2016 Skoda Superb Review 23 Sep 2016
Limo space, massive boot, reasonably priced. It's the Skoda Superb.
Over the last twelve months, I’ve driven much of the Superb range from Skoda. Only two months ago I was in the Superb Combi, and I rattled on about the 660 litre boot and some of the simply clever stuff that is available with the car. Since then, I’ve got my hands on…

2017 Suzuki SX4 S-Cross Review 22 Sep 2016
Suzuki give an early and extensive facelift to the SX4 S-Cross
When Suzuki launched the first SX4 S-Cross in Ireland, it got a warm reception. However, the car itself never really seemed to take off. We’re hardly seeing an abundance on our streets. According to Suzuki, and some of their customers, the car was not SUV-enough to offer any…

Volvo S90 Review 14 Sep 2016
Could the Volvo S90's timing give it an advantage?
The Volvo S90 couldn't have come at a better time for Volvo. The XC90 was extremely popular for the Swedish brand and expanding on the 90 Series is a good opportunity to take advantage of all of that good press. The S90 is up against some extremely tough competition from the Audi…

We test the Volkswagen Transporter T6 around Dublin
I've always been a fan of vans. I love the ride height that they offer, then couple that with its practicality and you've got a good machine. Of course, unless you have an MPV version, vans only lack in the people carrying department. Thankfully, all of the good ones have either…

Subaru Levorg Review 14 Sep 2016
"Spiritual successor" of Legacy has been launched - meet the Subaru Levorg.
Remember the Subaru Legacy Tourer? It was pretty popular here in Ireland, and even now, 8 years on from when they stopped building it, there are a few to be spotted on our shores. Well, the "spiritual successor" of the Legacy has just been launched. Meet the Subaru Levorg. That's…

Preview: Toyota Proace Verso 12 Sep 2016
We went to Warsaw to check out the new range of Toyota Proace vans.
Recently we took a visit to Warsaw, Poland, to view the forthcoming Toyota Proace. Once this van hits the roads in Ireland, people will notice that it's very similar to that of the Peugeot Expert and the Citroen Dispatch. This is because all of these three vans all share…

Peugeot 308 SW New Car Review 13 Sep 2016
The Peugeot 308 SW - and its massive boot!
Last week, as I was driving the Peugeot 308 SW, I was pondering about the important things in life. For instance, why isn't Ireland more into estate cars? Personally, I'm mad about them. I love their practicality. I think their boots are brilliant – it’s the extra height…

Despite obvious impracticalities, I've found a MINI that I could live with!
There are tonnes of MINI fans out there, and while it took me a while to get on board, I am delighted to admit that I am one. Until recently though, had anyone asked me if I'd ever consider owning one, it would've been a "no" from me. I've always considered them to be too impractical…
