Squash club staying put after arbitration 

• By Dylan Smits 

THE MT PLEASANT Squash 

Club appears to have won a key 

battle in its bid not to be kicked 

out of its premises by the adjacent 

community centre. 

Bay Harbour News has learned 

the club can keep its license to 

occupy the premises owned by the 

Mt Pleasant Community Centre. 

The decision has come out of 

arbitration between the parties. 

The dispute began in April last 

year when the community centre 

claimed the squash club was in 

breach of its license conditions 

allowing it to occupy the McCormacks 

Bay Rd courts facility. 

The community centre issued 

a termination notice in April last 

year which would have forced the 

squash club to vacate the premises 

by the end of May and revert management 

of the courts back to the 

centre. 

Both sides then engaged lawyers 

and agreed to a private arbitration. 

The hearings were held in February 

and March, with the decision 

released this week. 

The process has cost the parties 

$9100 each. 

Squash club president Hamish 

Methven and community centre 

manager Derek McCullough both 

declined to talk to Bay Harbour 

News about the arbitration. They 

would also not be drawn on any 

potential further legal action.

Farmer calls for co-ordinated 

effort to cull wild pigs 


A LITTLE River farmer says 

ongoing population control is 

needed to stop “absolute pest” 

wild pigs from damaging his 

land and killing his lambs. 

Pete Wright noticed the 

number of pigs on his Western 

Valley Rd property increase over 

recent years. This has reduced 

significantly over the past 12 

months, thanks to hunting by 

groups like Pest Free Banks Peninsula, 

but Wright’s concerns 

remain. 

“Honestly it looks like you’ve 

gone through with a D8 dozer 

and ploughed the land. They 

move big boulders and stuff. 

There’s some big old pigs out 

there.” 

To avoid the problem arising 

again he wants hunting to 

continue as Environment Canterbury 

looks to engage with 

the community on the issue at a 

meeting tonight. 

For Wright, one of his big 

concerns is pigs killing his 

livestock. 

“It affects your lambing 

percentage. These sows and big 

boars get quite cunning when 

FERAL: An increase in wild pigs damaging farmland 

around Little River has led to a community meeting with 

ECan tonight. 

PHOTO: ECAN 

the sheeps are starting to lamb,” 

he said. 

Dug up land also leads 

to weeds such as thistles 

blooming, which can 

cause sheep to contract 

scabby mouth disease. 

Wright is open to an 

official programme for 

eradicating the pigs, 

similar to the successful 

Banks Peninsula 

wild goat eradication 

campaign that finished in 

March. 

“If we don’t keep on they’re 

Laurence 

Smith 

going to keep breeding,” he said. 

“If there’s spare money and 

systems to get these 

pigs gone, that needs to 

happen.” 

ECan principal biosecurity 

adviser Laurence 

Smith said the meeting 

will help attendees 

“explore ways to work 

together and seek more 

funding to support the 

control of deer and other 

feral ungulate populations.” 

There are currently no population 

estimates for deer or pigs 

around Little River, but ECan 

believes a lack of natural predators 

has led to an increase over 

the past few years. 

Conservation groups, landowners, 

the city council and 

ECan co-ordinated a successful 

goat eradication programme, 

which fully eliminated the pest 

east of Lyttelton Harbour in 

March. 

Smith said deer and pigs 

can also have a detrimental 

impact on the environment by 

destroying native plants and 

seeds. 

Western Valley landowner 

Mario Downes has noticed an 

increase in deer and pigs wandering 

through the farmland 

around his property over the 

past few years. 

He hopes any funding programme 

or co-ordination with 

ECan will take into account the 

current approach of hunters. 

“The meat should be feed 

back into the community. They 

shouldn’t just be shot and left 

like was done with a lot of the 

goats,” he said. 

The meeting will be held at 

the Banks Peninsula Rugby 

Club from 5.30-7pm.

Pet cat loses leg in gin trap 

• By Claire Reid 

A HEATHCOTE Valley cat 

owner has issued a warning after 

his beloved pet got caught in a 

gin trap and lost his leg. 

Matthew House has owned 

his black cat Julian for two 

years and is used to him going 

in and out as he pleases, but 

was recently left horrified after 

the feline returned home with 

serious injuries. 

