When Landy announced the drop top Evoque it instantly turned to marmite. Some will love it, some will loathe it. Seldom do convertible SUV’s work, ahem Nissan Murano CrossCarbiolet…but I think the Evoque has been a success story. It doesn’t look ungainly in its appearance, and that’s what drew us to having one on loan. […]
Volvo have totally outshone the competition since releasing the stunning new XC90. Continuing with the S90 the V90 was next on our review list. Coupling the bold Swedish looks of the S90 with cavernous cargo lugging abilities what was there to dislike? We tested a range topping D5 PowerPulse AWD in R-Design trim. Its two […]
Fiat haven’t had much to offer the world of late, unless it’s 500 related or a rebranded Mitsubishi pickup…or maybe a rebodied MX-5 things have gone rather quiet. That is until the Tipo was released. A budget family hatch with class leading boot space and rear leg room. Yes, that’s really what it’s marketed on. […]
I purchased the 207 nearly eight years ago. At that time it had a set of perfect alloys, they’d all been refurbed and looked mint. Over the next few years I curbed them once or twice…maybe three times. Crying a little bit and cursing every time it happened. For the last six years I’ve looked […]

As of tomorrow we will be starting an epic five day road trip through Northern Europe in a Tesla Model S 100D. We already had a P100D booked in, then received a call from Tesla. Would we like to drive to Rotterdam, as the Hilton there a box fresh Destination Charger that’s just been installed. […]

Now the title is a bold statement to make, I know that. I’ve never driven an EP3, but I’ve sampled everything thereafter. The FN2 was lardy as fuck. A ton of extra weight (nearly 16 stone?!) and barely a hint of more horses led it to be rather underwhelming. That could be what scared Honda […]

SEAT’s last gen Ibiza has been around for nearly 10 years. I remember seeing it on the stand at the last UK Motor show way back in 2007. Even after a ‘facelift’ the poor Ibiza pretty much looked the same as it did back then. A new model is long overdue, but finally the latest […]

Kia Optima’s aren’t exactly a common sight on the road, but what about the estate version? Well, I think I’ve only seen two since launch. They’re a unicorn alright. After loving the latest Optima we thought we’d take the Sportwagon on a long weekend away. Looks There’s something about estates, that when done […]

Every now and then there’s one car that ultimately saves a brand, in Volvo’s case the last generation XC60 can probably be heralded as that. It brought Volvo back to the masses and continued to sell amazingly well right up until it was culled earlier on this year. So the all new XC60 has big […]
With crossovers still taking the marketplace by storm, it was only a matter of time until they started downsizing and entering new segments. Audi have got into the game early with the Q2, it’s a true mini crossover of the hatchback variety. Our dinky Q2 was in Sport trim with a 1.4 TFSI engine. […]

When thinking of the DS 3, performance doesn’t really spring to mind. Matt black with gold accents certainly isn’t the order of the day. Special editions, collaborations with makeup brands and a car squarely aimed at the female side of the population is more suiting to its nature. The last performance model appeared when the […]
