Volkswagen Atlas Buying Guide

10 Facelifts That Worked Brilliantly
Sometimes a car is released and the world goes "oooooooh". But other times, the world goes "OH DEAR LORD WHAT IS THAT?".
Estarli e20.8 Play Pro review
What would happen if a folding electric bike had dreams of becoming a BMX? It would probably end up looking something like the Estarli e20.8 Play, £1,850.99. This version of Estarli’s well-regarded folding e-bike has more of a rough n’ tough vibe with chunkier tyres to give you a bit of off-road capability while still being a lightweight, practical e-folder. But does this unusual combination work in the real world? We’ve put one through its paces to find out.

The Ineos Grenadier Is Great. Or Rubbish. You Decide
I want to talk about the Suzuki Jimny. Bear with me here, because it’s relevant. The Suzuki Jimny, in case you don’t know, is a small off-roader. It is, objectively, pretty rubbish on the road – it’s loud, the ride quality is terrible, it’s fairly uncomfortable, there’s not much space in it and the steering is almost entirely devoid of feel. In fact, it’s so bad that it’s sort of fun, in a very old-school way.
Torque sensor vs cadence sensor: which is best for my electric bike?
If you’re looking at buying an electric bike, you’ll no doubt have been bombarded with technical information about different aspects of different bikes. Some terms will be familiar if you ride traditional bikes, but others are specific to e-bikes, and many focus on the all-important electric power source.
Against The Odds, Was The Las Vegas F1 GP The Best Race Of The Season?
It seemed like everyone and their dog was lining up to bash the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Part of a revitalised push by Formula 1 to establish a firm foothold in the United States, the Entertainment Capital of the World(™) hosted the country’s third race of the year. And even by American standards, it was gearing up to be bigger and brasher than anything we’d seen.
Organised not by a local promoter but by F1’s owners themselves, Liberty Media, the Las Vegas Grand Prix event was on a whole new scale

F1 Vs IndyCar: The Differences Explained
At first glance, IndyCar and Formula 1 cars might look broadly similar. But while both series use open-wheel race cars, the contrast between them are many and varied. With that in mind, we thought we’d take a look at some of the key differences between two of the biggest and best-known single-seater championships in the world.
Chinese Cars Are Good Now And We All Need To Get Used To It
A drive in the BYD Atto 3 shows that we mock Chinese brands at our peril - they really are making great cars now
When I was a kid – many, many years ago – Skoda jokes were a staple of playground banter. “Why do Skodas have heated rear windscreens? To keep your hands warm while pushing it.” “What do you call a Skoda with a sunroof? A skip.” To say you owned a Skoda was to invite unending ridicule, even when the Czech manufacturer started making much improved cars under the stewardship of the Vol

Road testing the Ineos Grenadier 4x4 prototype: what to expect ahead of 2022 launch
Nobody can accuse Ineos of dodging a challenge. Many scoffed when a company with no motoring background announced plans to build a replacement for the classic Land Rover Defender – a car set to launch in October 2022 in the Middle East, where customers love off-road favourites such as the Defender, Nissan Patrol, Toyota Land Cruiser and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.
How to make a luxury SUV into a proper driver’s car
When we catch up with Matt Becker, he’s at Silverstone, waiting to race an Aston Martin Vantage GT4. In the pouring rain.
If we didn’t already know it, this confirms that the former chief test and development engineer at Lotus knows what makes a car fast, and what makes a car feel fast. And that’s good to know, as today he’s the chief engineer at Aston Martin, and the man responsible for making the company’s SUV, the DBX, feel like a proper sports car.

What’s The Best Electric Car?
For the eco-conscious consumer, avoiding car ownership is to be applauded. But for many, it’s simply not practical. Thankfully, the electric vehicle (EV) market is growing fast, which means it’s increasingly possible to minimise your carbon footprint while still having the convenience and practicality of a car.
I'm a dad now so I've got a big fast Skoda
Sure, the Skoda Superb is practical, but this one's got 272 horsepower and 19-inch wheels, so I'm pretty sure that means I'm still cool.

That time Abba’s drummer scored a point in a Formula 1 race
At the 1981 British Grand Prix, McLaren driver John Watson scored a memorable win in front of his home crowd at Silverstone.
It was the Northern Irish racer’s first win in five years, and only his second ever win in Formula 1. It was also the first ever win for McLaren’s groundbreaking MP4/1, the first car with a carbon fibre monocoque – an engineering template that continues in F1 today.
But further down the grid, another driver had also hit the peak of his career. His name was Slim Borgudd.

How Caffeine & Machine became an overnight petrolhead phenomenon
With a couple of weeks to go before Caffeine & Machine (C&M) first opened its doors, founder Phil McGovern was worried. Having spent months renovating an old pub and B&B in rural England, sinking in thousands of pounds of his own money, and dreaming of a hangout for every kind of petrolhead tribe, he was suddenly having doubts. “Do you think people will come?” he asked, as the finishing touches were being put to the bar.
What we discovered from our first ride in the Ford Mustang Mach-E
Has there been a car in recent years that’s provoked as much controversy as the Ford Mustang Mach-E? It’s not even been launched yet and already the internet is full of people howling with anguish that Ford has appropriated the holy Mustang name. For an electric SUV.
Keen to turn people on to the Mustang Mach-E, and educate them about electric motoring in general, Ford has set up a Go Electric display for the public in Marble Arch, central London. And they also brought a prototype of the new Ma

2019 Ford Focus ST first drive review - YouTube
Ford’s reasonably-price hot hatch returns in all-new form, with an engine from the Mustang. After we were all wowed by the Focus RS, can the humble ST still impress? And does it have what it takes to beat rivals like the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Hyundai i30N, Honda Civic Type R and more? We went to France to find out.
2019 Toyota Supra first drive review - YouTube
The new Toyota Supra is here, and it’s got a heck of a lot of heritage to live up to. We went to Spain to drive it for the first time and see whether it’s got what it takes to beat sports cars like Porsche’s Cayman and Alpine’s A110.
