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.

It seems the onslaught of crossovers continues. Hyundai are the latest to join the fray, looking to distance themselves from their sister brands ‘Stonic’ and carve out their own niche in this ever crowding segment. Competitors include the all new Citroen C3 Aircross, the ageing Nissan Juke and the epically handling Mazda CX3. But how […]
