h e premise of the Ford Fiesta Sport- van is a simple one..


Ford has taken its Fiesta


Van and given it a sporty makeover. The result is a light commercial vehicle that is ideal for drivers who want to get about town in . a compact van which is fun to drive and looks good. • Underneath the bonnet,


the Fiesta Sportvan is powered by a 1.6-litre Duratorq DCTi diesel engine. Delivering 88 b.h.p., the unit does not quite live up to its sporty name, but with a maxi­ mum torque of 240Nm

there is plenty of oomph. The rear load area has a 1.013 cubic-metre load capacity and an impressive payload of 543kg. It can swallow objects up to ■1,320mm in length and there is plenty of grippy rubber matting to ensure that objects do not slip around while you are in transit. Over a traditional Fiesta


van, the Sportvan adds 16in. 12-spoke sports alloy wheels, sporty front seats, electrically operated front


windows, a Model 6000 RDS radio and CD player, sport-style front fog lights, a leather-covered steering wheel with silver-finished spokes, leather-covered ■gearknob, satin silver gaiter ring, remote central double locking and a trip computer. Pretty stylish for a commercial vehicle. Continuing the sports theme, it also includes a


body-coloured sports “aero” kit with a high- intake front grille, rear bumper and rear spoiler. lt is available in a range of vibrant colours, including Colorado Red, Panther Black, Moondust Silver and Diamond White. When you are sat in the


cabin it can be easy to for­ get you’re in-a commercial vehicle.

car maker, is a company that lives in the real world, designing its products to suit. The latest car to benefit from this refreshing approach is the third generation CR-V. Here is a model which, though still able to deal with towing and slimy surfaces, for the most part concentrates on providing what most compact 4x4 owners really want: a more pragmatic and useful on­ road package. Discussing the suspension of a com­


pact 4x4 might seem a strange way to kick off, but take a look under the CR- V and you will spot independent sus­ pension all round, with a multilink rear set-up. ■ The centre of gravity has been dropped by fully 35mm and Honda claims to have benchmarked


|p, the best family hatchbacks in its class (rather than other 4x4s) when it comes to handling.'Forget the cumbersome ' roly-poly road manners and ponderous

ride quality still common to some cars in this class. The CR-V has been engi­ neered to be pin sharp straight out of the box. This matters because, if you are


honest with yourself, you never take small 4x4s off-road anyway. It matters because it means you are not trying to portray some sort of. lifestyle you do not have. And, above all, it matters because the CR-V now corners more crisply and safely than ever before, and


despite the best efforts of the Romans, our roads tend to be very twisty. The CR-V can handle gentle off­


road tracks thanks to its four-wheel drive system, but think of this as an all-wheel drive equipped car rather than a “proper” 4x4. The system has been tweaked a little to direct even more torque to the rear wheels when the front wheels start slipping. This is actually more handy if you are plan­ ning to use the CR-V in bad weather


conditions or on an Alpine skiing jaunt.


Two.engine options are available.


The petrol power plant is a 2.0-litre unit based on the 1.8-litre i-VTEC petrol engine found in the Civic range, in this instance pumped up to produce 150 b.h.p. It will get to 60 m.p.h. in 9.9 seconds if you choose the manual transmission, the five-speed auto model lagging with an 11.9 second showing against the watch.
