We drove a Ford Galaxy. Read more
Alex and Jon went to drive the Skoda Greenline II range. They sampled the Fabia, Octavia, Superb and Yeti. Read more

Having tried its ‘warm’ brother, we felt that the Citroen DS3 was a pretty sorted hatch. But we (Alex especially) wanted a bit more power. Which is handy, really, because Citroen brought out the DS3 Racing – a harder, faster and brighter hatch. Read more
We like Q Cars here at the Podisode. Especially when they’re REALLY unassuming. The Skoda Fabia vRS Estate is one of those cars. Unlike the hatch it’s not garishly painted, covered in spoilers or the like. It looks like a Skoda Fabia Estate. You know, a normal one. That carries dog groomers and mums around. Nothing special, nothing offensive at all. Read more
I was a sceptic before I drove the LEAF. I thought it was an expensive, limited way of getting around. However, driving it proves that it’s a very expensive way of getting around a small area. But that’s not the point of it. Read more
Being a MINI man I approached the Citroen DS3 with some caution – it threatened ‘my’ brand’s crown . I was right to be worried – it’s really well sorted car. The inside, while a little dark, is very well laid out, easy to use and somewhere you wouldn’t mind having your mother be. If you take her out a lot, that is. Read more

When we got told by the chaps down at Ford heritage in Dagenham that we could go down and have a look around at their toys, as well as drive around in their Ford Model T, I have to admit, I wasn't particularly excited. But... Read more

The DS4 is the latest addition to Citroen’s DS sub-brand. It’s neither a hatchback nor a coupé. And it rides very high so you can see out of it. So what is it? Stuck in niche-purgatory or actually really clever? Jon and I found out... Read more

Everyone loves a Yeti. Though to find out why, Alex drove one to Belgium with Motoring Research’s CJ Hubbard. Turns out there are many reasons for the Yeti-love. Read more

What happens when you stuff over 260 horses inside a family hatchback? Well, lots of fun as it turns out. Read more

It’s rare to see such a beast as the Cayman R at Podisode HQ. So when the offer of a few days babysitting was laid down we jumped at the chance. Read more

It’s not often (read: it never happens) that I'm invited to go and play in a Ferrari 458. So when James Baggott from Car Dealer Magazine rang and asked whether I’d fancy going to Wales to join his Road Test of the Year I left a little cartoon-style cloud outline as I sped out of the door. Read more

If you listened to the recent Ferrari Podisode you’ll know that I went to the Car dealer Magazine Road Test of the Year. What you may not know – is that there were more cars than the 458 attending... Read more

It’s not just a rebodied version of the five-door hatch. It’s much, much more than that. Read more

Alex and Phil spent a week in the company of the mighty fine, if a touch bumpy, Renault Clio Cup. They had… thoughts about it. Read more
