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 […]

Although it’s now a little long in the tooth, we thought we’d take the current Mazda 2 for one last spin before replacement hits the streets next year. Starting at £15,795 the Mazda 2 can seem pricey when compared to the likes of the Ford Fiesta but glance at the performance and kit levels between […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

After driving a Tesla around Northern Europe for five days last year, and steering a Renault Zoe around town for a week we thought it was time to see if a pure electric vehicle is really feasible in 2018. So we kindly asked to borrow a Volkswagen e-Golf for a week. I’d then drive it […]

When I first heard of the Yaris GRMN I thought it was a special edition, a collaboration with Garmin. Turns out I was very wrong. Naturally as soon as I read past the headline that this was not a sat nav collab, but a fire breathing Jap hot hatch weapon the likes we […]

Here on Carwitter, we LOVE the Suzuki Swift Sport. Having had them on loan numerous times over the years, we’ve jumped at the chance to get behind the wheel of this epic warm hatch. But as with everything these days, the time to turbo has come, gone is the high revving 1.6 VVT we know […]
