… Qashqai Tekna DIG-T … This Nissan Qashqai wasn’t the first Crossover/SUV hatchback on the market, not by a long chalk, but it was the first of the breed that really caught the public’s imagination with its mix of compact exterior dimensions matched to a very roomy interior and offered […] Read more »
20 Oct: Mazda MX-5
… Mazda MX-5 RF GT Sport Tech … The Mazda MX-5 is the ideal car for the young and carefree, not so much for the growing family or the elderly. On the other hand it provides the perfect excuse for grandparents to avoid taking the weans out for a day […] Read more »
11 Oct: Ford Kuga 2.0 EcoBlue
… Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition … It was wet during my time with the Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition, very wet, but this was the all wheel drive version. Just what you need when scampering across muddy, puddled country roads on the way to the Solway Coast. The normal […] Read more »
07 Oct: MG5 EV
… MG5 EV … My time with the electrically powered MG5 coincided with that brief period a few days ago when fuel delivery drivers were in short supply. Some filling stations were running out of supplies of petrol and diesel as folk went on the now customary panic buying spree […] Read more »
05 Oct: Kia Proceed
… Kia Proceed 1.5 T-GDi … The Kia Proceed is a seriously good looking motor although it does look much better in the metal than in photographs. Impressive enough to leave parked in the drive out front rather than hidden round the back of the house. It’s an estate car […] Read more »

… Ineos Grenadier … Like most of you I only know what I’ve read in the press about this brand new vehicle so it was with some scepticism that I attended a recent presentation event. Some of the press reporting so far has been sensational, sceptical, even derogatory whilst some […] Read more »
21 Aug: Skoda Enyaq iV 80
… Skoda Enyaq iV 80 … Over the past few months I have been driving a variety of electric and hybrid cars. No longer is it an odd feeling, it’s just something that regular drivers will take in their stride. After all, it’s only the bit under the bonnet which […] Read more »
16 Aug: Dacia Sandero Stepway
… Dacia Sandero Stepway TCe90 Auto … The biggest attraction that the new Dacia Sandero Stepway has over its rivals is the price. But to simply pick a car based on price does the Dacia an injustice. Compared to its rivals it offers similar levels of kit, ride comfort, good […] Read more »
07 Aug: Suzuki Swace Hybrid
… Suzuki Swace 1.8 Hybrid SZ5 CVT … I’m a sucker for Suzuki motoring, but that’s partly down to a long time love affair with Suzuki motor cycles. It’s the same with their cars, they always seem to produce likeable, even loveable (the Jimny), good handling, sensible and reasonably priced […] Read more »
