It's going to be a Happy Christmas for Mrs Anne McShane from Shepperton who scooped the top prize, a Honda Jazz, in Woking & Sam Beare Hospices Car Raffle.

Both vehicles were sponsored by local car retailer Trident Honda, with sites in Ottershaw and Weybridge, and Lottery Manager Kelly Newell went along with some of her dedicated car raffle volunteers to accept the keys on behalf of the lucky winners.

In the test of 23 cars driven by independent journalists and company car drivers on UK roads, the Civic took third place for overall mpg, behind the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic and Renault Clio Dynamique - both much smaller cars than the Honda.

Today, at our Ottershaw filling station, we are installing low energy LED canopy lighting. As part of our energy monitoring programme at Ottershaw, we are working to reduce our environmental impact, and hopefully reduce our costs at the same time!

The installation, carried out by Blueserve Facilities will be carried out in lanes, so that we will not be closing our forecourt at any time.

The beautiful weather certainly made for a wonderful Pyrford Flower Show. Our stand was ideally positioned next to the Woking & Sam Beare Hospices Win-a-Car stand, which attracted much interest. It was great to meet so many Trident Honda customers and to take the opportunity to show of our wonderful range of cars, including the new CR-V and Civic 1.6 Diesel.

Honda has revitalised the popular British built Jazz range with a brand new variant – the ES Plus. The new ES Plus replaces the ES model and boasts a host of extra features including 16" alloy wheels, cruise control, privacy glass, driver's front armrest and leather wrapped steering wheel and gear stick.

These additional goodies are on top of the standard equipment found on the outgoing ES model and are combined with the efficient 1.4 i-VTEC engine, all from just £14,495 OTR.

Honda has added the 1.6-litre diesel engine from the Civic hatchback to the CR-V range, and in doing so, it has created the most economical and lowest-emitting version of its family-friendly SUV.

Thus far, the most frugal CR-V has been the 2.2-litre diesel-engined model, which averages just over 50mpg and emits 149g/km, but the 1.6-litre model has that well beaten: it averages 62.8mpg and emits just 119g/km of CO^2. That makes it one of the most frugal SUVs on sale today.
