  First Photo of New SEAT Ibiza 20 Nov 2001 (News)
  The fact that's it's by far the most exciting looking of the trio is everything to do with SEAT's own 'auto emocion' styling studio in Sitges, presided over by none other than Walter de Silva, the man who delighted the World with the stunning Alfa Romeo 156. SEAT also leads the rest of the VAG group with the best front wheel drive handling, and the new Ibiza will be no exception, combining 'Agile Chassis' tuning with 'intelligent' power steering. And the new Ibiza will have the most powerful diesel in the A04 line-up: none other than the PD 130bhp combined with the same six-speed gearbox as the Golf (see road test on this site).

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 30-5-2015 30 May 2015 (News)
  Vital to remember to always idle the engine for two minutes before switching off after towing because the turbo will be much hotter than it would be driving solo.   The outer limits If it is a 30 mph limit, should I drive at that speed? If it shows 70mph, many believe we should drive at 70. Driving instructors tell pupils to maintain these speeds, and to accelerate quickly up to the limit.

  Jargon Buster: Van insurance 5 Jun 2017 (News)
  Telematics – a growing area of insurance and popular with van fleets, telematics policies involve fitting vehicles with an aeroplane-style black box or supplying drivers with a mobile phone app that monitors the van. They record things like mileage and driving style and give a more accurate depiction of how vehicles are being driven and what they are being used for. If the vehicles are driven sensibly and in accordance with the insurer’s stipulations then telematics can lead to cheaper insurance premiums.

  Happy Birthday: Ford Ka 17 Oct 2016 (News)
  It was an entertaining thing to drive, too. The platform was derived from that of the Mk 4 Fiesta, which had won universal praise for being a big step forward from the Mk 3, despite being based on essentially the same bodyshell. In many ways, it was reminiscent of the original Mini – small, noisy, but set up in such a way that you could chuck it into the bends without really slowing down, which made for an entertaining drive, especially when nipping in and out of traffic.

  Future Classic: Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring 2 Mar 2016 (News)
  That is, as much as you can get behind the wheel of one. The VXR, unfortunately, has a rather unpleasant driving position. Forget being hunkered down low, wrapped in race-style seats with supportive side bolsters – this Vauxhall leaves you perched up high and wondering why you can’t get the seat any lower.
