GIVE BACK OUR<br />
WALKING FRAMES<br />
BURWOOD Hospital is making<br />
a plea for patients to return<br />
walking frames as stocks run<br />
low.<br />
Said Canterbury Allied Health<br />
director Jacqui Lunday Johnstone<br />
(right): “Anyone who has forgotten<br />
to return it – no matter how<br />
long ago – is asked to give it back,<br />
no questions asked.”<br />
She said as well as walking<br />
frames, the hospital wants any<br />
borrowed medical equipment to<br />
be returned.<br />
The same problem is also happening<br />
at Christchurch Hospital.<br />
Johnstone said people can<br />
sometimes accidentally overlook<br />
equipment they’ve borrowed, or<br />
store it away and forget about it.<br />

Groups<br />
work to<br />
stop youth<br />
altercations<br />
at malls<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
A LACK of public spaces for<br />
youth has led to altercations at<br />
Northlands shopping centre and<br />
the bus hub on Main North Rd,<br />
with key groups collaborating to<br />
front-foot the issue.<br />
Papanui Youth<br />
and Development<br />
Trust operations<br />
manager Jeremy<br />
Adams said it came<br />
about after problems<br />
late last year<br />
involving large<br />
crowds of high<br />
Jeremy<br />
Adams<br />
school students gathering, causing<br />
noise and unwanted behaviour.<br />
“We’re not going anywhere,<br />
young people aren’t going anywhere,<br />
and the Papanui area is<br />
growing, we are just trying to<br />
front-foot the process,” he said.<br />
There have been other<br />
altercations at malls in<br />
Christchurch, including at<br />
Westfield Riccarton in June and<br />
in September last year.<br />
Other key groups involved<br />
in addressing the issue include<br />
the police, Papanui High School,<br />
the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-<br />
Central Community Board, the<br />
city council and Te Ora Hou<br />
Ōtautahi.<br />
Adams said the trust wants to<br />
make spaces more youth friendly<br />
and, along with the community<br />
board, is looking into short and<br />
mid-term solutions.<br />

Community input sought<br />
again on future of reserve<br />
RESIDENTS ARE being asked<br />
to share their vision for the<br />
future of the Shirley Community<br />
Reserve.<br />
The reserve on Shirley Rd was<br />
previously home to the Shirley<br />
Community Centre.<br />
Damaged by the February<br />
22, 2011 earthquake, it was<br />
demolished in 2012.<br />
Pre-quake, the centre had<br />
been home to numerous<br />
organisations and programmes<br />
which enriched the area and<br />
helped the community.<br />
In place of the centre,<br />
the reserve was fitted with<br />
recreational facilities, such as a<br />
basketball court, playground,<br />
pump track and a large green<br />
space.<br />
Feedback from the<br />
community on the reserve’s<br />
future was sought in 2020,<br />
with 58 submitters split<br />
between replacing the old<br />
community centre or developing<br />
the area into a dynamic open<br />
green space.<br />
In 2021, the city council<br />
approved $3 million funding for<br />
the rebuild of the community<br />
centre and requested an updated<br />
feasibility study.<br />
The Waipapa Papanui-Innes-<br />
Central Community Board<br />
has since made the future of<br />
the reserve a key priority in its<br />
<strong>2023</strong>-2025 plan. Community<br />
board chair Emma Norrish said<br />
the board is keen to ensure the<br />
reserve becomes a place that<br />
enhances the community’s<br />
well-being, while providing a<br />
space for social connection.<br />
“Together, we want to develop<br />
a meaningful, dynamic and<br />
Emma<br />
Norrish<br />
fun space for<br />
everyone, so<br />
that the reserve<br />
becomes a<br />
destination of<br />
choice for the<br />
community.<br />
“The options<br />
take into<br />
consideration<br />
feedback received<br />
The options for Shirley Community Reserve are:<br />
• A recreation space with a full basketball court,<br />
renewed playground, planting, a picnic and BBQ area,<br />
a community garden and a walkway.<br />
• Creating a community hub that’s open to<br />
partnerships with local organisations.<br />
• Leaving the space as it is.<br />

