Cruise Control returns this week to usher in the arrival of Hyundai's brand new compact SUV, the Creta. The fully imported car jumps straight into the competitive B-segment, so it remains to be seen how it will perform in the market given its relatively high price.

We also discuss last week's big news on a whistleblower's claim of 'procedural irregularities' practiced by Toyota and Daihatsu, to examine its impact on the respective brands' presence in the market. We round it off with Daniel's top tips on a second hand deal for a 2016 edition of Volvo's XC 90 T8.
