Read MoreAfter we reviewed – and loved – the @Hyundai_UK i30 N Performance earlier in the year, we can’t wait to see the i30 Fastback N Performance. All that hooliganism but in a more elegant, grown up body. Sounds perfect!
Read More“If I was in the market for a hot hatch, then the @Hyundai_UK #i30 #N would be the benchmark against all other cars being considered”. Read how I reached that conclusion here..
Read MoreIt may be sold out for 2018, but we still want to share our thoughts about the @SKODAUK #Octavia #vRS #245. In short, it’s absolutely fantastic! Read the full review below.

Read MoreSCORE – 49/50. As modern cars move towards smaller, turbocharged engines with fuel-saving systems, the Fiesta ST200 could in fact be a last hoorah of the hot hatch as we know it. And that – and the exclusive colour scheme – could make it worth buying.