Keeping<br />
property<br />
‘depriving<br />
others in<br />
need’<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Johnstone: “However, this<br />
appears to have occurred too<br />
frequently as it’s deprived other<br />
patients in need of accessing such<br />
equipment or caused delays in<br />
their discharge from the hospital.<br />
“If we don’t get some of this<br />
equipment back, there will be an<br />
impact on discharges over the<br />
busy winter months.<br />
“If anyone has any equipment<br />
that’s sitting unused and unneeded<br />
in their home or garage,<br />
please return it to Christchurch or<br />
Burwood hospitals.”<br />
The call also applies to secondhand<br />
shops, which may have been<br />
donated equipment that belongs<br />
to Te Whatu Ora.<br />
Hospital officials are on the<br />
hunt for walking frames, shower<br />
stools, toilet frames, bed levers,<br />
crutches, pulse oximeters and<br />
any other hospital equipment expatients<br />
no longer need.<br />
People who still have property<br />
are asked to return the equipment<br />
at specific drop-off locations<br />
at Burwood or Christchurch<br />
hospitals.<br />

‘Not all spaces are youth friendly’<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Adams: “We had<br />
youth workers there last year<br />
and other future plans include<br />
having the school’s jazz band<br />
play in the court and displaying<br />
students’ artwork at the mall<br />
as well as a space where young<br />
people hang out and can feel<br />
safe.<br />
“We know not all spaces are<br />
youth friendly and we want to<br />
see what we could be doing as<br />
we would all love to do more,”<br />
he said.<br />
Adams said the trust wants to<br />
be able to connect to students<br />
when they finish school at<br />
2.30pm.<br />
“It has been really good<br />
so far, better than I thought.<br />
We have been approached by<br />
Eastgate<br />
mall to<br />
discuss this,<br />
but the key<br />
thing is<br />
the<br />
relationships<br />
between<br />
malls and the<br />
Hamish<br />
Flynn<br />
surrounding<br />
high schools.”<br />
Trust<br />
manager<br />
Hamish Flynn said bus stops<br />
and malls are problematic areas<br />
and, even though they cannot<br />
completely stop problems, there<br />
are things they can put in place<br />
to help.<br />
“We were waiting for<br />
everything to line up and for<br />
funding to be able to start this<br />
A Leader in Healthcare Excellence<br />

didn’t want to go in alone,”<br />
Flynn said.<br />
“We wanted to go in as a<br />

drop last year when we<br />
TROUBLE: A<br />
lack of public<br />
spaces has led<br />
to altercations<br />
between<br />
young people<br />
at Northlands<br />
shopping<br />
centre.<br />
introduced the programme.”<br />
Community board deputy<br />
chair Simon Britten said the<br />
mall has become the place<br />
for youth to go and has been<br />
recognised for future conflicts<br />
to happen after<br />
school.<br />
“The lack<br />
of public<br />
spaces in<br />
the area is a<br />
contributing<br />
factor and, in<br />
my opinion,<br />
it is an unmet<br />
need in the<br />
Papanui area,”<br />
he said.<br />
Simon<br />
Britten<br />
Britten said the board began<br />
working collaboratively with<br />
other community and youth<br />
organisations late last year to<br />
help support good behaviour at<br />
the shopping centre.<br />
“We had youth workers at the<br />
mall during term three and four<br />
that helped support positive<br />
behaviour as well as support<br />
mall staff with interactions with<br />
youth.”<br />
He said they have revisited<br />
it this year as it is an ongoing<br />
initiative on the community<br />
board’s radar and it wants to<br />
keep growing it.<br />
“There is a need for a space<br />
for youth to be youth, so future<br />
plans include working on a<br />
youth, health and well-being<br />
space.”<br />

