PLAY - GAME OF THE MONTH
There appears to be some sort of law, perhaps inscribed on Magna Carta, that if you have a collection of kid-friendly franchises, you must place those characters in a karting video game to battle in the white hot crucible of two-stroke motorsport.

Honda ZR-V
WE MUST KICK OFF THIS MONTH'S UPDATE WITH A SMALL ROUND OF applause for the Honda ZR-V. You see, it has slipped into daily life with consummate ease here at TG. It's simply an extremely easy car to live with. The powertrain may sound complex with its twin electric motors, petrol powered motor generator and Honda's 'Linear Shift Control', but from the driver's seat there isn't any real sense of the engineering that's going on underneath. And that's a compliment, honest. The ZR-V is quiet, reasonably refined and actually much more comfortable than I gave it credit for when I first drove this car on the launch in Spain.

Jeep Avenger
AS ANY GOOD WILL TELL YOU, IT'S ALWAYS WORTH getting a second opinion. Which is why, after running the Avenger for a couple of months and generally being won over by its uncomplicated manners and neat proportions, I lobbed the keys to the newest member of TG's writing staff, Shafiq Abidin, to pick his annoyingly youthful brains.

BMW M2
HAVE I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE? SHOULD I DEACTIVATE ALL MY SOCIAL media profiles, claim I was hacked and enter a witness protection scheme? Feels like it. We asked BMW if we could replace our retiring i4 saloon with the baby M car. The M2. The last manual M car. And guess what? We've gone for the automatic.
