box. Citizens more than the age of 65 are more likely to turn out to vote in general elections, and according to Statistics NZ, they take a more active role in discussing and contemplating political decisions. “Older people were more likely than younger people to have a very high interest in politics, with a higher selfassessed rate of understanding, how the government makes decisions. Of those aged 65 years and over, 15 per cent rated their interest in politics as very high, compared with 7 per cent of
those aged 15 to 24,” says a report on the last general election in 2017. Since then, the proportion of Kiwis above 65 has increased. What does this mean for our prospective parliamentarians? One message that has been heard loud and clear is that altering the retirement age is potentially damaging to a party’s hopes for popularity. Incumbent Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern famously said that she ‘would resign’ before raising the age of entitlement, and last year before parliament broke up a war of words
between National leader Simon Bridges and New Zealand First leader Winston Peters cast the issue in the spotlight. Peters criticised National’s stated plan to increase the retirement age to 67, beginning with 6-month increments from 2037, saying: “They increased Labour’s superannuation surtax in 1990, after promising to abolish it, no ifs, no buts, no maybes. National was responsible for lowering the New Zealand Superannuation rate from 65 per cent to 60 per cent of the average ordinary time weekly wage.” National is sticking by their plan to slowly increase
the retirement age. It was also noted that the PM had advocated raising the super age to 67 while in opposition. Another pair of hot topics will come with a referendum attached to this year’s election in September. Older people have polled consistently in support of medicinal cannabis, but recent polls also suggest that above 65s are the only age demographic who tend to oppose full legalisation, despite the efforts of procannabis lobbyists such as local voices from Otamatea Grey Power. Tellingly, in a Horizon poll of more than 1,000 adult New Zealanders on whether or not they

RETIREMENT would try medicinal cannabis — were it widely available. Overall, 34% answered ‘definitely’, ‘most likely’ or ‘somewhat likely’ equating to a possible maximum market potential of 1,058,900 citizens. An even more contentious issue for the elderly is that of euthanasia, with concerns about end of life care and the ethics of doctor’s assistance in ‘death with dignity’ at the fore of the debate. 2019 Colmar Brunton and Reid Research polls put the numbers who support euthanasia in very controlled circumstances, for the terminally ill and suffering, at more than 70 per cent. Meanwhile, older citizens themselves cite social services such as law and order and healthcare as being of primary importance, along with the maintenance of superannuation payments with regard to soaring rents (up 25 per cent in some areas since 2009) and background inflation. Like increasing the retirement age, asset testing for super eligibility is a minefield topic for political parties. While many of us agree that top earners and those with vast assets do not need the pension, the counterargument that it is the reward for a lifetime of work and taxation is similarly compelling. At the same time, asset testing of another nature is a topic of contention for those who require residential care,

with a subsidy to cover the full cost of retirement home or hospital living open only to those with assets totalling less than $230,495. Criteria for gifting assets, including the family home, have been tightened up to ensure that nearly every other fiscal option must be exhausted before the government step in to assist. Right now, close to 17 per cent of the population is above 65.
That’s projected to top out at 25 per cent, a full quarter, by the middle of this century. Caring for, providing for, and housing these numbers of older people is a challenge very much on the minds of those who want to be our political leaders post-September 2020. All parties predict an election, and twin referenda, where the voice of the older generation is loudly heard. ¢

SPOTLIGHT ON
KAIWAKA
A classic Kiwi story for the ages u by Andy Bryenton
A century ago, in 1920, a novel was published that would become a New Zealand classic, even though it found a more appreciative audience in Britain and the United States than it did with a morally critical audience at home. It was Jane Mander’s masterpiece, The Story of a New Zealand River, and the river referred to was the one, which flows through modern-day Kaiwaka. Mander herself attended school in Kaiwaka during the turn of the 20th century, and went on to not only work for the still-extant Northern Advocate newspaper but also the Dargaville North Auckland Times, where she was editor. She moved to New York in 1912 to study at Columbia University, and during her tenure as a nurse in the first world war, she wrote what has become known as a masterful women’s view of colonial life. In the novel, fictional emigree Alice Roland travels to Pukekaroro (a real
mountain, just north of Kaiwaka), leaving behind ‘civilised’ Britain and bringing all her worldly possessions into the kauri forest. The joys and hardships of pioneering life are painted unflinchingly in Mander’s prose, from her frosty reunion with her husband to the travails of raising children in the isolation of a small settlement. Themes of love, freedom of expression and women’s empowerment made the novel hard to accept for some puritanical reviewers of its time, but it is now widely acclaimed as not just a New Zealand classic but an icon of women’s literature worldwide. In the book, the appearance of a piano, boated upriver after being transported

p A young Jane Mander, depicted here in 1890, attended school in Kaiwaka and used the area as the setting for her most famous novel
from England, forms a metaphor for the futility of carrying old-world ‘baggage’ into the Kiwi bush. This image is thought to have been the inspiration for the acclaimed Jane Campion movie The Piano, which features similar themes of colonial angst, isolation and the hard life of women in early New Zealand.
While Mander took some liberties with geography and population to impress upon the reader a sense of far-flung isolation, the places she talks about and the realistic quality she lends to her depiction of early Kaipara life make this a local tale, which has aged like a good wine. ¢

Response, ability and responsibility How do you improve on a car, which has been segment-defining worldwide for decades, holding the line against the incursion of countless crossover SUVs for the classic sedan shape? How do you top a vehicle that traces its roots back through the Sierra and Cortina badges to the very roots of Ford’s mid-sized range? Easy — you add electricity. The Hybrid Mondeo is well and truly here, offering fuel economy figures, which were once only in the realm of strange-looking eco-cars with bicycle wheels while still managing the most important magic trick of all. It looks, feels and drives like a ‘proper’ Mondeo. That is to say; it’s a reassuringly well balanced, comfortable spacious, discreetly well-appointed big fourdoor with kilometre-devouring highway manners fit for the longest drives. The fact that it sips petrol to deliver a frugal 25 kilometres of driving a litre of juice is just the icing on the cake. Certainly, the low rolling resistance tyres feel slightly different to those fitted to a petrol or diesel Mondeo, and there’s a bit of a boot space deficit compared to the gas models, as this is where the batteries live. These are small prices to pay for a hybrid that looks and feels as nonhybrid-like as possible. It doesn’t virtue signal ‘I’m saving the world’ with a kooky shape and massive eco badges. It just gets on with the job of using as little petroleum as possible to deliver a comfortable drive, switching between petrol and electric power so seamlessly that it’s hard to notice it happening. There are those who will opine that a diesel-powered Mondeo costs slightly more to run, but delivers a bit more pep, though this simply illustrates the point

p Hybrid Mondeo does all the ecologically sound, fuel-saving business while feeling and looking like a regular, comfortable mid-sized sedan
that what some folks are looking for is not necessarily in the ‘hybrid’ part of the name, but in the ‘Mondeo’ part. We’d counter than the lack of RUC faffing about, and the fact that the Mondeo is a comfy cruiser and not a track-attack weapon makes the hybrid a cut above. To finish, here’s a story about how quiet the Mondeo Hybrid is. When attempting to move one for a photo shoot recently, three first-time drivers attempted to turn the vehicle on, and, utterly taken in by its similarity to the usual Mondeo, all three were perplexed to hear no engine noise.