HISTORIC: The bell<br />
was collected from<br />
Rangi Ruru by<br />
Billy Williams from<br />
the Deep Cove<br />
Outdoor Education<br />
Trust with deputy<br />
principal Stephanie<br />
Barnett on hand to<br />
see it off.<br />
Right – The bell has<br />
presented to Rangi<br />
Ruru in 1964 by<br />
Bob Round who<br />
was an engineer<br />
on the MS<br />
Wanganella and<br />
had a daughter at<br />
the school.<br />
Rangi’s old bell on the move<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
THE OLD school bell that used<br />
to ring out over Rangi Ruru<br />
Girls’ School has returned home<br />
to Fiordland.<br />
The bell originally came from<br />
the ocean liner, MS Wanganella,<br />
which was launched in 1929.<br />
The ship travelled between New<br />
Zealand and Australia for about<br />
15 years before running aground<br />
in Wellington Harbour in 1947.<br />
It was then refloated and<br />
became a floating hostel in Deep<br />
Cove, Doubtful Sound, for workers<br />
on the Manapouri hydroelectric<br />
power scheme.<br />
Rangi Ruru deputy principal<br />
Stephanie Barnett said the bell<br />
was a part of the school for about<br />
60 years.<br />
“It is an important part of<br />
New Zealand maritime history,”<br />
Barnett said.<br />
“It has not been hung here at<br />
the school for a number of years,<br />
and we are so pleased to pass on<br />
the care-taking of the bell to the<br />
trust and are excited to hear the<br />
bell ring once again.”<br />
The bell was presented to the<br />
school in 1964 by Bob Round<br />
who was an engineer while the<br />
ship was in Deep Cove and<br />

Thursday <strong>July</strong> <strong>27</strong> <strong>2023</strong> 7<br />
National titles continue Kartstore<br />
team’s ‘extraordinary’ three years<br />
THREE NATIONAL titles<br />
in key kartsport development<br />
classes Vortex Mini Rok, Rotax<br />
Light and Cadet Rok – and a<br />
clean sweep of the podium in<br />
VMR – have been highlights so<br />
far this season for the team at<br />
WKS Kartstore.<br />
When you consider director<br />
Matt Hamilton and his father<br />
John have 30 New Zealand<br />
Sprint titles in karting between<br />
them, their success is less of a<br />
surprise.<br />
The team, which has operated<br />
in Christchurch for four decades,<br />
guided Zach Tucker to national<br />
honours in VMR – his third in a<br />
row – Caleb Cross in Rotax Light<br />
and Iver Spence in Cadet Rok,<br />
while Henry Fisher and Aryan<br />
Lala filled the podium with Jack<br />
McGrath fifth in Vortex Mini<br />
Rok.<br />
“We have had an extraordinary<br />
last three years,” said Matt.<br />
“Along with TC Performance,<br />
we have won the last three Cadet<br />
and Mini Rok NZ Sprint titles.<br />
That’s every national sprint title<br />
in those classes since the inception<br />
of the 950 homologated<br />
chassis. And we have won five of<br />
the last six VMR national sprint<br />
titles. It is a great run.<br />
“I love it. Our core focus is the<br />
young guys. They are the ones<br />
travelling and chasing championships.<br />
I love working with<br />
them.”<br />
He said it was very rewarding<br />
to see their passion grow.<br />
“When they get in to it, often<br />
it is just something to try with<br />
the family, but to see it grow to<br />
a passion and see their development<br />
is pretty cool. And it is nice<br />
to help with that.”<br />
Let’s not forget those “young<br />
kids” grow up – and the WKS<br />
Kartstore team have continued<br />
to nurture them.<br />
It’s quite a list, but includes the<br />
likes of Marcus Armstrong, now<br />
in IndyCar; 17-year-old Jacob<br />
Douglas, based in Indianapolis<br />
and impressing in the feeder<br />
class to IndyCar; teenager Callum<br />
Hedge, who has made a successful<br />
start to his Porsche racing<br />
season in Australia; and NZ Elite<br />
Academy winner James Penrose.<br />
The list started with father<br />
John, who began racing karts<br />
in the 1970s and gained success<br />
overseas, mostly in England,<br />
before returning to start the<br />
business in 1981. He drove 100cc<br />
classes in NZ and England.<br />
“He started racing in his mid-<br />
20s – everything was done later<br />
in life. It was not professional<br />
then – just racing for the passion<br />
and the folly,” said Matt.<br />
Matt and sister Fiona grew up<br />
in motorsport and both raced.<br />
Matt raced the 2001 Rotax World<br />
Finals in Malaysia, where he met<br />
a racing team from Bahrain, who<br />
invited him to join them 24-hour<br />
kart racing in Asia.<br />
“Ï was meant to go back to<br />
New Zealand for uni, but instead<br />
I went straight to Oman, and<br />
travelled regularly to the Middle<br />
East, Asia, and Europe, which<br />
was quite exciting. There were<br />
no race car tracks in the Middle<br />
East so karting and rally were<br />
the focus. It was quite big and<br />
attracted big sponsors and backers,”<br />
Matt said.<br />
The team was backed by the<br />
Crown Prince of Bahrain, and<br />
with their help, Matt’s intention<br />
was to compete in Formula<br />
Renault in the UK. When that<br />
programme wound down, Matt<br />
returned home to race successfully<br />
for the Karcher team in the<br />
Toyota Racing series, winning<br />
the Lady Wigram Trophy, and<br />
eventually moving to Auckland<br />
to work for the sponsor. There,<br />
he met Ron Dixon who helped<br />
him into Indy Lights in the USA.<br />
“The Indy Light experience<br />
was amazing. It was a huge step<br />
up and a culture shock. It was<br />
more ovals than road courses.<br />
This was a completely new<br />
experience for me, unlike the<br />
guys I was racing against, some<br />
of which had been racing on<br />
ovals since they could first drive<br />
a go-kart.<br />
“You go to the fairgrounds<br />
on a Sunday mornings and kids<br />
are racing staggered go karts on<br />
circle tracks, that was the American<br />
culture. The cars were big<br />

