Friendship club marks 30 years

30 years since the Sumner-Redcliffs Friendship Club formed. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
• By Jess Gibson
THE SUMNER-Redcliffs
Friendship Club tucked
into cake for breakfast as its
members celebrated 30 years
since the group formed.
It was the first time the club
for retired or semi-retired
women had met back at Our
Lady Star of the Sea in Sumner
following the Covid-19 lockdown.
Honorary life member Robyn
Gosset, 89, said it was great
to get back with old friends
during the commemoration on
July 6.
Since 1990, women in the
area have been able to connect
and discuss a range of intellectual
and cultural interests
on the first Monday of every
month.
“We still have several early
members in their 90s,” Mrs
Gosset said.
She said the club has always
followed the same programme
of having a mini-speaker and
morning tea, before listening to
an invited guest speaker.
There are also monthly trips
to “interesting spots around
Canterbury.”

Calls for
parking
restrictions
near wharf
at Diamond
Harbour
• By Jess Gibson
PARKING PROBLEMS near the
Diamond Harbour wharf have
sparked a proposal for restrictions
in two areas.
There are currently no restrictions
at the car parks beside the wharf
and at the Stoddart Point main
parking area.
It has attracted freedom campers,
and others using the spaces all day,
which creates problems for people
needing to park their cars and
commute across Lyttelton Harbour
on Black Cat Cruises’ ferry.
Black Cat Cruises chief executive
Paul Milligan said parking has been
an issue for “quite some time.”
“It is an area that needs to be
managed and controlled to make
it fair for everyone. Obviously, for
our customers, we’d like to see as
much parking available as possible.”
The city council is asking for
feedback on a consultation to
change the area beside the wharf to
have six parking spaces with P180
restrictions, keep eight unrestricted
parking spaces and retain two
mobility parking spaces.

Maori place names reinstated
• By Jess Gibson
DYERS PASS will now be known
as Pukeatua/Dyers Pass – the te
reo name translating to “hills of
the gods.”
The popular route used to
travel between Lyttelton Harbour
and the central city is one of
13 place names across Banks
Peninsula to have its Maori
history restored as requested by
Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke.
The Minister
for Land

Eugenie Sage
approved the
changes at

portfolio chairman Donald
Couch, who has worked with Te
Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the
New Zealand Geographic Board
on the proposals said a lot of
work had gone into getting the
names formally recognised.
“Puke” means hill, and Mr
Couch said the word “atua” is
a general term for gods which
could be used generally to cover
different Maori figures.
Historically the location was
known as Pukeatua, it then
became Dyers Pass in 1942 after
well-known farmer John Dyer.

From all parts of the globe to Sumner,
Lee Barraclough’s
business Skydiving Kiwis
is set to launch a new
attraction later this month
or in August, which will
allow people to skydive
out of a helicopter onto
Sumner Beach. Matt
Slaughter talked to
him about this and the
experiences he has
had in his 17 years as a
skydiver
Tell me about your job and
how you make a living?
I’ve been a skydiving
instructor now for 17 years.
Basically, at the moment I’ve
been living in Sumner. In 2003, I
learnt to skydive and then I spent
12 years travelling around the
world chasing the sun.
I came back to New Zealand
in 2011, just after the earthquake
and set up Skydiving Kiwis and
since then, we’ve been doing
commercial skydiving with
tandem skydiving and also
student training and advanced
sports skydiving training as well.
Where did the idea of jumping
out of a helicopter onto Sumner
Beach come from and what will
people experience?
What I looked at doing

THE 2020 GENERAL ELECTION
AND REFERENDUMS
What does it feel like to
skydive?
For a first-time skydiver, it
can be one of the most scariest
things that you ever do, I guess,
and I never try to tell anybody
otherwise, but then the feeling
once you actually leave the plane
and step into the wind, or you
drop into the wind, is one of
the most freeing, exhilarating
feelings that you can ever
experience in your life.
Once you jump out, you’re
flying, man. There’s not a word
in the dictionary for that feeling.
How did your passion for
skydiving develop?
In 2001, I did my first tandem
and then in 2003 I did my first
solo and for me, at the time,
like, I hadn’t really been an
aircraft before, so I was a bit
unsure of what all the dials in
the aircraft meant and that was
the only thing that really kind
of confused me a little bit and
then as soon as that door opened
and that entrance to kind of the
world of the bird was before me,
then the feeling was inside me
that I was actually at home. It
was something that I saw on TV
when I was about nine-years-old
and since that moment I said to
my mum that as soon as I get the
spare money, mum, what I want
to do is go skydiving.

