Autumn is here and the (k)nights are getting darker - fire up the Batmobile!

- Darren Wilson

CUPRA TERRAMAR

NEW Car Day always causes great excitement in the Wilson household.

Everyone is keen to take a tour, fiddle with the infotainment and offer an opinion.

These days, my grandchildren, Zack (five) and Hope (three), like to get involved, too. The dynamic duo immediately christened our Cupra 'The Batmobile'. Okay, there are more radically styled cars about than our Timanfaya Grey Terramar; but as the dark nights return, they've been captivated by the distinctive Cupra logo in its massive bat-like puddle lights on either side of the car. Once inside, the deep red wraparound interior lighting has spiked their imagination, and I'm with them.

VOLKSWAGEN ID. BUZZ

SAYING that a passenger car “drives like a van” would probably be seen as a negative by a lot of people, but that would be to ignore two important facts. Firstly, modern vans are much closer to their car cousins than they were years ago. Things have moved on in all kinds of ways - from ride quality and refinement, to performance and technology. Secondly, vans are great to drive anyway!

Alpin A390

IF you're looking at the car in these pictures and struggling to get a sense of what an Alpine A390 is, you're not the only one. The A390 GTS is very much an 'Alpine' in terms of its design, but this is an all-electric 4.6-metre-long crossover packing a high-performance powertrain underneath a body that's somewhere between an SUV, a coupé, and a four-door fastback.