powerful V8s and it was a steep<br />
learning curve.<br />
“We were a one-car team<br />
with a very limited budget, and<br />
while it could not last, it was an<br />
unforgettable and rewarding<br />
experience.”<br />
Matt returned home, and<br />
after a stint with Team Kiwi in<br />
Australia racing V8s, he joined<br />
his father in the business in<br />
Christchurch, developing the<br />
burgeoning karting operation,<br />
supplying karts and parts, building<br />
engines, and establishing the<br />
race team.<br />
Racing has now taken a back<br />
seat to help the youngsters, but<br />
you’ll still see Matt in a race<br />
car where he can – in 2022, he<br />
became the only racer in NZ history<br />
to add The Wigram Cup to<br />
his Lady Wigram Trophy.<br />
Over the last decade Matt has<br />
been joined by Tiffany, threetime<br />
British Kart Champion and<br />
arguably the best female karter<br />
to grace the sport in Europe.<br />
TC Performance was launched,<br />
which has greatly complimented<br />
the WKS operation, providing<br />
one-on-one coaching and<br />
advanced high-performance tuition<br />
in and out of the kart, and<br />
race-craft guidance.<br />
“There has always been a<br />
huge amount of talent running<br />
through here. While Tiff and I<br />
are at races with the race team,<br />
then Dad is at home looking<br />
after the business and building<br />
engines. It is working well.”<br />
The reward is to see the development<br />
of the young drivers – in<br />
and out of the kart.<br />
“They are a group of young<br />
people who work well together,<br />
and share data, which is not easy.<br />
They get to use the previous data<br />
from the likes of Jacob Douglas,<br />
then likewise they understand<br />
that others will view their data to<br />
help us improve them as drivers<br />
too,” said Matt.<br />
“They are all such great<br />
kids. Jacob and Marcus, for<br />
instance, have both turned into<br />
great people. We would not be<br />
working with them if they were<br />
not good kids. That is the most<br />
important and rewarding part of<br />
what we do.”<br />

