IF you’ve ever looked at the Mazda2 Hybrid and thought, “Hang on a minute, that looks suspiciously like a Toyota Yaris,” then congratulations—you have excellent powers of observation. Because it is a Toyota Yaris, just with Mazda badges slapped on the front and back (oh, and one on the steering wheel). So, what were Mazda […]
THE one word that always springs to mind when I think of Suzuki, isn’t “Value” or “Budget”, it’s simply “Honest”. And that’s because Suzuki motors are exactly that; you get everything you were promised, and often more than you expected. Take this latest, 4th generation Swift, for instance; priced from £19,199 for a 5-seat, 5-door […]
The Kia Picanto is the smallest model offered by Kia in the UK, and it seems to be a popular choice judging by the number of them on the roads. Even the 1st-generation models are still commonly seen, which is a testament to their dependability. This 3rd-generation model has been around since 2017 and has […]
THE Volkswagen Polo has been around in the UK since 1975 and in that time we Brits have bought more than 1.4 million of them. This may have been because the Polo has always been on the generous side of practical for a small car. German build-quality and reliability have played a part too but many Polos will […]
THE Suzuki Celerio is the Japanese manufacturers most-affordable car and if you think that must mean a lack of refinement or equipment then you may be pleasantly surprised. The Celerio is never going to wow you with plush interiors or cutting-edge infotainment systems but after spending a week with the mid-spec Celerio SZ3 I can tell you […]
You’ve got to love a Citroen for their quirkiness and Galic charm and the new Citroen C3 is no exception. Already reviewed alongside it’s main rivals on these pages, here’s Car Indicators’ full video review of this charming city car – The first of many more video reviews to come. We’re learning as we go […]
Toyota Aygo may be small but it punches well-above its weight. An oversight on the car-choice front recently found me driving a tiny Toyota Aygo X-Press – with Mrs B and Mrs B’s mum aboard – up to Penrith for a 5-day stay at Center Parcs. And yes, luggage was included too although, thankfully, no […]
Volkswagen’s High flying up! sets the standard. UPDATED in 2016, the Volkswagen up! is a boxy-looking but surprisingly spacious city car that has won many fans since its launch here in the UK in 2012 and has won several best-in-class awards beating such rivals as the Citroen C1, Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 108 as well […]
It’s a Vauxhall Viva Jim, but not as we know it … THE new Vauxhall Viva is nothing like the old Vauxhall Viva which was a full-sized family car capable of taking a family of five – including luggage – on a full day’s drive to Pontins Holiday Park at Prestatyn Sands in Clwyd. The […]
