No matter how careful you are, spills will happen and your car’s fabrics are going to suffer. A wet vac or steam clean is the best solution, but it’s not always practical. Instead, many people will reach for an upholstery cleaner. To find the best, we divided up a grubby carpet floor mat and a section of an old car seat that were individually marked with lipstick, chocolate and coffee. The cleaners were applied according to the instructions, using any supplied brush or cloth, or a fresh microfibre for each product. The results were rated, along with a score for…
It doesn’t have any of the purple ‘bleeding’ reactants, but still cleared the grime effectively from our plastic wheel cover. It did struggle with cleaning the heavily soiled alloy, however. Ultracare’s low price means we’d be tempted to just keep a bottle for the occasional top-up clean on wheels that aren’t too dirty.

The first was that it did an exceptional job of cleaning our tough brake dust deposits, matching the Duel and challenging our champ…
Buying a supercar is never a casual purchase. Whether it’s a Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, or Porsche, timing can make a substantial difference in the deal you get. While exotic cars rarely fall into the “bargain” category, understanding seasonal market trends can help you save thousands, find better inventory, and even negotiate more favorable terms. Here’s a breakdown of the best times of year to buy a supercar—and why timing matters. Winter Months: Best for Deals If you’re looking strictly for value, winter, particularly January and February, is often the best time to buy a supercar. Demand is at its lowest,…
Fold the rear seats down, and you’re left with 1,081 litres of space to play with, just slightly less than the 1,118 litres in the regular Corsa. The Vauxhall Corsa Electric can’t match rivals for safety; Driver Power score is disappointingWhile the Corsa Electric didn’t feature in the most recent 2024 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, the Vauxhall brand came in a worrying 26th place out of 32 manufacturers – two places lower than the previous 2023 result. Owners liked the low running costs, but didn’t have a lot to say about other areas. That’s a shame because sibling Peugeot came…
The Pininfarina B95 isn’t just another entry into the electric hypercar space—it’s a radical reinterpretation of what a modern performance machine can be. Unveiled as part of the brand’s 95th anniversary celebration, the B95 is a limited-production, open-top electric hypercar that blends Pininfarina’s timeless design language with cutting-edge EV performance. With only 10 examples planned, each tailored to its owner, exclusivity is guaranteed—but so is innovation. Design and Innovation Inspired by classic barchetta racers of the past, the B95 reimagines the open-air driving experience with a completely roofless and windshield-free design. Instead of a conventional windscreen, it features adjustable aero…

It’s proving to be a great idea that can be used to separate stuff in the boot and stop it from rolling around. As a photographer I carry lots of water and car cleaning materials, and it’s a real bonus to stop these from moving in the boot.

Auto and personal loans are popular tools for financing major purchases and life milestones. At the start, the repayment plan is designed to match your current needs—a manageable term, an affordable monthly payment, and a structure that fits your budget. But as life evolves, so can your financial priorities. A new job, a move, starting a family, or pursuing fresh goals may shift what you need from your loan. What once fit perfectly might no longer work. When that happens, adjusting your repayment plan can provide relief. While both auto and personal loans offer flexibility, the options available can vary…
Those are all competitive numbers, but if you need even more capacity, you’ll be better off with either an Octavia Estate or Golf Estate in 2.0 TDI 150 DSG auto form, because both can lug around a 1,600kg trailer or caravan. The Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer has a disappointing four-star Euro NCAP rating; the brand needs to do more to impress ownersVauxhall has equipped all Astra Sports Tourer models with lane departure warning and lane-keep assist, speed sign recognition, a driver drowsiness alert, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous emergency braking (AEB). Mid-range GS trim along with a more advanced collision alert…
All of the cars on test featured a Bang & Olufsen sound system, which sounded great. True audiophiles will note that ultra high-end systems available in rivals do have a little more grunt, but these are minimal differences and often cost a whole bunch more as a standalone optional extra. There’s huge amounts of room in the boot, but the rear seats aren’t quite as cavernous as some rivalsThis is an Avant, so you’d think the boot means everything, but this isn’t quite the case with the new A6. Audi has confessed that the rise of SUVs means that families…
VerdictThe big blue Alfa is not without its faults, but the more time I spend with it, and the more I hone its set-up by playing with the drive modes and tyre pressures, the deeper my affection for it grows. I can’t get enough of it. Mileage: 13,895 Efficiency: 22.1mpg Advertisement – Article continues belowTyre pressures. In Formula One they mean everything, but for mere road cars, they don’t matter that much, do they? It depends. In an average family runabout, or a big heavy SUV, you’d be hard pushed to tell the difference between 30 and 40psi. But in a…
