Ford has a reputation for building cars that are fun to drive, and the previous generation Galaxy handled well, given that it was such a large MPV. However, the brand’s latest large car platform (the same architecture that underpins the Ford Mondeo and S-MAX) has divided opinion, being geared towards comfort rather than fun. In… Continue reading Ford Galaxy review

Jaguar XF review
Smooth performance and slick auto gearboxes define the range – but the 2.0 diesel is a bit noisy Thanks to its aluminium underpinnings, the XF is relatively light compared to its rivals, which helps the way it rides and handles. The suspension keeps the body tied down nicely during cornering, so there’s plenty of composure… Continue reading Jaguar XF review
New Ferrari Portofino 2018 review
It might not have been the most revered car in Ferrari’s line-up, nor the fastest, but the V8-engined California T was still an exceedingly desirable sports car all the same. Now Ferrari has improved its front-engined, rear-wheel-drive roadster, giving it a new name 10 years after the original California T was first seen. Welcome to the all-new £166,180, 199mph Ferrari Portofino.… Continue reading New Ferrari Portofino 2018 review

However, it’s fair to say that the Mini could… Continue reading Land Rover Defender (2012-2016) review
New Ford F-150 Raptor pick-up 2018 review
You may not have even heard of the Ford F-150, and in one sense there’s no reason why you should – it has never, and likely will never go on sale in the UK, nor even in Europe. But in the USA it has consistently topped the outright sales charts since its creation in 1948.… Continue reading New Ford F-150 Raptor pick-up 2018 review
Ford EcoSport review
The Ford EcoSport has never been a favourite of ours, but credit where it’s due: the most recent facelift means that it’s more of a threat to rival compact crossovers than before. In particular, that’s thanks to big aesthetic improvements in the cabin brought about by a smart new Fiesta-inspired dashboard. The addition of some… Continue reading Ford EcoSport review
Vauxhall Astra review
Strong diesel engines and punchy petrols combine well with Astra’s composed chassis Unlike many rivals, the Vauxhall Astra is not only built in the UK, it had its chassis tuned for UK roads. In fact, Auto Express was invited on an early chassis development drive to give initial feedback that the Astra was going in… Continue reading Vauxhall Astra review
