‘You can pack enough for a 2-week hotel stay in the South of France’ Temperatures are rising, and summer vibes are taking over. This calls for an open car, even if a convertible isn’t always a complete joy in really high temperatures. Fortunately, the BMW Z4 of the E89 generation offers a solution, armed against […]

The Danish concept of ‘hygge’ means something like coziness or well-being. This term is perfectly applicable to the new Volvo EM90, which pampers its occupants to the max. Unfortunately, Volvo’s first MPV is only available in China. Therefore, we drive it through Shanghai instead of Stockholm. Cozy in Shanghai, also on the road for sure?

Few car brands openly embrace safety as much as Volvo. Successfully, because who doesn’t associate the Swedish brand with safety? It’s no wonder that the Volvo Safety Center is opening its doors to us on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. All car brands work around the clock on safety. The requirements are different all

Your first love is never forgotten. That’s why, together with enthusiastic car owners, we look back on their very first car.

Irmscher Opium The Opel Manta B is one of the most tuned cars of the 70s and 80s. Six-cylinder in it, flared wheel arches, fierce spoilers, you name it with which the coupé based on the Ascona was tuned. Pure cult, for decades. We mainly know the Manta from the New Kids and in Germany

More and more often new cars seem to be featured with electronic defects. It also appears from research by JD Power. Especially fully electric models and plug-in hybrids often leave their drivers. Autoweek found out where that trend comes from and how manufacturers solve the defects. What is not on it cannot go wrong and

The story of Stef De Wachter is about three V’s. The first is the V of ‘collecting’, the second is that of ‘addicted’, because he is not so much addicted to collecting but to the third V. That is the V of ‘Volvo’. Stef cannot live without it. In psychology, it is a well-known fact:

Ford Puma Gen -E – € 32,995 (temporarily € 29,995) In this episode of Back to Basics we treat the Ford Puma Gen-e, but we could just as well have left ‘Ford Puma’. After all, the electric variant is immediately the cheapest Puma that you can buy. What is that? More and more often we

Gorgeous, Powerful, Don’t Be Childish! A twelve-cylinder engine has always been the epitome of ultimate refinement (in the 1930s, Cadillac and Marmon even built V16s). Those who considered that too much of a good thing could still opt for an equally impressive eight-cylinder. The V8 was even the standard engine in the States for a
