2019 Ford Ecosport Summary

We live in a strange time, where cars are going the way of the dinosaur and SUVs will take their place as the primary offerings of the worlds oldest and biggest car companies.

Look at Ford, the brand that literally wrote the book on automotive mass-production will soon no longer sell cars in its home market of America (apart from the Mustang, of course…) There’s a story your grandpa won’t believe.

It makes SUVs, especially small ones like the EcoSport all the more important. Customers who once would have considered the Fiesta small hatch (on which the EcoSport is based) would now rather hop into one of these. At least, that’s what the data says.

So, is the EcoSport a worthy successor to the hatchback mantle? Is it even economical or sporty? And what happened to the spare wheel on the rear door? Read on to find out.

2025 Nissan Qashqai Summary

The Nissan Qashqai has had a mid-life facelift which sees the line-up reshuffled, some new technology fitted to the lower grades and a new flagship variant, the N-Design e-Power.

The new top-grade hybrid is being put through its paces this week with my family of three to see if it ticks the boxes when it comes to efficiency and practicality.