boyhood skydiving dream comes true
Where are some of the best
places in the world that you
have skydived?
Without being biased, New
Zealand has got the best
scenery on the planet and then
Christchurch and Canterbury,
it’s in me just like it is in every
Cantabrian. When I was
travelling around the world
though, I guess, California
because it never ever rains, it’s
about 40 deg C all the time,
so enabling you to be able to
go skydiving every single day
was something that was pretty
awesome there.
I’ve skydived on some paradise
islands like Mauritius, the
Canary Islands, and that is part
of the reason why I really like
jumping onto the beach and
around the ocean because the
views are so spectacular.
Have you had any close calls
skydiving in the past?
I guess I’ve probably used my
reserve parachute in my high
performance jumps probably
nine or 10 times and it’s
something that we’re trained to
do since the day that we begin
skydiving.
I remember one time at the
Australian nationals when I was
leading the competition, and
then I had a malfunction on
my competition jump and then,
unfortunately, because of the
upper winds, my parachute flew
seven miles away. Luckily for me,
what happened after that was the
winds became too over the limit
to carry on the competition, so
we went flying in the little Cessna
[plane] and we actually managed
to find my parachute, but it also
meant that the competition went
on hold and I was able to actually
get all my gear back together
and, once the winds died down,
then I was able to carry on the
competition and I remember
coming home with a gold medal,
which was pretty nice.
Have you had any injuries
skydiving?
The only injury that I’ve really
had was at the Copenhagen
World Freestyle Challenge and
that was in 2016.
We would fly our parachutes
down and there was a 25m by 6m
inflatable raft and then what we
PASSION: Lee
Barraclough

years with the

him all over the
world.
would do is, for about 100m prior
to the raft, we would perform
freestyle tricks on the water and
then try to land on the raft. So,
what I did was actually do a trick
that had never been done before,
and it was my own personal trick,
which involved sliding on the
water, letting go of my controls
and then just popping up a little,
grabbing both my feet behind
my back and then [getting] back
onto the controls and landing on
the raft. It wasn’t really a crash
landing, it was just more of an
awkward landing with the
speed I had onto the raft and
I ended up tearing my labrum
inside of my shoulder and that
meant shoulder surgery at the
start of 2017 and a three-year
recovery, but I did end up
coming fifth in the world for that
competition.
Have you taken any famous
or memorable people skydiving?
There were a couple of famous
people overseas, like, I took one
of the most famous Bollywood
actresses one time and that was
in Mauritius.
In New Zealand, I wouldn’t
really say famous. Some of the
things that stick out though was
one time I took a 94-year-old
blind lady on Christmas Eve and
she came and wore a Santa suit. It
was pretty cool. Other than that,
I’ve taken the Bachelorette in
New Zealand.
Who will be the first person
to skydive onto Sumner Beach?
That’s a bit of a secret. It’s
somebody from the local
[Sumner] area that has lived
there for nearly 50 years and he
actually got hold of us and he
himself is actually around the
90-year-old-mark and that’s
about all I’m allowed to say.

Gold medal personal goal
What are your
hobbies outside of
skydiving?
I really love surfing and,
these days, I spend a lot of
time working a lot more
with the tourism board
and actually pushing a
little bit outside of just
skydiving and working
more with Christchurch as
a whole.
What are the best
results you have had at
the competitions you have
competed at?
At the end of last year at
the World Cup in South
Africa, it was my first
competition back after
three years from
my shoulder recovery
and I came back with
two records, the
Oceanic record
and the New Zealand
record for distance in
canopy piloting. That
would be the pinnacle
so far. My personal
goal is to get the gold
medal next year at
the Russian world
championships for
distance for canopy
piloting.
What does your family
think of your skydiving
and what you do for a
living?
I’ve got family, mum
and dad and a brother
and sister here in New
Zealand and since day one
they’ve just pushed me to
be whoever it is that I want
to be. So, although the
first time I rang my mum
and told her about my first
ever malfunction, it was a
bit scary for her, she just
continuously is like, just do
what makes you happy, Lee
and skydiving, obviously,
is the thing that has made
you the happiest I’ve ever
seen you, so go for it.

