U
nveiled at the Geneva Motor Show earlier in the year, the Hyundai Veloster coupe is scheduled to be launched on the UK market in February 2012. Presumably it will also become available on the Irish market around the same time.
As shown in Geneva, the Veloster had two front doors and a single rear door on the right hand side. While that is perfectly acceptable on cars with left hand drive, it will be interesting to see if this is modified for cars with right hand drive. For obvious safety reasons, cars with right hand
drive should have their single rear door on the left hand side. Power is provided by a 1.6 litre, turbocharged, direct injection petrol engine, delivering 103 kW. It comes as standard with a six speed manual gearbox, but buyers will have the option of a six
speed dual clutch automatic/manual transmission. A special Blue Drive version, will also be offered. This version comes as standard with automatic Stop/Start and low rolling resistance tyres, in the interests of improved fuel
economy. Exhaust emissions for the Blue Drive are said to be 137 gm/km, putting this model in Irish road tax band B, while models without the Blue Drive technology registered 145 gm/km with the dual clutch transmission and 148 gm/km with the manual six speed gearbox. Both thus fall into Irish road tax band C. Two trim and specification levels will be offered; Veloster and Veloster Sport. The Sport version has a panoramic glass sunroof and comes with black leather upholstery. However, a red leather interior will be available as an option. All versions come as standard with a seven inch, touch screen media centre, Bluetooth telephone facilities and reversing sensors. Veloster trim specification comes with 17” diameter alloy wheels, while Veloster Sport models have 18” diameter wheels with colour inserts.

“I can without hesitation recommend this latest Volkswagen Jetta” his latest Volkswagen Jetta is a spacious, comfortable, good looking family saloon, with a decent sized luggage space and an impressive overall performance. It is also extremely pleasant to drive, both in an urban environment and out in the countryside. Its ride and roadholding are excellent. Family cars need to be versatile and adaptable. Besides offering a commendably large luggage space of 0.510 cubic metres, it will also carry up to 75 kg in a suitable container on the roof and tow a braked trailer or caravan of up to 1405 kg, or an unbraked trailer of up to 650 kg.
T ROAD TEST By KEVIN FENIX www.twincam.ie
In this day and age of financial stringency, operating costs are an important consideration. The Jetta 1.6 TDI has an urban cycle fuel consumption of 49 mpg (5.7 lt/100 km), that stretches to an amazing 72 mpg (3.9 lt/100 km) on the extra urban cycle and averages 62 mpg (4.5 lt/100 km) on the combined cycle. That level of consumption gives an exhaust emissions reading of 119 gm/km, placing the Jetta in Irish road tax band A, with an
annual burden, at current rates, of €104. That has to be good news for any family motorist in these difficult times. One of the great pleasures of driving this Jetta, was observing how extremely slowly the fuel level gauge moved from full towards empty. This frugal fuel consumption does not come at the expense of performance. Top speed is said to be 190 kph (118 mph), while acceleration from 0-100 kph takes just

11.7 seconds. That is more than satisfactory for most family saloons. The instruments and driving controls are laid out for comfort and ease of use. The instrument binnacle contains two large round analogue dials. Both have black faces, with white lettering and red highlights. The tachometer is on the left with the upper engine speed range from 5,000 rpm - 6,000 rpm highlighted in red. contd. on page 6

contd. from page 4
In the bottom centre of the tachometer there is a small round gauge showing the fuel level. The large right hand gauge is the speedometer and it has a matching small round gauge in its lower centre showing the engine temperature. Between the two large round dials there is a rectangular, digital information panel, that shows a variety of different information like the time, outside air temperature, total mileage, trip distance, door open or not properly closed etc. The radio/CD player is in the top of the centre console, below the two air vents. There are further audio related controls for the system including the Bluetooth telephone facilities
on the two horizontal arms of the steering wheel. Below the audio panel there are the various controls for the air conditioning. A rotary switch on the lower right hand side of the facia, between the steering wheel and driver’s door looks after the headlamps and foglamps, while the driver’s door armrest has the buttons for the four electric windows. The driver’s door has the controls for the electrically
adjustable, exterior rear view mirrors. All are easy to see and reach whilst driving. The left hand stalk looks after the direction indicators as well as the main and dipped beams, while the right hand stalk operates the wipers and washers. The test car was fitted the optional extra, Park Distance Control and it certainly makes parking in tight spaces a lot easier. Besides the sound warnings, the digital panel between the two main analogue dials, shows an outline of the car and the relative distances between the car and possible obstructions when parking. It is very useful indeed. The driver’s seat adjusts for reach, height and backrest angle. The leather covered steering wheel has a high quality premium feel
and adjusts for both reach and height. It is geared to give three turns from lock to lock. The electrically power assisted rack and pinion steering has a firm positive feel at all times, be it out on the open road or manoeuvring in tight spaces. The large well shaped, exterior rear view mirrors give a good view along both sides, which together with the optional Park Distance Control makes manoeuvring in confined spaces so much easier. The gearlever falls conveniently to hand and has a smooth yet positive action for all gears. The front passenger seat also adjusts for reach, height and backrest angle. Both front seats are superbly comfortable. The rear bench seat is divided 60/40 in the backrest. While the two outer positions are comfortable for adults, the centre section is firmer and higher in the cushion, so while it is suitable for children, it is less comfortable for adults. The centre section of the backrest has a fold down armrest, that has a fitting designed to hold two cups. The two outer positions have ISOfix fittings for child safety seats. All five seating positions have three point lap and shoulder seat belts and adjustable head restraints. When additional luggage space is needed, or when awkward items of luggage have to be accommodated, the seat backrest can be lowered in sections onto the seat cushion. Overall I was very impressed with this new Volkswagen Jetta. It has a good solid well built feel. Its ride and roadholding are

