Had the opportunity of a couple of hours with the new Audi A6 last week. This was a standard 2.0 TDI 143 SE Saloon.
That is the last time I mention standard in this review.
I had to keep making sure as I was given the keys that this was a stan.. sorry regular car with no extras. This is because on revamping the A6 Audi have decided to spec their cars more than ever before.
The key points ... [ more ]
BMW 520 Efficient Dynamics by Sam Young 11/11/2011
So have BMW done it again? The new 5 series with an Efficient Dynamic badge. Well the figures do match up.
119 Co2 (under the magic 120 for BIK)
184 BHP engine
62 mph in 8.2 seconds
Combined MPG of 62.8 (according to government test)
On the face of it the answer is yes they have again pushed the boundaries with another eco but very useable saloon car. Standard trim is very nice to: 17” alloys, keyless ... [ more ]
Range Rover Evoque SD4 190 by Sam Young 01/11/2011
The Reason for the short test title is due to the massive interest in this car. My local dealer is currently doing at least 5 test drives per day with this car instead of an average of 10 over a week across the whole previous range.
I managed to get one for a few hours. Initial impression is that the car is not a s big as it looks in the photos. Land Rover have done a very good ... [ more ]

Road Test Vauxhall Astra by Danny Lee 13 October 2010
At first glance the new Vauxhall (seat Leon look-a-like) Astra is a breath of fresh air compared to the previous estate agent pretending he is driving an unmarked police panda mark 5 version with all new chassis, body and sleek dash board even the gear change is a vast improvement you do not feel like the stick is going to come off in your hand as you try selecting one of those poorly radioed gears.

Road Test BMW 520D SE by Tim Norton 28 September 2010
I was very excited when this car arrived, 184 bhp, 58 mpg and 129Co2, sounds too good to be true. 1200 miles later and I have to say the car has exceeded all my expectations other than probably due to my heavy right foot it only averages at 42.1 mpg.
With Bluetooth and leather trim as standard this car really raises the bar for standard specification, the I drive means you can operate your mobile safely, it also has ... [ more ]

We've been keeping business on the move for years! 15th June 2008

This was owned by the dealer group of which GKL was once part and subsequently demerged in 1997. This factory unit might not have been the most aesthetically beautiful place in the world, but had the great merit of being exceedingly low cost! That benefit alone made a significant contribution towards helping GKL to offer highly attractive contract hire and leasing ... [ more ]
