sales of tlie Carisma GDI after the car was named Meet Car of the Year by the Insti- ! u Le of Transport Management on the s| length of its low running costs. The Institute's tests showed the GDI -

category. they also marked it up for its stylish fin­

from the Proton warranty package of three years' free servicing and three years' free RAC membership, something unheard of in 1989. The savings over 1998 Proton


prices are substantial. The Persona 1.6 four-door Celebration is priced at £10,299 on the road, a saving of £1,600 on the standard Persona 1.6 XU.


At the top of the Proton range,


the Persona 1.8 five-door Celebra­ tion, with air conditioning as stan­ dard, now costs £11,999, a reduc­ tion of £1,800. Even specialist coupe buyers can


take advantage of the campaign. The 133bhp 1.8 Coupe now costs £12,599, a saving of £1,600 on the previous price. Prices on Celebration models will be held until the end of March.

ota Corolla in 1998. And although it is hardly likely to repeat those


levels of success in the UK, almost 3,500 have now been sold here since it was launched a y e a r ago. Suzuki says the Wagon R+ is gaining in populari­ ty in Britain and drivers get used to its high sides


and narrow track. It's available with a choice of 1.0 litre and 1.2 litre petrol engines and is priced at £7,425 and £8,425.

engine and also features air conditioning in addition to central locking and power steering for £10,495 (three door) and £10,995 (five door). Toyota says 1998 was its fourth succes­

increase of 3.5 per cent on the previous year. The indus­ try is forecasting sales of just over two million for 1999. Chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufactur­


ers and Traders, Roger King, said last year ended with a flurry of activity boosted by the arrival of new models and the good value of deals on offer. He said the effect of halting the annual August stam­


pede, by changing the number plate prefix in March and September instead of August 1 would take a while


to work through the system. “Whilst the age identifier may remain of interest to


buyers, the more frequent changes should reduce its sig­ nificance, resulting in a more orderly market. This will benefit the customer and manufacturer alike,” he said. The most popular car in the UK hist year was the


Ford Fiesta, followed in succession by the old stager Escort and Mondco.
