Driving slowly around the many obstacles the Levante felt tight and secure. Without a traditional  low ratio gearbox, my escort for the drive encouraged me to constantly use the foot-brake to keep our speed down during the long, steep descents.  Inevitably we began to ………

For 2017 Nissan have given the Qashqai a facelift that they’re hoping will fight off the likes of the SEAT Ateca and Peugeot 3008. Of course in the flagship Tekna+ there's more to it than just that; the Qashqai comes loaded up with ……

When you are a big bloke it can be a bit tricky getting in and out of the more sporty vehicles, so here is a quick video to prove it can be done…..

Muddy Madam wanted to go out in the Cooper ALL4 PHEV Countryman.  Dragging my feet and huffing like a child in a supermarket, I begrudgingly went along, and I’m really glad I did because wow, it didn’t half make me smile!………

As someone who’s driven a lot of green ovals, both old and new, the Velar is very much the same as all modern Land Rovers, classy, comfortable, quiet and capable both on and off the road, well I’ll just assume the latter for the time being.  The Velar is the vessel I’d choose if I wanted to ……

What I like about the G-Wagen is, that since it was launched back in 1979, it has remained practically unchanged. The iconic go anywhere G-Class is the longest-running model series in Mercedes-Benz history, though of course it has been ……….

The more people I’ve spoken to recently, the more I’ve become aware of Isuzu’s importance in the land of the pick-up, as the D-Max has, and always will be the working truck of choice for many. Read any Australian 4x4 magazine and you can’t get away from

Now owned by the Chinese company SAIC, MG have jumped into one of the fastest growing motoring segments and have produced a rather fun, yet affordable SUV.  For the big boys, like Ford and Nissan, the quantity of GSs that are on the road in the UK is insignificant, but should they be worried?  Well ….

Since its introduction to the modern line up in 2001, the Superb has been the flagship model and has become the benchmark car for space, comfort and general workhorse-ness, especially if you’re a…

Before we start, I know Levorg is an odd name, but it’s a name that’s steeped in Subaru Heritage. You see it’s created from a combination of names previously used on the brand’s Boxer-engined Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive sport tourers;  LEgacy, ReVOlution and TouRinG………

There have been quite a number of automotive legends over the years, sadly a lot of them have been covered by the dust of time and very few are still going strong today.

One of the aforementioned few is the formidable Unimog, which I’m fairly confident the majority of people reading this will have heard of.  If you haven’t, and have recently arrived from the planet Zog, let me give you a brief history lesson……..

Suddenly, Muddy Madam became transfixed over the red Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible that we both drove during the 2014 SMMT day at Wetherby race course…….

When the invite came through from Subaru to test both their updated BRZ and Levorg down in Cowley near Cheltenham, I couldn’t resist…..

The Grand Cherokee in standard form isn’t a subtle 4x4 by any means, but when you add a deep front bumper which is filled with a huge air dam, flared wheel arches, 20” alloy wheels and finish off with a pair of big bore tailpipes, you get the sense that there’s …

The WRX is a strange car, but in a good way.  Yes, it’s a family sized 4-door saloon, yet it’s a 300ps 160mph monster, with handling characteristics to match.  First and foremost though, it’s a performance car that doesn’t compromise…

It’s a crossover-styled city car, that’s packed with goodies, for not a lot of money - and it’s a Suzuki, and what Suzuki doesn’t know about creating small cars and 4x4s frankly isn’t worth knowing..

Being the smallest 4x4 in the Jeep range, the Renegade is the companies attempt to break into the ultra-competitive compact crossover segment, and to do this they worked closely with designers and engineers from ……

Winning best hybrid vehicle award in this years Diesel Car & Eco Car Awards, the all-new Kia Niro hybrid crossover is doing rather well for itself.  Launched in August 2016, the Niro is Kia’s first dedicated hybrid vehicle and was a joint design venture between Kia's studios at Namyang in Korea and Irvine, California…….

Mitsubishi say that the Shogun is aimed at true off-road drivers who demand a comprehensively equipped, reliable and cost-effective vehicle with proven all-wheel-drive ability.  And they’re right, this classic off-roader combines four-wheel-drive...

The Alltrack is modified to provide both on-road and off-road capabilities providing, and I'm reading from the press bumf here, an excellent combination of performance, comfort, loadspace and traction in poor conditions.…
