When the crossover reigns supreme it’s refreshing to see manufacturers still developing affordable, family orientated hatchbacks, queue the Skoda Scala. Prices start from just £16,940, the model seen here is an SE, one up from the entry-level S. Base price £18,130, add a few choice options, like the 17” alloys, keyless start/stop and the tailgate […]

Back in the day, you got the Civic Type R, then for the not so hot, but sporty looking version, there was a Type S. Sadly there hasn’t been a Type S since 2010, and it now looks like the monicker has gone fir good, R.I.P. Recent years have seen us left with the Civic […]

In a time where the crossover is king, it seems manufacturers are trying to appeal to niche buyers. Someone that wants those tough, go-anywhere looks, but not necessarily the bulk of such a big car. Ford started this trend with the Fiesta Active and followed on with the Focus Active, well, now Kia are in […]
We really loved the Fiat Tipo when we reviewed it back in 2017, an honest, no-frills, comfy medium-sized hatchback which returned great MPG. What could be better? A Fiat Tipo with go faster looks, obviously. When the Fiat Tipo S-Design was announced, I was a little excited, genuinely. It looked pretty damn good, and it […]
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 […]

Although it’s now a little long in the tooth, we thought we’d take the current Mazda 2 for one last spin before replacement hits the streets next year. Starting at £15,795 the Mazda 2 can seem pricey when compared to the likes of the Ford Fiesta but glance at the performance and kit levels between […]

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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
