Golf GTI Cabriolet revealed, Audi to launch new TT and Kia gives birth to a bulldog

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Volkswagen has unveiled plans to launch a hot GTI version of its Golf Cabriolet, with its debut pencilled in for the Geneva Motor Show in March. It sees VW harking back to its early 1980s roots, as no GTI version of its Golf convertibles has been available since the Mark I trendsetter. Sure to be popular on car finance deals, the GTI Cabriolet is likely to be the last hurrah for the current generation Golf before its replacement arrives in 2013.

The new GTI drop-top will benefit from the same 208bhp 2.0 turbocharged engine available in the standard Golf GTI, along with stiffer suspension for those who love affordable performance cars on finance deals. It’ll also get other GTI signature items such as interior trim, six speed manual and DSG gearboxes, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels.

Ford launches new Focus, women drivers excel at parking and Kia wins green award

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Ford has seemingly proven the old adage ‘it’s not the size that counts, but how you use it’ with the imminent launch of its new 1.0-litre ‘EcoBoost’ version of the Focus family hatchback.

The petrol engine, which has three cylinders and delivers 123bhp, reportedly uses a combination of direct fuel injection and a turbocharger to offer heightened performance – allowing it to compete with larger, 1.6-litre units and even provide greater fuel economy.

Ford of Britain’s managing director, Mark Ovenden, has delivered a glowing report of the engine’s capabilities: “This highly efficient, technically advanced powertrain is not only great fun to drive, but it delivers fuel economy improvements and ultra-low CO2 emissions which lead to real world cost savings for our customers.”

This news will undoubtedly be welcomed by drivers looking for green cars on finance, who can expect to see the new Focus rolling out from next month, with prices starting at a respectable £16,245.

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

Popular car brand Mini is launching two limited-edition models in March. Both new models will have plenty of extra kit and are sure to be big hits with Mini car finance customers. It looks like Mini is keen to cash in on their British heritage, with the two models called the Bayswater and Baker Street.

The Bayswater will come in a choice of three colours, depending on the model variant. ‘Kite Blue’ metallic is standard across the range, with ‘Midnight Black’ metallic and ‘Eclipse Grey’ metallic available on Cooper S and Cooper SD engine variants. There’s extra sporty trim on the inside and outside of the new model, with snazzy alloy wheels and added equipment unique to this line. This extra equipment is likely to make the Bayswater a tempting package for people looking at Minis on car finance deals, ensuring they get plenty of bang for their buck.
