Once in a while, a car comes on to the market that shifts the whole paradigm of what it takes to tick all the boxes when choosing your next car.
Some major motoring review sites have a lot to say about the Hyundai i30.
“There’s a lot to recommend the Hyundai i30. It provides an extremely tempting mix of talents, and all for an affordable price. It’s worthy of serious consideration.”
Whatcar.com
“With the quality of a VW Golf, lively performance with low emissions and running costs the i30 is a serious contender in the small family car market”
Carbag.co.uk
“The i30 has bridged the gap to the likes of the VW Golf in terms of quality, performance and running costs – a genuinely impressive family car.”
Carbuyer.co.uk
“Bold styling, classy cabin and decent dynamics make new Hyundai i30 a serious VW Golf rival”

The new Toyota GT86 won Top Gear magazine Car of the Year; now that’s a fair accolade to put on the shelf at a time of some truly outstanding GTs and a premier BBC motoring presenter is simply full of praise.
“…. I like the GT86 so much. Because it’s come barrelling into the bottom end of the marketplace with a big, dirty smile on its face and a suggestion in the way it stands that it would like to have fun with your middle parts. It’s a car designed for one thing: fun.”
“ …The GT86 is a lovely car to drive. The steering is without fault, the ride is sporty without being stupid, the handling is epic and there is enough oomph to ensure you aren’t last away from the lights.”
Jeremy Clarkson
It has a 200hp, 2 litre boxer engine (meaning the pistons lye on their side for a lower centre of gravity), rear wheel drive with limited slip differential, 17″ alloy wheels and a dual exhaust with chrome tailpipes.

It may be a few years since you passed your driving test and you may have been driving for several years without incident, but if you were to take your test again would you pass it?
Here is a quick quiz based on some of the driving theory questions set by the DVLA.
The imminent Fiat 500L will start at just £14,990 for the 1.4 litre Pop Star and Easy models. These two trim levels cost the same but have different additional features. Both share a very long list of excellent standard features including cruise control, Bluetooth, 5-inch touchscreen radio, electric door mirrors, six airbags and a leather gearknob & steering wheel. In addition to this standard list the new Pop Star model features alloy wheels, a body-coloured dashboard and side door mouldings. The Easy gets rear electric windows, rear parking sensors and a soft-touch dashboard. Ten we have the top-of-the-range Lounge model which adds the following equipment: a largest in-class fixed glass roof, rain sensing wipers, dusk sensing headlights, climate control, rear electric windows, rear parking sensors and 16-inch alloy wheels.
Longer than a Fiat Punto and as wide as a Fiat Bravo, the amazing new Fiat 500L, complete with 5-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, goes well above and beyond the usual expectations of a mini-MPV. It’s unmistakably a member of the Fiat 500 family but its spacious and flexible interior will appeal to young families and drivers who need the functionality of a family car but who desire the coolness and cheeky fun loving attitude which the iconic 500 city car embodies.
Fiat 500L customers will still want to show their personality and passion which is something that can be easily achieved thanks to the new car’s huge customisation possibilities. Among an extensive options list are: Fiat’s ground-breaking eco:Drive Live system, a powerful Beats by Dr Dre audio and even a Lavazza on-board coffee making machine. All versions come with the choice of body colour, white or black roof and the option of silver, white or black alloy wheels, meaning customisation opportunities are huge. A 1.5 square metre glass roof (standard on Lounge) is also available for enhanced cabin ambience and panoramic passenger visibility.
With striking contemporary styling to match its spacious looks, all versions of the new Fiat 500L feature colour coded front and rear bumpers for a more sophisticated image and a choice of 10 stunning colours including Heavy Metal Grey, Opera Red, Bashment Blue, Vocal Green and New Age Cream.
The Fiat 500L will initially be available with a choice of four economical engines which include Start&Stop as standard on TwinAir and MultiJet engines. The full engine line-up comprises the award-winning TwinAir 0.9 litre petrol (105hp), 1.4 litre petrol (95hp), 1.3 litre MultiJet diesel (85hp) with manual or MTA transmission and a 1.6 litre MultiJet diesel (105hp).

The wait is over – the all new Toyota RAV4 has broken cover and here we have all the details. The exterior styling has been given an overhaul as well as the interior which sees comfort and levels of space significantly increase. Improvements in design have increased boot space to 547 litres (with the seats in place). Loading the boot will be a breeze as the new RAV4 favours a top-hinged tailgate rather than side-hinged. This results in a much wider opening and lower lip height. Higher grade models will also benefit from a power-operated tailgate.
The exterior sees brand new styling, with the front end adopting the new Toyota ‘family’ face, already seen on the Yaris and new Auris. The side profile view clearly shows a rising belt-line which emphasises the new RAV4’s muscular quality.
Inside, there is a focus on a better driving experience. In addition to improved ergonomics, the RAV4 boasts a wealth of soft-touch materials, extra leather around the instrument panel and new cool blue illumination for all the switchgear. In the rear, the 60:40 rear seats retain their simple Easy Flat folding which provides a flat load floor in seconds. Passenger legroom is also increased as will as the installation of more comfortable seats.
Under the bonnet there will once again be a choice of two (front) or all-wheel drive, with an engine line-up that offers a 149bhp 2.0 litre petrol engine, a brand new 122bhp 2.0 litre diesel and a range topping 148bhp 2.2 litre diesel. Each engine offers improved CO2 emissions with an average of 12% improvement across the range compared with the current model.
