Two years on from my first test of a pair of Grand Vitaras, a 1.6 petrol SWB and a 1.9 diesel LWB, Suzuki sent me its new 2.4 ‘silent chain cam’ petrol model to complete the hat trick.

I really liked the original Hyundai i10 1.1 when I tested it back in March.

The new Renault Laguna hatchback left some reviewers underwhelmed. Yet the Laguna Coupe has completely the opposite effect.

The Mazda BT-50 pick up, originally launched in 2006, has just had an upgrade, with the new option of a 3.0 litre engine and 5-speed automatic transmission for the UK.

This car surprised me.

If you’re looking for a mini limo, look no further.

This is Ford’s big new baby, and its first truly world car since the Model A. The new Fiesta will be built in plants throughout the planet, from Valencia in Spain to Rayong in Thailand. In a couple of years there are going to be literally millions of them out there.

I’ve got my own cute little FIAT 500. But the car I’ve been doing the miles in is a Ford Focus ECOnetic.
