Subaru Forester 2.0D XC
The Subaru Forster 2.0D XC proves as practical as ever, but it’s the return of the favourite rural hue that gets Charlie Flindt’s pulse racing. For a Subaru less suited to the odd foray into a muddy field but certainly great fun in the corners, read Charlie Flindt’s review of…
Jeep Cherokee. Less rugged but still plucky
The new Jeep Cherokee has a stylishly European interior, but Charlie Flindt finds it less rugged and has a few suggestions to improve what it was originally great at, off-roading. We love to champion the Land Rover, but we would be without it if it weren’t for the Jeep. Find…

Subaru Levorg GT. A bit of Subaru fun
The Subaru Levorg GT is the latest road-going estate, not designed for the odd foray into a muddy field or for going fast, but Charlie Flindt finds it a fun drive nonetheless. For something that certainly can tackle the odd muddy field, read Charlie Flindt’s review of the Dacia Duster…
Dacia Duster Commercial
The Dacia Duster Commercial could fill the hole in the market left by Land Rover Defenders. It may feel a bit inexpensive but as a basic, medium-sized, off-roading van, Charlie Flindt finds himself really rather pleased with it. The last Defender may have rolled off the production line but all…
Kingsley Cars’ Range Rovers
Kingsley Cars’ Range Rovers may have been saved from the skip, but you would never guess on the open road. The joys of the Mk1 Range Rover don’t come easily for the team at Kingsley Cars, but no job is too big for them. From runners who just require a…
