Driven: Volvo V40 D4 at Goodwood race circuit – Just how good is Volvo’s new premium compact car?
After well over three decades of driving I might (finally) be showing signs of growing up. Not because I'm reviewing a new Volvo, although I'll come back to that somewhat jaded stereotype a little later. Instead I'm learning to value cars which manage to tick a multitude of boxes, treading that fine line between usability and fun.

Putting the Customer First: Audi responds to the TT Window Regulator issue
Back in February, we published a running report on our own Audi TT 2.0 TFSi which focused on a problem that had blighted our enjoyment of the car - namely the driver or passenger window becoming 'stuck' half open.

Driven: Volvo V60 T6 AWD R-Design Polestar meets Shelsley Walsh
There was a time when owning a Volvo was considered cool - the year was 1994 and Volvo had teamed up with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) to contest the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
To help raise the brand's profile, Volvo originally chose the 850 Estate, which they reasoned would generate the most media exposure.

Group Lotus – A future worth fighting for
It's been a matter of debate for months now as rumours continue to abound over the future of Group Lotus. But rather than clarify the situation, most reports serve only to confuse and frustrate an already jaded audience.

Lotus: What happened to the truth..?
Do you care about the truth? Do you care about the survival of a company whose engineering innovation has fundamentally influenced the cars we drive today? Do you really care? Or is Lotus just another target to parody and poke fun at for our own amusement?

Running Report: 2007 Audi TT 2.0 TFSi
The British Winter. It's not 'too' arduous really, provided you don't get stuck in a sudden blizzard, or your washer fluid freezes up, or some fool yet again launches themselves into the street furniture whilst attempting to drive, text and sip a piping-hot skinny latte.

What would you do with 48 of the most exclusive high-performance sports cars, 1,150 fresh Michelin performance tyres and an empty race track at your disposal? Is there really any question to answer? No, of course not.

The Speed of Sound (Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca) – w/AUDIO
The challenge whenever we test a car is to convey just how it feels behind the wheel. The tools at our disposal are words, pictures, video and sound, but I've always believed that you can't beat the sound of an engine at full-chat.
The Ford Mustang Boss 302 is all about the engine - NOT a muscle car engine as you might expect, but instead one of the finest normally aspirated V8s on the market today.