Diverse voices encouraged<br />
to have input in city’s future<br />
FOR THE past two years<br />
Henry Jaiswal has been part of<br />
a multicultural committee that<br />
provides advice and feedback<br />
on the views, concerns and<br />
aspirations of the city’s diverse<br />
ethnic communities.<br />
“It’s really important that<br />
we have this voice within the<br />
Christchurch City Council, and<br />
have input from different cultures,<br />
especially from an engagement<br />
perspective,” said Jaiswal.<br />
“If you want to work for the<br />
community you need to hear<br />
from the community, you need<br />
knowledge of how different communities<br />
operate, not just two or<br />
three. Christchurch is home to<br />
many diverse cultures, so we act<br />
as a conduit between these communities<br />
and the council.”<br />
Jaiswal was elected chair of<br />
the multicultural committee last<br />
year, which met every six weeks.<br />
“We are composed of around<br />
13 representatives from different<br />
ethnic backgrounds who volunteer<br />
their time. Currently there<br />
are more than 160 ethnicities in<br />
Christchurch, but we try to have<br />
representation from some of the<br />
major groups including Chinese,<br />
Indian, Filipino, Somalian,<br />
Afghani, Irish, Russian, Colombian,<br />
etc,” he said.<br />
ENGAGEMENT:<br />
Chair of the<br />
city council’s<br />
Multicultural<br />
Committee Henry<br />
Jaiswal said<br />
it’s important<br />
different cultures<br />
have a voice<br />
within the city<br />
council. The<br />
multicultural<br />
advisory group<br />
is looking<br />
for five new<br />
members. PHOTO:<br />
NEWSLINE<br />
Jaiswal is originally from India<br />
and came to New Zealand to<br />
study aircraft engineering. He<br />
met his Kiwi/French wife Anne<br />
here, and they are now raising<br />
their daughter in Beckenham.<br />
“I think the image of the city<br />
has improved a lot over the past<br />
10 years. It’s been slow progress,<br />
because in a big city things move<br />
slowly but there’s been progress,<br />
nonetheless.<br />
“We’ve recently secured the<br />
Christchurch Netball Centre in<br />
Hagley Park, which is going to<br />
be a new Multicultural Recreation<br />
and Community Centre.<br />
It’s currently set to open on<br />
March 5, 2024 and the council<br />
just hired a manager to run it.<br />
That’s huge progress. We will be<br />
the first city in New Zealand to<br />
have a council-operated and run<br />
multicultural centre and in one<br />
of the most beautiful parts of the<br />
city – it’s a great achievement,”<br />
he said.<br />
Jaiswal said while there’s room<br />
for improvement, it shows having<br />
an inclusive environment<br />
where people’s voices are listened<br />
to has an impact.<br />
“Decisions made by the council<br />
affect the community, and<br />
they can be a powerful force for<br />
positive change.”<br />
The multicultural advisory<br />
group is looking for five members<br />
of the community to join it.<br />
The commitment is two hours<br />
every second month with the<br />
opportunity to provide advice<br />
based on lived experience.<br />

THREE 16M lighting poles are<br />
to be installed as the first step in<br />
more development of Avonhead<br />
Park.<br />
The application by FC Twenty<br />
11 Football Club was approved<br />
by the Waimāero Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />
Board.<br />
The sports field lights are to be<br />
used on weekdays, Monday to<br />
Friday only, between 4.30-9pm.<br />
Club chair Neil Prior said it<br />
was fantastic to have the lights<br />
approved and supported, as it<br />
was part of their vision to develop<br />
the park.<br />
“We see Avonhead Park as our<br />
long-term home and we hope to<br />
further develop the clubrooms<br />
and have a community pavilion<br />
that is multi-purpose.<br />
“The lights are phase one of<br />
this vision,” he said.<br />
Prior said Christchurch does<br />
not have many sports fields, let<br />
alone ones with lights.<br />
“It is a big problem as lots of<br />
sports fields do not have lights<br />
and especially during winter,<br />
they are needed from about<br />
4.30pm onwards for people to<br />
play and train.”<br />
Prior said next steps include<br />
costing and funding for the<br />
lights.<br />

