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

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. 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

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

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 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
