When this ‘all-new’ 2019 Range Rover Evoque was first revealed, many, especially in auto-journo circles scoffed and laughed. Gerry must have been having an off day, the new baby Rangie is so similar to the old one most streetwalkers could pass it by and not even realise. But there’s more below that familiar skin which […]

As SUV’s and crossovers continue to dominate the space on our roads Ford are hoping to corner a new niche in the market, the car based SUV. Last year they launched their new ‘Active’ range, a trim level that gives buyers some soft-roading ability without the need for a large, gas guzzling SUV or a […]
Twitter is a wonderful platform, and through a chance Tweet with a moan about birds covering the RCZ in their waste, Specialised Covers got in touch. Now I’ve always used car covers, not having a garage forces me to and as arguments go for and against covers, my preference has always been to protect the […]

Being four years old and covering only 12,000 miles the RCZ R sits on its original factory spec Goodyear’s. The fronts were just above the markers, and the backs like new. As with all tyres, rubber only remains supple for so long, and with the decrease in front tread, the R had started to push […]

Occasionally in this industry, you get an email that makes you stop in your tracks, something so different you wonder who could’ve thought it up.

It’s rare that such a small car commands such a commotion, but ever since the leaked images made their way from Japan earlier this year the automotive community has been frothing at the prospect of getting their hands on the 2018 Suzuki Jimny.

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 […]

Now it’s not often manufacturers let you loose on a suitably extreme off-road course, they’re always a little worried journalists will push too far and get stuck, ultimately showing up the shortfalls in their product. But last month VW took us to the depths of Germany, and after a trip to the slightly strange Autostadt […]
