Whatâs the best-sounding engine? Kitch reckons a soaring V10, or a thrummy five-pot. Scrofâs a sucker for an old-school V8. What do you think?

Slightly odd question, but does anyone have access to a Zafira Tourer, like this?

This weekâs episode comes to you from this rather lovely Volvo V60. Kitch judged it ânot badâ - praise indeed - and said it was the first new car Scrofâs brought in that he could see himself owning. (Scrof quite likes it too.) But was Volvo right to reincarnate its estates?

This week weâre in a Volkswagen ID.Buzz; this one, to be precise. Kitch hates the colour scheme, deeming it to be too try-hard. Scrof, however, thinks it adds a welcome dash of colour to our roads. Whoâs right? (Comment below!)

Tuned in to this whilst working today. It was very good. Almost exactly what I expected (Scroff being knowledgeable, Kitch veering to Citroen every 10s and visibly horrified by the notion of a turbo EV). But it was also much better than a first episode has a right to be. An excellent start.
