This is the latest car from Nissan – the Juke. It’s a compact SUV/sports crossover that provides a lot of value and is designed to challenge just what a small car is in today’s market (not that there’s any truly ‘small’ cars out there any more except for the smart fortwo). Designed to bring a […]
Here, Autocar demonstrates the awesome power of the Ferrari 599XX. With Steve Sutcliffe behind the wheel, you can really see just what this prancing horse can do – and it is very impressive. Still, the question is, would you take one over the ‘ultimate’ Lamborghini Murcielago that is the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce? Very […]
The ‘Swappage Programme‘ ran by Vauxhall – which includes their most popular models – has had an overhaul to now include three new models, the Insignia, Meriva and Zafira. Vauxhall’s Swappage offer allows buyers to use any seven-year-old UK-registered car with insurance, road tax and MOT – no matter what its value or condition – […]
Have you heard of it? Well, I hadn’t either until I saw this article on Auto Trader. Fancy having a car that does 200 miles per gallon? Given the cost of fuel at the moment, I can see that positively everyone in Britain might want to look at something like this, if they are one […]
Now this is a project that’s worth talking about!

Does James May come to mind there? Joking aside, for some this is a passion that […]

As per the previous announcement of recalls from Toyota, I will provide the words direct from the manufacturer so none of the meaning is lost: Toyota today announced a global recall on the latest, third-generation Prius built before 27 January 2010. This will involve 8,500 cars in the UK. To date, there have been no […]
If you’re like me and were not too keen on the first pictures of the Aston Martin Rapide, you may be interested to read the first drive impressions at Auto Express. To cut to the chase, it was rather good to read that the team at Gaydon have produced an excellent car capable of ferrying […]
It seems that poor weather has been sending people into 4×4 showrooms and specifically those of Land Rover. Subsequently, sales have gone up. For January 2010 sales levels were up 58% versus January 2009 nearly doubling the industry average – with Discovery up 92%, Range Rover Sport up 66%, Freelander up 57% and Range Rover […]