Questions over freedom campers raised
• From page 1
At the Stoddart Point car
park there is a proposal to
make 16 unrestricted parks become
6am to 6pm parks from
Monday to Friday, mainly for
commuters.
Fourteen unrestricted
parking spaces and one mobility
parking space would be
retained at this area.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board member Scott
Winter, who represents the Mt
Herbert Subdivision, said he
has had feedback from a few
residents who are unhappy
with the proposal.
“But you can’t please everyone,”
he said.
“With the space we’ve got
[the city council] has come
up with a good proposal. I’m
glad they’re consulting with
the community about it rather
than just going ahead and
doing something they’re not
happy with.”
He said the community
board has raised questions
over what will happen once
freedom campers return in the
future.

“We have also used the

EQC and insurance
claims – still relevant
to property purchases
Charlotte Grimshaw,
Associate at Saunders & Co reports:
Conveyancing in Christchurch and
Canterbury can be a trickier task than in other
parts of New Zealand due to the Canterbury
Earthquakes and their effect on the process.
Unless you are buying a property that was built
post quakes, you need to be aware of what
damage occurred from the quake events, and
whether it has been repaired.
To assist the sale process, a seller should be
able to provide a prospective purchaser with
information on all claims including scope(s)
of damage and evidence of repairs such as
sign offs by EQC/ Fletcher Building and their
contractors for a managed repair, or payout
letters and invoices for repairs completed
(where cash settled and the seller organized
the repairs). The same should be provided for
land and insurance claims.
If any repairs are outstanding, it is important
for purchasers to be informed of what
remains unrepaired and whether the vendor
will be crediting the funds paid out for the
repairs on settlement or not. Providing
such information is also helpful for aiding
purchasers in being able to obtain satisfactory
insurance cover and finance.
If buying or selling an “as is where is
property” (where no repairs have been

completed and all benefits under the
claims are being retained by the seller), it is
especially important for both parties to seek
legal advice on the contents of any Agreement
for Sale and Purchase before entering it, and
the implications of the uncompleted repairs.
It is also now the standard process for non
“as is where is” property sales for remaining
rights in EQC claims to be assigned by
the seller to purchaser on settlement via a
document called a Deed of Assignment.
This Deed informs EQC about the transfer
of the property and who is taking over
any remaining benefit in the EQC claims
lodged for the property from the settlement
date. Having rights assigned then allows
purchasers to deal with EQC regarding such
claims in the future, such as settling unsettled
claims or dealing with further quake damage
if found.

I was 17, which was Jezebel. It was
released and three weeks later it
was No 1 and all of a sudden, I
was famous in New Zealand.
“It [music] was something
that I didn’t pursue at all, it
was like a happy accident
actually because it wasn’t
something I was actually into
doing,” he said.
But Stevens, who is entertainer
Frankie Stevens’ brother, couldn’t
stay away from music, and more
than four decades later, he is set
to headline Selwyn Sounds on
March 6 at Lincoln Domain.
Jon Stevens is best known
for being the lead singer of
Noiseworks. He was also lead
singer of legendary Australian
band INXS for four years after
former frontman Michael
Hutchence died.
The Selwyn Sounds crowd can
expect Stevens to belt out a set
of hits from both of these bands
when he takes the stage.
Said Stevens: “I’ve got a
pretty good setlist going with,
obviously, both bands’ songs.
ROCKING OUT: Jon
Stevens will be performing
a set including songs from
Noiseworks and INXS at
Selwyn Sounds on March 6.
You can’t please everybody, but
nobody’s disappointed ever.
“It’s just hit after hit, you
know,” he said.
Stevens said these hits will
include INXS songs Need You
Tonight, Don’t Change and
Suicide Blonde and Noiseworks’
Hot Chilli Woman.
Stevens fronted INXS in the
early 2000s after Hutchence’s
death in 1997 and toured with
the band for four years.
“When I joined INXS, it was
just one of those things where it
seemed like a perfectly natural
fit and it was, and it’s something
that I know, and we all knew,
Michael would have been more
than happy for me to do because
we were compadres.”
Stevens said he and Hutchence
had “mutual admiration” for
each other.
“He [Hutchence] was a very
warm and engaging fellow. He
was a lovely bloke [with] charisma
to burn. One thing people didn’t
realise about Michael was he had
a really, really big voice, it was
really so loud.
“Because his subtlety in his
lower register was just incredible
and his tone was incredible,
when he jumped up an octave
and started belting it out, it was
just like, man, so full-on, and
that’s probably a big part of his
magic,” he said.
Stevens is looking forward
to the Selwyn Sounds crowd
hearing his spin on the INXS
songs and said he has the band’s
blessing to perform them.
He also said he is looking
forward to seeing the huge
Kiwi lineup set to take the
stage at Selwyn Sounds and his
highlights will be seeing Stan
Walker, The Jordan Luck Band,
The Lady Killers and Annie
Crummer.

