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

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
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
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
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 S-MAX review
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 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
