It’s tricky arguing against the plethora of SUVs which swamp our roads because buyers plainly like them, but you could never say that an estate wasn’t just as versatile and practical as an SUV. Graham Courtney took the Audi A4 40 TSFI for a spin to disprove that theory.

Mike Booth was sent to Warwick for the launch of the CALLUM & Nyobolt EV sports car concept. At one of the old Jaguar Land Rover facilities, he found how this car, while borrowing ideas from the past, is potentially gamechanging for the future of EVs.

John Marcar joined Team Triumph to take part in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in London on May 21st, 2023. 500 riders on 500 bikes took to the streets of London dressed in their Sunday best, to raise money for some truly amazing causes. Read about the day here.

The Super Meteor 650 fits into the category of Cruiser, a field that Royal Enfield has been familiar with and excelling at for many decades. This is, however, the first time Royal Enfield has produced a cruiser with the 650 twin engine. I've always admired the smaller 350 single-cylinder engines, but to speak the truth, despite the characterful charm of the singles, I've always lusted after a little more 'go', and the 650 twin gives just that.

Thanks to the variance of driver modes, the M3 touring is a car that can do it all. I find the M3 Touring comparable to the F90 M5, which, although it is a very different car in terms of power and performance, it's a car that can do it all and, crucially, disappears into traffic when you want it to. The M3 touring, like the M5, falls into the category of stealth wealth. It is a car that is rightfully recognised by people who know what it is and blissfully ignored by people who couldn't care less.

Have you ever fancied a taste of Formula One? .. Well, we’re perhaps not quite there, but Renault suggests that their technology is filtering down through their manufacturing and into their everyday vehicles more and more so when it comes to hybrid power - this being one of them. What did our roving reporter, Graham, think?

Keeping with the times but not succumbing to the pressures of it can feel a little like an uphill struggle, perhaps even more so when there’s family to think about. Now, we all like to have options, some of which can feel limited, but it is possible that Peugeot may just have the Goldilocks option for family cars..?

The Toyota GR86: Is it too good to be true with top-notch fun and performance, or is it truly that good? For most of us, it’s likely to be a case of look but can’t touch, however our roving reporter Graham Courtney recently had the pleasure of finding out.

Out with old and in with the new it might seem - our roving reporter Graham Courtney recently enjoyed the delight that is the Mercedes AMG SL 55 4MATIC.. does it live up to expectation?

Bentley has always been synonymous with the mantra of producing cars to drive and be driven in. Flagship models for the brand since the 1960s have been extended, sleek limousines in the form of the Continental, Arnage and later, the much-fabled Mulsanne. But in the summer of 2020, it all ended for the Mulsanne, the reigns for the limousine were handed over to the continental flying spur, and the focus for a future best-seller was all placed on the Bentayga, Bentley's initially controversial SUV, which first made an appearance in 2015.

John wanted to see why the Kia EV6 seems to be causing such a stir amongst his media colleagues and journalists. After all, it’s just another family car, right? Kia sent John their GT-Line S RWD version of the car to let him find out for himself.

My latest press car delivery is Audi's take on the premium EV car market, and I have been looking forward to this one for a few weeks. The Audi e-tron GT Quattro has a lot to get excited about; it's spacious, highly practical, looks great, and, best of all, is shaped like a car - and a very good-looking car, at that.

Please welcome the Alfa Romeo Tonale….pronounced Toe-nar-lee.

It might not look like it, but this car is the start of the future for Alfa Romeo. It’s important for the Italian firm because, over the next 5 years, more and more Alfas will come with battery power…roughly one per year.

Wind in the hair motoring never got so good.

Bentley has a long and proud history in motor racing. The Bentley Boys, Le Mans, Brooklands, the Bentley Blower, Indianapolis. They also have a wonderful history for wind in the hair, flies in the teeth, open-top motoring. And if there’s one thing that really gets us excited it’s a powerful convertible.

Like the Bentley Continental GTC Speed, for example.

The car landscape is heavily evolving and the race for car firms to produce a range of electric cars continues to gather pace, with the important thing for all of the manufacturers being to have at least one electric car in every section of the market. And that is precisely what Mercedes is doing with their latest car…the EQS SUV.

Since 2010, John Marcar has been looking for conclusive evidence that fast estate cars are worthy of high status, and BMW might have just helped his case with this, the BMW M340i xDrive Touring LCI.

Could this be the perfect blend of practicality, performance and fun whilst also returning sensible economy figures? John certainly thinks so…

“We used to look forward to driving” - is this a sentence many of us may find ourselves saying in the not-too-distant future?

John Marcar recently experienced the future as represented by VW and its ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5 cars and ended up asking the question; Has driver efficiency come at the cost of driver engagement?

Think of 5 new EVs, and I'll bet that at least 4 of them are big blobby-shaped SUVs, except, most of the time, they're not SUVs; they're just confusingly enormous 4-seat cars. I understand that large cars are on trend at the moment; customers clearly want to buy them but what I can't work out is why? What was ever wrong with a car shaped like - a car?

Is it fair to say that our population is fairly un-used to change?

This question was explored further by our roving reporter Graham Courtney, who recently enjoyed an introduction to the 2022 Mercedes EQS - Can we adapt to electric, and are we ready for it?

Graham Courtney recently took delivery of Lexus' latest luxury sports convertible. The LC 500 looks great, feels great and packs a punch... but at what cost?
