Honda ZR-V

WE MUST KICK OFF THIS MONTH'S UPDATE WITH A SMALL ROUND OF applause for the Honda ZR-V. You see, it has slipped into daily life with consummate ease here at TG. It's simply an extremely easy car to live with. The powertrain may sound complex with its twin electric motors, petrol powered motor generator and Honda's 'Linear Shift Control', but from the driver's seat there isn't any real sense of the engineering that's going on underneath. And that's a compliment, honest. The ZR-V is quiet, reasonably refined and actually much more comfortable than I gave it credit for when I first drove this car on the launch in Spain.

Jeep Avenger

AS ANY GOOD WILL TELL YOU, IT'S ALWAYS WORTH getting a second opinion.

BMW M2

HAVE I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE? SHOULD I DEACTIVATE ALL MY SOCIAL media profiles, claim I was hacked and enter a witness protection scheme? Feels like it. We asked BMW if we could replace our retiring i4 saloon with the baby M car. The M2. The last manual M car. And guess what? We've gone for the automatic.

CITROEN C-MÉTISSE, 2006

They say that the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over but expecting the same result. Like French carmakers and their luxury barges. They just seem to keep on coming, and nobody seems to keep on buying them.
