A diesel engine has always been the preferred choice when it comes to an SUV. The larger and heavier body normally needs more torque to get it going. That’s where an oil burner comes into its own – you wouldn’t want to have to hit high revs in this type of car, that’s not really […]
The Geneva Motor Show 2016 is coming and you can sure tell! There are a whole host of announcements of concept and real-world cars coming to us soon. This is the Kia Optima Sportwagon which is loosely based on the absolutely stunning 2015 SPORTSPACE concept. Kia states that the Optima Sportswagon offers the striking exterior design […]
Space and pace. It’s a simple equation but one that can be lacking in modern car design and engineering. Either we end up with a large SUV with no performance to speak of or we have a tiny city car that gives off little more than water but can’t reach 80 miles per hour. BMW […]
The Range Rover Evoque has now reached an age whereby JLR have decided a face lift is in order. Is this sufficient to make you drop around £60,000 on a small SUV, even with Range Rover badging? The Evoque has been an interesting car since it was first introduced back in 2011. It is very […]
Last year over 7.2 million used cars were sold but ¾ million motorists may have handed over their money without driving the car out first, or starting the engine. Recent research by webuyanycar.com on over 1000 car owners has revealed that over 10% of car buyers didn’t take a test drive or turn the engine […]

Four […]
There’s no doubting that the Lexus RX 450h 2016 is a stunning car. A very large vehicle yes, but stunning no doubt. The stark lines of the interior and the jewellery adorning this car mark it as something special. As this is a hybrid, one of the most fun things you can do is pull […]
Notorious as a nation for being reserved, receiving a hug or a kiss from a loved one is the top ingredient for a perfect day, according to a new study. The other elements of the perfect day include ‘having a lie-in’, ‘being smiled at’, ‘enjoying good food’ – and all on a ‘sunny day’. Naturally, […]
We at Car Articles are big fans of the previous generation Ford S-Max. Having driven it a few times now, it’s safe to say that the car managed to feel far smaller than it actually is. That’s genuinely an achievement in a true seven seater. This smart refresh is certainly welcome – but is it […]
When buying a new car, a lot of people simply assume that a smaller diesel will suit their needs for economy.

Would a 1 litre Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion suit you over a diesel? […]
