Honda hatchbacksgo back to schoolWHEN it
comes tobuying a car,you want tomake sure
you’re getting the most fromyour money.
Usually when buying anew vehicle that means acombination of value formoney, great reliability anda fantastic drive.
Little wonder then thatHonda’s hatchbacks the Jazzand the Civic are so popular.Last year the Jazz was votedBritain’s best motoringinvestment by Parker’s, thepublisher of the famous carbuyer’s guide, while thepopularity and reliability ofthe Civic is renowned.
In fact, they’re so good todrive they are increasinglythe first choice for drivingschools and drivers whohave recently passed theirtests.
It’s not surprising theJazz and Civic are findinghomes with driving schoolsthough. These cars areversatile, spacious,economical and, above all,easy to drive.
Noticing this trend,Lookers Honda in Liverpoolhas decided to make thesecars even more enticing by
offering an exclusive‘driving school upgrade’ onthe Jazz and Civic.
The dealership will installHe-Man dual controls on thecars and give fixed priceservicing for four years/50,000 miles, all withLookers’ compliments.
A local Merseysidedriving school, The DrivingAcademy in Lydiate,recently purchased anumber of Honda Civics foruse with its learner drivers.No wonder, because thereare many features built-in tothe Civic and the Jazz toassist both learner andinstructor.
There are dashboardlights to tell the pupil whenthey should be changinggear; and there are lightswhich indicate whether apupil is driving in aneco-friendly manner, makingthe most of their fuel anddriving efficiently.
There’s also Honda’strademark superb, smoothgearbox; not to mentionlarge door mirrors andexcellent all-round visibility,which all help when makingthose tricky but essentialmanoeuvres.
The Jazz has beendesigned to be compact on
the outside yet spacious andversatile on the inside.
With its high drivingposition and large frontquarter windows, the Jazzoffers drivers andpassengers an ideal view oftheir surroundings – perfectfor the less confident driver.
It’s ideal for business usetoo, thanks to a combinationof sector-leading residualvalues, low servicing andmaintenance costs. This,coupled with economy from53.3mpg and CO2 emissionsfrom only 125g/km, all addsup to extremely low wholelife costs.
Both the Jazz and theCivic have an excellent onthe road record. In fact, theCivic was named the mostreliable car on UK roads,with Jazz coming top in itssector in a survey by FleetNews of 840,000 companycars.● Why not take a Jazz orCivic out for a test drive?Just call Claire Cowell,Honda corporate manager atLookers, on 07738 244 532, orcall in at the dealership onSefton Street, Liverpool, L85SN, 0151 709 8261.

Room,withaview–thenewMerivaTHE new Vauxhall
Meriva is set tobecome theRolls-Royce of compactpeople carriers, in
more ways than one. When itgoes on sale in July, thepopular model will not onlyboast a sleeker, sharper suit ofclothes but also become themost family-friendly car of itskind – and the reason hingeson the doors.
Instead of theforward-opening back doorsyou expect to find, these onesare rear-hinged and swingopen towards the tail of thecar.
Not only is entry and exitmuch easier, regardless ofpassenger size, but so too issecuring kids in child seats,an awkward job at the best oftimes.
Vauxhall can’t claim to befirst with this concept butwith the exception of theRolls-Royce Phantom andGhost, Meriva is the onlyproduction car to have reardoors that open independentlyfrom those in front.
But the versatility doesn’t
stop there. There’s alsoFlexRail, a three-tier storagesystem based on rails runningbetween the front and backseats in space freed up byVauxhall’s decision to use anelectronic parking brakeinstead of a handbrake.
The top track carries a flip-top box big enough to carryCDs while the lower one has astorage tray with cup holder.
Then there’s the FlexSpaceseating which allows the cabinto be transformed from a fiveto two-seat layout dependingon how much luggage space isneeded, and the outer rearseats can be moved forwards,backwards or even inwards.
And to highlight the sort ofattention to detail evident inthis car is the way the rearside window edges have beencut away to help youngchildren see out more easily.
Boot capacity is alsoimproved and you now get aparcel shelf that can bealtered to suit the size of loadwhile there’s also a concealed
lower stowage area. This isnot only a larger car than theoutgoing Meriva, but one thathas moved up a class.
Vauxhall says its maincompetitors are models likethe Ford C-MAX, Mercedes AClass five-door, Renault Scenicand Citroen C4 Picasso.
Certainly the Meriva is wellequipped to succeed in thiscompany. The new,cooler-looking car’s overall fitand finish is more in keepingwith upmarket stablemate theInsignia.
From launch there will be achoice of three 1.4-litre petrol
engines – the naturallyaspirated one produces 100PSand 46.3mpg, while the 120PSturbo should return the samefigure and 140PS turbo anofficial 42.2mpg.
The diesel line-upcomprises a 75PS 1.3-litreCDTi engine with fuelconsumption of 57.6mpg andemissions of just 129g/km plusa 100PS 1.7-litre CDTi, alsoavailable with a six-speed autotransmission, which is a firstin the Meriva range.
Early autumn will see a lowemissions ecoFLEX variantpowered by a 95PS 1.3-litre
CDTi unit and a 1.7 CDTi withsix-speed manual gearbox and130PS joining the party.
Both the turbochargedpetrol models were availablefor test and were rewarding todrive with ample punch andthe feel of a family hatchbackrather than a people carrier.The bespoke UK steeringprogramme adds much morefeel and balance.
It’s a shame that safetysystems appreciated by mums– like Hill Start Assist whichstops the car rollingbackwards down a slope, andthe alert warning driversabout a loss of tyre pressure –are extra cost options, butthen the £150 premium ismoney well spent.
Overall the new Meriva is acracking car – it’s practical,handsome, well made andfamilies are going to love it.
Prices are from a tempting£12,995 for the 1.4-litre 100PSExpression model while the120PS turbo starts with the Sgrade at £16,215. Diesels startat £16,875 for the 1.3 CDTi Sand topping the pile is the 1.7CDTi SE automatic at £21,255.
SCORES ON THE DOORS: Rear-hinged doors are a talking point, but they also make getting in and out of the new Meriva’s back seats much easier
