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 […]

Recently we attended the Continental Black Chili driving experience, a road trip that takes place for a few months every year in different parts of Europe. This time it was in the south of France. Did you know that Continental do more than tyres? Tyres are just one arm of the company; they make […]

It’s not often you say a McLaren lacks precision, feels lardy or doesn’t inspire confidence. However, all those things became apparent when driving the 570S and 600LT back to back. We were at the Hungaroring to put the latest, and possibly finest ever McLaren to the test. First, we needed a benchmark and having driven […]
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 […]

An affordable EV that travels 300 miles on a single charge has been the pipe dream for us in the media, and buyers for the last few years. Now it’s here. Hyundai announced they were releasing an electrified version of the KONA when the car launched, any further information than that was rather scarce, we […]

Love them or loathe them SUV’s and crossovers are big business, with the trend looking likely to continue more manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon. Jag did so a few years back with the F-Pace, but that left a gap in the smaller, crossover segment, cue the E-Pace. However, it’s not just a market segment […]

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 […]

FM radio isn’t going to be around forever, current figures indicate we’ve got around 5 years at the most before the switch is flicked and the FM airwaves go silent. That means there’s going to be a lot of cars on the road listening to static. Not ideal. You can pay to have a DAB […]

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 […]

Volvo are having a massive resurgence of late; the XC60 is a gorgeous machine and a worthy successor to the original. When we attended the launch the fabled T8 Twin Engine hybrid was on the cards for later in the year, well we finally got our hands on one to see what it’s like. Now […]
Apologies for the mouthful of a title, but the Wirelinq is a hard thing to explain. You know when you plug your phone into your car and it either doesn’t recognise it as a USB device so won’t play any of your music, or maybe it does but without any track info at all. You […]

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 […]
