THE LATEST Astra VXR from Vauxhall is exciting to look at and thrilling to drive. The muscular stance, the crazily big 20 inch alloy wheels and the leather hip-hugging sports seats aren’t exactly subtle. And, if for some reason you’ve had a ‘senile moment’ and need reminding further that you’re not […]
WHEN INTRODUCED in 1969, the Austin Maxi would hardly have been dubbed the last word in adventure.
And yet of the 450,000 manufactured, a 1970 model, which comes to auction by Historics at Brooklands in Surrey, on Saturday, March 9, is a real tribute to three lady thrill-seekers who took it on a 16,000 […]
AIMED AT continuing Kia’s remarkable growth record in the UK new car market, President and CEO Paul Philpott has announced a restructure of the UK company’s senior management team.
Yaser Shabsogh, currently Sales Director, becomes Commercial Director with immediate effect and will be responsible for the quantitative growth of the company. Simon Hetherington, currently Dealer […]
EVERY PARENT is familiar with the challenge of keeping a new car clean in the face of everyday use by children and pets.
Ford has now tried to make that job easier for mums and dads by “child-proofing” the new B-MAX.
Engineers subjected the new B-MAX to laboratory tests that simulate the toughest treatment […]
THIS SPANISH version of the Volkswagen Up and the virtually identical Škoda Citigo is a blast to drive.
It’s zippy and zesty, yet strangely practical – for a tiny car. The boot is deeper than you might think, so it can take a folded buggy for your ‘rug-rat’ as well as the mass […]
HYUNDAI makes some really exciting, different looking cars these days. The Veloster is perhaps the one that turns heads the most.
On the outside the motor is squat, sporty and sits on its haunches like a wild dog about to attack. It retains the standard car’s unique 1+2 door layout but with the […]
Having survived the Blitz as well as the addition of ballast in the form of an unexploded bomb, a car thought to be the sole surviving Morris London Taxi will make the journey to Brooklands for Historics’ spring auction on Saturday 9th March.
Originally an export model called the Empire Oxford […]
Hyundai has revealed plans for a new vehicle test centre, situated at the famous Nürburgring track in Germany – with construction well underway. The new facility, which represents a £4.5m (€5.5m) investment, reaffirms the brand’s commitment to developing its credentials as a top European carmaker.
Tests carried out at the new facility will be used […]
THIS IS a fine medium sized car – especially where looks and seating comfort are concerned. It’s just a shame the six speed electronic gearbox blights an otherwise decent drive.
In auto mode my DS5 demo was a bit like a rocking horse sliding downhill. It rocked forwards then backwards every time it […]
SITTING BEHIND the wheel of a Lexus is always a pleasure. It doesn’t really feel like you’re driving the GS 450h though – it’s so accomplished it almost drives itself.
The full hybrid GS 450h Luxury model, introduced in February 2012, does what it says on the tin well. It oozes opulence on […]
