    Chinese cars now beat mainstream models on depreciation, just about | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It looks like there’s another reason to buy a Chinese car beyond the low prices and high equipment levels. On average, they will hold their value slightly better than models from established non-Chinese brands, too. New data analysis from Auto Express, using new car residual value predictions from CDL Vehicle Information Services, has calculated the average retained value of Chinese cars compared to those from other manufacturers. The results show that after three years and 36,000 miles, models

    Confidence is a virtue and the whole car market needs more of it | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In recent times, the car market has been lacking one thing more than any other – confidence. Car buyers aren’t sure what to buy, or whether to buy anything at all. Car manufacturers can’t tell which legislative, economic or geopolitical maelstrom they’re going to be clobbered by next. A little confidence, maybe even some optimism, would do everyone the world of good. When you look down the track, or read the tattered newspaper being buffeted along it by the bitter north wind, it can seem that th

    Mercedes CLA Electric review | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Mercedes CLA Electric emphatically put the brand back on the right track after some underwhelming model launches. Its chassis feels superbly engineered in a way that previous EQ electric models didn’t, and efficiency is class-leading. There’s a sophisticated interior, an abundance of tech and exceptional cruising ability, too.

All the experts and analysts who study these things recommend what is known as zip-merging. Zip-merging is a simple process. You drive up to the point where vehicles in the lane that is ending have to move across into the lane that is continuing ahead. Drivers in the continuing lane then make space for those in the ending lane to move across in an alternating pattern. Because it looks

    The school run restart fills me with dread, as a parent and resident | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Enjoy the holiday heatwaves while you can. It won’t be long before parents of school age kids are climbing back into their cars for the school run ritual to begin again. As a parent who does the school run and lives within forked sausage throwing range of a school, I’ve seen the chaos from all sides, and am in a good position to call for a little perspective and understanding. My Grange Hill reference may have sailed over the heads of our more youthful readers, much like the famous cutlery pierc
