Access all our first drives in new cars here. The test drives usually take place at international launches abroad months before the cars go on sale in Ireland. Sometimes the cars won't be to Irish specification and pricing may not be available at the time of writing.
Nissan Qashqai review
Irish buyers have already made the Qashqai part of the family, so Nissan should have no difficulty selling the facelifted version.

Opel Meriva review

Our first taste of the stylish new Peugeot RCZ at the international launch suggests it'll be just as good to drive as it is to look at.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta review
First impressions from the international launch of the Alfa Giulietta.
Ford Fiesta review
