Nissan Micra review

Nissan Micra

Rarely has a car changed so much from one generation to the next as the new Nissan Micra. Once an ugly duckling so beloved of driving schools and people of a certain age, the fifth-generation is now the coolest new kid on the block. Fresh and modern, the striking new …

Land Rover Discovery review

Land Rover Discovery

Replacing the much-loved Land Rover Discovery 4 was never going to be an easy task. The fact that the new Disco isn’t just as good, but even better, speaks volumes for the rude health and ambition of Land Rover today. Putting the elephant in the room to one side (the …

Tesla Model X review

Tesla Model X

When it was launched in 2012, the Tesla Model S sent shockwaves through the car industry. It didn’t just look good, but it drove well and its software (which included advanced driver assist features with the ability to be autonomous in the future) could be updated over-the-air. Tesla’s battery technology …

BMW 5 Series review

BMW 520d

The new BMW 520d M Sport is arguably the ‘Ultimate Diesel Driving Machine’. There, that got your attention. A little over-egging it perhaps, but the fact is that things don’t get much better than this executive express. The irony of this assertion will not be lost on most of you, …

Ford Fiesta ST200 review

Ford Fiesta ST200

Sometimes it’s possible to take a car for a spin and know within seconds that you’re driving something special. The Ford Fiesta ST200 is a prime example. With the seventh generation Fiesta arriving in showrooms later in 2017, the ST200 is the last hurrah for the Mk6 – Britain’s bestselling …

Fiat 124 Spider review

Fiat 124 Spider

Fiat has had a roadster-sized hole in its range since 2005 when the last Barchetta rolled off the production line. Strange when you consider the Italian company’s rich sports cars heritage. After all, the original 124 Sport Spider (produced between 1966 and 1982) has iconic status. The new 124 Spider …

Kia Rio review

Kia Rio review

Some cars that are seemingly launched without huge fanfare turn out to be surprisingly good. The all-new Kia Rio is just such a vehicle. Now in its fourth generation, the Rio has the unenviable task of doing battle in a sector, dominated by Britain’s best-selling car for the past eight …

Honda Civic review

Honda Civic

Is the 2017 Honda Civic as good as it looks? We flew over to Spain for a first drive of this important new entry in the highly-competitive family hatchback sector… When the original, iconic Honda Civic was launched in 1972, it measured just 3.55m long and 1.50m wide. Fast forward …

McLaren 570GT review

McLaren 570GT

The McLaren 570GT is like no other McLaren. With chassis, suspension, steering and styling tweaks, extra luggage space and more creature comforts, it’s the most practical and comfortable McLaren ever. Maybe it’s just me, but I struggle to distinguish between McLaren models, but with the 570GT there’s an obvious giveaway. …

Skoda Octavia vRS review

Skoda Octavia vRS

The Skoda Octavia isn’t the Czech car maker’s biggest-selling car globally for nothing. Good looking, spacious, well-equipped and fantastic value for money, it’s hard to fault. Then to cap it all, the Octavia is also available in sport vRS spec – a hidden gem of a car if ever there …
