Being a fan of Skoda, namely the vRS model range I was looking forward to this test model from Skoda UK recently, as it to me is everything a car should be. Large yet practical with some sporting heritage providing a fantastic driving experience with enough oomph to boot.

The Suzuki Baleno is a car that many will have heard of from years gone by, in fact some time ago when I started driving, the Baleno model was quite popular with those who wanted an affordable, reasonably easy to insure, good looking warm hatch with the kind of reliability only Japanese cars could provide back then.

Suzuki and sports utility vehicles are something that have been said in the same sentence for decades now with the Vitara models over the years as well as the very basic yet high functional Jimny which is loved around the globe.
It has been a long time since I last drove a Mazda. Two years in fact, when my ‘better half’ owned a previous generation Mazda 3. It wasn’t great…it was a little sluggish, didn’t handle all that well and was hard on fuel, which was disappointing given the lack of performance.
