1.4 SE and 1.4 Sport - The all-new 5-door Ibiza supermini was well received by the media when it was launched in July ’08. Two months later comes the 3-door SC model, or SportCoupe. SEAT expects to sell the three of these sleeker, 3-door SCs for every one 5-door version. But how good is it?... read more
2-door and Unlimited 4-door - The bloodline of the latest Jeep Wrangler can be traced directly back to early World War II.

M5 - The concept of a 4-door saloon with supercar performance is an exciting one.

2.0 TSI - Cars with folding hardtops used to be a rare sight until the Mercedes SLK came along, but now there’s a plethora of similarly-quipped, so-called Coupe Cabrios; VW wasn’t the first to follow the SLK’s lead when it launched the Eos in 2006, but could the Eos match the reputation of the much-loved Golf Cabrio that it replaced?... read more
Stop & Start 1.4-litre petrol - Citroen’s C3 Stop & Start was launched in 2004 and it boasts one significant and unusual technical feature. When it slows to a halt at lights or in traffic, the engine automatically stops itself to save fuel.

Purchased this car in July absolutely lovely, champagne colour. Roof is panoramic and draws looks no end when down. Have developed horrendous squeel when reverse brake engaged. Any idea why? Garage says dust but is really annoying. Any tips would be grateful.
