    Mazda is known as a driver’s car and it has certainly gotten it right with the new Mazda3 Facelift. With a sleek and stylish looking exterior, the Mazda3 opens up to a spacious interior, with plenty of legroom for driver and passenger alike. The model I was driving was very comfortable, with a fabric...

    2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class exterior - left front

    If you’re on the lookout for a spacious family car but aren’t willing to compromise on style then you should take a look at the Mercedes-Benz B-Class. This five-seater has oodles of panache, from its beautifully designed glossy interior, to its Merc logo-looking air vents, to the pull up handle in the inside of...

    2012 Renault Clio Expression exterior - right side

    Renault really does excel when it comes to designing the little things in the new Clio. I was particularly taken with the tiny steering wheel audio/wiper stalks and they reminded me a little bit of Shrek’s antlers – but in a good way. The two-dials-in-one heating controls also deserve a mention in the design...

    2012 Seat Ibiza ST exterior - front view

    If it’s opulence you’re looking for in a car then step away from the Seat Ibiza ST now, however, if it’s a stylish looking car and a bloody good drive you’re after then you’re in luck. While I thought the Ibiza ST Style’s dull interior didn’t match its personality, it has to be said...

    2011 Citroen DS3 Racing exterior - front

    With its bright orange roof, alloys and wing mirrors and a polite rarrrr, the Citroën DS3 Racing is definitely not for the shy and retiring. The striking exterior colour is continued inside the cabin in the dash and orange stitching on the massive racing seats, making the interior as unique as the exterior. There’s...

    2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta exterior

    There is really no excuse for Giulietta drivers filling up with the wrong fuel – not only does it tell you on the refueling cap, it also tells you on the instrument panel inside the car. The 5-door Giulietta is a beautiful looking small family car that has the heart of a racer. Integral...

    Opel and its magic mirrors

    by  • April 4, 2012 • Car Reviews, Test Drives

    2011 Opel Insignia exterior - right side

    If I could only use one word to recommend the Opel Insignia it would be mirrors – wing mirrors to be exact. It may seem an odd feature to hang a car review on, but these are magic wing mirrors – they adjust their view when you put the car in reverse and return...

    If you’re in the market for a city car that will really stand out in the looks department and is a fun little drive then you should check out the Chrysler Ypsilon. The baby of the Chrysler family is a really distinctive looking car, especially the front grille, and the model I was driving...
