Contain yourselves, Subaru UK is bringing the Impreza name back to these shores. But before you get too carried away, that Impreza name is only applied to a single 1.6 RC hatchback model now.

Citroën’s DS3 hatchback has been something of a runaway success for a firm that had struggled for many years to find an identity. With over 48,000 sold in the UK, as a nation we seem to love them. But just how much would you pay for one? £29,035. That’s the big figure right there to…

We don’t usually make a habit of featuring DTM on EngageSportMode, but with the release of Audi’s 2014 championship challenger we felt compelled if only for the fact it has the coolest wing mirror mounts ever. Shown here in the yellow and green colours of last year’s champion Mike Rockenfeller, the DTM RS 5 is…

Geneva 2014 – 420 PS Audi TT quattro sport concept
We’ve already featured the all-new Audi TT launched at this week’s Geneva Motor Show, but Ingolstadt had an extra surprise lined up for show goers; the TT quattro sport concept.

Geneva 2014 – SEAT Leon Cupra sets Nürburgring Record
With 280 PS the new SEAT Leon Cupra was always going to have decent performance. But was it enough to set a new lap record for production cars at the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit? Indeed! The previous record for production front-wheel drive cars was set in 2011 by the Renault Sport Megane RS Trophy with a…

Peugeot 308 (somehow) Wins 2014 European Car of the Year
Sometimes things happen when you least expect them. Who could have predicted Russia reigniting Cold War tensions, Red Bull suffering horrendous F1 testing reliability, or a distinctly average hatchback winning 2014 European Car of the Year. Realistically the latter was probably more foreseeable than the former two examples. But it still makes you question just…
