Nissan’s original hatchback the Micra has always had a bit of a style problem. Similar to that of the Honda Jazz. It’s an old person’s car, bubbly in design it was always slightly alternative and a bit different when it came to its looks. That all changed with this Fifth-generation model. It’s angular, modern and […]
Electric cars are hot topic and they’re only going to become ever more mainstream. You might even find yourself considering a change to EV driving. The EV Experience Centre in Milton Keynes, is the best place to see what EV cars are out there, and crucially you can book a test drive. They also offer […]
It turns out the Polo was the seventh best-selling car in the UK during 2017, being VW’s second biggest seller after…you guessed it, the Golf. Over its lifetime it’s sold over 14 million around the world, so it has to be handled with care when it comes to reincarnation. Now in its sixth generation we […]
When segments start to boom it’s time to cash in, it’s now Mercs turn to join the ever growing pick-up market. The X Class has been teased for around a year now, its gorgeous looking concept becoming slightly watered down in the process. Poised as the ‘Premium Pick-Up’ can it really be top notch when […]

Nissan were the crossover pioneers, creating the segment from thin air way back in 2006. 2014 saw the second incarnation of the Qashqai and just three years later a bold facelift has helped keep it up to date. To see what those updates were like, we took a dCi 110 in range topping Tekna trim […]

It’s funny how cars fall from grace. A few years back the Corsa VXR was the boy racer, hot hatch of choice. Now, you rarely see them. That crown has been stolen by the all-conquering Fiesta ST. But in fifth generation guise is this VXR any good? You still get a turbo charged 1.6 litre […]

Oh, another crossover? Yay. SEAT’s new Arona is a B Segment crossover, like the Nissan Juke, the Citroen C3 Aircross, Kia Stonic, Hyundai Kona, VW T-Roc, Audi Q2, Mazda CX-3, Toyota C-HR, Peugeot 2008…you get the picture. Starting at £16,555 our test car was in ‘SE Technology’ trim – read that as ‘Basic’ but with […]

Another week passes, another crossover is launched. This time it’s the turn of Skoda, a brand that have been somewhat late to the game. Especially when you consider the market first started to gain traction in around 2009, has the waiting game paid off? We took a Karoq 4×4 through the depths of Lincolnshire to […]

It always seems to start with a Ferrari. Last year it was a black F50 bumping and weaving over the grass at the back of Blenheim Palace. This year I came across its forebear, the F40. Gleaming in Rooso Corsa red no less, a gent pulled up to ask the steward where he should thread […]
I absolutely adored the old V60 Polestar, it was the kill yourself quick estate that just kept egging you on. With a soundtrack to match it was the perfect sleeper car that could also lug your family around in comfort. But the big ‘ole inline six has been ditched in a streamlining move by Volvo. […]

It’s always hard to quantify something you can’t see. Fuel additives are one of those things. So we’ve been running Redex One Shot in every tankful for the last three months. Switching from premium fuel to the normal stuff in the process. As we mentioned in our previous post there are cost saving benefits by […]
