Smaller cars tend to be lighter, which means better fuel efficiency and performance. SUVs tend to be more practical cars too, with an elevated seating position and more boot space. So, does the new Volvo XC40 2018 car offer the best of all worlds compared to the likes of the Audi Q5 or Mazda CX-5? […]
On the 12th August 2017 I had the opportunity to visit the Newcastle Car Show 2017 ‘Modified & Classic’. There was some serious metal on show and it truly lived up to the name. People with a serious passion for their wheels turned up with tuned Fords, Subarus, Mitsubishis and many more. It was a […]
Jaguar Land Rover produce some absolutely fantastic cars. What perhaps was missing from the Range Rover sub-marque however was a vehicle bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the full fat Range Rover. As a result, we have the absolutely fantastic looking Range Rover Velar. Granted, this is still an almost 2 tonne beast, but […]
We somehow managed to miss the NE1 Newcastle Motor Show 2016 and so we were very keen to get there this year. Thankfully, we managed it, even if it was only for a short time due to other commitments. We attended early on the Saturday (8th July 2017) and got to see some of the […]
So you need a bigger car with a large luggage load bay. You want a Vauxhall too as you know you’ll get a competitive price. In this case, less than £19,000 will get you the base model of the Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer. The looks are quite sharp too with angular side strakes and an […]
The Honda Civic Type R is a very well known hot hatchback. The frantic VTEC engine really does love to be revved, whilst the suspension is set up to offer great grip and turn in. The 2017 car is the most extreme Honda to be developed yet. It is also arguably one of the most practical […]
This is the new Audi Q5. It is quite a luxurious, reasonably large SUV. This 2017 version is more of an evolution rather than a revolution in car design. In saying that, what is not to like about this well equipped, decent driving, family friendly SUV? We will probably see a significant influx of these […]
The Geneva Motor Show 2017 was quite something. Fast cars were shown aplenty and there was plenty of metal to get all buyers excited. Our top pick? We do like the Ferrari 812 Superfast. Active rear steering should make this big car particularly nimble and with almost 800 horsepowers it will be rather quick off […]
The new BMW X1 is really rather a looker. A proper mini SUV (it’s based on the MINI platform so that’s actually quite apt), this is sure to appeal to just about everyone. It’s great to drive, efficient and has plenty of built in safety kit. Perhaps the only questions you’ll have are over the […]
The Audi A3 is extremely popular on UK roads and the obvious reason behind that is the sheer choice in the range. There’s now an economical hybrid, a fast RS version, a frugal diesel, a punchy petrol and so on. Audi also make sure that you’re not short on body style choices either. There’s a […]
