Nissan Juke Nismo RS road test report and review

THE Nissan Juke Nismo RS is the latest performance version of the popular little cross-over model built at the Japanese manufacturer’s huge facility in Sunderland. This is the top-of-the-range Nismo RS which took over from the Nismo I tested last year, and now features more focused and sharper handling, something I criticised the original model for.

Vauxhall Mokka Tech Line 1.4 turbo 140PS Start/Stop 4×4 road test report and review

THE Vauxhall Mokka is a smart looking mini-SUV and has become a common site on our roads thanks to its good value offering. It’s popular with a cross-section of buyers, from those young trendy people with an outdoor lifestyle who appreciate the built-in cycle carrier cleverly concealed in the rear bumper, which my test car should have featured, but didn’t thanks to Vauxhall sending me the wrong car, to those of a certain age who find the raised ride height much easier to cope with when getting in and out of the car.

Volvo XC90 road test report review

IT’S not often a Norse god gets involved in the design of a new car but that’s what has happened at Volvo with the new XC90 SUV. Seldom has a car had such a commanding presence on the road and its striking looks are set off with daytime running lights in the shape of the hammer of Thor.

Vauxhall Corsa SRI VX-Line 1.3CDTi 95PS road test report review

THINK Vauxhall Corsa and most of us will think of a small town runabout, but I covered hundreds of miles in this Flame Red Vauxhall Corsa, and was highly impressed with it – not least because it’s the most economical car I have ever driven! This Vauxhall Corsa actually returned an amazing 71 miles per gallon and I was so pleased that I had to pull over and take a picture.
