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 […]
We’re all about being fair and impartial here at Carwitter, so after reviewing the Energizer 50806 lithium portable car jump starter, we reached out to the brands arch nemesis & rival to see if they’d want to feature their very own Duracell lithium ion jump starter pack. They did, so here it is. What […]

There are many unknown names in the world of automotive components, the general rule is to stick to original equipment (OE) or as close to that as you can. Some brands outperform the factory spec parts, and others aren’t worth the cardboard boxes the parts come in. So when the name Textar was said to […]
Crossovers are still all the rage, and BMW has decided the X1 doesn’t have that mass appeal they’re looking for. They need something sleeker, more modern, a car that appeals to a younger audience rather than an entry level into the brand. Cue the X2. Our test model came in M Sport X spec with […]
Volvo has hit the nail on the head when it comes to design the last few years, clean lines and Swedish flair have made the brand more popular than ever. Their latest car to market picks up on a growing niche, the compact crossover. There have been lists as long as your arm for the […]

Skoda’s favourite hatch has received a facelift…somewhere. So we went to get behind the wheel and see why so many people love this budget VAG hatchback. £12,255 will bag you an entry-level S model with a naturally aspirated 1.0-litre engine, while the TSI with 94 BHP will set you back £13,865. A range-topping Monte Carlo […]

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 […]
