It’s always interesting reading other peoples reviews of a car that you’ve just driven, sometimes I’m like, ‘Yeah, I agree with that.’ Other times I’m gawping in dismay at what appears pure ignorance, and with the Wrangler it was certainly the latter as one reviewer actually called it a pointless vehicle and only gave it 3/10.  Now, being a long ...

I always remember glancing at X-Trails of old and thinking that they looked a bit odd, a bit awkward looking, and in my opinion not very pretty.

This particular G350 TEC BlueTec costs £83,830, then there’s the £22,320 worth of extras bringing the total up to an eye watering £106,150. For the 2013 model year, the G-Class underwent some significant changes, of course mainly on the ...

Only a G-Class can better a G-Class. This is the credo followed by the developers with the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6, and they are now stepping up a gear with the G 500 4×4². The basic recipe for this overcomer of everything is simple: take the superior all-wheel-drive powertrain including portal axles from the 6×6 – take away one ...
