Car review: Renault Clio Sport Gordini - The pocket rocket
Written by Damian Murphy
Wednesday, 08 February 2012 15:07
Every time we are given a Renault Sport of any kind we struggle to write the review. Not because the car is terrible – on the contrary, it is difficult to write because there is so much good to be said and so little bad. This little dynamo is a very complete package. While the regular Clio Sport is a nippy sports hatch that is quick and nimble in and around city streets and a massive beast on the open road, The Gordini version is no different in size, but it packs a slightly bigger punch. It may be a bit of a cliché, but after our week driving the Gordini, we can see why people say dynamite comes in small packages.
Car review: Subaru Legacy - Forget the Germans

People seem to underestimate how good Subaru is. Not us! Since we were first introduced to the brand some four years ago, we have been singing the praises of the Japanese manufacturer. If you are looking for a complete driving package, chances are that Subaru has a vehicle to suit your every need. Whether you like driving off road or on, there is something for the lonesome cowboy and the family man, and we were lucky enough to be given a chance to test the latest version of the Legacy.
Car review: BMW 1 series - A seriously hot hatch

BMW pioneered the production of the luxury hatch when they first introduced the 1 Series all those years ago, and with well over a million units of the hatch sold, it was high time for a relaunch – enter the sexier and sportier new 1 Series.
The Nissan Pathfinder – a bold statement

As I’m an outspoken Nissan fan, people could think my reviews are biased. But in my defence I can admit that I’ve only become a fan of Nissan thanks to the review vehicles I’ve driven. I’ve never owned a Nissan, and after every Nissan review I do, I keep asking myself why. This is not some understated brand that hides in the background with a small following of loyal supporters. This is one of the world’s leading motor manufacturers – and I love what they do.
Lexus CT200h – blue with envy

Everybody wants this car. Well at least everybody who has seen Afropolitan driving it wants this car, and who can blame them? The carmakers at Lexus really are the leaders in true hybrid technology, and it shows in the delivery of their offerings to this market. As they explained to me, their hybrid cars work on a similar premise as a tandem bicycle. The petrol engine drives the car, and when extra power is needed, the electric motor kicks in to boost the performance. When you’re cruising along, the two work together to give you a really efficient, smooth and quiet drive. There are even some instances where the electric motor controls all the power and the car can move along in nearly complete silence.
