  Review: Thule Motion 3 roofbox (productReview)
  There's barely any noise, helped by the WingBar roofbars and it's easy to forget you even have a roofbox fitted most of the time. Our Audi Q7 is hardly the most efficient of cars, so perhaps not the best test, but we've not seen any real difference in economy with the Motion 3 fitted, aside from a drop of about 0.5mpg over long journeys.

  Review: Bridgestone Turanza 6 tyres (productReview)
  The Turanza 6 is 2dB quieter than the T005 it replaces and it's certainly a quiet tyre - something you readily appreciate on a big car like the Audi Q7.  In terms of grip, the big Audi Q7 isn't the kind of car you want to be throwing around corners, but as SUVs go, it's one of the better handling models out there. The Turanza 6 tyres give you plenty of confidence in dry conditions feeling confidently grippy through low speed corners and reassuringly safe at higher speeds.

  Review: Michelin tailored car mats (productReview)
  Comparing them with the original Audi mats, they are a perfect match for shape and size.  Given the Michelin brand, we had high expectations for these mats and they don't disappoint.

  Review: Guardsman dog guard (productReview)
  Guardsman has been running since 1964 and is also a long-term supplier of dog guards and cages to  both Guide Dogs and The Dogs Trust.  It's durable and easy to install, but at £100 (for the Audi Q2 variant we tested), is it worth your money? What's it like? The Guardsman dog guard is very easy to install, taking us around 10 minutes to fully fit the guard into our Q2.

  Review: Journey Rapid Express Wireless Car Charger (productReview)
  In the box you get the car charger itself, a USB-C cable (there's no 12v charger however), the support bracket, a dash mount, an air vent mount and a magnetic ring. We tested it in a 2012 Audi Q7 using the air vent mount, which we suspect most people would most over the dash mount.

  Review: Monojoy keyless car key signal blocker (productReview)
  And with this purchase, you get two pouches. It's pretty small, meaning our Audi key fob fits inside, and you could get a house key or another key fob in there as long as they aren't massive. The RFID blocking material also means you can put b uilding access keys, smart watches etc in there to protect them too - although we haven't tested the product for this purpose.

  Review: Virgin Experience Days Supercar Experience (productReview)
  The supercars in question vary depending on your location, but the big names are included such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin and Audi. It’s also worth bearing in mind that you won’t get to pick and choose whatever you want, with each location have its own fleet of vehicles from which you can make a selection and the more fancy examples will be in limited supply, although Virgin Experience Days do promise that every venue has at least one of the big five mentioned.

  Review: Disklok steering lock (productReview)
  Our pictures show it on a Ford Fiesta, but we also tested it on a Mercedes C-Class, Mazda CX-5 and Audi Q2 with no issues. It's worth buying the elasticated steering wheel cover (it's only £6) especially if you have a leather steering wheel, as it stops the Disklok marking it.  Disklok recommends storing it in the boot.

  Review: TowerTop Tyre Inflator (productReview)
  Plug it in and you'll instantly hear an internal fan running which hints at its capability. We're testing it on our Audi e-tron which is fitted with big 265/45 R21 tyres. We've deflated two tyres by half and the other two by about a quarter. With most tyre inflators this would take a fair amount of time, so it's a good test of the TowerTop.

  Review: Navdy head-up display (productReview)
  The Navdy has a better set of features than any manufacturer-fitted HUD around – and we think it’s a good preview of what makers like Audi will be doing in a few years to come. It’s like a taste of the future – but it’s only going to appeal to real technology lovers. However, if you’re into the latest gadgetry and you have the money, there’s nothing quite like the Navdy.

  Review: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
  We've now had our Ohme Home Pro for close to 6 months and it has been superbly reliable. We've used it with our own Audi e-tron as well as a slew of different EVs we have tested including everything from a Volvo EC40 and a Vauxhall Astra Electric to a Volkswagen ID.7 GTX and a BMW i5 M60. It's perfomed impeccably with all, which the app making things very simple to control.

  Review: Razor Crazy Cart Shift (productReview)
  For those that don't live a few minutes from where they want to use the Crazy Cart shift, it  might be a better idea to chuck it in the car rather than carry it - as we do. It fits fine in our Audi Q2, but if your rear seats/boot are full or you have a smaller car, it's definitely worth checking the dimensions to see if you'll be able to fit the cart in your car. A top speed of 8mph doesn't sound that quick, but at this height, it's still a thrill.

  Review: Pod Point Solo 3S EV Charger (productReview)
  We've used it with a variety of cars as well, from plug-in hybrids like the Skoda Superb Estate, to EVs like the Audi Q6 e-tron and Ford Explorer. All have happily connected and charged as expected without issues. We couldn't fault the installation process, while the unit itself appears well made (and it's great to have that five-year warranty to back that up), while the app is great - it's responsive and stable.

  Review: 70mai 4K Omni dash cam (productReview)
  width=599&height=423&mode=max" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/d5520dbd28224d1782b0f6f7579d5900" /> We're testing the 70mai 4K Omni in an Audi A6 e-tron Avant, powering it via the supplied 12v socket charger. Thanks to the USB lead you can power it from a USB port if you have one fitted. If not, the 12v socket has two USB ports, leaving you one free.

  Review: Joie Spin 360 (productReview)
  For those mushy banana and biscuit stains... We've tried the Joie in everything from sports cars like the Audi TT to people carriers like the Ford C-MAX. It's been easy to fit in everything thanks to Isofix arms which slide out a long way. Plus easy to use buttons that click green to show you it's securely fitted.

  Review: Maxi-Cosi AxissFix (productReview)
  But on the plus side, there's a proper cover for the buckle so that you won't pinch your little ones legs in the summer.  We tested the AxissFix in a variety of cars from estates like the Audi A4 Avant to hatchbacks like the Citroen C4. In our pictures we're using a people carrier - the Ford Tourneo Courier. While the top tether can be fiddly, the Isofix arms click into place easily and have simple adjusters for extending them if needed, although the buttons do feel a little flimsy.
