The Citroen C4 (Mk3 since 2020) is the most satisfying car to own according to the annual Driver Power study from motoring magazine Auto Express (auto express.co.uk).

It scored 93.39 per cent in the poll of thousands of UK drivers, taking in issues such as reliability and build quality, ride and handling, fuel economy and running costs, servicing costs, practicality and space, comfort and value for money.

Runner-up in the 2023 poll is the Kia Sorento (Mk4 from 2020) with 92.44 per cent satisfaction. 

The Lexus RX (Mk4 — 2015 to 2022) is in third place with 92.15 per cent, followed by the Dacia Duster (Mk2 2018 to present with 91.75 per cent) and the Subaru Outback (Mk6 01.73) with 91.73 per cent.

The survey also breaks down motorists’ experiences into categories and classes of cars from superminis to SUVs.

Electric car drivers are being invited to explore some of the Lake District’s most delightful destinations this summer on a new EV Trail.

It has been created by Cumbria Tourism for the Low Carbon Lake District initiative. Organisers say: ‘Experiencing the numerous attractions is best done over a few days, or even a week, allowing the most sustainable enjoyment of the area’s lakes, forests, mountains, castles and other historical locations.’

An additional 900 charge-points are to be installed with funding from the Department for Transport’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) grant.