“He managed to make his way 

home and was curled up on the 

bed,” House said. 

“My wife got up in the 

morning but didn’t initially 

realise anything was wrong until 

she turned the light on and that’s 

when she saw him – all the skin 

had been ripped off his leg and 

his paw was basically hanging 

off.” 

Following a frantic rush to 

the vet, House was given the 

devastating news Julian’s injuries 

were so severe he would need 

to have his left leg amputated. 

Worryingly, House says the 

vet who treated Julian said she 

had seen an increase in injuries 

to pets caused by leg-hold traps 

– often known as gin traps. 

“The vet said she’s seeing 

more and more of these 

types of injuries and that 

they’re happening in central 

Christchurch – not just rural 

IMPACT: Matthew House’s cat Julian, before and after his leg was amputated as a result 

of being caught in a gin trap. He said the traps should be banned. 

areas,” House said. 

There’s no way of knowing 

where the trap was set, but 

House believes whoever set it 

must have found Julian and 

freed him, as escaping from the 

traps is virtually impossible. 

House is now calling on those 

who use such traps to reconsider. 

“I know that pests have to be 

dealt with but there are plenty of 

safe and humane traps that can 

be used to catch possums and 

the like,” he said. 

“Gin traps should be banned; 

even if it caught a possum that’s 

no way to leave an animal to die.” 

In New Zealand, the sale and 

use of such traps are restricted 

by size and type. The Ministry 

of Primary Industries says: 

“No leg-hold trap may be used 

within 150m of a dwelling 

without the permission of the 

occupier, or in any area where 

there is a probable risk of 

catching a pet animal.”

Farming 

family fined 

$47,000 

A BANKS Peninsula farmer 

has been fined, along with his 

son, for failing to register cattle 

movements. 

Keith Bruce Townshend, 69, and 

his son Joel Charles Townshend, 

39, were sentenced on Monday in 

the Ashburton District Court after 

a successful prosecution by the 

Ministry for Primary Industries. 

Under the National Animal 

Identification and Tracing 

scheme, cattle and deer must have 

NAIT tags and be registered in 

the NAIT system before they are 

180 days old or moved off-farm. 

Keith Townshend ran farms on 

Banks Peninsula and in Ashburton. 

He was fined $20,000 on two 

charges under the NAIT Act for 

moving cattle between Akaroa 

and Forks in 2022 without declaring 

it. 

Joel Townshend – who operated 

farms in the Ashburton district 

– was fined $27,500 on three 

charges. 

Said MPI regional manager 

animal welfare and NAIT compliance 

Murray Pridham: “MPI 

takes non-compliance with NAIT 

seriously. 

“The scheme provides a critical 

tool in the fight against biosecurity 

incursions such as M.bovisor foot 

and mouth disease.”

FAILED: The Mt Pleasant Community Centre’s bid to evict the squash club 

from their shared premises was unsuccessful. 

License breaches not 

enough for eviction 

• From page 1 

They cited the need to discuss the 

implications further with their respective 

committees. 

However, Bay Harbour News has learned 

the reasons behind the decision. 

The arbitrator ruled the squash club had 

breached some license conditions but also 

determined the community centre failed 

to disclose those conditions before serving 

a termination notice. 

This failure to inform was the critical 

reason why the arbitrator ruled the termination 

notice invalid. 

The main issues debated during arbitration 

were whether the squash club had 

breached its license conditions, and if any 

breaches gave the community centre the 

right to terminate the license. 

The alleged breaches included the squash 

club having members who are not also 

members of the community centre. 

Bay Harbour News has learned this 

breach was found inconclusive because the 

non-payment of an annual subscription 

from the squash club to the community 

centre made all dual memberships between 

the groups unclear. 

However, the squash club had made a 

different breach – the club’s committee 

did not have a member who was also part 

of the community centre. The community 

centre was aware of this for years and no 

action was taken. 

Another breach was proven accurate. 

The squash club failed to provide a required 

annual financial statement at the 

end of 2022. 

Despite the breaches, the community 

centre’s responsibility as the property 

owner to inform the squash club of its 

obligations outweighed any violations.

