2012 Ford Mondeo Titanium - the quickest ever Mondeo If you want an illustration of how quickly things are changing in the car world when it comes to the relationship between power and economy, you could do worse than look at the 2012 Ford Mondeo Titanium.

2015 Hyundai i20 INTERIOR revealed

Hyundai say the new i20′s interior is colourful and comfortable, and they look to have worked on pushing the i20′s interior closer to that of German rivals. Plenty of premium soft-touch materials make the interior a nicer place to be – and to touch – and colour blocks are used to help create an air of spaciousness.
