2024 Mahindra XUV700 AX7L review
The XUV700 was and still is the only Mahindra I’ve driven. The firm has produced a few odd, upright models in the past but now, there are more interesting offerings, like this one. Mahindra is also developing EVs with a pair of zero-emissions models about to launch. Back to the now though and the XUV700 features a new platform and a fresh design.

1993 Mazda Autozam AZ-1 Mazdaspeed
A tiny mid-engined kei car wouldn’t be our first choice for a commuter but that doesn’t stop the owner of this Autozam AZ-1 using it on the daily. We try it on for size.
