Suzuki released the Vitara S toward the end of last year. But we only really had some track time with it…which was impressive to watch a Vitara barrel around a race track, but it didn’t really give us a real world feel for it. So we asked for one for a week. Our Vitara S […]

We first drove the Peugeot 2008 in January of 2014. It didn’t particularly stand out and we weren’t that enamoured with its bland looks. Fast forward to 2016 and the plucky 2008 has been given a facelift, couple that with a 1.2 turbo engine and the whole car is changed. In Allure guise the 1.2 […]

If you’re after a family lugger, Ford have you covered with the S-Max. Slightly smaller than the Galaxy it can still seat 7 in comfort with a little more style than its bigger brother. We took an S-Max Titanium for a week to see how practical it was. Fitted with the 2.0 litre diesel and […]

Every once in a while a manufacturer will push the design boundaries, a toe dip if you will into the unknown. It will either be lauded for its bold statement or left on showroom floors putting off buyers. Very few make such bold design choices, and they happen with invariable irregularity. Recently Lexus have come […]
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Citroën DS, a ground-breaking car in its time, recognised as one of the most influential cars of the 20th century. In 2009 Citroën revived the DS moniker to denote their premium models and last year they announced they would be splitting off DS as a premium brand […]
Last year we reviewed the Honda CR-V, it left us a little disappointed on the MPG front. From its 2.0 litre petrol lump and auto gearbox we only managed a meagre 31.3 MPG over nearly 300 motorway miles. As soon as we heard the plucky little 1.6 litre i-DTEC from the Civic was being shoehorned […]
When Citroen announced the C4 Cactus in September 2013 we thought it would forever stay a concept…or that it would be drastically toned down before its final release. Less than a year later and one is parked in front of me, looking 99% identical to its Frankfurt debut. We tested both the Petrol PureTech 110 […]

Suzuki are gunning for a new market segment, the crossover. Since the Qashqai created the class way back in 2007 it has exploded, with most of the major players fielding their own crossover vehicle. Suzuki have always been lacking in the family segment, they need the S-Cross to be a big seller. We attended the […]
Citroen launched its inaugural Picasso back in 1999, aimed to compete directly with the Renault Scenic it was one of the first compact MPV’s. The latest model the C4 Picasso aims to be ‘a true expression of Citroën’s ‘Créative Technologie’’. Our C4 Picasso was in top of the range Exclusive+ trim, with a 1.6 e-HDi […]
Citroen launched the DS5 last year, it aims to be a luxury executive car, for discerning drivers wanting style, performance and economy. We tested the DSport Hybrid4 200 Airdream, it features a 2.0 litre diesel engine making 163 HP coupled with a 40 HP electric motor on the rear axle. In total it makes 300 […]
Since Honda launched the original CRV they have sold over 5 million, so the entirely new CRV best be up to par. We tested the 2.0 litre Petrol with an automatic gearbox, in top of the range EX trim level. The only extra was metallic paint at £500, bringing the total price to £30,900. With […]
Renault have entered the B segment crossover market with the Captur, a stylish and customisable car directly competing against Nissan’s Juke. We tested the Dynamique MediNav spec, with a 1.2 litre Turbo TCe engine, and 6 speed automatic gearbox. Our test car was priced at £17,195 but had been specced up to a rather pricey […]
