However, there is no denying that the Corsa has been a great success for Vauxhall since its introduction back in 1993; and … Read the rest
I VERY much like the new Toyota Supra. In fact, I love the new Toyota Supra. It has everything a top-notch sports car should have, like 2 seats, a great sounding engine, rear-wheel drive, acceleration that will stick a grin on your face and looks that will turn heads wherever you go.
And so what if a certain German car manufacturer has … Read the rest
FOR those looking for a 7-seater family wagon, the choice has never been greater with most manufacturers having something to offer. However, if you also want plenty of gallic style wrapped in an SUV body then the Peugeot 5008 may be just what you’re looking for.

ROADSTERS have played an important role in BMW’s history and the latest, all-new BMW Z4 is set to write another chapter in the open-top story.
Since the birth of the first example – the famous BMW 328 – all BMW roadsters have shared common proportions and design principles – long bonnet, low, set-back driving position, long wheelbase and short overhangs. … Read the rest
YOU may be surprised to learn that, globally, the Kia Rio is the Korean manufacturer’s best-seller – and this fourth-generation model looks set to continue the success with fresh styling, a new engine, impressive tech and, of course, Kia’s superb 7-year/100,000-mile warranty.
