The humble Vauxhall Astra, a mainstay of British roads for decades, safe, dependable, a go-to car like the Volkswagen Golf. You might not know it, but there’s a new one on the market, and this is it – the 2019 Vauxhall Astra. It boasts such things as a class-leading drag coefficient of just 0.26 Cd, […]

We really loved the Fiat Tipo when we reviewed it back in 2017, an honest, no-frills, comfy medium-sized hatchback which returned great MPG. What could be better? A Fiat Tipo with go faster looks, obviously. When the Fiat Tipo S-Design was announced, I was a little excited, genuinely. It looked pretty damn good, and it […]
We’ve always had a soft spot for the Kia Pro Ceed GT, but when this new model came out, I wondered what on earth they’d done to the poor Pro Ceed, now dubbed Proceed as it probably always should have been. Six months on and it’s sitting in front of me. God it looks good! […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