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-
Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit
organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of
New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands.
Each week she introduces a new bird found
in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the
understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area.
Help save swamp harrier
THE SWAMP harrier is New
Zealand’s largest native bird
of prey – a stunning creature
with a wingspan of 1m. It is an
awesome sight when you see it
soaring above the estuary and
nearby paddocks.
We don’t have a lot of them
here but 16 were counted last
summer. They do actually get
chased out of the area by the
bossy and territorial magpies
and spur-winged plover who are
much smaller, but not afraid to
dive bomb the harrier.
The harrier has a good and
varied appetite and its prey
includes rats, mice, lizards, insects,
small birds, frogs but also
carrion (roadkill), particularly
during winter when other prey is
harder to find.
No doubt you have all seen a
harrier feeding on carrion such
as hedgehogs, rabbit, possum
or even pukeko. Unfortunately,
though, this is the main cause of
death of our harriers.
What we can do to help in
this case is when you see a dead
animal on the road; pull over
when it is safe to do so, and if
you are brave enough, use a
stick, a branch, gloves, a plastic
bag or piece of paper to pick
up the dead animal and place
far enough away from the road
where it is safe for the harrier to
eat.
The harrier nests on the
ground or low scrub, flax bushes
or raupo where the female will
incubate eggs on her own as well
as having to feed her chicks. But
wait . . . the male will help here
by finding food for the female to
save her leaving the nest for too
long.
This all happens during
an awesome aerial display
where she flies upside down
underneath the male for him to
pass on his catch of the day to
her to be passed on to the chicks
and to feed herself.

In with
the New!
Well-known furniture retailer Target Furniture has taken
the opportunity to open their latest store in central
Christchurch – and it is certainly different from anything
Christchurch shoppers have seen before.
Target Furniture has had a long-term presence in
Christchurch and has now relocated and reinvented
the shopping experience for customers with this new
concept store.
The large, open store has gone and been replaced with
a showroom that encourages customers to explore and
discover more as they stroll through rooms that have
been created to showcase the furniture. Target has
partnered with Resene to illustrate the types of colours
that are proving popular in New Zealand homes, and
these are incorporated into the displays.
“Furniture shopping should be fun, easy, inspirational
and a highlight of the customer’s shopping year,” says
Rob.
“The new store is a result of significant local and
international research, a considerable amount of recent
experimentation in existing stores and feedback from
customers,” says company director Rob Bielby.
Technology is another innovative feature of the new
store. Unlike traditional ticketing and signage, most of
the signage is now digital, creating a more personalised
message for customers and telling more about the
Target story and the services they offer.
Target is one of the first major retailers to use QR
(Quick Response) labels. This allows customers to scan
the ticket on their phone to get immediate access to
detailed information on the furniture, including sizes,
materials, guarantees, availability, and other items in the
range.
Brochures are also available with details of the different
furniture ranges for customers not wanting to go digital,
Rob says, while staff are always on hand to answer
questions and offer advice.
There is also a digital kiosk equipped with computers
where customers can log onto the Target website and
view the 2500-plus products online, with images also
displayed on Facebook and Instagram.
“We aim to highlight all the shopping options we offer
– digital and instore. Our point of difference is the
experience and we cater for all our customers’ shopping
preferences – from totally digital to totally bricks and
mortar.”

Prompt delivery is an important part of the customer
experience, Rob adds.
“We have invested in our own fleet of trucks and are
committed to regular weekly deliveries in Christchurch. Our
goal is to have furniture delivered into Christchurch within
10 days of being ordered, if it is available in our Auckland
distribution centre.”
Target Furniture is located on the ground-floor level of the
Spotlight building on the corner of Moorhouse Avenue and
Durham Street, with several other furniture outlets in the
vicinity.
“This encourages customers to the area as they have more
options to look at,” Rob says, “and while customers do
have a choice, we believe we know how to buy for Kiwi
homes, and offer furniture that gives people the chance to
add a dash of luxury to their home without it costing an arm
and a leg.
“Target is determined to shake up the traditional furniture
retail landscape making fashionable, practical and
affordable furniture available to everyone in a shopping
environment that surprises and delights.”
Target Moorhouse is the first of the new-generation stores
and the concept will be rolled out to all existing stores and
new stores that are planned.

