The Bentley Continental GTV8 must be the ultimate getaway car for a bank holiday or any other break for that matter, writes Robin Roberts. GT is a very overused abbreviation but fully justified as a suffix to the Bentley Continental. This 191-inch long two-door coupe oozes ability to cover immense distances without complaint and cocooned in complete … [Read more...]

Weekend roadtest: Jaguar XE D200 SE R Dynamic
Jaguar’s baby car is maturing. The Jaguar XE series was introduced in 2015 to replace the X-Type and has been refreshed over six years so it now comprises more than a dozen models using the same four-door saloon body with petrol or diesel engines in rear or all-wheel-drive and five trim levels from standard to highly sporting as befits Jaguar's … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: VW T-Roc Cabriolet Design 1.0 TSI 110PS
The Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet is definitely good for your health this summer. We are increasingly being implored to get out into the fresh air to reduce the chance of catching Coronavirus but there are few true family four-seater convertibles on the market at this price. You don’t want to be cooped up in a tin-top on a hot day, or any day for that matter, … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Kia Sorento 4 1.6HEV
The Kia Sorento 4 is full of surprises in a market which often delivers nothing out of the ordinary, writes Robin Roberts. I mean; what car comes with an beach, a wood-burner, a café or its own forest? They are part of the “nat sounds” available in the highly sophisticated infotainment system and are a calming or relaxing influence in a car … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: Citroen New C4 1.2 PureTech 130 manual
Combine mid-sized hatchback dimensions with 5-doors in a Coupe styled bodyshell then add in must-have SUV styling cues and that mix should make the new Citroen C4 highly desirable. For good measure Citroen has thrown in attractive pricing and high specification. The C4 and its predecessors have been around in various forms in their mid-sized segment over … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Vauxhall New Insignia Sri VX-Line Nav
The Vauxhall Insignia is a lesson to rivals. While many challengers have or are about to move out of saloons/ hatchbacks and into crossover models in the modestly priced family sector, or executive brands keep pushing up prices but offering less in return, the Vauxhall hatchback stands out as extremely good value and packaging. The Insignia range today … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: Vauxhall Crossland SRi Nav 1.2 Turbo 130hp
After the latest Covid lockdown some 4,500 franchised car dealerships, plus many more used car centres, opened their showrooms to the buying public, at least dealers were hoping customers would be buying, writes David Miles. On Monday 12 April, the opening day for the car industry dealerships, shops, pub gardens, hair salons and so on, … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: MG5 EV estate
All credit must go to the new MG5 EV Estate. As many manufacturers fall over themselves to produce what are essentially the same pure electric cars in hatchbacks or saloon styles, the MG5 stands out from a crowd of challengers because it has none, at least no pure electric estate cars in this price bracket. The MG5 estate sounds unremarkable but that … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake
You can rightly expect exotic sports cars to turn heads, but when an estate car from a volume manufacturer manages to do that, you know the designers have created something very pleasing to the eyes. So it was full marks to the designers of the Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake which never failed on our test to turn heads with its … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: Peugeot 5008 Allure 1.2L PureTech 130
The UK car industry came to the end of its Covid induced click and collect period last week with healthy March new registration plate month sales, writes David Miles. Registrations were up by 11.5% over March last year when Covid first closed showrooms. However the March 2021 total of new cars sold 283,964 units is 37% below the 10-year March … [Read more...]
