Visiting the Paris Motor Show in October 2008, I was surprised to see what looked like a facelifted Citroen C1 on the Nissan stand.

This is a twin-test of the all-new Jaguar XF 5.0 V8 petrol and 3.0 V6 diesel.

My fault, I know. I video tested the KIA Soul without knowing exactly which model it was. So, though a phone call to KIA elicited the information it was a Soul 2 diesel at £12,495, in fact it turned out to be a Soul Shaker diesel at a slightly stiffer £13,495.

My week with a Hyundai i20 1.2 Comfort didn’t start well.

The Mazda 5 has had a facelift.

Driving down to Poole in Monday’s rain I thought I might as well be going to test a bath.

When I first tested the Mk V Golf I thought at last VW had come up with a Golf that actually lived up to the car’s image. It wasn’t just a step better than the miserable Mk IV, it was a whole leap better.

The old Suzuki Wagon R and Vauxhall Agila were archetypal old people’s cars. They had upright seats and were easy to get in and out of, but looked like shoeboxes on wheels. Consequently, very few people who weren’t getting on a bit bought them.

First, it’s not “Me Too”, it’s “Me Toe”.
