Celebrations will start early for a Vauxhall customer as there seems to be a deal to suit everyone.

Great Value Sat-Navs For Holidaymakers

Picking the best sat-nav is tricky. After all, what defines 'best' totally depends on your needs. A taxi driver, for example, may want something that sings and dances - whereas occasional motorists might prefer a basic, easy to use, system. Whatever your preference, there are a few things to consider when splashing your cash on a computerised map.

The first is to pick a suitable screen size. Options include small, fairly square systems of 3.5”. The £60 RAC 2000 springs to mind. These compact units suit those who frequently use 'pedestrian mode', as they are easier to carry than larger machines. Alternatively, motorists who leave their sat-nav bolted to the windscreen might prefer a wide-screen 4.3” display. These are easier to read while driving and show considerably more information.

The Garmin 1390T is such a machine. It also has UK, ROI, and European mapping so it makes a fantastic holiday companion. This £150 beauty also helps motorists avoid bank holiday-type jams, as it recognises delays in advance and suggests routes that avoid the trouble. Comparable alternatives include the TomTom XL Live Plus and Mio Navman 579. All these sat-navs are versatile, intuitive, and work beautifully both at home and abroad.

Another feature to watch out for is (motorway) lane guidance. This does what it says on the tin, and shows which of the sometimes numerous lanes points to the destination. Very handy too. Text to speak is also a great idea as this says road names. For example, 'turn left to London Road' rather than simply 'turn left'. Some sat-navs also have calculators, unit converters, and picture viewers for added fun and convenience. Choices choices.

Holidaymakers - Best Way to Travel to the Airport

British burglars are more likely to target properties with Ford Mondeo class company cars parked outside than those with more prestigious vehicles, according to The Sun. In a survey of twenty-four alleged criminals awaiting trial, the consensus was that targeting large houses with expensive machinery on the driveway is too risky as the properties probably have excellent security systems.

By contrast, the crafty crooks conclude that a modern company car parked outside a middle-class semi-detached suggests the owners have a reasonable income - but not the ultimate security. On this basis vehicles such as the Vauxhall Insignia, Citroen C5, and Toyota Avensis can draw unexpected attention to their driver's properties. Presumably, motorists with a couple of Ferraris parked outside their mansion can sleep soundly.

Holidaymakers - Best Way to Travel to the Airport

The best way to travel to the airport when flying abroad is.... to walk.

Walking eliminates the eye-watering parking charges that cost more than a Hollywood divorce settlement. For example, leaving your car near Heathrow Terminal 1 for two weeks in May can cost between £89.10 and £141.50. This cost, of course, is on top of fuel and wear and tear to your car.

On this basis hiring airport taxis may be preferable. These eliminate expensive parking charges, remove the need to drive, and leave a full tank of fuel in your car. Rates, based on a ninety mile journey from Dorset to Heathrow, typically cost between £95 and £130. This varies according to the type of taxi required, e.g. hatchback or MPV. These prices are for one way trips only, so the cost for this convenience is considerable.

So, sticking with our Dorset to Heathrow Terminal 1 example. On average a taxi, both ways, costs an approximate total of £225. Holidaymakers who drive themselves, average 33mpg and choose a mid-range parking option, pay roughly £150 overall. This is £75 cheaper than sliding your bulging suitcases into taxis. However, It may be worth the extra expense to know that your beloved vehicle is safely tucked-up at home.

Another option is to ask a friend for lifts, then pay their expenses. This equals £80 worth of fuel in our scenario. This is probably the best option. No driving. No parking fees. No expensive taxis. No worry that your beloved car is dumped behind an airport for two weeks. It is also the cheapest of our options, apart from actually walking.

Of course this all depends on what car you own and how concerned you are with vehicle safety at Heathrow or any other airport. For many families taking the family car really is the only option because travelling in a taxis, with child car seats, simply isn't possible.

Fantastic Holiday Accessories to Make Life Easier

Drop everything! Why not just pack a suitcase, grab a map, and go on holiday? The only other thing to do before leaving is to load the car with various accessories that should make the trip more comfortable than a week long massage. Oh, and I have also learned from bitter experience to double-check that your partner and kids are actually in the car before departure. Apparently, leaving them in the driveway is considered 'bad form'.

Anyway, I tend to travel light but some motorists pack enough luggage to sink a cargo ship. Clearly eighteen tons of suitcases cannot possibly fit in the boot, so how about installing a roof box? These come in various shapes and sizes from roughly 250 to 520- litres, and have a maximum payload of approximately 75kg. The downside is that this spacious facility increases both fuel consumption and interior noise. To be fair though, so does taking the kids. Prices start at £100 and rise to £700 for a top-of-the-range product.

Cycling is a fantastic holiday pass time so bolting a bicycle carrier to your family hold-all can be worthwhile. There are two types to consider, those that sit on the roof and those that hang from the boot like a peacock's tail. Prices start at £20 and rise to approximately £400 for an all-singing version. These hold up to five bikes but single carriers are available too. Some more expensive holders also fold flat, and have added security to prevent your peddle-powered playthings vanishing into obscurity like a failed X Factor contestant.

Further accessories that may come in handy include a satellite navigation system, an in- car phone charger, DVD player to keep the kids entertained, and flexible boot pockets that prevent small items rolling around. Lovers of refreshing drinks may also consider an electric coolbox that is powered from the vehicle's interior plug point. All ready then? Great, where shall we go?

The all new MG6 - The First New MG for 16 years!

The wait for the new MG6 has been longer than a record breaking tape measure. In fact, this small family car is the first all-new MG for sixteen years. This, as hard-core motoring fans know, is because this historic brand has a history of financial issues that - in the past - made it poorer than a third-year university student. These culminated in the launch of a new company in 2006. Until now, this has only produced reworked designs in low volumes.


The new MG6 is predominantly manufactured in China, but the final stages are completed at Birmingham's Longbridge plant. It was also designed in dear old Blighty. This Ford Focus rival is cooked-up from traditional MG ingredients - so it offers fashion loving consumers sporty handling, sleek styling, and a rock-bottom price tag. To be precise, this refreshingly distinctive plaything could be sitting on your driveway from £15,495.

The new MG6 is only available with a 1.8-litre turbo-charged petrol engine, but a 2.0-litre diesel version will make its presence felt in 2012. The current model produces 158bhp, reaches 62mph in 8.4 seconds, has five-speed manual transmission, and is electronically limited to 120mph. It also averages 35mpg which is acceptable, but unexceptional. Carbon emissions are 184g/km, which places this all-new package in road tax band I/£200.