Tasty Bites
Kiwifruit and lime - a match made in heaven
This kiwifruit lime pie is
a delicious gluten and
dairy-free frozen dessert.
It’s sweetened with
maple syrup and naturally
flavoured with fresh lime
juice, coconut and kiwifruit.
Pure decadence
Kiwifruit and lime pie
Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Grain-
Free, Egg-Free, Soy-Free, Vegan,
Paleo
Ingredients
Gluten-free pecan crust
1 cup dates (pits removed)
1 cup raw pecans
½ cup coconut flakes
1 tbsp coconut oil
Pinch of sea salt
Filling and topping
2 cups raw unsalted cashews,
soaked
⅔ cups fresh squeezed lime juice
(about 4 limes)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
(canned)
¼ cup avocado
¼ cup coconut oil
5-6 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
Directions
Place the cashews in a large
bowl and pour hot water over top.
Let them to soak for 1 hour prior
to making the pie filling.
To make the crust: Add all of
the crust ingredients to a food
processor and process until quite
finely and evenly ground.
Add the crust mixture to either
a pie pan or a 20cm round cake
pan. If using a pie pan you do
not need to grease the pan or use
baking paper, and can simply
press the crust mixture down to
form a flat crust.
If using a round cake pan
instead you should line the pan
with baking paper that has been
cut in a circle to fit the bottom of
the pan.
You will also want to cut
two strips of baking paper to
approximately 5 x 35cm and
lie them criss-cross across the
bottom of the pan.
This will make the pie easy to
remove to serve from another
platter once frozen for a more
impressive presentation.
Add the crust mixture on top
of the paper layers and compress
it firmly to create a solid crust
by pressing firmly down using
your hands over another piece of
baking paper to prevent sticking.
To make the filling: Drain the
water from the cashews and place
them in a blender along with all
of the other ingredients for the
filling except for the kiwifruit.
Blend on high until smooth,
scraping the sides of the blender
with a spatula as needed.
Pour the filling over top of the
crust and freeze for 1-2 hours
until the pie is partially set.
Remove the pie from the
freezer and layer the sliced
kiwifruit in a decorative
arrangement on top of the pie.
Place the pie back into the
freezer and let set another 1-2
hours prior to serving. Store the
pie in the freezer and remove to
thaw for 30min to soften prior
to serving. Cut any leftovers into
individual portions so they can
easily be enjoyed as a single serve
dessert later instead of repeatedly
thawing out the entire pie.

Master jeweller in Lyttelton
AWARD
winning
master
jeweller
Julian
Harding
(Jules) has
recently
opened a
new studio
in Lyttelton.
Jules has been involved in Canterbury’s
jewellery industry for over 40 years
with latter years spent running his own
business.
During this time he has earned a strong
reputation as a skilled craftsman. He is
not only a renowned designer and creator
of fine jewellery, but he also repairs,
alters and remodels any jewellery.
“I enjoy designing and hand-making
unique pieces of jewellery that capture
the true essence of my customers,” said
Jules. “I also love the challenge of remodelling,
restoration and repair work.”
It’s this work that Jules says keeps him
up to date with trends and appeals to his
creative mind.
But it’s not just jewellery. Jules is
willing to look at repair and restoration
of any precious keepsake - from a teapot
to a tiara!
Located at 8 London St, Jules’ studio
reflects his dynamic personality.
Filled with a menagerie of eclectic
treasures, including caged budgies,
canaries and finches, the studio is
warm and welcoming as Jules works
from his station. Comfy armchairs
offer a relaxed area for consultation
and there is an interesting array of
jewellery and trinkets on display for
sale.
There is no middle man. You deal
directly with Jules, so you can get
an honest appraisal for repairs and
restoration on the spot. And if you’re
wanting something made, you’ll
get an exclusive, handmade and
unique creation designed and crafted
exclusively for you. Jules is a specialist
in engagement and wedding ring
design.
“I guarantee your piece will cost no
more than a mass produced item from a
retail jewellery shop. In fact you will save
money.”
Jules is usually on site, but recommends
phoning to book consultations. He is
also open Saturdays during the Lyttelton
Market.

