Lets introduce you to ten cars with the best exhaust sounds – an exhaust note can transform an otherwise boring drive into so much more, just like listening to your favorite playlist or mix tape would

Quite a few months ago I was invited to the Galgorm Resort and Spa to drive the full INFINITI range and having reviewed most of the range on the blog to date – there was one model that slipped my scribbles – until now that is.

Following the production model’s debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the all-new Honda Civic Type R has set a new benchmark lap time for front-wheel drive cars at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

The Maserati Quattroporte or ‘four doors’ as it translates, is as you would guess, a car with four doors. The Quattroporte (QP) sits in the full sized luxury car market with stiff competition from the likes of the BMW 7 series, Mercedes S Class and Jaguar XF.

The Honda HR-V has come a very long way since the “Joy Machine” of the late nineties and most certainly for the better I will admit. This latest small SUV from Honda was launched last year after a decade of no HR-V being offered from the Japanese brand.

Elfyn Evans and co-driver Craig Parry won the 138.com Rally Isle of Man this weekend (15/17 September) after a gruelling three-day encounter over the classic Manx Tarmac roads.

Citroën has announced its range of offers for the new September registration, including 3 years / 35,000 miles servicing at £99 across its passenger car range (orders placed by 19 September & registered by 30 September, 2016), Citroën SimplyDrive across the range from 18 years old with telematics, and up to £1,500 additional support for customers when trading in their car for a new model: £1,500 for C4 Picasso and £1,000 for C3 Picasso.

It is hard to believe that half a decade has passed since the last Modified Motors car event was held at the Ecclesville Centre in Fintona, an event that for years was home to one of the biggest, busiest and craziest days on the annual car scene calendar.

Audi in Northern Ireland has for years has been a huge seller, the stigma that the infamous “rings” badge portrays along with the wide range of Diesel engines available and the specifications that can be ordered, have made the brand into one that is now seen on every residential street.

We recently received a little gem from French manufacturer Peugeot in the form of a reasonably practical 208 GT-Line. When the 208 range was launched a couple of years ago I was lucky enough to get a drive in one of the first GTi models that came into Northern Ireland and it impressed greatly, so with anticipation was keen to get driving this latest model.
