OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: BMW 1 Series M Coupe Is the BMW 1 Series M Coupe just a 135i with the wick turned up? Not a chance… We take the feral 1M for a good thrash to find out just how much of a proper M car it is! When BMW announced it was going […]

With the facelift of the current W204 iteration of the C-class, Mercedes-Benz has taken what was already a very good car and simply made it better. This sounds like a fairly sensible thing to do with a new model, but you would be surprised how many times it doesn’t work that way. Not with the […]
Let’s get the most annoying aspect of the Hyundai iLoad out of the way first – the key. The key for the iLoad isn’t so much of a problem in itself – after all it is a key, it does what keys are supposed to do; start the vehicle. Rather it is the positioning of […]
If you spent any time in the 1980s, you probably still can’t shake the idea that Volvos are boring. And let’s face it – back then, they were. The Swedish company’s focus has always been on safety and while safety is all well and good, it was hardly exciting. Unless, that is, you were a […]
There is much argument over what car could truly be considered King of the Hot Hatch genre, but you would have to be extraordinarily one-eyed – or maybe a bit stupid – if you didn’t at least concede that it most likely comes down to a choice between to two originators of the class – […]
BMW has released details and pictures of the new 1 Series. The next-generation small car was developed on the same platform architecture as the new 3-series and will, like the original 1 Series, appear first as a five-door hatch. It will be followed by a new three-door early next year, and will eventually spawn a […]
In a move of pure awesomeness, Jaguar has announced that it will team up with legendary British Formula 1 team Williams F1 to build the C-X75 hybrid supercar. Appearing at the 2010 Paris Motorshow, the C-X75 was a show-stopper, powered by two mid-mounted turbines. Predictably the turbines have been dropped and replaced by two electric […]
Referring to a car as refined, luxurious and poised as the BMW 535d as a muscle car seems more than a little incongruous, given that the phrase generally conjures up images of luridly-coloured American cars with colossal petrol-slurping V8 engines and lots of tyre smoke. In regards to that definition, the soberly-coloured, diesel-sipping turbo 3-litre […]
To say that buyers don’t want large vehicles anymore, and then point to the declining large car segment as proof, is actually somewhat spurious. While the proof would actually seem to be fairly black and white – large cars are selling in far fewer numbers every year – it’s actually more a matter of packaging. […]
To say that the SsangYong Korando has come a long way from its beginnings as a Jeep made under license by the Geohwa Company in Korea in 1983 is a pretty massive understatement. The second generation was based on a shortened Musso platform and featured styling that was just plain ugly, really and the fact […]
