With reports of more snow and extremely cold weather due to hit the UK shortly, it’s worth bearing in mind a four wheeled drive vehicle if you’re after a new set of wheels. More grip, stability and ability to cope with the weather are all promised by a vehicle that puts power down via all […]
One thing I keep harping on about, as car nuts frequently do, it buying a new car. I have in mind a budget, I have the finance available should I take the plunge and I have my old car paid off and ready to go in as part exchange (not that I’m expecting very much […]
Historics at Brooklands inaugural sale of classic and sports cars took place on June 2. Massive interest in the wide variety of vehicles on sale showed that geography – and time zones – were no obstacle as buyers around the world took part to bid on some of the most well kept examples of motoring […]
Buying a quality used car can be difficult unless you know what to look for. Many people only look at the selling price and see a bargain, indeed this can be very tempting but you could in fact be putting you and your family at risk. You should make sure the car has had a […]
It’s a pet hate of mine – when a buyer gets in their mind that they want a particular car, despite the fact that they’ve never driven it, or even suitable alternatives that better suit their needs. Not only do they run the risk of being disappointed, but by driving before buying, they can sure […]
Short of winning the lottery, I won’t be buying a new car in 2010. Let me further explain – what I mean by that is a brand new car with 0 miles on the clock. Simply put, new cars are just too expensive. Even basic models, such as the Kia Picanto 1.1 costs £7,500. That, […]

Lord Mandelson (Peter) told a conference on the 24th that the scheme will end as planned. A total of 400,000 motorists are likely to have taken up the […]
When asked if you would like a Honda or a BMW you’d be forgiven for automatically going for the BMW. When it comes to choosing between a Honda CR-V and BMW X3, I believe the choice isn’t quite as simple. If you’re looking for a mid-size SUV you would struggle to find two better models. […]
In some of the strangest news I’ve seen in a while, there’s a Ferrari FXX for sale on Auto Trader. What’s odd about it? Well, firstly it costs £1.85 million pounds. This makes me think that, for that sort of cash, it’s unlikely the buyer will come across it there. Surely anyone with that sort […]
There’s a new Lotus promotion at the moment, which correctly points out that “Owning a Lotus is unlike anything you will have done before”. Apart from some noted issues with the earlier models, you’re buying into one of the most fun, focussed driving experiences around. You sit low slung in the car, so even if […]