Coffee cart creating budding baristas 


A CREW OF 12-year-olds 

have been perfecting the art of 

making and delivering coffee like 

professionals far beyond their 

years. 

They are part of the Heathcote 

Valley School coffee cart crew, a 

hand-picked team of year 8s who 

get up early twice a week to pump 

out a range of beverages for parents 

and teachers. 

The cart was set up just after 

the earthquakes and has helped 

a new crew of year 8s learn 

coffee-making and service skills 

each year since then. 

“Before we started I had no idea 

how to work a coffee machine or 

anything. I couldn’t tell the difference 

between coffees,” Hanaka 

Sato said. 

Since joining the coffee cart 

at the start of the year, Hanaka 

and the crew have become adept 

at preparing a standard range 

of coffees, including flat whites, 

cappuccinos and long blacks. 

Rata Smith, Johnnie Alheit and 

Maya Filipe-Taylor make up the 

rest of the Monday morning shift 

team. 

The group operates the cart 

like a typical cafe, taking orders, 

payment, making the coffee 

and then delivering it to waiting 

customers. 

“At the start of last term we 

kind of had to be at their side, 

helping them through it. Now I 

can mostly sit outside chatting. 

They’ve got really great at it,” 

said parent organiser Hannah 

Woodward. 

The coffee cart is located in the 

school library and run by parent 

volunteers. 

Pupils must apply for a position 

on the team like they would a real 

job with a CV touting their good 

academic record, extracurriculars 

and personal responsibility. 

“I think it’s pretty cool. It’s 

almost setting us up for a real job 

later in life,” said Rata. 

All four pupils feel prepared if 

they ever decided to get work as 

a barista. 

“We can put it on our CVs in 

the future for jobs,” said Hanaka. 

Running the cart was confusing 

at first but the crew can now 

skilfully take and make customers 

orders, with a smile. 

“At the start I was very, very 

shy,” said Hanaka. 

Interacting with customers 

and being part of the team has 

increased her confidence. 

“Joining the coffee cart, it’s 

often for kids who maybe aren’t 

the most outgoing, or like academically 

skilled or sporty, but 

they can come and make coffees 

and learn skills and get some 

confidence while doing it,” said 

Woodward.

Unlocking greater success 

with business mentoring 

GIDEON BANKS is an accidental 

businessperson who is now helping 

others take the accidental out of their own 

businesses. 

In 2003 Gideon Banks was a Zoology 

student at university in Nigeria, when 

an interest in graphic design led to a gig 

designing websites. With the web industry 

booming, his side project quickly morphed 

into a start-up company of 38 staff, with 

Gideon at the helm. 

He’s now had an accomplished career 

leading teams in the digital marketing 

space, but reflecting on those early years, 

he acknowledges the importance of 

mentoring in helping others navigate their 

entrepreneurial path. 

“You don’t want to lose opportunities or 

spend months or years trying to figure it all 

out, when someone has already done it, and 

has the formula they could just give you.” 

Gideon arrived in New Zealand in 

2014 and has lapped up this country’s 

entrepreneurial spirit. His experience 

managing teams led him to Business 

Mentors New Zealand, and he now 

regularly mentors small business owners. 

Gideon says established business 

professionals possess hidden knowledge 

they may not be aware of. It’s what he 

refers to as “unconscious competence’’. By 

mentoring others, they can help unlock 

doors for people starting out. 

He says the independent spirit of New 

Zealanders means we are not always good at 

asking for help. 

“Kiwis like to build things on their own, 

and that’s great. The only thing is you can do 

it much faster and better with some help.” 

He says being a mentor also helps his own 

personal and professional growth and keeps 

him attuned to emerging trends in business. 

One of the greatest rewards comes 

from identifying quick wins for mentees. 

Simple actions like implementing Google 

Analytics or understanding search 

engine optimisation can yield substantial 

improvements in quick time. 

While mentors may not have all the 

answers, their role is vital in providing 

guidance and an avenue for idea 

exploration. 

“As a mentor you have a sense of 

responsibility, and I think that sense of 

responsibility is something that helps the 

business community as a whole.”

Generous move 

for rugby club day 

• By Sam Coughlan 

DIAMOND HARBOUR are gearing up 

for club day – and hosting a very special 

match. 

