It seems like all the French car brands are finding their design flair once again, and Renault is among them. Their latest Megane is probably one of the most striking hatchbacks on the market right now; they’ve also recently fitted it with a new 1.3-litre turbo engine producing a massive 140 HP, so it was […]

I’ve always had a soft spot for the ultra-frugal 1.6 litre diesel Civic. It was comfy, could be fun driven in the right way and it would manage 60.9 MPG without even trying. That’s roughly 520 miles to a tank. So what’s that fuel sipper like in the latest incarnation of the Honda Civic 1.6 […]

Skoda’s favourite hatch has received a facelift…somewhere. So we went to get behind the wheel and see why so many people love this budget VAG hatchback. £12,255 will bag you an entry-level S model with a naturally aspirated 1.0-litre engine, while the TSI with 94 BHP will set you back £13,865. A range-topping Monte Carlo […]

There’s been much chat surrounding the VW Up GTi over the last year, finally getting our hands on one we could check if the hype was warranted or just a lot of gassing. Starting at £14,055 the GTi is around £4k more than the entry-level Up!. One of the PR’s at VW said the Up […]

It’s not often you say a McLaren lacks precision, feels lardy or doesn’t inspire confidence. However, all those things became apparent when driving the 570S and 600LT back to back. We were at the Hungaroring to put the latest, and possibly finest ever McLaren to the test. First, we needed a benchmark and having driven […]
We loved the old MG3, cheap, fun to steer, decent stereo…the only thing that let it down was its old tech polluting engine. That downside has now been updated, along with an all-around exterior and interior refresh. It’s basically a brand new car. Sadly only around 5,000 MG3’s have ever been sold, this needs to […]

An affordable EV that travels 300 miles on a single charge has been the pipe dream for us in the media, and buyers for the last few years. Now it’s here. Hyundai announced they were releasing an electrified version of the KONA when the car launched, any further information than that was rather scarce, we […]

Love them or loathe them SUV’s and crossovers are big business, with the trend looking likely to continue more manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon. Jag did so a few years back with the F-Pace, but that left a gap in the smaller, crossover segment, cue the E-Pace. However, it’s not just a market segment […]

Every now and then you come across perfection in this line of work, it doesn’t happen often, but when it does it sticks with you. We came across it last year with the FK2 Civic Type R, and we’ve hit on it again. You also don’t realise how extraordinary something is until it’s gone. Once […]

Volvo are having a massive resurgence of late; the XC60 is a gorgeous machine and a worthy successor to the original. When we attended the launch the fabled T8 Twin Engine hybrid was on the cards for later in the year, well we finally got our hands on one to see what it’s like. Now […]
