Few cars have seemingly captured the imagination of the general sports car enthusiast recently in a way that the BRZ and the Toyota GT-86 have done. But just what makes these two small, sporty two litre cars the business? Very simple. Both are set up to be proper driver’s cars. What do I mean by […]
Due to the recent warm weather spell, there have definitely been more cars on the road with the roof down (that did change when the snow hit for two days, but there we are). However, there are some pitfalls to look out for when buying a convertible car. Here I have highlighted five things to […]
The new 2012 Toyota Prius a reworked version of a face-lifted car which is now actually quite old. None the less it’s a hybrid and the Eco nut jobs like a hybrid almost as much as us petrol heads like v8’s. See the problem is at some point someone – god only knows who probably […]

This is the 2012 Audi RS4 Avant. As you can see, it is an extremely aggressive looking estate car. Though that simple description rather undersells the car, which is fitted with a fire breathing 4.2-litre V8, delivering 450PS at 8,250rpm and 430Nm from 4,000 to 6,000rpm.