The club’s senior side plays as Diamond 

Harbour – Springston in the Ellesmere 

division 2 grade, due to a lack of numbers. 

To celebrate club day on Saturday, 

Springston’s division 1 side will travel to 

Diamond Harbour for their home clash 

against Woodend. 

This will be the first division 1 match to 

be played at the club. 

President Brent Elder said it would be a 

special occasion. 

“For the senior team and for the 

committee, I think it’s absolutely fantastic, 

we’re all excited to have a match of that 

calibre. 

Diamond Harbour’s players are 

registered with both their club and 

Springston – meaning they are eligible 

to play division 1 if selected, although 

only halfback Sam Rendel has appeared 

in a squad, coming off the bench against 

Darfield three weeks ago. 

Springston will wear Diamond 

Harbour’s sky-blue jerseys on Saturday 

not only to mark the occasion, but because 

their regular green and black hoops are 

identical to Woodend’s kit. 

Elder said he was looking forward to the 

day. 

“With the quality of the rugby with 

the combined team doing well and the 

division 1 team and the vibe around the 

juniors this season as well, I’m really 

looking forward to it. 

“It’ll be a real privilege to be down there 

in the president role supporting.” 

The club day starts with junior rugby at 

8am. The combined division 2 team plays 

against Banks Peninsula at 12.15pm before 

Springston take on Woodend at 3pm. 

REPRESENT: Diamond Harbour

player to have made the step up

Little Meow’s Big Surgery at Kōwhai Vet 

In a heart-warming tale of perseverance and veterinary 

expertise, the team at Kōwhai Vet recently undertook 

a life-saving surgery for a tiny rescue kitten named ‘Little 

Meow’. This courageous kitty, though full of life, was 

struggling with a condition that impeded her ability to eat 

and thrive. 

Little Meow’s journey began when she was found with her 

littermates at just a few weeks old. Despite her spirited 

nature, she couldn’t keep up with her siblings in terms 

of weight gain and was unable to hold down solid food. 

Concerned for her well-being, her caregivers brought her 

to Kōwhai Vet Clinic, where our dedicated team embarked 

on a mission to uncover the source of her troubles. 

We proceeded to use contrast imaging techniques to help 

highlight any abnormalities in the upper digestive tract 

in a series of x-rays. What we 

discovered was both alarming 

and enlightening. The liquid 

was pooling in the upper part 

of Little Meow’s oesophagus, 

unable to pass through to her 

stomach efficiently. Due to the 

location of the abnormality, 

the most likely cause was a 

vascular ring anomaly (VRA), 

a rare congenital condition, 

where a blood vessel normally 

present in the foetus fails to 

disintegrate soon after birth 

and leaves a persistent band 

of tissue that forms a tight 

ring around the oesophagus 

Enjoying her first 

meal after surgery 

causing significant 

constriction. 

The only viable solution was 

a surgical procedure to release the constriction and allow 

Little Meow to eat properly. Referral to a specialist surgeon 

was considered, but with limited resources for the owner, 

and euthanasia being the only alternative without 

surgery, we opted to perform the surgery ourselves. Our 

vets meticulously researched and planned the operation, 

while the excellent nursing team ensured Little Meow’s 

safety and comfort throughout the anaesthetic. 

The surgery, though delicate and intricate, was a 

resounding success. With expert precision, the team 

located and incised the offending band of tissue, freeing 

Little Meow’s oesophagus from its bind. Little Meow 

recovered quickly from her anaesthetic and within a 

couple of hours, she was eagerly devouring her food and 

keeping it all down. Probably the best meal she had ever 

eaten and a stark contrast to her struggles before the 

surgery. 

Since her operation, Little Meow has flourished. She has 

X-ray of Little Meow’s 

thorax, showing the 

upper part of the 

oesophagus very 

dilated with food 

and the contrast 

material. The arrow 

marks the point of 

the constriction. 

Little Meow climbing 

the cage bars before 

her surgery 

gained nearly a kilogram 

in weight with her newfound 

ability to consume 

food without hindrance. 

Her playful antics have 

resumed, and she is 

thriving in her loving 

home environment. 