1.6 TDCi Zetec Saloon
ROAD TEST By KEVIN FENIX www.twincam.ie
T
his third generation Focus has a lot going for it. First of all the test car was painted red, my favourite colour for cars, so it got off to a good start. Then I found the exterior styling to be very attractive, so that was another point in its favour. Admittedly it did have a few initial difficulties to overcome, in that it was powered by Ford’s 1.6 litre TDCi diesel engine, which was not nearly as smooth and silent in operation as the 2.0 litre TDCi diesel in the Ford C-Max I was testing the previous week. Then the Focus’s suspension was a lot harder than that velvety smooth ride provided by the C-Max, but as time passed I acclimatised myself to the Focus surroundings and by the end of the test period I was more than happy with it. The 1.6 TDCi engine was comparatively modestly tuned, delivering just 70 kW with 230 Nm of torque. The advantage was that it provided an excellent fuel consumption for a roomy family car, with an Urban cycle consumption of 55 mpg (5.1 lt/100 km), stretching to an outstanding 76 mpg (3.7 lt/100 km) on the Extra urban cycle and averaging 67 mpg (4.2 lt/100 km) on the
Combined cycle. That frugal level of consumption translated into an exhaust emissions rating of 109 gm/km, putting the car comfortably into Irish road tax band A, with an annual charge, at current rates, of €104 . All of that has to be good news for any family motorist in these difficult times. Looking at another aspect of performance, top speed is said to be 182 kph (113 mph),
which is well above the national speed limit in most European countries, while its 0-100 kph acceleration time is 12.6 seconds. That too is more than satisfactory for what is basically a well conceived family car. Certainly on the road, it never felt lethargic or underpowered. The test car was finished and equipped to Zetec specifications, but it had some
14 MotorMarket
optional extras fitted, like Active Park Assist, Bluetooth mobile telephone facilities and privacy glass on the rear and rear side windows. The parking assist is a wonderful advantage and makes parking in tight spaces, or reversing into and out of driveways so much easier. contd. on page 16

Automatic Stop/Start is fitted as standard and is a great help in achieving the excellent fuel consumption and corresponding low exhaust emissions. The two exterior rear view mirrors are a sensible size and shape, allowing them to give a good view down each side of the car. They are
electrically adjustable from the driver’s seat and fold in automatically when the engine is switched off and the central locking activated. Electric power assisted steering, also helps to reduce energy consumption. The steering is geared to give a very positive 2.5 turns from lock to lock, yet it never feels heavy or
difficult to use. I was rather surprised to find that drum brakes are still used at the rear, but overall the servo assisted, dual circuit brakes, always provided a reassuring feel. The system works in conjunction with the electronic stability programme, that includes traction control. It has anti-
lock, electronic brakeforce distribution and emergency brake assist. In the expected manner, ventilated discs are used at the front. The test car was fitted with very attractive twenty spoke, cast alloy, seventeen inches diameter alloy wheels. The spare wheel was a pressed steel Spacesaver of sixteen inches diameter. The spare was stored under the luggage floor, while the jack and tools were in a polystyrene holder under the spare wheel. Under the luggage floor carpet, around the spare wheel, there is a polystyrene tray divided into sections, that is suitable for storing small items, that might otherwise roll around on the floor. In its normal guise, the boot provides 0.421 cubic metres of luggage space. The rear seat backrest is divided 60/40 and the backrest can be folded in sections to provide additional space for long items. However, as the backrests merely drop onto the cushions, they do not provide a level extension to the normal luggage floor and the bulkhead between the boot and passenger compartment, has a very low opening, so additional space is very limited. Towing capacity is 670 kg for unbraked trailers and 1200 kg for braked trailers or caravans. Roof loading is probably limited to 75 kg. From a driving point of view, the instruments and controls are well laid out for comfort and ease of use. The main instrument binnacle, behind the steering wheel,

the audio related and other equipment. Switches for the headlamps and headlamp levelling, are on the lower side of the facia, below the air vent on the right hand side, between the steering column and the driver’s door. The driver’s door armrest has the controls for the four electric windows and the adjustments for the exterior rear view mirrors. The steering wheel can be adjusted for both reach and height. The driver’s seat adjusts for reach, height, backrest angle and lumbar support. The front passenger sear adjusts for reach and backrest angle. Both front seats are well shaped and comfortable. The rear seat is comfortable for the two outer positions, which also have ISOfix fittings for child safety seats. The centre section is harder and flatter, making it less comfortable for an adult, but it should be fine for children and young teenagers. Naturally all seats have three point lap and shoulder seat belts and adjustable headrests. The rear seat backrest is divided 60/40 so it can be adapted to carry both passengers and longer loads.

