It couldn’t have escaped your attention that Ford is working on something very special indeed – the new Ford Focus RS. You probably didn’t let it escape you as it is in just about every motoring magazine and it has also been featured here. However, new information has came to light that is sure to […]
The Honda NSX is a pretty famous supercar – first due to Clarkson trying to do the same lap time at Laguna Seca as he did in Gran Turismo, and second because it is the only ‘real’ supercar that is at an affordable price range. However, this looks set to change when the new variant […]
If you’re desperate for a lovely hot hatch in the form of a Vauxhall Astra VXR, it might be worth waiting just a little bit longer (either for a new or used one). The reason for that is there’s a new model coming our way, due in 2010. Naturally, it’ll offer improvements over the last, […]
The original Toyota Aygo is a very good car. The original was produced on a common platform with Peugeot (the 107) and Citroen (the C1) and released back in 2005. It is safe (with a 4 star NCAP rating), comfortable and economical. It won’t win any speed awards but for the price you pay it’s […]
No, you’re right, there’s no such thing. Volvo is, well, Volvo. The name brings up thoughts of lights that come on far too early by themselves, big estates and cars that are safe and frankly extremely dull. This makes the new R-Design vehicles and the C30 T5 quite an interesting proposition. Unfortunately however they don’t […]
Well, it’s been 60 years of Porsche and what a journey. Few cars have managed to sustain such a motoring evolution through their history, rather than a revolution. Even fewer have the same setup as Porsche – that being the rear drive, rear engine setup that is a peculiarity to the German automotive giant. Mentioning […]
There’s something rather special about the ‘old’ Ford Focus ST (produced in 2002-2003). It is a car that is good looking, powerful and exciting. Even better, there aren’t many of them about on UK roads. It’s a proper hot hatch that’ll cover 0-60 in a shade over six seconds so it has proper, proper performance. […]
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it’s the new BMW. Not exactly known for really pushing out the boat and making crazy new models or variations on the theme, BMW nonetheless make cars with pretty damn good reputations – and in the case of a significant number of their vehicles, excellent performance […]
You may well be somewhat like me in that you don’t own a sports car (yet) but you do like to know what’s coming out and when, just in case you happen to get a minor lottery win or a cash windfall from your ‘job in the city’ (whatever that is). For those people, I’ve […]
Due to depreciation (the money you lose as soon as a car is driven off a forecourt) I’d almost never buy a new car. However, some relatives have done just this and I can certainly see the appeal. Not least the fact that there’s something special about all of it, from speccing up your vehicle, […]
