Undercutting the competition...
Undercutting the competition on cost was clearly the blue oval"s intention, because the basic model costs í‚á£1,500 less than Vauxhall"s Astra VXR and is an astonishing í‚á£2,500 cheaper than the comparable Volkswagen Golf GTI.
It can be all too easy...
It can be all too easy to lose your motor in a car park, especially if itò€™s an unfamiliar location. But the new Backtrack GPS finder from Bushell solves the problem once and for all.
The device is similar in size and shape to a stopwatch, and while the maker claims it is compact enough to slip in a pocket or purse, we felt it was a bit big.
Still, operation via the two buttons was simple, and we liked the fact that different locations ò€“ such as your home or place of work ò€“ can be assigned to different symbols.
Finding a vehicle in a car park was generally easy, but it wasnò€™t always totally accurate. Tilting the angle of the unit slightly confused it, too, and meant we missed the car we were trying to find.
This a fun gadget that is an interesting talking point. But itò€™s a little bit too expensive for us.
