In the admittedly relatively short history of The Intercooler, we have awarded a full 10/10 rating to just one car. It’s because we judge cars a little differently to everyone else, who will usually give their highest possible rating to a car that is certainly best in its class, but likely also to be exceptionally good at the job it was designed to do. We don’t: for us nothing less than a car that should change the game for all is enough to warrant all the stars.

For Alpine, this new A390 is the one that really counts. The A110 upon whose slim shoulders it stands dies next year so forget that.

Your browser does not support the audio element. This will be heretical to those who love them, but I often wonder how much better the Mazda RX-8 would’ve been without its quirky rotary engine. I know, I’m really asking for it… And to be fair, there are many wonderful things about rotary engines, like screaming redlines, eerily smooth power delivery, compact size, lightness and so on.

More than half of motorists back the idea of courts forcing those convicted of drink-driving to have mandatory alcolocks fitted to their car, a survey has found. 53% think the government should use an upcoming road safety strategy to allow courts to insist on alcolocks to help prevent them reoffending. Alcolocks, or alcohol interlocks, prevent a vehicle from being started if any alcohol is detected in an offender’s breath.
