Audi A3 e-tron

There is no doubt that the Audi A3 is a splendid car, in any form: the 3 door hatch, the 5 door Sportback and the wonderful Cabriolet, it is one of those cars that most people cannot fail to like. But recently another model has been added; or rather some new technology has been added to the A3 in the form of the e-tron, although it is only available in the Sportback. The e-tron is fairly easy to...

Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible

We have driven the Bentley Continental Convertible before, near the factory in Crewe, south of Munich, and up in the Highlands above Glasgow, and every time we thought what a pleasure it was to drive. But how would we get on with it for a week driving on the familiar roads closer to home? The Bentley Continental GT has been on the market now for some 12 years as a Coupe and approaching 10 years...

Mercedes Benz C 220 BlueTEC AMG Line

S Class looks and specification for C Class prices? It is a while since we have driven a Mercedes Benz C Class, the last one being the previous model, and while it carried the three pointed star on the bonnet, it did not have the quality feel of the three pointed star throughout the car. It was a touch disappointing and not what we have grown to expect from this premium German manufacturer, so is...

Audi TT Roadster

Has removing the roof removed any of the TT's driver appeal? The TT Roadster comes not long after the launch of the TT Coupe.
