- The Qashqai has won over scores of buyers since its introduction in 2006 and now the chunky, funky Nissan has sprouted an extra row of rear seats to cater for larger families. Mechanically it’s much the same as the outgoing Qashqai, but the Japanese manufacturer has reworked the exterior with some subtle styling changes and even more space inside.... read more
2.0 CRD Limited manual - The Jeep Patriot was launched in the Summer of 2007, at the same time as the similar Jeep Compass. Both models come with the same choice of engines, although the more rugged-looking Patriot costs a £2k less and apparently appeals more to men, while the softer Compass is aimed more at women. I should like the Patriot, then…... read more
133 - The standard Twingo hasn’t been as successful as Renault had first hoped – flimsy build quality and a soft drive don’t do it any favours. But hot hatches have always been what the French do best, and Renault has come up trumps with the Twingo 133. Usable performance, a firm and communicative chassis and generous spec for not much money make for a real winner.... read more

Speed - The fastest production Bentley ever; if the standard Continental GT 6-litre W12 twin turbo engine doesn’t give you enough thrills then look no further than the Bentley Continental GT Speed.

- Up until 2001 Aston Martin didn’t have a true, full-on supercar to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. But then came the all-new Vanquish. It was sleek, fast, and sophisticated, and brawnier than a bag of gladiators. The revised and even beefier Vanquish S followed in 2003. 200mph anyone?... read more

Purchased new - noticed pools of water on front passenger seat first time it rained. Vehicle returned to dealership for repair. Front leak fixed but vehicle came back with two leaks to the rear. After eight visits to the dealership to repair the problem Renault have decided that it is a tolerance that cannot be fixed and I will have to put up with a leaking roof. I am now seeking legal advice as I am not prepared to be tolerant and accept this decision.
