After a run of more than 60 years, the Land Rover Defender finally stopped production on 29 January 2016. It marked the end of a true British motoring legend, and only the original Mini can challenge the Defender’s place in the hearts of the British population. However, it’s fair to say that the Mini could… Continue reading Land Rover Defender (2012-2016) 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
Jaguar F-Type review
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 C-MAX review
Spacious enough but rear passenger space can be tight if carrying a car full of people Despite its relatively compact dimensions, the C-MAX is a very practical car. It has 471 litres of boot space – slightly more than the Renault Scenic’s 437 litres, but way down on the Citroen C4 Picasso‘s 537 litres. With… Continue reading Ford C-MAX 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 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 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
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
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 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
