Lifestyle pickups are big business, they have been for the last four years or so, but it’s taken Isuzu all this time to cotton on…you wouldn’t think that they’re trying to expand their sales volume. Finally, the ball has dropped and to offer a halo product that sits under the Arctic Trucks AT35 but above […]
When it comes to pickup trucks Mitsubishi has been in the game for a long time, since 1978 in fact with the inception of the L020 model. 2019 sees the L200 Series 6 hit the market, we headed to Silverstone to find out what it was like. Prices start (ex VAT) at £22,715 and max […]

It’s funny how technology changes in such a short space of time, back in 2005 my mother purchased her first ever new car, a 1.4 litre Ibiza ‘Sport’ with 73 BHP….there’s little sporting about it, either in terms of how it drives or looks, it feels slow and has to be worked incredibly hard to […]

Five years ago, I drove my first ever Porsche, a Cayman. Not a special Cayman, an entry level, poverty spec, run of the mill 2.7 litre Cayman. 275 bhp and 290 Nm of torque. 0-62 in 5.7 seconds. Over the next week, my mind was blown. Simply put, the Porsche Cayman was THE best car […]

Rarely in the world of crossovers does the word ‘Sporty’ come to mind. As much as all the marketing material will have you believe seldom can it be that such a car possesses any sort of sporting ability, until now.

When this ‘all-new’ 2019 Range Rover Evoque was first revealed, many, especially in auto-journo circles scoffed and laughed. Gerry must have been having an off day, the new baby Rangie is so similar to the old one most streetwalkers could pass it by and not even realise. But there’s more below that familiar skin which […]

As SUV’s and crossovers continue to dominate the space on our roads Ford are hoping to corner a new niche in the market, the car based SUV. Last year they launched their new ‘Active’ range, a trim level that gives buyers some soft-roading ability without the need for a large, gas guzzling SUV or a […]
It’s rare that such a small car commands such a commotion, but ever since the leaked images made their way from Japan earlier this year the automotive community has been frothing at the prospect of getting their hands on the 2018 Suzuki Jimny. In fact it’s safe to say the Jimny has been the most […]

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 […]
