2014 MOTORING ROUND-UP
I
t’s that time of the year when l look back with a mixture of joy, occasional ambivalence and, on that very rare occasion, total horror at the cars we have tested and reviewed. Here’s the top ten in each category and l have included a category entitled ‘please don’t go’, for those rare cars that l totally fell in love with and was tempted to stash around the corner so they couldn’t take it away. Obviously, l then had to add a section entitled ‘Please don’t come back’ and l am sure that is quite self-explanatory. This section could come in handy if you haven’t yet decided what you want for Christmas!
