Volkswagen Touran On Test
The Mighty Touran – Ever have one of those days when you realise you have too many kids, with too many toys and not enough car? Yep, me too. Fortunately VW have predicted this and have built the Touran for just such epiphanies; the car boasts up to 7 seats in multiple variations offering space

Mercedes Citan 109CDI Long Tourer
Like most men, the Citan comes in either Long or Extra Long variants. Being a person of simple pleasures I opted for the Long, it is also the most eco model at 112g/km CO2 and potentially better than 60mpg. Mercedes make some stunning cars, and while this isn’t one of them, it has a certain

Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI KX-3
Kia are an odd car company. They are odd in that they offer a seven year warranty across the range, not the industry standard three, they are odd in that they consistently put the customer first, hence why they are at the top of the J.D. Power survey this year, and they are odd because

And Katie Price. In this bracket image tends to outstrip practicality, but again

Nissan E-NV200 Evalia
Everybody knows electric cars are ideal city cars, so obviously the sensible test for Nissan’s new 7 seater EV was to head from our Northamptonshire base to North Wales with the kids for the weekend. 200 miles each way should be fine shouldn’t it? Well actually it was. The sumptuous comfort and magic-carpet ride had

Nissan Leaf 30Kw
Spring is clearly happening early this year. I have seen flowering Daffodils, nesting doves, trees full of blossom and even a new Leaf. But it is only February. While all the other things on the list might be wiped out by a sharp frost, this new Leaf looks likely to go on to a good
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GX4h 2016
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A couple of weeks ago I asked my eldest if I could borrow his BMX for half an hour – “No way Dad!” “Why not?!” “Coz you wreck stuff. Always.” He knows me too well. So when Mitsubishi asked if we would like to test their 2016 Outlander PHEV for a week

Kia Soul EV
Kia Soul EV We are very lucky you know. I do not believe that there have ever been more stylistically quirky or odd-ball cars available on the mainstream market than we have right now. I am referring to the likes of the Nissan Juke (frog), BMW’s i3 and i8 (a bubble and a fantasy-car),
