Thankfully, there’s a bit more to the digital instrument cluster, which can show critical driving information in various screens. My favourite display utilises two gigantic dials like you’d find in an analogue cluster, and they can contain readouts for fuel data, speed limit information, and gear position.

At first the shifter feels tough and is hard to gel with, but the more the car warms and the gentler you are, the throw becomes easier to manage. It doesn’t like to be rushed through the gears, especially at higher revs, but heel-and-toe downshifts are easy to perform thanks to a quick-revving engine. It also has a rev-match function, which works well.

Tom started out in the automotive industry by exploiting his photographic skills but quickly learned that journalists got the better end of the deal. He began with CarAdvice in 2014, left in 2017 to join Bauer Media titles including Wheels and WhichCar and subsequently returned to CarAdvice in early 2021 during its transition to Drive.

As part of the Drive content team, Tom covers automotive news, car reviews, advice, and holds a special interest in long-form feature stories.

He understands that every car buyer is unique and has varying requirements when it comes to buying a new car, but equally, there’s also a loyal subset of Drive audience that loves entertaining enthusiast content.

Tom holds a deep respect for all things automotive no matter the model, priding himself on noticing the subtle things that make each car tick. Not a day goes by that he doesn’t learn something new in an everchanging industry, which is then imparted to the Drive reader base.
