Ford Puma Gen-E review

1 week ago | automotiveblog.co.uk | Gareth Herincx

First chance to get behind the wheel of the new Ford Puma Gen-E – the electric version of the UK’s best-selling car of 2023 and 2024How time flies. Five years ago, I attended the press launch of the original (petrol) Ford Puma in sunny Spain. I remember it well. Not only was the sporty compact SUV impressive, but it was the last major new car event before the first lockdown. It’s a mark of the success of the Ford Puma that it’s now become one of the most familiar cars on the road.

Citroen e-C3 review

3 weeks ago | automotiveblog.co.uk | Gareth Herincx

We get behind the wheel of the Citroen e-C3 – one of the most affordable electric cars on the market…There are many reasons why EVs are not selling as well as had been hoped, including the lack of incentives, patchy public charging infrastructure and range anxiety. But for many drivers, it’s the upfront cost – which is why cars like the all-new Citroen e-C3 are so important. Starting at £21,990, it’s about the same price as an equivalent, well-equipped, small petrol hatchback.
Hyundai Santa Fe review

We get behind the wheel of the acclaimed Hyundai Santa Fe – a large seven-seat SUV with serious kerb appeal…It’s no wonder the fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe has already won so many trophies, including the Large Crossover of the Year category title at the prestigious UK Car of the Year Awards. Boldly-styled, comfortable and remarkably practical, it’s even likely to tempt buyers away from large family SUVs offered by premium brands including Land Rover, Audi and BMW.

Almost six in 10 drivers say they are hit with surprise repair costs for their car every year, typically forking out £617. More than a third (37%) of those facing these repairs said they experienced financial difficulty in paying for them.
