Fiat 500C TwinAir

The Fiat 500C TwinAir has just picked up the Green Apple Gold Award for Green Vehicles, Coupes and Cabriolets at the 2011 International Green Apple Awards. The Fiat 500C was launched by Fiat in 2009 and pays homage to the original fabric roof of the 1957 fabric roof Fiat 500, as well as offering style and great open-top motoring.

The TwinAir engine has already been voted International Engine of the Year 2011 and the 0.9-litre two cylinder unit offers high torque at low revs, has an environmentally friendly CO2 figure of just 95g/km and a combined fuel consumption of 68mpg. The Green Apple award was presented to Fiat by Dragon’s Den winner Chris Hopkins and Ian Donaldson, who is the chairman at the Midland Group of Motoring Writers, which judged and selected the winners. 

Mr Donaldson, said,”We were looking for cars that are not just green on paper, but are green in the real world too, and are also fun to drive. The Fiat 500C TwinAir totally encapsulates those thoughts and was a worthy winner”. If you are interested in leasing a Fiat 500C TwinAir then prices are on the site now.

Honest John

Honest John, the leading independent motorist website, has launched a new service whereby you can download car road tests and videos via a free App to your Apple iPhone.

Most drivers usually rely on a friend or colleague if they visit a car showroom so this useful service will enable you to have all their latest data at your fingertips.

The new application, as well as delivering independent news, road tests and videos from the Honest John website, also allows access to the website’s backroom, where an interactive forum discusses many other motoring issues. Honest John is a popular car site and receives over 750K unique visitors per month so this new App is bound to be popular.

Honest John, who is a partner of Comparecontracthire.com, is also promising that the new App will be available on other smart phones like Nokia and Blackberry in due course.
