Car review

Used Mazda 2 2007-2014 review

Back in 2008 the Mazda 2 was voted World Car of the Year. Considering the car’s engineering thoroughness and individuality, that shouldn’t be a surprise.

Used Chevrolet Cruze 2011-2015 review

The Chevrolet Cruze raises the bar for Chevrolet, but not for rivals including Skoda, Hyundai or Kia

Car review

Used Seat Ibiza 2008-2017 review

The Seat Ibiza is good looking, well-priced and spacious supermini that doesn’t quite live up to Seat’s sporty image

Car review

Used SsangYong Rexton 2003-2013 review

The SsangYong Rexton is a big, budget off-roader which feels cheap and crude by modern standards

Used Peugeot 308 CC 2009-2014 review

The Peugeot 308CC is a product from the masters of the coupe cabriolet, but is it their best effort yet?

Car review

Used Chevrolet Aveo 2011-2015 review

The Chevrolet Aveo is a well-executed, competitively priced supermini which majors on refinement rather than driver involvement

First Drive

Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition first drive

Tear-jerking good looks and a fabulously submissive sense of ride comfort add to a pleasing sense of heavyweight occasion behind the wheel

Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition first drive

The Avensis has styling adjustments to the grille, bumper and headlights

First Drive

Toyota Avensis Tourer 2.0 D-4D TR first drive

The Toyota Avensis delivers in some areas but as a package it falls well short of the grade that the Passat, Mondeo, Insignia, Octavia and i40 have established