Mediterranean staples go gluten free<br />
Author Helen<br />
Tzouganatos goes<br />
gluten free in her<br />
new Mediterranean<br />
cookbook<br />
Lamb and spinach<br />
gozleme<br />
Crispy, golden gluten-free<br />
Turkish gozleme can be easily<br />
whipped up in under 20 minutes,<br />
so it’s the perfect snack. The<br />
dough comes together very<br />
quickly and while it’s resting, you<br />
can quickly make your filling<br />
of choice. I love a spiced lamb<br />
mince filling when I feel like a<br />
break from spinach and feta, but<br />
you can get as creative as you<br />
like. Don’t overfill the gozleme –<br />
the flatter the parcel the crispier<br />
it will get when it hits the hot<br />
frying pan.<br />
Serves 6<br />
Ingredients<br />
Dough:<br />
260g (2 cups) gluten-free selfraising<br />
flour<br />
90g (⅓ cup) Greek yoghurt (or<br />
coconut yoghurt for dairy free)<br />
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil<br />
½ tsp sea salt flakes<br />
Lamb and spinach filling:<br />
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil<br />
1 small onion, finely chopped<br />
pinch of sea salt flakes<br />
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped<br />
½ tsp paprika<br />
½ tsp ground cumin<br />
Pinch of freshly ground black<br />
pepper<br />
250g lamb mince<br />
Large handful of baby spinach<br />
leaves<br />
Olive oil, for pan-frying<br />
Lemon wedges, to serve<br />
Directions<br />
Combine all the dough<br />
ingredients in the bowl of an<br />
electric mixer fitted with the<br />
dough hook attachment, add<br />
125ml (½ cup) of warm water<br />
and mix on medium speed for 1<br />
minute to form a smooth dough.<br />
If the mixture is too dry, add<br />
a little more water and mix<br />
again. Set the dough aside to rest,<br />
TASTY: Turkish gozleme can be easily whipped up in under<br />
20 minutes. PHOTO: ODT<br />
uncovered, while you make the<br />
filling.<br />
To make the filling, heat the<br />
olive oil in a frying pan over<br />
medium heat.<br />
Add the onion and salt and<br />
cook for 5 minutes to soften. Stir<br />
in the garlic, paprika, cumin and<br />
black pepper and cook for 30<br />
seconds.<br />
Add the lamb and cook,<br />
breaking up any chunks with a<br />
wooden spoon, for 3 minutes or<br />
until browned. Add the spinach,<br />
stir and cook for 1 minute to<br />
wilt.<br />
Remove from the heat and set<br />
aside.<br />
Divide the dough into six balls.<br />
Working with one ball at a time,<br />
roll out the dough between two<br />
sheets of baking paper to form a<br />
paper-thin rectangle about 20cm<br />
x 30cm in size.<br />
Scatter 3 Tbsp of the lamb<br />
and spinach filling in the centre,<br />
leaving a clear border of roughly<br />
8cm around the edges.<br />
Fold the dough over the filling<br />
to enclose. Cover with baking<br />
paper and very gently roll out<br />
again to flatten and thin out<br />
the gozleme. Repeat with the<br />
remaining dough and filling.<br />
Place a heavy-based frying pan<br />
over high heat and allow it to<br />
heat up.<br />
Drizzle 1 Tbsp of olive oil<br />
into the very hot pan and cook<br />
the gozleme, one at a time,<br />
adding more oil as needed, for<br />
2-3 minutes on each side until<br />
golden and crispy. Serve with<br />
lemon wedges.<br />
Filling variations<br />
Spinach and feta: combine<br />
135g (3 cups) baby spinach, 3<br />
sliced spring onions and 200g<br />
crumbled feta.<br />
Potato and cheese: combine<br />
460g (2 cups) mashed potato,<br />
150g grated mozzarella, a<br />
handful of finely chopped flatleaf<br />
parsley leaves, ½ tsp paprika<br />
and salt and pepper.<br />

Aidanfield<br />
Christian School<br />
Aidanfield Christian School is<br />
focused on an excellent standard of<br />
learning for all our pupils within a<br />
context of strong biblical values, family<br />
involvement and an emphasis on<br />
knowing all our pupils well.<br />
‘Grow in Wisdom and Stature,<br />
Stand and Be Confident’ is our motto.<br />
We want our pupils to stand and be<br />
confident in the communities they<br />
will take their place in and believe<br />
that education is a lot more than just<br />
learning facts and figures, or training<br />
for employment. The truths of God’s<br />
word address all areas of life and impact<br />
on our response to each child, be it;<br />
spiritual, academic, physical, social or<br />
emotional. We believe that our school<br />
offers pupils the significant benefits of<br />
a local school with a strong community<br />
and family environment.<br />

wider curriculums in History, Geography,<br />
Science and Spanish. IT literacy is<br />
taught, not assumed, and computer use is<br />
measured. We like teaching and talking to<br />
our pupils!<br />

are enjoyed weekly, and many pupils<br />
participate in individual itinerant lessons.<br />
Our several choirs, Stage Band and<br />
Orchestra perform regularly. Sporting and<br />
Inter-house events raise passions.<br />
Our senior programme, Parare, advances<br />
our Year 7 & 8 education outside the box,<br />

