Supercharged engines and a brilliant chassis mean the F-Type delivers performance to match its looks No matter what version of the F-Type you choose, you’ll be rewarded with a superb driving experience. As it was developed as a Convertible from the outset, there’s very little twisting or vibration through the bodyshell, and body control in… Continue reading Jaguar F-Type review

Ford Kuga review
A facelift for the 2017 model year saw the ageing Kuga get a much more distinctive and handsome look, with the larger grille seen on the Ford Edge now sitting on the front of the car, and a new set of head and taillights giving it a more interesting appearance overall. It’s a different story… Continue reading Ford Kuga review
Vauxhall Mokka X review
Inert handling lets the Mokka X down, but the excellent 1.4 Turbo petrol and comfortable ride are strong points The Mokka X’s relaxed nature is most evident when cornering. While the electrically assisted steering is quick and precise, there’s very little feedback through the wheel to make you feel connected with the road. Where a… Continue reading Vauxhall Mokka X review
New Aston Martin DB11 Volante 2018 review
Elegance is a commodity prized by car designers. Often strived for, seldom achieved. But the DB11 Volante has a genuine style that sets the tone for the rest of the car. It’s the first drop-top in Aston Martin’s new model line-up, and far from being a simple chop-the-roof-off-a-DB11-Coupe job, the Volante has undergone a thorough… Continue reading New Aston Martin DB11 Volante 2018 review
Land Rover Discovery review
Four-cylinder diesel offers a more efficient entry point to the Discovery line-up With air suspension fitted as standard to every model, the Discovery rides smoothly. It’s even more comfortable on smaller wheels, as larger alloys do cause some harsher jolts from the rear axle over more severe bumps, but that’s not too much of a… Continue reading Land Rover Discovery review
Ford Focus review
With a strong range of petrol and diesel engines, the Focus is refined and relatively cheap to run, while the driving experience is top notch The Focus has clearly been designed with comfort and efficiency in mind, but Ford’s talented engineers haven’t neglected handling. It’s certainly a more exciting steer than a Kia Cee’d and it… Continue reading Ford Focus review
Ford Edge review
Diesel engines are smooth and refined but not fast, while handling errs on the side of comfort Ford makes it clear that the Edge is targeted at premium buyers, and the driving experience reflects that. It goes about its business in a relaxed and refined manner, but there’s little of the involvement you would find… Continue reading Ford Edge review
New Vauxhall Insignia GSi Sports Tourer 2018 review
A quarter of a century after the GSi badge first appeared on a Vauxhall, the letters that used to mark out the company’s high-performance models are back – on a range-topping version of the new Insignia. In effect a replacement for the VXR, the Insignia GSi is available in two bodystyles: the Grand Sport hatch… Continue reading New Vauxhall Insignia GSi Sports Tourer 2018 review
Ford Mondeo review
A large boot and plenty of room for passengers make the Mondeo a highly practical choice The Mondeo’s rakish looks don’t compromise its interior functionality. There’s plenty of space for five adults and a big boot. A deep centre armrest, big cupholders and extra space behind the floating centre console mean oddment storage in the… Continue reading Ford Mondeo review
Alpina D5 S 2018 review
If you like the D5 S, there’s little to rival what it offers. The kicker is that the legendary residual value of Alpina cars is far from certain, given the nature of the powertrain. Putting that to one side, the D5 S costs £62,000, to which you can add £1785 for adaptive dampers with electronically… Continue reading Alpina D5 S 2018 review
