The Kumala family has decided that it’s time to replace their family car. Mr Kumala mostly works from home but has to travel to his office, 20 km from home, three times each week. Mrs Kumala is a doctor at the local hospital which is less than 1 km from the family house. Mercutio, aged 21, is studying at university and holds a full driving licence. Claudia is in her final year at school and hopes to study modern languages at the local university. She has recently begun a course of driving lessons. Matilda is 10 years of age. Members of the family have expressed interest in the following models:The Geronimo is a spacious, high-performance, five-seater vehicle, with four wheel drive, capable of ‘off road driving’. A new Geronimo is beyond the family’s budget, but the local dealership has a pre-owned, low mileage model which comes with a one year guarantee covering all parts and labour. CO2 emissions are rated at 255 g / km. The Cuboid is a five-seater model which is fitted with parking sensors and a roof rack designed to carry a range of sporting/leisure equipment. The car comes with a comprehensive seven year guarantee. CO2 emissions are rated at 140 g / km. The Ecodream is advertised as a compact five-seater hybrid model (capable of using a battery as well as conventional fuel; combining electric and petrol technology). The car comes with a comprehensive three year guarantee. CO2 emissions are rated at 44 g / km. The following information should be taken into account.1 Matilda is easily bored on car journeys and so she tends to irritate other members of the family.2 The Cuboid isn’t regarded as very cool by young people.3 Insurance for high-performance vehicles is costly, especially for younger drivers and those not holding a full driving licence.4 The family likes to spend weekends visiting remote lakes and forests to enjoy outdoor sports such as canoeing, windsurfing and hiking.5 The Ecodream has a range of 50 km in full electric mode and can be charged at home.6 Mr Kumala would much rather Mercutio use the family car rather than be a passenger with his friends.7 Mercutio is very fashion conscious and cares about his image with his friends.8 Mr Kumala recently caused $300 worth of damage whilst attempting a tight manoeuvre in a supermarket car park.9 Mrs Kumala is a local councillor and a member of the Environmental Party.10 DVD players are a standard fitting for rear-seat passengers in the Geronimo. 38009/02/INSERT/O/N/16© UCLES 2016[Turn over11 No one in the family is mechanically minded.12 The family is working within a tight budget.13 There are often long queues at the only petrol station on the route between Mr Kumala’s home and his office
