Dear Criss, Hot hatches are fast becoming Ford’s forte – and Auto Express has got news of another storming newcomer. The Fiesta RS promises to be one of the most thrilling models in its class.
Here in the UK we’ve been putting another of Ford’s finest through its paces against a surprisingly capable new French rival. The old Citroen C5 was no match for the Mondeo, but don’t write off the latest version just yet…
Our spies have snapped an incredible flagship Mercedes with greater performance -and a higher price tag – than the mighty SLR! Don’t miss our exclusive Finnish ice driving test of the facelifted Jeep Grand Cherokee either. See the video here.
