This time I have a 2016 Jaguar F Pace 20d AWD on review, again borrowed a local dealer, Kevin Giles Motors, for review. This is Jaguar’s first foray into the SUV market, and in my opinion they’ve scored. Look at the review videos below to see my opinion on this offering from Jaguar. […]
I’ve borrowed a 2016 Mercedes A200d AMG from a local dealer, Kevin Giles Motors, for review. I like this version of the A class from Merc – its a much better shape and interior than the original one they launched. Having test driven two cars already in this hatchback segment, the Peugeot 208 and the […]
I’m typing this as I sit here waiting for my turn in the NCT Centre. I generally travel to the Mullingar as the NCT staff here understand that the cars they are testing are people’s pride and joy and they tend to treat them with respect. Unfortunately it seems that everyone has cottoned onto this […]
The time has come for my XF to undergo it’s NCT. Because the Jag has not reached the ripe old age of ten yet, she has to go through the NCT every two years. For those not in the know, the age rules are as follows: Once a car is four years old, it must […]
Firstly, I drive a Jaguar. However, I bought the XF myself after comparing it to a Merc, an Audi and a BMW, it is not a sponsored car and it’s my first Jag, so please don’t assume any sort of Jag bias here. Secondly, I sat in both an F-Pace and an E-Pace recently enough […]
The featured image on this post above is a Citroen SM, a car that was far ahead of its time and a result of Citroen purchasing Maserati and shoehorning a Maserati V6 into stylish coachwork that benefitted from the uber-sophisticated Citroen suspension. And why am I highlighting this car? Because the PSA group and FCA […]
At the Geneva motorshow in 2010 I made a beeline for the Lotus Evora. I was anxious to see this new Lotus, as I had recently test driven a Lotus Elise and discovered that you had to synchronise your breathing with your passenger – if they were inhaling I had to be exhaling such was […]
Turkey have announced another attempt at creating their own auto manufacturing industry. President Erdogan announced the TOGG SUV in recent weeks. The TOGG consortium, called Turkey’s Automobile Initiative Group was established during 2018, and is a joint undertaking between the Anadolu Group, BMC, Kok Group, mobile phone operator Turkcell and Zorlu Holding, the parent of […]
Aston Martin have announced their version of the SUV, called the DBX. And there’s some pressure on this car, as Aston Martin are relying on this car for company survival. This is an interesting situation – Astons have always been expensive cars but I thought they were cars that were selling quite well, albeit with […]
Where I live, we regularly get power outages due to high wind or some farm beast deciding to knock over an electricity pole. Therefore, I think I might be justified in saying that we don’t quite have our power supply infrastructure up to the level of modern civilization. But Leinster House (where our government sits, […]
