A £50k, 325-mile EV? 2024 Peugeot e-3008 review
Here's the new Peugeot 3008, reviewed on UK roads in electric 'e-3008' spec. This is a £50,000 car (£45k for a lower trim) that takes on the Tesla Model Y and VW ID.4. Join me for an in-depth look at the interior, boot, back seats and driving efficiency as I try to work out if it's a viable successor to one of my favourite left-field SUVs.

2024's maddest car? 3.3-litre diesel Mazda CX-60 review
Переглядів 9 тис.День тому
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Mazda's gone and made an all-new 3.3-litre inline six cylinder diesel engine. I thought we were meant to be driving EVs? Anyway, join me for my in-depth review of one of the year's most interesting SUVs, designed to take on the BMW X3 and Audi Q5, but in Mazda's own inimitable way with lots of nice wood and cloth and… that diesel engine. You love to see it. ...
The biggest surprise of 2024: Audi RS7 Performance review
Переглядів 7 тис.2 дні тому
Fast Audis can be very hit and miss - my favourite ones all hark from the mid 00s - but this latest iteration of the RS7, called the Performance - is shockingly good. Join me for a full review as I find out how Audi's brought some soul, driving tactility and more to a 2.0-tonne V8-powered hatchback. Yes, it's a hatchback. And it's bloomin' good. 👍 Follow my new Facebook page: timro...
Fast but futile? 2024 MG4 XPower review
Переглядів 4,2 тис.21 день тому
The MG4 XPower is an electric family hatchback that can hit 62mph in 3.8 seconds. Which is great, but what's it actually like to live with as a family car? What's it good at? What does it suck at?

An SUV with soul? 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio road and track review
Переглядів 11 тис.Місяць тому
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio's a bit of a bloomin' mouthful, and it's certainly getting on a bit, but a raft of updates for 2024 aim to make it feel more modern, more slidey and generally more entertaining.

Join me as I find out whether the dinky rear-drive sports car is still a lesson in driving pleasure, and whether you could daily drive it or take it on a road trip.

The GEEKIEST fast estate: Peugeot 508 PSE review
Переглядів 6 тис.2 місяці тому
I do love a fast wagon, and the Peugeot 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered (PSE) is a hugely interesting car - it uses two electric motors and a 200hp petrol engine to give a 5.2-second 0-62 time, while also offering reasonable boot space and… erm, slightly rubbish back-seat accommodation.

We've all heard the whinges: BMWs are too ugly, too expensive and not posh enough. So find out why the £70k BMW X5 is one of the best cars they make.

    Suspect there will be the usual 25% discount off list when the dealers start to get themselves organised, see the current pricing for E2008 & E308 as examples. Why Stellantis can't put a realistic list price from the start is baffling, particularly when their current approach means the car will be subject to luxury uplift for VED. They appear to be inviting the chinese brands to come and eat their lunch, SAIC, BYD & Ora must be delighted that the EU manufacturers are so inept.

    This car is awesome guys. Buy one if you can. If you get a used one, even better. 50 mpg all day long. And it is more reliable than the PHEV version. I used to sell these so trust me on this. Beautiful engine.

    yeh dont get the air suspension, it makes the car too hard... the turn in is not because of the DRC option, its because the turn in and rack has been changed, new light weight wheels, new light weight diff, new rear diffs - the car is fundamentally different to the old one... I had the old one in DRC and it didnt turn in anywhere near like the new one, on air or drc

    Dear Tim, love your enthusiasim but frankly the price of ALL EVs is ridiculous and the technology is not really for 'prime time', Buying an older ICE or 'self charging hybrid' makes most sense for a market where something like over 80% of us buy second hand and not new. This means that most of us will be looking at +3 year old that have just come out of lease with company/fleet users and rich people so consider reviewing cars like that. Keep the nonsense coming :) Oh, "Le Tim est stinky" - yeah I failed French too.

    I'd say this interior is more posh than any Audi. I've been in Audi SQ7, Q5 Sportback, Q3, Q4 Etron and they disappoint with cheap hard plastics, thin door cards and dull colours. The CX-90 in Canada is way cheaper and that Signature trim blows many Audis out of the water. Beautiful wood (or simulated), colours in the right places, metalwork, comfy real leather seats, thickly padded door cards. IMO more substantial. Audi might have the edge in door solidity but they cost way more :( So Mazda it is :)

Either way their both incredible motors for what they are and as for the Tiguan... This bloody thing is absolutely amazing off road. Not extreme off roading but I'd say it'll go 70% of the places a landy would travel in stock form. That's impressive..
