It’s not every day that you see this – so I thought I’d highlight it. The new Volvo S60 is sure to be a reliable, quality and above all interesting product (that last statement not something you can say about every Volvo). However, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a promotional video quite like this. […]
The list of candidates had originally been 33 cars long but that was whittled down to 7 on November 2nd. The winner will now be selected from one of the following: Volkswagen Polo Toyota IQ Skoda Yeti Peugeot 3008 Opel/Vauxhall Astra Mercedes-Benz E-Class Citroen C3 Picasso Interestingly, none of the BMW models eligible made the […]
The new Mazda3 MPS has seen a residual values claim boost from industry experts, CAP. Apparently, the launch this Autumn of the new model has seen a rise in the value of the model second hand, with plaudits coming from car valuation experts. Depreciation is a big factor in the cost of any car, so […]
It’s been reported that car sales have continued to rise and that October of this year has shown an increase of more than 30% over last year. The reason has been cited as the government’s ‘cash for bangers’ or car scrappage scheme. Were you one of the lucky ones to access the £2k saving on […]
Yesterday I wrote about the sales success of the Ford Fiesta. I also briefly mentioned a review that Top Gear conducted, or rather a certain Jezza Clarkson performed on BBC2 (season 12, episode 6). If you’re looking for a ‘proper’ review then go elsewhere. However, if you’re after some entertaining TV that shows how good […]
I rarely talk about sales levels on the blog – for me it’s a bit of a no-no. Sure, it’s probably useful information if you’re in the industry, but if you’re on the consumer side of the fence do you really care that a manufacturer sold x amount of cars? Well, this news story is […]
This is simply one of my favourite Top Gear videos of all time. The Nissan GT-R is a proper Japanese performance car. Immense speed, grip, cornering ability and all manner of electronics going on in the background to keep you on the straight and narrow. Some perhaps were even more impressed that it managed to […]
Well, the plucky little fella is at it again – this time injuring himself apparently by going running. Whilst this doesn’t compare at all with his previous injuries sustained in his crash driving a drag car, nonetheless the other string of incidents shows that he’s more than a little accident prone. Nonetheless, as a Top […]
The Golf R and Scirocco R are now available to order. Both are absolutely brilliant looking cars, as you can see in the above image. Build quality, reliability and driving performance are no doubt great too (I’ve not had the pleasure of test driving either so I can’t give you the official ‘Car Articles’ verdict […]
Obviously from the last race we were already aware of who was going to be this year’s Driver’s Champion – and indeed Constructor’s Champion. Once again, our congratulations go to Jenson Button and Brawn GP for all of the hard work that they’ve put in to ensure that the team that rose from nowhere became […]
