IF you are currently considering a new vehicle purchase, there is every chance that an electric vehicle (EV) will be top of your list. You may already own a hybrid vehicle but are looking to go fully electric, or you may be thinking that now is the right time to get off the carbon-fuelled merry-go-round and do your bit for … Read the rest
The new Giulia and Stelvio are making their debuts. These two award-winning models have won over the international community thanks both to the brand’s trademark driving dynamics and the timeless design which makes any Alfa Romeo vehicle a moving work of art. The distinct Alfa Romeo take on the beauty of Italian design has been made even more seductive and … Read the rest
NOW, that’s more like it. The new Ford Puma ST may not be as svelt or cute as the well-loved Puma of the 80s, but now it has some credibility when it comes to mixing it up with the Golf GTi or any of the plethora of hot hatches that are still around these days.

MAZDA have managed to make things a little complicated when it comes to identifying their SUV’s. But bear with me . . .
Their smallest SUV – the CX-3 – appears to have disappeared from the scene at the moment. No doubt it will re-emerge before long with a major update. Probably.

Genesis is the brand you may never have heard of.
If you’re now thinking of Phil Collins then you need to re-read the above. We’re talking about premium cars from Korea, not prog-rock from Surrey.
Genesis is the luxury division of the Hyundai Motor Group – much like Lexus is to Toyota or Infiniti is to Nissan. Except posher. Much … Read the rest
SUZUKI is always a manufacturer you can rely on when it comes to value for money with no compromise on tech – especially if you’re after a reliable 4×4 that won’t break the bank.
Sitting between the Vitara and the Across is the new Suzuki S-Cross that is a perfectly-sized SUV for the growing family. And yes, it’s available with … Read the rest
THE Ford Mustang Mach 1 is not a car for those who wish to go quietly and anonymously about their business. It’s the exact opposite. If you don’t like perfect strangers accosting you at the petrol station with a hundred questions about your car, or neighbours who suddenly appear on your driveway just “wanting a chat”, then don’t buy the … Read the rest
