Toyota Yaris Cross Review

It’s the little Yaris for grown ups!

This is the Toyota Yaris Cross, which is more than just a jacked-up Yaris, but less than an actual SUV, more crossover and hence ‘Cross’. It may look very different and certainly feels bigger, but it’s actually built on the same platform as the current Yaris, but then so is the Prius. It doesn’t lack presence, particularly in the Bi-tone brass gold of the test car. The styling is quite angular, with a surprisingly blunt and somewhat aggressive front end.

Ford Mustang Mach 1 Review

Sharper More Planted Muscle car for track day enthusiasts

The original Mustang Mach 1 came out in 1969 as a performance package, with enhanced performance and suspension. That’s pretty much true of today’s version too, which you can identify from the more aggressive front lower end, the driving lamp housings in the grille and the bonnet stripe and highlighting around that and along the side profiles – sadly no shaker scoop – unlike the original.

Mercedes Benz EQS 450 Review

the S-Class of Electric Cars

My review of the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ Luxury at the SMMT Test Day. This £100,000 car is the S-Class of Mercedes’ all-electric EQ range, although it’s a completely separate ground-up design. I take a look at the boot, the rear passenger compartment, the front space and kit and take for a drive on a close hill course circuit. #BCGMercedesEQS

BMW M440i Gran Coupe xDrive Review

Good looking, fast & planted

Prepare to be confused. I am. And I know BMWs. This is the 4 Series, which of course is the two-door brother to the four-door 3 Series. Except you see four doors on the car in these pictures. In fact, it’s got five – because the boot lid is actually a hatchback.

2022 Mazda CX-5 Review

SUV Attacks Scottish Roads – and Wins!

Mazda launched a sensible, practical and comfortable high-riding family car in the Scottish Highlands some weeks ago. Stop. Just let that sink it. An SUV introduced in an area known for some of the best driving roads in the country – somewhere where typically you might think to launch a sports car as it would really be able to stretch its legs and demonstrate its abilities.