ROAD USERS:
“Are you ready for winter?”
s winter is nearly upon us, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is asking road users to make sure they are ready for winter road conditions. Noel Brett, Chief Executive said “Driving during the winter months creates a multitude of different challenges with more hours of darkness and poorer weather conditions. Extreme weather is also a particular hazard at this time which can range from freezing fog, gale force winds, heavy rain, flooding and ice and snow”. He urged drivers to service their vehicles and check them to ensure they are ready for the winter ahead. “Drivers should consider servicing their vehicle to make sure it is fit and safe for winter driving. A few simple precautions can ensure the safety of you and your family on the roads this winter. Don’t get caught out if severe weather strikes again, I would urge everyone to make the necessary checks on your vehicle now.” Mr. Brett added: “The key this winter is to slow down and remain a safe distance behind the car in front of you. Using dipped headlights too during the daytime will make it easier for other road users to see you, so don’t wait for darkness.” Pedestrians and cyclists were also encouraged to get ready for winter. “To be safe on the roads at winter a pedestrian or cyclists must be seen. That means ensuring the lights on the bike are working properly and using a torch when out walking. A high-visibility jacket is also an essential piece of clothing which will ensure you stand out in traffic. Pedestrians are also reminded to use footpaths where provided, if there is not footpath walk facing oncoming traffic and never walk on a dual carriageway or
A
motorway - use pedestrian crossings where provided. There are a number of simple precautions the RSA advises for driving over the winter months: ● Use your lights. As we come into the winter months, motorists are advised to use dipped headlights during the day so you are easily seen. Headlights and taillights should be clean and in working order. Ensure the beam on your headlights is adjusted correctly to avoid dazzling other drivers unnecessarily. Only use foglights in foggy conditions and don’t forget to turn them off after they have been used in fog and mist. ● Check your tyres…they are your only contact with the road. Car tyres should be above the minimum legal thread depth of 1.6mm but need to be changed before they get this worn. The RSA advises replacing tyres when they reach 3mm and don’t buy secondhand tyres as you cannot be sure of its history. The legal limit for motorcycle tyres is 1mm and again should be replaced before they get this worn. Tyres need to be at the manufacturers recommended level to give the motorist the best chance in extreme conditions. ● Safe Distance. It takes longer to stop a car during the winter weather so slow down and allow extra distance between you and the car in front. Remember, only a fool breaks the 2 second rule! ● Understand your brakes. Check your car manual and find out if your vehicle has safety assist technology such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). Learn how these technologies can assist your driving in harsh weather conditions.
● Make sure you can clearly see. All too often motorists do not de-fog or de-ice windows and mirrors which can compromise visibility. This winter make sure windows and mirrors are clear, and carry a de-icer and screen scraper in the car. Do not use boiling water as this can crack the windscreen. Wipers are especially important for driving this winter; they need to be checked for wear and tear, and replaced if necessary. ● Be prepared. During these winter months it is advised that motorists carry a number of essentials in the boot of their car, should severe weather strike again this year. a) High visibility vest; b) Appropriate footwear in case you need to leave your vehicle e.g. boots; c) A hazard warning triangle; d) Spare wheel; e) Tow Rope; f) A shovel; g) De-icing equipment (for glass and door locks); h) Spare bulbs; i) First aid kit; j) A fire extinguisher; k) A working torch; l) A car blanket, additional clothing & some food and water; m) It’s recommend that drivers keep their fuel tanks topped up especially in times of adverse weather conditions! You do not want to run out of fuel on a journey in bad weather. ● In the event of a breakdown. Drivers need to ensure their vehicle is well in off the road so as not to obstruct other vehicles. The driver should also put on their hazard warning lights. If the vehicle breaks down on
MotorMarket
the motorway pull in as far as you can, alerting traffic behind you with hazard lights. The driver should leave their vehicle, get behind the barrier (on the embankment) and call the Gardaí, on their mobile phone or roadside telephone. ● Beware of ‘Black Ice’. Black Ice is one of winter’s biggest hazards as it is difficult to see. Watch out for sheltered/ shaded areas on roads, under trees and near high walls. ● And most importantly, Keep up to date. Listen to local weather and traffic reports. Pay heed to the weather warnings alerting drivers of unsafe and dangerous driving conditions. The Road Safety Authority has set up a special section on its website www.rsa.ie to provide the public with information on using the road safely in the event of extreme weather conditions. For further information please see RSA Severe Weather Advice. Road users can also get up-to-date information and be informed of any Road Safety Alerts issued by the RSA by following them on Facebook (Road Safety Authority Ireland) and Twitter RSAIreland.
