Bentley Bentayga V8 2018 review
Following the launch of W12 petrol and V8 diesel engines, this is the third and perhaps the most convincing powerplant to feature in Bentley’s monumentally capable Bentayga SUV. It’s a 4.0-litre, 90-degree V8 with its two twin-scroll turbochargers sitting within the vee of the cylinders. You’ll find it also in the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and… Continue reading Bentley Bentayga V8 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.

Land Rover Defender (2012-2016) review
After a run of more than 60 years, the Land Rover Defender finally stopped production on 29 January 2016.

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 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
