Grand Tour

I have just read your verdict in the BMW Gran Turismo. I had a look at this car last week and thought it was pretty good. I would like to change my S Class now nearly three years old and I feel this BMW...

Drip freed

I just bought a Mercedes C220CDI on a finance deal and think I've made a huge mistake due to clever salesmanship and my ignorance. 1st deal: £4k for my part exchange plus £2k deposit, then 36 months at...
