BMW X3

Never mind the performance, the X3 has got serene comfort nailed
Get you a girl who can do both' is current internet slang for someone who possesses contrasting qualities. Perhaps somebody who has read Classics at Oxford but also knows how to weld. Anyway, I saw a video recently and couldn't help thinking of the X3, because I've recently found that the BMW can indeed do both. And one more. Take that, TikTokers.
This tale begins at 5.30am with a long day ahead. The BMW's first job was to ferry me from home in east London to the Autocar office in west London. An unglamorous task, but one that was deftly executed by big comfy seats for my backside, huge mirrors for my eyes and insurance premiums, and close to 40mpg for my wallet.

HOW PORSCHE IS PURSUING A QUIETER LIFE FOR OWNERS
NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) are three of the most important words in the engineering of new cars. They describe exactly that: noise and vibration generated from hundreds of sources, from the texture and undulation of the road surface to the entire drivetrain, tyres, brakes and structure of the car itself.

Max Verstappen was the standout Formula 1 driver of 2025 for me. That's not to denigrate new world champion Lando Norris in any way. In fact, I would argue the opposite is the case. That Norris prevailed in the tense Abu Dhabi finale does him huge credit because, as he will know only too well while reflecting on his hallowed new status, he did so in the face of an astonishing fightback from one of the true greats of motor racing.
