We sit in them/ test-drive and critique

2018 Ford EcoSport ST-Line 1.0 (1).jpg

Ford Eco-Sport

Likes: A very handsome little sibling to the Escape. It has decent starting price and running costs.

Dislikes: It's not even close to 'sporty'. The ecoboost three-cylinder is a false economy; you can't access the boot if you park in tight parking spaces.

Overall: We aren't fans of it but rental car companies will be.

Subaru Ascent

Likes: The roomiest Subaru since the Tribeca. Turbo engine spools nicely and it's very comfortable and easy to live with.

Dislikes: CVT drone at higher speeds.

Overall: A three-row crossover that Subaru Loyalists have been begging for.



Buick Cascada

Likes: It's a Buick convertible that's quite chic in style. It's about looking good and it does that quite well. It's not a crossover.

Dislikes: The dashboard is overloaded with buttons.

Overall: It might not be quick but it's stylish, affordable and has low running costs.

Tesla Model 3

Likes: The styling inside out is very futuristic. It's very quick when you put your foot down, but easy to live with when you drive 'normally'. It's spacious for a sedan too.

Dislikes: The single infotainment screen for 'everything' takes some getting used to. The price you have to pay for better quality materials in the cabin.

Overall: We certainly want to see what a Model 3 stripped down no options gets you.
