Mazda2 review

Mazda2 review

Mazda’s impressive model launch offensive continues with the Mazda2 – its all-important, all-new supermini. With the latest incarnation of the iconic MX-5 and new CX-3 compact SUV still come, it’s a big year for Mazda, and first off is the Mazda2. Not only is it attractive, but it’s also distinctive, …

SEAT Leon Cupra 280 – review

SEAT Leon Cupra 280

Hot hatches don’t come much more powerful or as entertaining as the SEAT Leon Cupra 280. And that’s saying something, because it’s up against its cousin, the VW Golf GTI, the Ford Focus ST, Vauxhall Astra VXR and Renaultsport Megane 265. Powered by the same 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine as …

Mazda6

It’s a busy year for Mazda, what with the launch of the new MX-5, Mazda2 supermini and CX-3 crossover. However, the rest of the range isn’t being ignored, and first up is the big Mazda6 which has received a mid-life makeover. Already a very good family car/executive express – now it’s …

Land Rover Discovery Sport

I’ve just driven the new Land Rover Discovery Sport and I’m seriously impressed. I’ll post a full review soon, but based on several hours of driving on and off-road, the new “baby” Land Rover is going to be another success. It’s a remarkable package – a genuine seven-seater and effortless over, …

Fiat 500 Cult – review

Fiat 500 Cult

Meet the new top-of-the-range Fiat 500 Cult. If you’ve forgotten how much fun driving can be, this could be the car for you. Externally it doesn’t look hugely different from regular 500s, apart from its 16-inch alloy wheels and gloss black fixed glass sunroof. Inside it’s packed with goodies. Leather …

Mazda3 2.0 Sport Nav – review

Mazda3 2.0 Sport Nav - review

Why the Mazda3 should be on your shortlist for a new family hatchback… Before I start I’m going to lay my cards on the table – I like car manufacturers that dare to be different, which means the Mazda3 has a head start in my eyes. None of its rivals …

Honda Civic Tourer 1.6i-DTEC – review

Honda Civic Tourer

Looking for a frugal family estate? Consider the Honda Civic Tourer 1.6i-DTEC – one of the most surprising cars of 2014. I spent a week with the greenest model in the range – the Honda Civic Tourer 1.6i-DTEC manual – and I can honestly say it was a revelation. Not …

Range Rover Sport – review

Once in a while a car is launched that’s so good, it sets a new benchmark of excellence. The Range Rover Sport was just such a treat in 2013. Now a familiar sight on our roads, Land Rover has continued to develop the car in 2014. Not only did it …

Nissan X-Trail – review

Nissan X-Trail

Why you shouldn’t be fooled into thinking that the all-new Nissan X-Trail is just an overgrown Qashqai… Nissan started the crossover revolution in 2006 when it launched the Qashqai. The boxy, but practical Nissan X-Trail still sold in big numbers around the world, but it was overshadowed by its good-looking baby …
