The VW Touran is VW’s answer to the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic – a more petite people carrier. Based on the VW Golf underpinnings, it is a safe and conservative – some might say boring – seven-seat, mid-sized people, carrier.

This is the much anticipated replacement for the Ferrari F430 – Maranello’s most successful car to date – and features a new 4.5 litre V8engine. The 458 Italia also gets a sorted and tweaked version of the 7-speed dual-clutch ‘box found in the Ferrari […]
New Jaguar XJ – the Configurator
Now the news has died down a little on the new Jaguar XJ – and we’ve done a round-up in our new Jaguar XJ Review – we won’t have much new to say until Jaguar start to let us loose on the actual cars. Which isn’t going to be until towards the end of the […]
Vokswagen Tiguan Reviewers- latest update
As you’ve seen before, we decided to follow what was going on with VW’s aim to find the best amateur car reviewer in their People’s Reviewer competition. So as it’s been a week or two since we last had a look, we thought we’d do a quick update. There have already been two groups of […]

Ferrari 458 Italia Revealed
We’ve seen spy shots of what we (and most others) believed would be the new Ferrari F450. Well, we were very close. The engine is 4.5 litres and custom would suggest the name would be Ferrari F450. But Ferrari has thrown us a curved ball and decided that the F430’s replacement will be the Ferrari […]
Jaguar XFR Review: The Photos
When we had the Jaguar XFR for review, we were very taken with how it looks. Much better in the flesh than the studio photos we’d seen when it launched. So we had to get our snappers busy to take a set of pictures. Whether or not we’ve managed to capture the essence of the […]
Jaguar XFR Review: The Styling
The Jaguar XFR doesn’t shout it’s credentials from the rooftops. It’s subtle; refined; understated. But the signs are all there if you look. Big 20″ alloys with ‘Supercharged’ engraved round the centre. Bonnet louvres with more ‘Supercharged’ script. Gaping air intakes in the front to gulp in the oxygen the 503bhp Supercharged engine needs. A […]
Jaguar XFR Review: On the Road
Having enjoyed the theatre of the interior, you half expect Elgar to blare from the Bowers and Wilkins Sound System as you press the pulsating start button to fire up the XFR. But – beyond a muted roar – it’s all very civilised. Gently touch the throttle to move off, and there’s no drama. Responsive; […]
Jaguar XFR Review: Conclusion
As you may have realised by now, I’m deeply impressed with the Jaguar XFR. But I’m pretty certain it’s an objective decision. Subjectivity certainly comes in to it, but it’s not the subjective views on the design or the perception that dictates the opinion that the XFR is one of the finest cars on the road. […]
