  Technical and corporate affairs executive for the group Graeme Trudgill commented that an automobile's environmental credentials are not be a "major factor" in car insurance.

This comes as research from HybridCars.com recently found that more people are buying environmentally-friendly vehicles.

  Best to buy in the UK? 26 Apr 2001 (News)
  An analysis of 7 million prices shows that the new car market is clearly defined: * 16% of models are cheaper in the UK when compared to Europe * 4% of models only deliver a negligible benefit (less than £500) when bought from importers * 25% of models are more competitively priced from Europe * 54% of the entire inventory is only available from UK suppliers, who offer the consumer greater choice * Importers only supply 0.5% of all automatic models available Steve Evans of Car Price Check says the results show that dealers only use the manufacturers 'list price' as a benchmark for discounts. "It is now a matter of fact that dealers will offer improved terms on the recommended retail prices," he says.

  Masterfit Exhuaust Back Boxes from £35 3 Apr 2001 (News)
  Prices start at £35 for Novas, at £39 for Corsas and at £45 for Astras and Vectras. Remember, a blowing rear silencer is an automatic MOT failure.

  A Grand Monday: Rover 114 SLi 13 Feb 2017 (News)
  It's immaculate and has clearly been well cared for, with a clean MoT history save for an advisory over corrosion on the spare wheel carrier.  Being an SLi, it has such luxuries as a sunroof, central locking, a rev counter and a radio-cassette (what more do you need?) and comes with the CVT automatic gearbox. Apart from a reputation for being a bit snatchy when cold, the Metro/100 CVT is one of the better automatic boxes to be found in a contemporary supermini - like all CVTs it makes some fantastically weird noises, but it's set up to keep the engine revs at their peak performance, and - coupled to the 84bhp 1.4-litre engine - that makes the CVT the best performing non-performance Metro there was.

  Debuting on the Focus in early 2012, the Door Edge Protector system should reduce the number of claims for damaged and dented paintwork. The system works automatically when a door is opened, with a protective flap opening in a fraction of a second to prevent damage to both the door and other cars against which the door might be opened.
