Kia’s Stinger is an odd proposition. A shot across the bows of the Germanic hoards that beat a path up and down motorways across this land. But starting at £31,995 it’s the brands most expensive offering. Ever. Most of the press have been hammering on about the beasty V6 model, ultimately that’s going to appeal […]
Having driven Audi’s TT before, in entry level guise we thought it was time to check out its most potent form, the RS. Starting from £52,450, our TT had a few choice options, including £4,695 ceramic brakes, upgraded 20’ 7 spoke alloys, and a couple of thousand spent here and there. Total cost of this […]

Quick Audi’s tend to be a love, hate affair. Some are sublime, others downright awful. So jumping into the 2018 RS4 Avant I wasn’t sure what I’d end up with. With a starting price of £62,175 this particular Nardo Grey wagon had a ton of extras thrown at it, over ten grands worth in fact. […]

What happens when you strip out any character or soul from a once interesting vehicle? The new 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus, that’s what. The C4 Cactus was introduced back in 2014, 4 years on and the C4 hatchback has been culled from production. Filling its place is the Cactus. Starting at £17,265 you’ll want to […]

When you think of the words Mitsubishi and Eclipse, you’ll probably think of a gorgeously curvy two door coupe form the 90’s – that we never got in the UK. Now the name is followed by the word ‘Cross’…which means it’s a crossover. Starting at £21,275 I tested a ‘4’ petrol manual, which would set […]
Nissan’s original hatchback the Micra has always had a bit of a style problem. Similar to that of the Honda Jazz. It’s an old person’s car, bubbly in design it was always slightly alternative and a bit different when it came to its looks. That all changed with this Fifth-generation model. It’s angular, modern and […]
It turns out the Polo was the seventh best-selling car in the UK during 2017, being VW’s second biggest seller after…you guessed it, the Golf. Over its lifetime it’s sold over 14 million around the world, so it has to be handled with care when it comes to reincarnation. Now in its sixth generation we […]
When segments start to boom it’s time to cash in, it’s now Mercs turn to join the ever growing pick-up market. The X Class has been teased for around a year now, its gorgeous looking concept becoming slightly watered down in the process. Poised as the ‘Premium Pick-Up’ can it really be top notch when […]

Nissan were the crossover pioneers, creating the segment from thin air way back in 2006. 2014 saw the second incarnation of the Qashqai and just three years later a bold facelift has helped keep it up to date. To see what those updates were like, we took a dCi 110 in range topping Tekna trim […]

It’s funny how cars fall from grace. A few years back the Corsa VXR was the boy racer, hot hatch of choice. Now, you rarely see them. That crown has been stolen by the all-conquering Fiesta ST. But in fifth generation guise is this VXR any good? You still get a turbo charged 1.6 litre […]

Oh, another crossover? Yay. SEAT’s new Arona is a B Segment crossover, like the Nissan Juke, the Citroen C3 Aircross, Kia Stonic, Hyundai Kona, VW T-Roc, Audi Q2, Mazda CX-3, Toyota C-HR, Peugeot 2008…you get the picture. Starting at £16,555 our test car was in ‘SE Technology’ trim – read that as ‘Basic’ but with […]
