Automobile Almost nothing fails on a long drive without warning. The tyre, the battery, the perished hose were all saying something three weeks earlier, on a twenty-minute commute where it did not matter enough to bother. A pre-trip check is mostly a way of listening...

Automobile There is no shortage of fuel-saving advice, and most of it is repeated without anyone ever putting a number next to it. So we went the other way round: start from the figures the US Department of Energy publishes on fueleconomy.gov, rank the eight tips by...

Automobile Nobody actually chooses between electric and hybrid in the abstract. They choose between the car that suits their driveway, their commute and their two long trips a year, and the one that does not. So rather than listing the merits of each technology and...

Golf carts have evolved far beyond their original purpose. Once limited to transporting players across fairways, they are now widely used in hospitality, tourism, logistics, private estates, industrial campuses, and urban environments. As their role expands, so does...

Most app round-ups written for car owners age badly, because the apps themselves keep moving. Google has already switched off Android Auto for phone screens, and the voice assistant inside Android Auto is changing again in March 2026. So rather than list whatever is...

Automobile A budget EV guide has a shelf life of about eighteen months, and this one hit its limit. The federal purchase incentive that propped up half the maths in the United States is gone, one car on the original shortlist has not been sold new for years, and the...

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in how we approach road safety. While traditional methods like speed bumps and surveillance cameras continue to play their role, a new player has entered the game: radar speed signs. These dynamic, interactive devices...

Automobile Six months into living with a Tesla Model 3, the odd thing is that the car we bought no longer exists under that name. Tesla reshuffled the trims for 2026, so what we call the Long Range is now sold as the Premium, and a cheaper Standard sits underneath it....

Automobile Calling anything the future of SUVs is the kind of line that ages badly, so let us test it properly. The Ford Mustang Mach-E has now been on sale long enough to stop being a statement and start being a used car with a service history, which is exactly when...

Automobile A family SUV that is good on the school run and a family SUV that is good at hour six of a motorway slog are not always the same vehicle. The second one needs things the brochures bury: a third row an adult can actually sit in, charging ports where the...

Automobile Every comparison of the Tesla Model 3 and the BMW i4 we have read treats them as rivals sitting on adjacent forecourts. Look at the 2026 window stickers and that framing collapses. There is roughly a $16,500 gap between the versions people actually...

Automobile I still have the figures Tesla put on the screen when the Cybertruck was unveiled in November 2019 saved in a note: 39,900 dollars, 500 miles of range, 14,000 pounds of towing. Almost none of them made it into production, and yet they are still the numbers...

Golf carts have become an indispensable part of the golfing experience, providing convenience and ease of movement across the vast greens. Central to their operation is the power source: the battery. With advancements in technology, the debate between using lead-acid...

Car auctions are the scene of a buying frenzy that catches the wealthiest enthusiasts. Collector cars are sold at exorbitant prices. The proof is in this list that reveals the records of recent years. Auction: definition The concept is very simple: awarding a lot that...

Automobile Falcon-wing doors opening upward on a hotel forecourt is a good arrival, and plenty of people have gone looking for a way to book one deliberately. The honest answer has not changed since the Tesla Model X first appeared on ride-hailing apps: you cannot...

Automobile I still have the notes I took walking the halls at Porte de Versailles in October 2014, and reading them back is a strange experience. Ten cars I thought were the story of the show. Twelve years later, half of them are not built any more, one of them never...

Automobile Several readers have asked me to write about the French Riviera, and I put it off for a while because everyone writes about the French Riviera. Then my wife and I went for our anniversary, and I realised the thing nobody covers is the part I actually know...
