In this unsponsored video I share with you a 3 night/4 day road trip to Amsterdam in my Audi S4 TDI Avant. There are unfortunately 3 technical video glitches in this video that come about due to an incompatibility with Apple's video format and Adobe editing software, hopefully these do not affect your enjoyment.
This trip came about because I'd booked a ferry to report on the new Clubsport reveal on 31/5 but decided against it. This date coincided with UK half term and DFDS were slapping on a £100 surcharge onto their £99 short break ticket right at the end of the booking. This led to me to look at alternatives via a price comparison website which led me to Irish Ferries. They were great when it came to swapping the dates over and adding a passenger and this positive experience continued on board. Highly recommended.

Now they are fully run in, there will be a full review of the Turanza 6 tyre where I compare it to the sportier Bridgestone Potenza S001 which was originally on my car and consider many more factors than just fuel economy.

This is the new Volkswagen Tiguan!

VW’s ever-popular mid-sized SUV has had a facelift, and Mat’s about to find out what’s changed and whether it can compete with competitors like the Peugeot 3008 and Skoda Kodiaq.

When it comes to the design, there are several changes over the previous edition. We’ve got our hands on the R-Line edition, which has a few sportier elements than the entry-level car. Up front, there’s a full-length light bar, and it also comes with an aggressive lower bumper and some real vents. Along the side this edition comes with black window surrounds, contrasting door mirrors and black roof bars. At the back, there’s another full-length light bar and (thankfully!) no fake exhausts to be found anywhere!

There are several updates on the inside too. This R-Line edition comes with ambient lights built into the dash on the passenger side, and this car is also specced with an upgraded infotainment screen! It’s a super clear display, although unfortunately, it can be a bit laggy at times. The climate controls are also managed through the screen as well. There’s a large digital driver's display, and the gear selector has moved to a stalk on the steering wheel.

There are a couple of engine options available. The entry-level is a 1.5-litre turbo petrol that can deliver 130hp, while another 1.5-litre turbo petrol can put down 150hp. There’s one diesel available - a 2-litre turbo diesel that creates 150hp. There are also two plug-in hybrids available - both use the 1.5-litre turbo petrol, with one creating 204hp, and one creating 272hp. These cars come with a 20kWh battery pack that can drive on electric power alone for up to 77 miles!

The Tiguan starts at £34,000, rising to up to £48,000 for the top-of-the-range edition. So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

It’s time for a Tesla Model 3 Performance drag race!

We’ve got our hands on the first edition of the Model 3 Performance to hit our shores, and it’s about to go head-to-head against the all-new edition!

So let’s see how the two compare. For starters, the older car isn’t actually a full-blown Performance - it’s a Model 3 with a Performance Pack added to it. Even so, it still comes with two electric motors which combine to produce 450hp and 640Nm of torque. The two motors also mean the car has all-wheel drive, and it weighs in at 1,850kg. Back in 2020 the car cost around £58,000.

As for the newer car, it offers almost identical stats. The two motors offer all-wheel drive and combined they produce 460hp and 650Nm. It weighs in at 1,839kg, and as new it costs around £60,000.

So they offer almost identical performance, but will the newer technology prevail? There’s only one way to find out... LET’S RACE!
