First Driving Impressions – VW Beetle Cabriolet
In late February you really have to go south to stand any chance of getting weather decent enough to drive a new convertible with the roof down. VW very wisely chose the South of France for the International launch of the latest version of the Beetle Cabriolet.

First Driving Impressions – Mercedes-Benz CLA
It is a fact of life that lower medium saloons are not popular in the UK. For some reason we seem to prefer tailgates to boot lids on such cars and as a result virtually every mainstream manufacturer has dropped the saloon variant from their C sector range.

Third Driving Impressions – Vauxhall Adam
This is the third time we have driven the Adam, but this is the first time with Vauxhall badges on. The first time was an early pre-production car that was camouflaged near GM HQ in Frankfurt, the second was on the International Press launch near Lisbon, and now a right-hand drive in Stratford, London.

Second Driving Impressions – Volkswagen Golf MK 7
I previously drove the all-new Golf last October in a very warm and sunny Sardinia. This time we drove the right-hand drive UK model on British roads, on a cold and wet day.
