Description

We're back after a two-week break, and this week we're in an Omoda 5, one of a glut of new Chinese cars that are now starting to arrive on Britain's shores. They're temptingly cheap - but should you take the plunge? Scrof and Kitch discuss.

Closer to home, A sad fate has befallen Kitch's Ford S-Max while we've been away, so he's has been out test-driving a replacement. Meanwhile, he's sold another car, and is thinking about selling another. Scrof, meanwhile, has bought one. Which then immediately broke. Cars, eh?
