Carwow garage: these are the cars we drive everyday
November 07, 2025 by Jamie Edkins
Car changing is a big deal
Here at Carwow, we’re lucky to be able to drive all the latest and greatest models. News Editor Jamie Edkins is going to walk you through the cars which we use everyday.
Between the Carwow team, we cover tens of thousands of miles every month. Some of us haul loads of kit to video shoots, while others are slogging up and down motorways to industry events. It’s important therefore that we have the right cars for the job.
Well we have a whole fleet of long term test cars, vehicles which manufacturers give us for an extended period to properly test what they’re like to use everyday. Each car lives with one member of the team for the duration of its stay.
Here’s a rundown of all the cars currently on our long term fleet, and you can click the links to head to the reports on each car to find out more.
Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
Here are the cars currently on our long term fleet:
New arrivals
Audi RSQ8 Performance
Run by: Mat Watson
Mat has been running an Audi RSQ8 for the last few months. It’s a V8-powered super-SUV with 640hp, yet is still spacious enough for ferrying the family around. The jury’s still out on the beige colour scheme though.
How has Mat been testing this car?
Mat does a lot of miles driving to video shoots, as well as playing chauffeur for his daughter. The RSQ8 has also featured in its fair share of drag races over the last few months, including one where it beat the Ferrari Purosangue.
Volvo EX30
Run by: Jamie Edkins
News editor Jamie Edkins has been living with a Volvo EX30 since May 2025. He spent the first three months with a Twin-Motor performance version with 430hp, but has since switched to a more sensible Single-Motor Extended Range version which he thinks is a better buy.
How has Jamie been testing this car?
Jamie’s role as news editor sees him travelling all over the country, and sometimes Europe, to industry events and car launches to get all the latest stories. He also spends quite a bit of time on the narrow streets of Cornwall, so the Volvo’s being put to the test both as a motorway cruiser and as an urban runaround.
BYD Seal U
Run by: James Drujon
James has been running our BYD Seal U since it arrived in the Spring this year. It’s a plug-in hybrid SUV which offers loads of kit and a posh interior for a pretty low price, but it’s not quite as nice to drive as the MG HS.
How has James been testing this car?
As our YouTube Associate Producer, James does a lot of work behind the scenes to organise locations and logistics. As such, he does a lot of travelling to check out new filming spots, and he goes on most video shoots with loads of kit in the boot to keep things running smoothly. He’s also recently become a dad, so the BYD is working hard as a family wagon.
Toyota Prius
Run by: Cameron Kalare
Cameron is the guardian of our Toyota Prius, and we want to find out if this striking-looking plug-in hybrid has finally shaken its Uber driver image. He loves all the kit on board, and it’s a nice car to drive as well.
How has Cameron been testing this car?
Cameron is our social content creator, so he travels to a lot of Carwow video shoots, car shows and industry events to get hands-on with the latest models and capture short-form videos. He therefore does plenty of motorway miles in his trusty Prius.
Cupra Terramar
Run by: Will Davis
This is our Cupra Terramar, a sporty SUV which Will has been driving daily for the last three months. It has 265hp and four-wheel drive, but at £50,000 it is a touch expensive. Still, it certainly looks the part.
How has Will been testing this car?
Will is our head of social media, so you’ll see him on a lot of video shoots making sure we’re getting the best content for our social channels. As well as long-distance commutes, Will also spends a lot of time driving on the busy streets of London.
New arrivals
These are the cars which we’ve only just been handed the keys to, so keep an eye on this page for the first reports to drop.
Peugeot 208
Run by: Tommy Allen
Tommy is going to be living with this Peugeot 208 hybrid for the next six months. He’s our social content producer, so the little 208 will be put to work slogging up and down the country to capture all the best content.
Skoda Octavia vRS Estate
Run by: Jack Scotton
Our new Skoda Octavia vRS Estate will be put to the test over the next six months by head of video Jack Scotton. He’s on every YouTube shoot with a boot full of equipment, so this cavernous estate car should serve him well.
Citroen e-C3
Run by: Giulia McCarthy
Giulia is our video project manager, and is therefore the glue which holds the whole Carwow content operation together. She’ll be testing our new Citroen e-C3 as an urban runaround for the next six months.
Volkswagen Tiguan
Run by: Iain Reid
Iain has just taken delivery of a new Volkswagen Tiguan, and one which actually has the same 265hp engine as our Terramar. He’ll be seeing if it’s the version to go for with trips to industry events, urban commutes as well as the odd trip to his homeland of Scotland.
Polestar 3
Run by: Rory White
Rory will be seeing what the Polestar 3 is like to live with over the next six months. This car actually won a recent Carwow range test, managing 390 miles before conking out. That’ll be handy for our YouTube Producer as he travels across the country on video shoots.
