The new BMW X1 is really rather a looker. A proper mini SUV (it’s based on the MINI platform so that’s actually quite apt), this is sure to appeal to just about everyone. It’s great to drive, efficient and has plenty of built in safety kit. Perhaps the only questions you’ll have are over the […]
Road safety and breakdown organisation GEM Motoring Assist is encouraging drivers to avoid getting involved in conflicts on journeys. The advice follows the two year suspended prison sentence handed to Harvey Spencer Stephens following a ‘road rage’ attack in August last year. Former actor Stephens sprang to fame as devil child Damien in the 1976 […]
TyreSafe has again voiced concern at the impact on road safety of the government’s proposals to extend the MOT test ‘grace period’ of new vehicles to four years.

We at Car Articles have always had a soft spot for the two door Audi A5. The sleek lines just seemed to work. In the right spec it was pretty much a German reimagining of an American muscle car. Sleek curves lead to bold lines at the front of the car whilst the rear has always […]
Kia is on a roll at the moment. The latest Sportage is a great SUV, the new Optima has impressed and now there’s this – the Kia Stinger. Uninspiring name aside (this isn’t the 70’s and we aren’t in the US) this is a properly grown up GT car from the Korean brand that has […]
