I recently got to drive the all-new Kia Carens on UK roads for the first time. Believe it or not, I’d been elbows out to do this event, given my experience of shipping a growing family in my long-term Kia cee’d Sportswagon.
Motoring Research editorial director Richard Aucock is racing a Mazda MX-5 at Silverstone today. He’ll be blogging live from the circuit as he goes. Read on for news of his progress: updates will appear at the top…
When the mk1 VW Golf GTI was launched back in 1976 the car has defined a genre of fast hatchbacks that can thrill and excite, but still cut it with the likes of more luxurious and refined metal.

I’m on an electric car launch yet again – and I’m really enjoying drinking in how manufacturers are approaching the problem of pollution in different ways, coming up with similar but subtly different solutions as a result. I’ve driven two other EVs relatively recently – the new Renault Zoe and the updated 2013 Nissan Leaf. Both are pretty damn good. Today however, I’m currently on route to Sweden to try Volvo’s take on a zero tailpipe emissions vehicle with its updated C30 Electric. |
