Ford pioneered the fun-to-drive MPV with the first S-MAX a decade ago, and the latest model is an even more rounded product. The S-MAX drives like a seriously well-sorted family saloon, yet offers seven-seat practicality. It’s more comfortable than the previous model and packed with enough technology to shame even some luxury saloons. There’s a great… Continue reading Ford S-MAX review

Ford Galaxy review
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
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 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
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
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
