The Volvo V60 has long been quite a good ‘Q’ car. It is understated but efficient, smooth and comfortable. Can the new estate car (saloon to follow) better the outgoing model by improving on weaker areas? Will it be premium enough to take sales from the likes of BMW or Audi? Watch the video from […]
It’s surprising that the ES is now reaching the seventh generation. The large saloon from Lexus began life in 1991 – but it never reached the UK. To our minds, it seems like Lexus has missed a trick as this is one great looking car. Lexus makes luxury cars that are also fuel efficient and […]
Most manufacturers now have in their stable of cars a smaller SUV. Love them or loathe them, this popular body style gives a higher ride height and with modern engineering will often not compromise the ride quality. SEAT’s Arona should have pretty good curb appeal – it’s a nice looking vehicle up close and it […]

At the moment, Citroen seems to be having a real ball with their design cues. The C4 Cactus is an interesting proposition, with a cool range of ‘jewellery’ (that’s actually the technical term) making sure that there’s something to catch the eye whichever angle you take the car in from. The C4 Cactus is a […]
You may have seen the new Hyundai i30 N hot hatch on Top Gear recently. Boasting over 270 horsepower and a 0-62 time of around six seconds, this car is certainly no slouch. However, the hot hatch segment is the only market that is a) seemingly still doing quite well and b) hasn’t been overtaken […]
