That’s because there aren’tany that really can go head to head.The XV is a car that benefits frompermanent all-wheel-drive as standard. Italso boasts the highest ground clearanceand is among the lightest vehicles in itsclass, aiding its genuine off-road ability,while a low centre of gravity enhances on-road handling.Recent changes to the XV’s suspensionhave also resulted in a smoother, morecompliant ride but without sacrificing anyof the stability that the XV is renownedfor. However, among the most importantimprovements is a revised cabin, whichnow features better-quality materials andan all-new touchscreen infotainment andnavigation system. The 7.0-inchtouchscreen display allows smartphone-style control, with a swipe and pinchfunction for map displays. The screenechoes the new blue glow of the driver’sinstrument binnacle which has beencompletely redesigned with new graphics.The overall result of these alterations is amore contemporary and cossetingambience. Indeed, the XV comes loaded up with akit list to rival some premium motormanufacturers. The infotainment systemand other vehicle functions can becontrolled through Subaru’s latest-generation voice control facility. Thisallows you to keep your eyes on the roadahead while selecting a favourite radiostation, setting a new satellite navigationdestination or changing the temperatureof the climate control system. Theinfotainment system also now houses astandard-fit rear view camera, offering acrystal clear wide 160-degree field of viewbehind the car when reversing.You can also expect traction control,front, side, curtain and knee airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels, and daytime LEDrunning lights.But, how does it drive? Well, itscertainly a hushed vehicle to drive - and alively one, too. A decent electronic powersteering system helps the drive by givinggood stability and feel. There’s a niceweight about the steering too, giving methe confidence to manoeuvre swiftly andprecisely along Lincolnshire’s A and Broads. And, as one would expect, safetyis extremely high, scoring Euro NCAP five-star crash safety performance. In fact, themodel has another ace up its sleeve: witha score of 90 per cent, it has one of thehighest marks in the industry for childprotection. So, if crossovers do it for you, thisshould certainly be on your list.Road test courtesy of Charles Warner,Outer Circle Road, LincolnIn a classof its own120-121_Layout 1 22/05/2017 12:44 Page 2122 LINCOLNSHIRETODAYOur seven days with Bentley’sContinental GT V8 S were enough toknow that, as long as Alzheimer’sdoesn’t kick in, the memories themighty machine helped create willalways stay locked in our minds.The GT V8 S model features a moreauthoritative version of Bentley’s 4-litre, twin-turbo V8 lump.

And while this is byno means a bad thing, it’s worth pointingout that there are other things children canbe doing to give them a competitive edgein life, and also an improved quality of life.Extra-curricular activities and clubs areone such prospect, and in many cases aresomething that neither parents norchildren particularly look forward to. Foradults it’s yet another school run, orbeing forced to pick the kids up later,The extramile© Shutterstock / Fotokostic while for children it eats into their freetime – something they have earned bygoing through the rigours of the schoolday. And yet, there are many reportedbenefits to attending clubs, not just interms of health and happiness – but alsofuture success.SocialisingJoining a sports team, academic club oreven learning an instrument with otherscan help a teen socialise with their peers.What’s more these clubs often open aperson’s social circle to people older,younger – or just those they hadn’t metbefore. Not only do children get theopportunity to make more friends, butthey also learn valuable conversation skillsthat will serve them well in all aspects offuture life. From the confidence tointroduce themselves and talk to anemployer in an interview, through to theskills necessary to diffuse an argumentwith loved ones. In a world where the social skills ofteenagers are well-known to be lacking,particularly in the employment market,early practice could make all the difference.A new school year comes to a close, and for those returning inSeptember, or even going to a new school, it’s a chance to try newthings, reinvent yourself – and maybe even pick up a new hobby. 124-126_Layout 1 22/05/2017 12:47 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY125 !

Events like these offerteens the chance to boost their self-esteem by learning skillstheir peers might otherwise not have, while at the same timeexperiencing success in competitions, sports games or throughachieving levels of mastery in a new skill. It’s worth pointing out as well that opening up to new skillsalso offers teens the chance to find something they truly love,be it a hobby – or even something they might take into a futurecareer. Often the only difference between successfulentrepreneurs and those who are consigned to the nine-to-fiveis confidence, self-esteem and an idea.Quality of LifeIt’s easy for an adult to look at what seems to be a rathersimplistic life of a teenager, and to assume that there are noproblems going on – that whatever issues they might have palein comparison to those the adult world faces. And in some waythis might be true, but that doesn’t mean quality of life isn’tsomething that young teenagers struggle with. Though theymay not face mortgage payments, difficult bosses or bills –teenager’s own problems are no less important to them, andstress and depression can shape their futures greatly. Active sports and events can help to burn away stress andpromote more interaction, meaning that sporting clubs are agreat way to improve the mood of children. This holds true formore academic or creative clubs and activities too such as musicor chess. The creative process not only helps to engage aperson’s imagination, but also their focus, giving them an easyway to distract themselves from whatever pressures hold themdown. What’s more the self-esteem and ego boost fromsucceeding at something can help to directly counter morenegative emotions. Active clubs can also have a positive effect on the fitness ofthe child, not only giving them better health as they grow intoadulthood, but also increasing the chances that they willcontinue to maintain good health and exercise in the future. Improved academicsStudies have also shown that children involved in musical ortheatrical activities (and likely others that bolster creativity ormental acumen) perform better in their academic subjects, and© Shutterstock / Monkey Business Images EDUCATION126 Á124-126_Layout 1 22/05/2017 12:47 Page 2126 LINCOLNSHIRETODAYEDUCATIONMr Mark Midgley Principal ofCaistor Yarborough Academy I started working with Caistor YarboroughAcademy in November 2016 and was delighted tobe appointed as Principal in January 2017.Without doubt, one of the most importantaspects of our Academy is its personalised andinclusive learning environment which nurtures andvalues every student through an ethos of‘Excellence for All’.

Activities such as these directly boost mentalcapacity, including memory, critical thinking andproblem solving skills.Even physical activities can help in this regard,teaching students the importance of taking time aside topractice (both on your football skills and revising), butmore than that, the reduction of stress caused byphysical activity can help people perform better inclasses. All of these not only help students in their school life,but also moving on into the rest of their life and career –giving them a real advantage over their peers in anindustry that is currently bemoaning the skills shortages ofnew school graduates. Learning about commitments and timemanagementEven assuming all the above doesn’t hold true, and thatthey don’t thoroughly enjoy the activity and make a plethoraof new friends – preparing for such events, arriving to themon time and maintaining attendance to support the team?All of these things help to improve time management skills,while also bolstering the commitment and understanding ayoung adult might have of life ahead. Employment (particularly for higher-earning jobs) ofteninvolves out-of-hours activities, from networking meetings toliaising with clients, all the way through to attending tradeshows and exhibitions – many of which take place onweekends. As adults we’re expected to be ready and on-callto make these arrangements, and it can come as quite thehorrifying shock to many just entering the working market.So perhaps this is the time to consider looking at activitiesfor your young ones, be it a sports team, learning a newinstrument – or even something outside of school, like amartial art or just a new hobby. It might mean a little extrawork from the point of view of transportation, and maybeeven the costs of continuing the activity.But the benefits can last a life-time, just like the thingsthey learn in school. 124-126_Layout 1 22/05/2017 12:47 Page 3LINCOLNSHIRETODAY127onwhat’sSleafordFriday 1 April – Sunday 24SeptemberHigh Flying Women –Pioneering Aviators,Cranwell Aviation HeritageMuseum Discover the incredible stories ofwomen who fought against adversity toachieve aviation history.
