As the wettest summer on record continues to reinforce the arguments in favour of quattro all-wheel-drive, Audi has just launched its 250th model equipped with this invaluable all-weather traction aid – a new ‘entry level’ version of its popular compact […]
Audi lovers are in for a treat because the carmaker has announced a strictly limited second run of its UK-spec 340PS RS. The stylish compact hatchback is now available to order and there are just 250 building slots remaining for […]
The current Seat Leon never appealed to me one bit. I’m of the opinion that lines and design elements need to have a ‘reason’ and not be (seemingly) randomly placed. In the Leon there was only one thing that completely […]
Am I the only person who hates doing any sort of maintenance on their vehicle? I like to think that I am not, and that I have just been unlucky to come across a lot of DIY maintenance enthusiasts in […]
A couple of crazy dudes just broke the Guinness World Record for driving round the biggest loop ever. I didn’t even know that this record existed and it made me wonder what other car records / stunts I might like […]
It’s a Mercedes A-Class – but not as we know it. Gone is the rather dumpy design (but really clever use of interior space) to be replaced by something very sleek and refined. It’s going to give the BMW 1 […]
Would you like to drive an electric car? For some reason I have always wanted to get in one and put Gary Numan’s Are Friends Electric up really loud. I don’t even like Gary Numan but I wouldn’t want this […]

China’s wealthy are facing a massive problem: the density of Mercs, Bimmers and Audis on the streets of Chinese cities is so high that they are suffering from ‘status inflation’. In other words, there’s room for more differentiation. This is […]
With many a sporty car, the noise is even more important for the experience than pure performance. If it sounds fast and brutal, the brain seems to amplify the car’s actual speed. Carmakers know this full well, and in recent […]
I don’t know who is more surprised by this announcement – me or Jaguar. But the best car to own is the Jaguar which claims the top spot in the J.D. Power/What Car? 2012 UK Vehicle Ownership Satisfaction Study. The […]
Here’s a quick question for you; who is the greatest footballer of all time? Eh, what was that you said – Pele? Sorry, he doesn’t count as people are always talking about him. I know that he scored over a […]
I used to drive a VW Polo for a while. It was a corporate lease and, consequently, it had to be the Bluemotion. You know, that’s the one with a coffee grinder for an engine. I never quite fancied that […]
