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.

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. […]
SEAT’s last gen Ibiza has been around for nearly 10 years. I remember seeing it on the stand at the last UK Motor show way back in 2007. Even after a ‘facelift’ the poor Ibiza pretty much looked the same as it did back then. A new model is long overdue, but finally the latest […]

17 years ago, the Kia Rio went on sale in the UK for the first time, now in its fourth generation and contributing to a large piece of Kia’s sales pie, it needs to be a winner. We tested the 2017 Kia Rio in its ‘First Edition’ trim level. Fitted with a punchy 1.0 litre […]
