2023 Lexus LS Summary

Surprisingly, for people who would rather be driven than drive themselves, there are quite a few options available in the large luxury sedan market.

While on the whole sedans have fallen from favour, this niche corner of the market continues to let the three-box design thrive.

The options here have changed a bit in the last few years, though, so how does the Lexus flagship, the LS fit into the picture? I drove one around for a week to find out.

2023 Citroen C5X Summary

The all-new Citroen C5 X is different. It takes just one look at the car to realise that.

It’s partly an SUV, has more than a hint of wagon to it, and it’s nothing like the old Citroen C5s of years gone by. That’s no bad thing - because this is the sort of Citroen that people who have never even heard of the brand will likely pay attention to

The brand has shaken off its ‘quirky and French’ vibes for a more ‘modern European’ look, and let me tell you - this is a very interesting car. Read on to find out all the stuff you want to know, plus the things you need to know.
