Hummers are, for true car lovers, a bit of a laughing stock. They are big, cumbersome, ugly, smaller inside than they should be and terrible in terms of their fuel economy. They are also not very cheap. Worst of all perhaps is that they aren’t fit for purpose. Such a vehicle should surely be good […]
No, you’re right, there’s no such thing. Volvo is, well, Volvo. The name brings up thoughts of lights that come on far too early by themselves, big estates and cars that are safe and frankly extremely dull. This makes the new R-Design vehicles and the C30 T5 quite an interesting proposition. Unfortunately however they don’t […]
Well, it’s been 60 years of Porsche and what a journey. Few cars have managed to sustain such a motoring evolution through their history, rather than a revolution. Even fewer have the same setup as Porsche – that being the rear drive, rear engine setup that is a peculiarity to the German automotive giant. Mentioning […]
There’s something rather special about the ‘old’ Ford Focus ST (produced in 2002-2003). It is a car that is good looking, powerful and exciting.

The committee examined the DfT report from 2007 that showed that local authorities were not keen to apply for road pricing schemes (something you should applaud your local borough for). Now, correct me […]
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it’s the new BMW. Not exactly known for really pushing out the boat and making crazy new models or variations on the theme, BMW nonetheless make cars with pretty damn good reputations – and in the case of a significant number of their vehicles, excellent performance […]
As part of Car Articles commitment to bringing you the very latest and best industry news along with features, previews and event coverage, it gives me great pleasure to provide the first in our new ‘daily news’ segments. It’s just a shame that it is yet again a story about fuel prices – but then […]
You may well be somewhat like me in that you don’t own a sports car (yet) but you do like to know what’s coming out and when, just in case you happen to get a minor lottery win or a cash windfall from your ‘job in the city’ (whatever that is). For those people, I’ve […]
