Now that PSA Group are firmly at the helm of the Vauxhall brand, it was always going to be interesting to see what the next generation Corsa SRi would be like, and we haven’t been disappointed. Underpinned by the all-new Peugeot 208 (although this wasn’t mentioned at all in any of the press bumpf), the […]
Back in the day, you got the Civic Type R, then for the not so hot, but sporty looking version, there was a Type S. Sadly there hasn’t been a Type S since 2010, and it now looks like the monicker has gone fir good, R.I.P. Recent years have seen us left with the Civic […]

In a time where the crossover is king, it seems manufacturers are trying to appeal to niche buyers. Someone that wants those tough, go-anywhere looks, but not necessarily the bulk of such a big car. Ford started this trend with the Fiesta Active and followed on with the Focus Active, well, now Kia are in […]

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! […]

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 […]

Ford are going all out with their SUV style makeovers, first there was the Fiesta and most recently the Focus Active, but how does the jacked up ruggedised treatment work on their smallest car, the Ka+?