Our team at Kōwhai 

Vet are thrilled to have 

been able to give Little 

Meow a second chance 

at life, and watching 

her progress serves as 

a great reminder of the 

transformative power of 

veterinary care.

Weenink’s U-turn on speed based on 

unofficial stats disappoints residents 

Last week Bay Harbour 

News reported Banks 

Peninsula MP Vanessa 

Weenink has changed 

her mind about 

increasing speed 

limits on SH75 after 

receiving crash data 

from Canterbury rural 

area police commander 

Peter Cooper 

We drive this highway very 

frequently and believe the 

80km/h speed limit is too low 

and 100km/h should be reinstated, 

or 90km/h at worst. 

That Ms Weenink and Mr 

Cooper will not release data (Bay 

Harbour News, May 1) renders it 

worthless in any arena. The reason 

they probably do not want 

the data released is that it covers 

the Covid period of lockdown 

and then the very slow uptake of 

foreign tourists returning to New 

Zealand following that Covid 

period. 

- Bruce Glennie, 

Church Bay 

Vanessa Weenink 

has made her mind up 

to make a submission 

to Parliament based 

on “brief anecdotal 

statistics” provided by a 

policeman. Sums up the 

quality of the politicians 

that make up Parliament these 

days. Dylan Thomsen (AA 

spokesman) makes far more 

sense and with the findings on 

accidents post 2021, I agree parts 

of the 80km/h section that include 

Halswell to Little River should be 

restored to 100km/h. 

-Tony Chandler 

Vanessa 

Weenink 

DEBATE: State Highway 75 between Halswell and Akaroa had speed limit reductions 

applied in September 2022. With the Government considering increasing speed limits on 

some state highways, debate has started on whether the limits should be raised on SH75. 

It’s too early in the current 

election cycle to make hard and 

fast judgments about some of 

the new MPs in our coalition 

Government. However, Vanessa 

Weenink and her “new” conclusion 

she would make a submission 

against raising the SH75 

speed limit, as a general rule, has 

somewhat blighted my views of 

this newly minted National MP. 

I guess what did it for me was 

when I read the article, 

she apparently has 

based her decision on 

information supplied to 

her by the police rural 

area commander Peter 

Cooper. However the 

article goes on to state an 

unnamed police spokesperson 

had pointed out 

the figures given by the 

commander to Vanessa 

were very brief, anecdotal numbers 

and not official statistics. 

It would also appear just a 

very limited piece of research by 

Bay Harbour News suggests the 

information supplied to Vanessa 

on the relationship between 

speed and crashes is simply not 

a creditable basis for the MP to 

propose her negative submission. 

It is clear Vanessa did no homework 

at all on this subject. 

-W. Bruce Whitfield, Sumner 

In regard to the speed limit on 

SH75, I feel reducing the speed 

limit to 80km/h from Halswell 

to Little River is actually causing 

issues. Often now there are 

huge queues of cars, invariably 

behind a slow car in front. This 

often results in frustration 

from those further back and 

aggressive drivers undertaking 

dangerous overtaking 

manoeuvres and putting 

innocent drivers at risk. If we 

return to 100km/h the faster 

cars can overtake and reduce 

the queues. Sixty kilometres per 

hour is all that is possible on the 

road between Little River and 

Akaroa. 

-Judith Young 

I think the speed limit 

from Halswell to Akaroa should 

be increased back to 100km/h. 

As far as I am concerned, 

there should be no decreased 

speed limits anywhere. 

According to your article, 

there has been only one less 

serious accident on the road in 

question since the speed limit 

was lowered, which statistically 

makes very little difference – 

certainly not enough to justify 

the inconvenience of everyone 

having to drive infuriatingly 

slowly for long distances. 

-Michael J. Brathwaite 

Some sections of SH75 should 

be returned to the previous 

100km/h posted speed limit, because 

drivers who obey the Road 

Code know the posted limit is 

the maximum and (as SH75 has 

a marked centreline throughout) 

they must reduce their speed so 

they can stop in the length of 

clear lane they can see in front of 

them. 

On most of SH75 this means 

you never could, sensibly, or 

legally, drive round the corners 

at 100km/h anyway. 

