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

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
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 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
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 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
Vauxhall Mokka X review
Inert handling lets the Mokka X down, but the excellent 1.4 Turbo petrol and comfortable ride are strong points The Mokka X’s relaxed nature is most evident when cornering. While the electrically assisted steering is quick and precise, there’s very little feedback through the wheel to make you feel connected with the road. Where a… Continue reading Vauxhall Mokka X 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
Formula-E 2017/2018 – Rome – The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV2 combines high performance with longevity in the Eternal City
Sur un circuit au tracé vallonné, dessiné au coeur des rues du majestueux quartier de l’EUR, les vingt monoplaces 100% électriques se sont mesurées par des conditions météorologiques idéales. Sous un ciel partiellement couvert, la température de l’asphalte n’a pas dépassé les 38°C, et les pneus MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV2 ont assuré le spectacle. C’est… Continue reading Formula-E 2017/2018 – Rome – The MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV2 combines high performance with longevity in the Eternal City