Mazda expands its SUV line-up
MAZDA COULDN’T put it more
simply, its new crossover sport
utility vehicle – the CX-30 – is
bigger than a CX-3 and smaller
than a CX-5.
I once wrote that the CX-3 was
my favourite car in the whole
Mazda line-up, but that feeling
wasn’t shared by everyone, it took
a lot of criticism for a lack of space
in the rear seating compartment.
My argument was that if you were
mostly driving with one or two-up,
then that became irrelevant.
Whichever way you look at it,
those who were captured by the
CX-3’s dynamics everywhere else
will find the CX-30 a fabulous
driving vehicle, and it gets the
benefit of extra space in the rear
seats, along with increased load
space. Of course, the CX-30
also shares the DNA of its other
stablemates that span a wide crosssection
of the SUV market, there’s
a size for all families depending on
how many travel in the vehicle on a
daily basis.
The CX-30 is also priced midway
between CX-3 and CX-5, there
are three variants – GSX, GTX
and Limited – the range starts at
$41,490 for a 2-litre model, the
other two are 2.5-litre powered
and list at $44,990 and $50,990
respectively. Factor in the 2.5-litre

deeds – now prepare for…THE WORLD’S WORST PARENTS! From the
phenomenally bestselling David Walliams and illustrated in glorious
colour by the artistic genius, Tony Ross.
Are you ready to meet the worst parents ever?
Sure, some parents are embarrassing – but they’re NOTHING on this

variants are four-wheel-drive, the
2-litre engine drives out the front
wheels only.
I’m scheduled into all three
variants, and I’m really looking
forward to the two remaining drives
– the CX-30 is a smart piece of kit,
and if you have read any of my recent
Mazda evaluations you’ll notice that a
pattern has developed, I’m constantly
saying the product that is coming
out of the Mazda factories is high on
quality and desire.
My first drive was the mid-spec
model, and even though it doesn’t
get all the bells and whistles it will
still satisfy, I particularly like it for its
cloth trim, I don’t need leather. It took
me many years to fully relate to the
traditional sport utility vehicle, and
now I can see their appeal through
functionality and practicality, and
you can’t help but being impressed
with the way the CX-30 drives and
handles, it has form and function
built into every aspect.
Under the bonnet sits the fourcylinder
2488cc engine, there are
no surprises here, it is an engine
that has been utilised by Mazda
for several years in this form. It’s
part of a SkyActive range that has
been constantly upgraded and
engineered for maximum efficiency
both in terms of power outputs and
fuel efficiency.

CX-30: Comprehensive series that fits seamlessly into Mazda’s
range of SUVs.
It is rated with 139kW and
252Nm, both outputs realised at
traditional points in the rev band –
6000 and 4000rpm respectively. The
engine is coupled to a six-speed
automatic transmission, also very
traditional. But the reality of this is
that over time and development the
two main engineering pieces work
perfectly together, the electronic
mapping between the two is fluid
and, of course, very smooth.
This engine works well in the
CX-30, of course it feels more
responsive than what it does in
the CX-5 because of the weight
difference between the two models,
the CX-30 feels feisty and vibrant,
responding willingly to throttle
application and is always hooked
into the right gearing.
The norm these days is to
incorporate driver-selectable
engine management modes and
the CX-30 is no exception,
although there is just a choice of
two, the default mode being
a normal setting which I use
almost always. There is also a
sport mode which is selfexplanatory,
it is there for when
overtaking opportunities present
themselves and it is also useful
for that long hill climb through
to Akaroa, it keeps the engine
working in the point of strength
and maximum delivery.
Mazda claim fuel usage figures
of 6.8-litres per 100km for the
2.5 engine on a combined cycle
average. I tried reaching that figure
as a target but couldn’t quite get
there. When I took the evaluation
vehicle back to the dealership it
was listing at around 7.4l/100km,
which was promisingly close.
At 100km/h on the highway the
engine is quite relaxed working
away at 1900rpm, at that speed
it sips fuel instantaneously at the
• Price – Mazda CX-30 GTX,

• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.3sec
• Fuel usage – 6.8l/100km
rate of 6l/100km. That translates to
economical motoring if you are on
that long road trip.
As you would expect from a
company that has long had a
history of sports car development,
the CX-30 also handles with a
feel that is most unlike a tall sport
utility vehicle. Sure, at 1.54m there
is a bit of body movement, even
with moderate spring and damper
firming there is going to be some
gravitational transition, but it
is well arrested and occupants
aren’t lurched through directional
changes.
It must also be pointed out that
four-wheel-drive also has on-seal
grip and handling benefits, the
CX-30 feels well attached to the
road surface and that is a key safety
ingredient. It works alongside the
suite of safety features that Mazda
has long developed in all of its
product range.
The CX-30 is far more than a
stretched CX-3, it draws on all the
fundamentals sport utility vehicles
require, and packages them in a
comprehensive range.
