There’s a lot to love about the @VolvoCarUK #XC40 T5 R-Design Pro. You don’t win @whatcar Car of the Year for no reason. But get to the higher end of the range, and you could be talking #XC60 money, which will give you some thinking to do…

It may have lost two cylinders from the old V8, but let us tell you something: the new @AudiUK RS 4 is an absolute hoot. It is completely uncompromised, and as a family car it’s utterly perfect. This is the car we’ve found the hardest to give back. Ever.

“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..

REVIEW – DS 3 Performance Black

Tuesday 20 February 2018Tuesday 20 February 2018 Nick Gardner 0 Comments black, ds, ds3, hot hatch, performance, turbo

With a list price of £26,165 the DS 3 Performance Black sets expectations high, but has too many niggles to meet them. 210PS and some serious kit – including Brembo 4-pots and a Torsen LSD – ensure it goes like stink.

REVIEW – Seat Leon ST Cupra 300 4DRIVE

Thursday 23 November 2017Thursday 4 January 2018 Dan Woods 0 Comments 2017, 300, 4drive, cupra, estate, hot, leon, opinion, petrol, sports, ST, turbo

SCORE – 48/50. I had a fantastic week with the Cupra. It looks fantastic. The Haldex AWD system is brilliant, and it’s a few grand cheaper than the equivalent Golf R. Being an estate it’s a hugely practical car, but with a small dose of lunacy thrown in for when you want a bit of fun.

REVIEW – Audi S5 Sportback

SCORE – 48/50. The Audi S5 Sportback is fast, fun and makes a wonderful noise. It’s an easy car to live with, and one I could happily own. The styling is subtle and sophisticated on the outside, whilst the cabin is both luxurious and sporty. This, then, is a grown-up hot hatch.

REVIEW – Suzuki SX4 S-Cross SZ5

Tuesday 11 April 2017Thursday 4 January 2018 Dan Woods 0 Comments allgrip, boosterjet, opinion, s-cross, sx4, sz5, turbo

SCORE – 32/50. The SX4 S-Cross looks, I’m sorry, awful. Inside the no-frills cabin feels cheap, and the squeaks and rattles from the trim become a nuisance on a longer drive. On the other hand, the Boosterjet engine is a gem: the perfect blend of power and refinement for a car like the SX4 S-Cross.
