I’ve always had a soft spot for the ultra-frugal 1.6 litre diesel Civic. It was comfy, could be fun driven in the right way and it would manage 60.9 MPG without even trying. That’s roughly 520 miles to a tank. So what’s that fuel sipper like in the latest incarnation of the Honda Civic 1.6 […]

Alfa has been in the doldrums of late, two mainstream models have propped up the brand for nearly a decade. But the comeback has begun, spearheading the resurgence is the Giulia. Now you’ve probably heard of the Giulia due to the Ferrari derived V6 Quadrifoglio version. This firebreathing Biturbo variant pumps out 503 bhp and […]

If you’re after a fast Jag saloon options are currently limited. The fire breathing XFRS has long since been culled, there is the XE SV Project 8, but that’s limited numbers and at £150k rather pricey. So, your choices are the XF S or the XE S, both powered by the same 3.0 litre supercharged […]

Kia’s Stinger is an odd proposition. A shot across the bows of the Germanic hoards that beat a path up and down motorways across this land. But starting at £31,995 it’s the brands most expensive offering. Ever. Most of the press have been hammering on about the beasty V6 model, ultimately that’s going to appeal […]
We first reviewed the Peugeot 508 way back in 2012. In fact, it was our first ever press car. So it holds somewhat of a sweet spot for us. A whole five years on, how is it ageing and is it still competitive in an ever-refreshing segment? Looks Well, Peugeot have certainly manned […]

When Volvo first showed the S90 to the world it wowed. Following the slab like, sculpted lines of the XC90, it’s totally modern in its design. Seeing the S90 in the flesh at Geneva for the first time we ascertained that it was an equally impressive machine. Ten months on and we got to spend […]
Now in its third incarnation the Skoda Superb has had awards thrown at it left right and centre over the last 12 months. What Car made it car of the year, Auto Express named it best family car of the year and it even made it to the final few in World Car of the […]
Kia have released an all new Optima, but you wouldn’t know. Looking much like a facelift with some tauter lines and slightly fresher looks. The whole car is in fact brand new. Being 10mm longer, 25mm wider and 10mm taller. Its 50% stiffer than the outgoing model, and 0.01 more aerodynamic in its Cd rating. […]
When I first received the 330e to test for a week I was pondering the purpose of a plug in hybrid. Why would you plug your car into the mains when it has a perfectly good 2 litre turbo charged petrol engine up front?! I had thought to myself that I wouldn’t bother plugging it in […]

As we have previously mentioned Lexus are completely on the right track when it comes to their latest design language. Having driven the NX and being thoroughly impressed next up was a more middle of the range machine, the IS200. In F-Sport trim some rather pricey add-ons had been thrown at it, namely the seductive […]
Now not many of us will ever be in the position to purchase an automobile the price of the average house. But if the chance arose, there is no doubt you would probably buy a Rolls Royce. The Ghost is the entry level into the brand, a snip, starting at £222,888. This Ghost however was […]
