But the biggest shame for UK buyers is that the diff is at its absolute best on an RS 3 fitted with Pirelli Trofeo R tyres. These are an option in other markets, but not offered here. If you plan on ever taking your RS 3 on track, I’d hunt a set out, because it makes the whole package gel perfectly. Along with the technical changes, the RS 3’s cosmetics got a glow-up in 2024. It’s possible to tell it apart from earlier cars by its flatter, wider front grille, more extravagant side intakes, a straighter front splitter, and revised…

My life has transformed since that fast and furious Christmas of 2015; with a young daughter in tow, I’ve now got my reservations about whether or not the Golf will be big enough for our needs – a big ask, following on from a BMW 5 Series Touring.

Actual safety ratings, such as the Euro NCAP, have yet to be done given the car’s recent addition to the model range, but the closely related Volkswagen Tiguan has already been given a full five-star rating – we expect the new Q3 will be no different. In terms of reliability, the Q3’s well-proven range of engines have generally been rated well, but there is always an associated level of complexity when elements like dual-clutch transmissions and turbocharging are involved.

Buy now from Amazon Angelwax Excelsior Soft-Top CleanerAngelwax’s Excelsior Soft-Top Cleaner offers great value for money and smells good. We found it to be an effective cleaner, albeit one that required a little more effort than our top three choices in this test. There was no faulting the end result, though, while its ultra-violet-protecting qualities should help to preserve the colour of your convertible’s roof from fading as a result of sunshine, as well. We did find it quite greasy, though. It’s an effective option if you’re on a budget, however, and is simple to use. Buy now from Amazon…
All generations of Aygo have been able to traverse high-speed motorways without too much drama in the past, but none have done it with anywhere near as much ease as the latest hybrid model. One area the Aygo doesn’t quite match larger superminis is refinement, as the lightweight body doesn’t quite have the same level of insulation from road noise as more sophisticated superminis but it’s competitive for a city car. “The new Aygo’s performance is actually rather startling – not that it feels overpowered, rather completely effortless in a way no Aygo, and few city cars ever have.” – Jordan Katsianis,…
When a name carries the weight of history, expectation is inevitable. For Ferrari, the “Speciale” badge has always signified something extra: a sharper chassis, lighter weight, stronger performance—and, above all, a driving experience that stirs the soul. The new Ferrari 296 Speciale delivers all of that and then some. Legacy: Why “Speciale” Matters The “Speciale” moniker is reserved for Ferrari models that push harder than the everyday car—think aggressive aerodynamics, race-bred hardware, and a focus on driving purity. With the 296 Speciale, Ferrari has taken its mid-engine hybrid platform and refined it for the enthusiast who wants more than just…
And the results are all positive. The latest Performance is the most sophisticated Model Y yet in the chassis department; body roll is well contained through the corners, with just enough to make the driver aware of what’s going on in the sweetly-balanced chassis. Grip is excellent and while the stability control system can be a little restrictive, a new ‘Reduced’ mode allows for a little more slip. This means that if you get greedy with the throttle at the exit of a corner, that 454bhp is not averse to pushing the car from its rear axle – even in…
They’ll more likely be cooing over the quality of the interior. The finish is first-rate; the S uses more Alcantara than previous models to go along with its more driver-focused theme, although a full leather seat option can still be chosen if customers prefer. The front seats are superb, with a driving position that feels more like a jacked-up Vantage than a traditional SUV, yet there’s still a great view out. By modern standards, the touchscreen seems refreshingly modest, too, while the centre console is festooned with physical buttons that, with a little acclimatisation, can be found by feel. For…

Then there’s the dual-clutch gearbox, which is one of the very best of its type we’ve tried. In terms of its responsiveness when pressing on and the smoothness when shuffling around at low speeds, it feels not far off the sophistication of a Ferrari 296’s ’box, which is the slickest dual-clutch system we’ve experienced. Even the carbon brakes – often a set-up that can seem grabby and short of feedback – felt great here. The pedal is firm and reassuring, and delivers superb stopping power. We’d need to sample the E-Ray on faster, more challenging roads or a racetrack to…