Reducing the limit to 80km/h, 

or even 60km/h, even on the 

long straight sections, because 

too many idiots either don’t 

know or don’t obey this blindingly 

obvious rule (in which 

case they should not have a driver 

licence), is a mistake because 

some bumblers will drive at 

75km, or 55km, respectively, either 

due to an inaccurate speedo, 

incorrect tyre diameter, or 

extreme paranoia around traffic 

police and speeding tickets. 

They will so infuriate 

competent drivers, especially 

those who know the road well 

and/or use it for commuting 

(and have probably done so 

for decades), that the latter 

will ignore the restrictions, 

increasing the overall risk by 

having a “two state solution” 

(fast and slow traffic on the same 

road). 

-Bill Heffernan, Lyttelton 

Thank you for your article 

regarding Vanessa Weenink’s 

U-turn on supporting returning 

SH75 back to 100km/h. 

As a professional driver I feel 

betrayed, as it was the key reason 

I voted the way I did in the last 

election. 

Speed reductions around New 

Zealand have cost my business 

tens of thousands of dollars of 

lost productivity and staff have 

left because of the extra nights 

away from family they now have 

to do on the same routes. 

Even more disappointing is the 

dishonest way it has been done, 

by not releasing the data Weenink 

says swayed her. 

Speed is a factor in physical 

injuries, but drugs and alcohol 

are a bigger factor on the crashes 

I have come across. It would be 

more effective to ban them to 

reduce the road toll, but let’s face 

it people would make their own 

(alcohol) and still crash. 

Poor driving standards in New 

Zealand licensing is a factor, 

Germany has a far lower fatality 

rate per person but has icy 

mountainous roads.

We need your help to fill our beds. 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has 

23 beds for tamariki to stay during 

times of whānau stress or crisis. On 

average just 17 of these beds are filled 

due to resourcing constraints. 

Every empty bed is a missed 

opportunity to support a child in need. 

Donate today to give Canterbury 

tamariki a safe place to sleep. 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides 

short term emergency or planned respite care 

for tamariki when they need extra support due 

to complications at home. 

Cholmondeley is an independent charity 

and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to 

run. 20% of this figure is met by Government 

funding, and the remaining 80% comes from 

the generous support of the Canterbury 

community.

Subaru’s smallest SUV still class-leading 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

SUBARU’S smallest SUV, the 

XV, has been rebranded as the 

Crosstrek and offers superior 

refinement, safety and standard 

equipment to its predecessor, but 

retains its class-leading off-road 

abilities, built around Subaru’s 

legendary symmetrical AWD 

system. 

Helping the Crosstrek achieve 

its impressive all-terrain 

drivability is its class-leading 

ground clearance of 220mm, 

which is sufficient to comfortably 

negotiate all but seriously rugged 

heavy duty surfaces. 

The Crosstrek may be all 

new in many departments, but 

its ageing normally aspirated 

2.0-litre Boxer engine isn’t one 

of them. It isn’t the most vibrant 

of performers and is comfortably 

upstaged by a bevy of newer 

engines offered by its rivals. 

Visually, the Crosstrek looks 

the modern SUV part, with the 

mandatory rugged cladding and 

roof rails, with a palate of bold 

colours for those serious about 

standing out from the motoring 

crowd. 

The Crosstrek has taken a 

sizeable leap in price over its 

predecessor the XV which had 

a sub-$40k model. Not with 

this newbie though. It starts 

at an ambitious $46,990 for 

the e-Boxer Hybrid, while the 

higher spec petrol Premium 

supplied for this road test retails 

for $48,990. If that isn’t enough 

to make some would-be buyers 

grimace, the $51,990 ask on the 

Hybrid Premium most likely 

will. 

Performance from the 115kW 

direct injection 2.0-litre petrol 

motor won’t set the pulse racing, 

but does a passable job. Whether 

that’s enough given its premium 

pricing, only time will tell. The 

latest version of this engine has 

undergone yet another round 

of improvements over its more 

than 15-year life. The changes 

have created a noticeably quieter 

and smoother power plant, 

but in-gear and standing start 

acceleration remains leisurely. 

