If you’re contemplating buying an all-new Mazda2, you should think long and hard about it, as it could change your life. For a start, it’s a head-turner, so you won’t be able to go anywhere without people in the street giving you a double take. You may even decide to park it outside your lounge […]
Some of you may be thinking about looking to electric power when it comes to your next car, to do your bit for the environment. A lot of the attention tends to shine on pricier electric sports and prestige cars, like BMW’s i8 and the Tesla S, but more affordable all-electric cars are out there, […]
On Wednesday, Carrot Insurance hosted a Twitter discussion on the safety of young drivers, with the aim of finding out what people think should be done to make the roads a safer place.

If you’re a bit of a petrolhead like me, there’s a good chance you’ll often find yourself relentlessly thumbing up and down apps from AutoTrader, Gumtree, FreeAds and the like, drooling over various cars you don’t really have the money for. Imagine you won £20,000 on one of these daytime TV shows. Naturally, you would […]
The country’s basking in cracking weather at the moment which means most of you will be outdoors enjoying barbecues, knocking a football around in a park with your mates, getting back into fitness or just soaking up the rays.

A road trip to the new i20’s home capital would’ve been much more of a hoot than testing it in the Mancunian rain that poured down for the whole week. It might’ve been tricky to twist the arm of Hyundai’s press office, though, plus I wouldn’t have been able to afford the fuel or accommodation […]
What a week it’s been in the world of motoring, with Jeremy Clarkson’s Top Gear contract not being renewed by the BBC, heralding the somewhat sad end of an era.
