For anyone who loves motorsport, it’s a question that keeps coming up: is Formula E worth your time?

April 23, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

Dash cams have gone from an enthusiast curiosity to mainstream motoring equipment over the past decade, and for good reason.

Why Are Car Insurance Premiums Still So High in 2026?

April 20, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

If you’ve renewed your car insurance recently and winced at the price, you’re not imagining things. UK car insurance premiums have been at historically elevated levels for the past few years, and while the rate of increase has slowed, costs have not returned to where they were before 2022.

April 17, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

The North Coast 500 — a 516-mile loop around the northern Scottish Highlands starting and finishing at Inverness Castle — has become one of Europe’s most celebrated driving routes since it was formally established in 2015.

Leasing vs Buying a Car: Which Makes More Sense Right Now?

April 10, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

The lease vs buy question has always been context-dependent, but the context has shifted considerably in recent years.

April 8, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

The case for choosing an electric vehicle as a first car has never been stronger — lower running costs, simpler mechanics, and an increasingly mature charging network.

April 6, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

Buying a used car privately or from an independent dealer carries inherent risk.

April 5, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

Diesel engines have powered British cars for decades, and despite the political headwinds facing the technology, there are still millions of diesel vehicles on UK roads.

April 3, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

There was a time when getting a radio fitted to your car was an optional extra worth specifying. Then it became standard. Then it became a given.

April 1, 2026 by Fraser Leave a Comment

The used car market has been through a turbulent few years.
