The Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear is the latest creation from the Swedish hypercar manufacturer, and it’s arguably the wildest machine they’ve built to date. Based on the Jesko Attack, the Sadair’s Spear is a track-focused tribute to Christian von Koenigsegg’s father, Jesko, and his beloved racehorse named Sadair. Only 30 units will be produced, all of which are already spoken for. At the heart of the Sadair’s Spear is Koenigsegg’s fearsome 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8. It produces 1,600+ horsepower when running on E85 and over 1,300 horsepower on regular pump gas. This immense power is routed through the brand’s proprietary 9-speed Light…
When purchasing a vehicle that meets the needs of a growing family, it is usually a matter of prioritising space, safety, and comfort without exceeding the budget. Couples struggling with this dilemma often turn to options like used car financing deals with CarMoney and other brokers, which enable them to obtain good family cars without having to come up with a large down payment. These alternatives offer greater choice, improved specifications, and reduced financial strain. Why Deposit-Free Makes Sense for Families Having a family or running a family on a budget doesn’t leave much room to spend on big one-time…
Mobile vehicle services do away with the inconvenience associated with visiting the garage. If you have old tires or it is time to change the oil, specialists come to your doorstep and provide services, thus saving time and making car ownership easier. These technicians come along with the tools, products and skills needed to complete a variety of maintenance jobs, both mechanical and cosmetic. Customers who want to have their tyres fitted, battery changed, or get their car valeting in Cardiff can just make an appointment via the internet or an application. The technician, in turn, will come to the…
Exotic cars come with a reputation that stretches far beyond their performance stats or glossy paint jobs. They represent precision engineering, substantial investments, and often carry significant emotional or historical value. Moving such vehicles from one location to another isn’t as straightforward as driving them onto a trailer and hitting the road. Each step in the process—from selecting the right transport method to understanding insurance options—demands precision, discretion, and expertise. This guide walks through what goes into hauling and transporting exotic cars, laying out the most important considerations to keep them safe from pickup to drop-off. Choosing the Right Car…
Check the price of a Porsche Cayenne with our free car valuation tool… Running costsAs you’d expect, running any Cayenne is costly. Insurance ratings range from 44 to 50, while all are subject to the luxury road tax supplement until year six. Expect 35-40mpg from a PHEV, but more like 25-30mpg from V6 petrol cars; the V8s are more likely to average no more than 20mpg. Services alternate between minor and major, which are priced at around £1,100 and £1,600 respectively, although exact costs vary depending on spec. Those prices might seem steep, but with a service interval of two…

Instead, the ID.3 was plagued by a range of small, niggling issues in areas that were previously taken for granted. We’d banged on for decades about how build quality and ergonomics were VW staples, but both were oddly absent. To its credit, Volkswagen…
The hybrid model only offers marginally better fuel economy than the Boosterjet version, so unless you need the former’s automatic gearbox (although we’d recommend avoiding Suzuki’s one completely), the manual offers a better driving experience. Suzuki owners are a loyal bunch, and while the company sells in relatively low volumes in the UK, there are enough fans of the marque out there to sing its praises. The 2024 Driver Power survey saw the company finish 19th out of 32 marques, beating some much bigger names in the process. The Vitara comes with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty. However, Suzuki also offers a…
VerdictBy most metrics, the Ineos Grenadier isn’t a great car, but it’s one that gets under your skin. Much like the Land Rover Defender that inspired it, the quirks and foibles were frustrating at times, but there’s enough character about the 4×4 that I found it easy to forgive. Considering Ineos’s aim with it, I’d say that’s mission accomplished. Advertisement – Article continues belowMileage: 13,023 Efficiency: 22.1mpg We’ve explored the Ineos Grenadier’s off-road potential, and it left us wondering – if you ventured as far off the beaten track as possible, how could this 4×4 support you? Fortunately, Ineos provides…
However, Skoda has not performed so well over the past few years in the manufacturers’ category of our Driver Power survey. It finished 12th overall in 2021, but dropped to 20th place out of 29 brands in 2022. In our latest 2024 survey, the brand fell further to 23rd place out of 30 manufacturers. We hope with the improvements in the brand’s infotainment system, this is a trend that can be reversed next time around. The Enyaq Coupe shares the regular SUV’s five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, as well as its 94 and 89 per cent scores for adult and…
A worthy mention is also the excellent optional head-up display that’s part of an optional Driver Assistance Package, which bundles in a 360-degree camera and a few other active driver assist elements. Ford hasn’t compromised too heavily for the sake of practicality with CapriThe Coupe SUV no longer needs to be a great compromise, so Ford says, and has rightly proven with Capri. There’s little to no compromise on space in the back or boot compared with a Ford Explorer, the exception being the boot shape. There’s plenty of space in the second row, as the sloping roofline does little…
