That’s entertainment – 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance review
The Tesla Model Y is a modern, maybe even futuristic looking five (or 7 as an option?) seat SUV that has the ability to keep you enthralled and entertained. It’s loaded with features that keep both the driver and passengers alike thrilled and connected, and that’s even before you leave your driveway! I wish to […]
Sweet Dream-Z – Honda ZR-V first drive
We all have dreams, from playing football for England to owning a beachside bar in Key West (maybe that’s just mine), but to most of us, that’s where they remain – just dreams. Not so for Honda motors founder Soichiro Honda. Not only was Siochiro a man with BIG dreams but his visions ultimately became […]
Defender 130 V8 first drive
Not only is there a new, larger addition to the Defender range, namely the 8-seater 130 but there’s also one with a V8 heart, and guess what, we got to drive the prototype in Dubai. Topping off what had already been an epic two day adventure playing in the vast and expansive sand pits that […]
Guilt-free decadence – BMW i7 xDrive60 review
The BMW 7-Series has essentially been the German premium automaker’s benchmark luxury nameplate from the moment it first rolled off the production line in ‘77. It’s often been the model that showcases the latest in technology and innovation, is the ultimate in comfort and above all, simply oozes upmarket desirability. So how do you improve […]
Simply Cl-EV-er – Skoda Enyaq iV 80 review
Following on from the success of their iV plug-ins, Czech-originated car brand Skoda has crossed the great divide into all-electric propulsion with their all-new Enyaq, and what a way to start. Sure it sits at the head of their range in terms of premium pricing but it also ‘clEVerly’ showcases the brand’s move to a […]
Uncomplicated yet Handy Hybrid – Toyota Corolla GX Hybrid Wagon review
The Corolla has been a stalwart of the Toyota family virtually from the moment they pushed go on the production line in 1966. It was the best-selling car in the world by 1974 and has remained there or thereabouts in the top spot throughout its 12 generations. Now, with the latest iteration, Toyota NZ have […]
Face-leafted – 2023 Nissan Leaf review
It was a mere decade or so ago (12-years in fact) when the all-electric Nissan Leaf first began production and it’s fair to say that with global sales exceeding 600,000 units, it’s been popular. In 2017, it was given a whole new look (and arguably a gen 2 moniker) and this year it’s been spruced […]
Simply Zee best – All-new Nissan Z review
The Nissan Z started out life as a 6-cylinder, 2-seater sports coupe way back in the ‘70s. Six generations and half a century later there’s a new Z in town, and although it may have dropped its numerology, I’m happy to say that it’s still a 6-cylinder, 2-seater sports coupe – and we got to […]
Terrific Toybox – Toyota GR Supra Manual review
It’s fair to say that we’re all pretty impressed with the new GR Supra. It’s got the looks, the power and even the tech to keep us all entertained, but not a manual gearbox, that is until now. Yes my friends, the new ‘beemerfied’ Toyota GR Supra now comes with a 6-speed manual transmission and […]
Land Rover’s new 8-seater Defender 130 is out‘SAND’ing
The launch of the new Land Rover 130 essentially completes the new family line up for the Defender nameplate, and where best to test out this big 8-seater’s off-road capabilities than the ultra-challenging sand dunes of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Land Rover says that globally, their new Defender has already proven to be very popular […]
