First Drive: 2018 MG3

Review: 2018 SsangYong Rexton Ultimate
The Rexton has just been collected, and I’m sat here trying to think of the worst bit, or at least a negative, but I can’t. The Rexton is simply a good, solid car…
Review: 2018 Ford EcoSport
Now to be honest, when we planned this trip I’d organised for us to have a V8 Mustang, but a confusion in the booking procedure meant, well, I couldn’t have one, hence the EcoSport.
Review: 2018 Nissan X-Trail Tekna dCi 130 4WD
During this dark and dreary drive along a wet M62 and A1, the X-Trail proved itself to be a rather nice cruiser…
Review: 2018 Citroën C3 Aircross PureTech 110 Automatic
Funky and chunky. I think that’s a fair description… it certainly stands out from the crowd, and that’s before I mention the orange colour pack!
Review: 2018 Skoda Kodiaq SE L 2.0 TDI 4x4
The Skoda Kodiaq is a multi award winning large, 7-seater SUV that’s practical, comfortable and to a point, great value for money….
Review: 2018 All-New SsangYong Musso
My first drive was the automatic version loaded with 300kg of sand bags. The ride was smooth, as it should be, and its performance wasn’t…
Review: 2017 Mitsubishi L200 SVP
The L200’s sleek body seemed to cut its way through the turbulent wind like a hot knife through butter, especially high up on the M62…
Review: The Mighty Mercedes G-Wagen
At this point, Ian confidently pointed at the 3 buttons on the dash that marked the front, centre and rear locking differentials - so I pressed all 3…
Review: 2017 Suzuki Jimny
As well as the usual off-road trips and the daily commute, its biggest test was a 300 mile, 7 hour round trip to Powys to interview both Paul at Prolinx and Gwyn Lewis for the AWDC magazine…
Review: 2018 Mercedes Vito Tourer SELECT - Long
He shuffled away, visibly uneased by my invitation to explore the innards of a van with darkened windows. It isn’t like I’d written ‘Free sweets’ with an arrow pointing at the door or anything…
Review: 2018 Suzuki Swift 1.2ltr SHVS ALLGRIP
Now in its third incarnation Suzuki’s supermini is more popular than ever, and there’s a good reason for that. The new Swift has undergone a lot of development, and has…

It was comfortable, quiet and easy to drive, with speed bumps and child sized potholes being hardly noticeable…
Review: 2018 BMW X6 xDrive40d M Sport
The X6 is a premium car, so it’s hardly surprising that on any road it’s smooth, quiet and remarkably nimble, and when I say nimble, I mean that it doesn't feel its size - except maybe when you're….
Review: 2018 Subaru XV - New & Overhauled
The XV has been around since 2012, and has gained itself quite a fan base, and this latest incarnation hopes to increase it even more by aiming at a younger demographic than their other SUVs in the range. Subaru say that the new XV is ideal for ….
Review: 2018 SEAT Ateca 2.0 TDI 190 4Drive Xcellence
Although you wouldn’t think it by the amount of awards it has received, the Ateca is SEAT’s first foray into the crowded SUV market. To be fair, it already came with plenty of pedigree as it’s built on the same platform as the…
Flash Drive: 2018 Peugeot 3008
I’d been looking forward to getting my hands on one of these since I first saw the press photos last year. There were 2 versions to play with at the 2017 SMMT Media Day at Millbrook, the manual 1.2ltr PureTech 130 petrol and the …..
Review: 2018 Kia Picanto X-Line
Early last year Kia invited me to Tuscany for the launch of their new 3rd generation Picanto. I had a great time, not because I was in Italy, but the Picanto itself was fun, agile and a great little car to drive.
A year later, and the latest addition to the Picanto range, the All-New Picanto X-Line hits the showrooms, and is hoped to further
Flash Drive: 2018 V8 Ford Mustang 5.0ltr
Like all Flash-Drives, my time spent in the V8 Mustang was all too brief, but my most prominent memory of those fleeting 20-minutes was the maniacal grin that was affixed to my face as I flung this motoring legend around the…..
