Alex Robbins is a motoring writer who tests the latest new cars for a living. Richard Kitchen is an automotive engineer who spends most of his time bringing crumbling classics back to life. Together, they spend a lot of time drinking tea and talking rubbish about cars. So they thought they may as well do it with a microphone in front of them. On Overbore, Alex tries to convince Rich of the merits of the modern automobile - while Rich tries to help Alex learn more about running his classic. And along the way, they hope to help lovers of cars of all ages and types to broaden their horizons.

OB8: Why touchscreens suck, bring back Volkswagen, and a Mini adventure, in a VW ID.Buzz

This week, we’re in Scrof’s new long-term test car, which Kitch wants to love but… well, you can guess the rest.


It’s a Volkswagen ID.Buzz, and it gives us the perfect reason to ask: what’s happened to VW? Or more specifically, why have the company’s current cars lost the sense of quality and usability that used to be such a hallmark - and will they get it back again?


As part of this discussion we explain just why touchscreens and touchpads are such a step backwards. But we also discover Rich has been driving a modern car - and liked it. Which one? Well, you’ll have to listen to find out… (or, y’know, just look at the podcast title. Ahem.)