Once up and rolling at open 

road speeds, it’s a capable 

enough cruiser and rolls back the 

kilometres effortlessly enough 

on long trips. I feel this engine 

is a bit of a treading water effort. 

You have to think a new motor 

must be on the horizon to keep 

the Crosstrek’s performance 

competitive, in a market where 

buyer expectations are increasing 

almost as quickly as the number 

of modern sophistication 

engines on offer in the compact 

SUV class. 

One of the best things about 

Crosstrek petrol-only models is 

an enhanced version of Subaru’s 

Lineartronic Transmission. 

More than 80 per cent of 

its components have been 

upgraded. 

SI-Drive and Auto Step Shift 

Control are retained to provide a 

more interactive driving option. 

At low throttle openings the 

gear change regime is infinitely 

variable like a conventional 

Subaru Lineartronic 

Transmission. However, at 

higher throttle openings it 

automatically adopts an eightspeed 

step control, with a more 

conventional sound and feel 

around acceleration as engine 

speed changes. The stepless 

gearbox does a good job of both 

harnessing and making best use 

of the engine’s modest power and 

torque outputs. 

The Crosstrek features a 

wide, flat load floor with a 

maximum opening width of 

1042mm, enabling easier cargo. 

A fold down rear seat splits 

60/40, providing a wider range 

of seating and load carrying 

configurations. 

Size-wise, this model is 

marginally larger than before, 

but is far from best in class 

with limited rear seat head and 

legroom, for those of above 

average height. 

Many potential buyers will 

be tempted to throw their new 

car cash behind the Crosstrek 

when they check out the updated 

technology. Leading the way 

is a larger 11.6-inch portrait 

infotainment touchscreen with 

improved graphics, wireless 

smartphone integration and 

voice command functionality. 

In a first for Subaru, a 

360 degree panoramic view 

monitor has also been added to 

improve camera and monitor 

performance. Two additional 

USB ports are provided for 

rear seat passengers and can be 

found on the back of the centre 

console. In another Subaru first, 

a wireless Qi charger is offered. 

This supports charging of 

smartphones and other devices 

that are compatible for wireless 

Qi charging standards by simply 

placing your device in the centre 

tray. 10W rapid charging is 

supported for a faster charging 

rate when using Apple CarPlay 

and Android Auto. 

Heading up a strong list of 

safety features is the latest take 

on Subaru’s EyeSight technology, 

now standard on all Crosstreks. 

This improved system 

uses high-resolution stereo 

cameras, as well as a wide-angle 

monocular camera, recognising 

potential dangers and obstacles 

ahead and warns the driver 

to act, or even automatically 

intervene. 

Depending on general 

visibility, the stereo cameras 

can see up to 130m ahead of the 

vehicle. All models are equipped 

with Vehicle Dynamics Control, 

with eight different stability 

and braking technologies, all 

designed to aid vehicle control in 

unexpected driving conditions. 

Front and rear springs and 

dampers have been retuned for 

improved comfort and driving 

stability under hard cornering. 

A proven formula for decades, 

Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical 

All-Wheel Drive resolutely 

plants the vehicle on the road 

providing a safer, more engaging, 

Rating out of 10: 

Performance 6; 

Handling 7; Build Quality 

7; Comfort 7; Passenger 

and Load Space 6; Fuel 

Average Consumption 

6.8L/100km, Value 

for Money 5; Five Star 

ANCAP crash rating; 

Clean car fee $2530. 

Overall points out of 

10: 6.5 

and balanced driving experience 

across a greater variety of 

surfaces. Giving Subaru’s 

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive 

system an important point of 

difference is that it drives all the 

wheels, all the time, and there 

is never a time when all four 

wheels are not being driven to 

some degree. 

The Crosstrek retains its 

class-leading ground clearance, 

ensuring sufficient daylight 

between the vehicle’s underbelly 

and ground below, to safely 

negotiate deep ruts and other 

confronting surfaces. Despite 

such a generous measure of 

ground clearance, body roll is 

kept neatly in check during brisk 

cornering. 

The steering is well weighted 

and provides plenty of road 

feel. Most importantly though, 

it convincingly delivers a sense 

that as the driver you are in 

command, and the steering is 

your obedient servant, devoted 

to give you the best driving 

experience it can.
