Formula-E 2017/2018 – Paris – Home glory for Jean-Eric Vergne (Techeetah) and Michelin at Paris E-Prix!

. Installé en tête du peloton lors du départ, Jean-Eric Vergne a solidement défendu sa position face aux attaques de Sam Bird (DS-Virgin Racing), lui-même pris en chasse par André Lotterer (Techeetah). Le tiercé a creusé l’écart durant la première phase de la course, pour reprendre la piste dans le même ordre après le changement… Continue reading Formula-E 2017/2018 – Paris – Home glory for Jean-Eric Vergne (Techeetah) and Michelin at Paris E-Prix!

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

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

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 Vauxhall Insignia GSi Sports Tourer 2018 review

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

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 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 Corsa review

Better than ever, with mostly good quality, plenty of room and now featuring Vauxhall’s quality infotainment At a glance, you could easily mistake the new Corsa for its predecessor – it has the same door pillars and glass area as before. According to Vauxhall, that’s because existing customers liked the look of the previous car,… Continue reading Vauxhall Corsa 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
