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
2.0 TDI SE Avant - The Audi A4 2.0-litre TDI SE Avant was kindly supplied by Inchcape Audi. Simply select your local dealer by following the link provided - Inchcape Audi.... 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. Bespoke Mulliner internal features as well as the tweaked engine are a couple of ‘upgrades’ on the standard model. The team at Bentley have improved upon automotive perfection!... read more
- 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
XL 2.0 TDI Stylance - SEAT prides itself on making cars with flair, passion and spirit – cars for customers who want to stand out from the crowd. You may or may not agree, but on a more practical level, the Altea XL is an accomplished all-rounder with the biggest boot in its class.... read more
500 & 600 - Based on the S-Class, the CL is the Mercedes for well-heeled drivers who don’t wish to be mistaken for a chauffeur or dipomat, and who seek an even sportier image than that offered the CLS sports saloon. And like those Stuttgart stablemates, the CL is also a contender for the title ‘World’s Best Car’. ... read more
1.2 - Need a 4x4 but don’t want to break the bank? Want to get your tyres properly muddy occasionally but don’t wish to be branded as some kind of maniac eco-saboteur? Fiat’s thrifty, diminutive and surprisingly capable Panda 4x4 could well be what you’re after.... read more
Carrera 4S - Cars come and cars go, but not Porsche’s seemingly everlasting 911. First produced way back in 1964, the current ‘type 997’ version was launched some 40 years later, and with a minimum of 345bhp and four decades of constant development and refinement, the 911 remains the GT car to beat. ... read more
1.5 CRDi - The current Rio was launched in 2005 and it signified a major advancement over the old model for the Korean manufacturer. In terms of size it’s a hard car to pigeonhole as it’s bigger than, say, a B-segment Fiesta, and smaller than a C-segment Focus. But does size really matter?... 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.
