Feeling the burn: The Kia Soul Burner
Ever since I first saw a Kia Soul trundling down the road, purporting to be just ‘a car,’ with a normal looking person at the wheel, I was enamoured. It’s a fantastic looking thing. God knows where the stylist got his ideas, but wherever it is, I want to visit. Problem with making such good ...
Mazda2 Sport: A big bag of Pick ‘n’ Mix
In the UK we are fortunate that we have a lot of small, economic and fun cars on sale. When teenagers pass their driving test there are all kinds of small cars to choose from, so many in fact it is like being a kid in a sweet shop. You can go for the retro ...
Peugeot 308cc: It’s for girls…
Recently I had a Peugeot 308cc for a week. I could go into detail about how it drives, how it’s not very dynamic or fun, but is very relaxing and easy. I could tell you that it’s not very fast from a standstill, but that it has sufficient torque when on the move. But you ...
Honda CR-Z: The schizophrenic sporty hybrid
The Honda CR-Z is a small car, but it could make quite a big impact on the way people buy cars. It is a car which Honda describes as a “sporty hybrid coupe,” but it could be more than that. It could be a trend-setter and a catalyst for breaking down stereotypes. Being powered by ...
On the road: Kia Venga
After the scrappage scheme smaller car manufactures who relished in the delights of the government funding are coming forward with stronger products. Kia is starting to dabble in unfamiliar territory with their new found confidence and the Kia Venga is proof of this. The Venga – no relation to the 90s Eurodance pop group – ...
Road Test: Volvo C30 DRIVe
I don’t know about this global warming stuff. It might well all be natural and outside of our control, but then again, it could all be our fault. However, no matter what camp you’re in, you’ll be paying the price, whether at the pumps or with your road tax. With fuel hiking up in price ...
Honda CR-Z: Pocket rocket evolution
The terms hybrid and performance have largely been mutually exclusive within the last few years of car manufacturing. Honda’s new CR-Z hybrid sports coupe has gone some way to change that perception. The new 2+2 coupe gives people who care about emissions, just as much as the experience of driving, a new option. For £17,000, ...
Can you kickflip a Qashqai+2?
A few weeks ago Motormorph had the opportunity to test Nissan’s Qashqai+2. Initially perplexed by the thought of a family car as we have parenting experience on par with Jade Goody, I stuck to what I knew and played around with the tech inside the car. Below is a quick POV (Point Of View) video ...
Morgan 4/4 blasting around Millbrook
The Morgan Motor Company is one of the last bastions in the British motor car manufacturing game. At Morgan they are true Brits, they build cars in a shed, eat sausages and use seemingly archaic materials such as wood to make fantastic sports cars. The Morgan 4/4 is the Grandad of the pack being a motoring ...
Kia Picanto: The rise of the Korean foot soldier
Kia and Korean cars in general have always had stigma placed upon them due to their rapid invasion into the mass automotive market. The stereotype tends to be that they are cheap cars purely designed to undercut other car manufacturers – the loss leader. But as Hyundai-Kia Automotive’s latest sales figures place the Korean automaker ...
