No folding of seats required to get a tumble dryer in a Smart #5, just the removal of the parcel shelf.

My four-year old boy is currently pestering me to find him a Hot Wheels Beast of Turin. Lowkey proud right now.

A brief go in the new Prelude revealed it's devilishly efficient when you're driving sensibly, and good fun when you're not. Shame it auto upshifts in 'manual' mode although blippy downshifts are a delight.

When Skoda makes such a big fuss of the Fabia 130's new ESC Sport mode, it'd be rude not to test it....

If you're under the impression that I'll always look for an excuse to drive something old, you'd be absolutely right. Toyota UK's mint W30 MR2 proved to be better than expected.

Want to know what the new Cupra Formentor VZ5 and Alpine A390 are like on UK roads? Head on over to the CAR magazine website to find out which is the pleasant surprise, and which is the slight disappointment.

Important consumer advice! You can fit an 1930s cinema chair in a BMW M3's boot with ease. No need to thank me.

Much excitement as I spotted a new Lancia Ypsilon today. Velour upholstery is yummy, but the leather plate sticking out of the dash is a bit odd. Bonus K11 Micra, too.

Very grateful to
@keith-adams.bsky.social
for chucking me the key to this today. The sound of it coming on cam at 6.5k is still in my head, and the chassis is even more engaging than I remember. Better secondary ride than the Continental GT, too.

You can easily fit a full Tesco meal deal in the door pocket of a Continental GT. Azure PHEV is fast enough to make the Speed feel pointless.

I spent a few hours in the RML GT Hypercar development prototype the other week. 907bhp really shouldn't feel this approachable. Review live on CAR now.

I've got an Omoda 9 this week. If the suspension was as polished as the hybrid system, it'd be a real contender.