Does Mazda’s 1.9-litre diesel turbo deliver?<br />
MAZDA IS hoping for an uplift<br />
in buyer interest in two of the<br />
most affordable versions of its<br />
BT-50 ute, as it feels the sales<br />
heat from a host of rivals.<br />
Mazda’s response is a new<br />
1.9-litre turbo-diesel motor<br />
for its price-leading 2WD GSX<br />
and GTX double cabs, the only<br />
body style offered here. Can this<br />
motor with its modest engine<br />
capacity and power output add<br />
more spring to the BT-50’s sales<br />
step?<br />
Just to refresh your memory –<br />
the latest BT-50 has been around<br />
since early 2021. Apart from cosmetic<br />
differences, it is a rebadged<br />
Isuzu D-Max.<br />
Offering a 1.9-litre turbo diesel<br />
gives the BT-50 a major point<br />
of difference over its rivals with<br />
its low CO2 output of 205g/km.<br />
Mazda claim it’s the lowest CO2<br />
figure of any diesel double cab<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
ute on our market. This means<br />
it attracts a lower government<br />
clean car fee than most of its<br />
rivals.<br />
The 1.9-litre motor also saves<br />
a fair wad of your hard-earned<br />
cash compared to the 3.0-litre<br />
turbo diesel in its AWD sibling.<br />
The smaller power plant incurs a<br />
$1868 fee. That’s $3767 less than<br />
the clean car fee bounty on an<br />
AWD BT-50.<br />
This new, smaller motor<br />
capacity is exclusive to the price<br />
leading GSX and mid-spec GTX<br />
2WD. The GSX supplied for this<br />
road test heads the BT-50’s value<br />
for money charge at $48,740, plus<br />
the clean car fee.<br />
This frugal four-cylinder<br />
turbo diesel is feisty enough with<br />
110kW of power and 350Nm<br />
of torque. The latter is about<br />
100Nm down on the larger<br />
3.0-litre put to work in the AWD<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
BT-50. Despite less power and<br />
torque, its towing capabilities are<br />
only marginally down on these<br />
models.<br />
The Isuzu-sourced 1.9-litre is<br />
widely used in BT-50 and D-Max<br />
models sold in Southeast Asia,<br />
including Thailand, where both<br />
models are produced. It’s a tough<br />
wee motor, yet unexpectedly<br />
smooth and refined. Acceleration<br />
from standing starts and in-gear<br />
is brisk, but you are always aware<br />
that with its modest engine<br />
capacity it has to work harder<br />
for the same results delivered by<br />
the larger diesels powering in<br />
its competitors. Enabling it to<br />
punch above its weight is a smart<br />
six-speed automatic well versed<br />
in selecting the right gear at the<br />
right time.<br />
A generously proportioned<br />
cabin has plenty of front and<br />
rear legroom, while the seats<br />
are supportive and comfy. The<br />
instruments and controls for key<br />
functions such as lights, wipers<br />
and indicators are easy to operate<br />
and read.<br />
For a price-driven model the<br />
GSX lacks for little in the way<br />
of features and driver creature<br />
comforts. A touch screen infotainment<br />
system supports both<br />
Apple CarPlay and Android<br />
Auto, with a multi-information<br />
display providing key driving<br />
information are standard.<br />
This model has a host of classleading<br />
active safety technologies<br />
to help keep the driver out of<br />
trouble. These include Autonomous<br />
Emergency Braking with<br />
Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection,<br />
Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind<br />
Spot Monitoring, and Lane Departure<br />
Warning.<br />
The delicate balance between<br />
ride comfort and road holding<br />
is right on the mark and as<br />
good as you will find among the<br />
current crop of utes. With the<br />
BT-50 you get as standard class<br />
leading suspension refinement,<br />
although the firmer rear spring<br />
settings make its low-speed ride<br />
over uneven surfaces fidgety. The<br />
test ute cornered confidently,<br />
with the experience made more<br />
enjoyable by well weighted and<br />
communicative steering.<br />
