Suzuki Swift
Status: Test In Progress
Run by: John Slavin
"The little Swift is a great looking hatchback and appears even better when you realise what good value for money it is."
Most recent updates:
Most of the time I've spent with the Swift has been in the cold of winter but now the sun is out the Suzuki is much more enjoyable to drive.
It may seem a new name, but the Swift's history can actually be traced back to the early 80s. Can you remember all the models?

Ford Focus
Status: Test In Progress
Run by: Dan Harrison
"All the ingredients are there for this to be a cracking all-rounder, with a rev-happy engine, large load area and feature-packed cabin. In silver and in Titanium X-spec, it's also a handsome-looking machine."
Most recent updates:
Although my Focus estate is packed with technology, new innovations are being launched on the model less than a year since launch.
