Between you and I – and everyone else who’s reading this including the people who lent me the car you see here – SUVs/CUVs are all broadly the same, and they’re all bit dull and that’s why we don’t really like them. They’re predictable, safe, solid, reliable, jack-of-all-trades vehicles with many merits and no significant … More 2022 XT4 is like other SUVs but better, and less expensive. And it’s a Cadillac
In factual terms, the Tesla Model S P100D is one of the fastest accelerating cars in the world. In Ludicrous+ mode (yes, that’s the actual name), it does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and that’s Bugatti Veyron SS territory. I know, I know what people say. Porsche people are making it very clear these days that … More With hindsight, the Tesla Model S is still the best EV in the world

A standard Lexus RX450h fitted with tech that’s far from standard … More Thermal-enhanced Lexus RX450h review: game-changing technology
Everything you see here is, at least on paper, wrong. It was a rainy day, which is not ideal for a track day, and it was a diesel car, which is not great. Also, the car is a convertible, which means it wasn’t dynamically and structurally ideal for a track day and also also, this … More Mercedes-Benz C220 review : can you still have fun with a diesel convertible around the track?
