The crossover vehicle seems to be the car of the moment – pretty much every manufacturer is pushing them out the doors and we can’t seem to get enough of them either! There’s also a trend I have been watching very closely that relates to the size of SUV type vehicles gradually getting smaller. The […]
Ford has developed a brand new 1.0 litre three cylinder EcoBoost engine right here in the UK with engineers based at Dunton and Dagenham working on the project. The powerplant features in the all-new Ford Focus and will produce 125PS while delivering a combined fuel economy of 56.5mpg and ultra-low petrol CO2 emissions performance of […]
Coming to us in Spring 2012, this is the new (and extremely good looking) Peugeot 208. The new car will be more fuel efficient, more aerodynamic, more roomy and and lighter than the 207 (to the tune of a whopping 173kg!). There will be five models available, four of which are equipped with the new […]

Auto Express has covered the comments made by Philip Hammond regarding the increasing fuel prices. His educated (cough) suggestion was “People should look to new technologies. Electric cars are very cheap to run and allow motorists to drive guilt free.” Now, as everyone who is a regular reader of this blog will know, I’m not […]
Which of these two performance cars would you buy? The McLaren P4-12C is a superbly clinical driving experience but the Porsche GT3 RS is the choice for rear wheel drive purists. For those lucky people who genuinely have this decision to make, perhaps the video from Autocar will help you choose.
Honda make some great cars without a doubt. The new 2012 Honda Civic (it is the ninth generation) is sure to prove just as popular as the previous incarnation. However, one area where it has leaped ahead is in safety. Often overlooked in our buying decisions but never forgotten by manufacturers or legislators, the Civic […]
