Geared at car enthusiasts and those hoping to get a few useful tips before making that all important purchase, Driving Seat promises to provide a well rounded review of cars for those in the market and also to deliver a fresh approach to testing the latest models.

 

In this Sunday’s first episode, Glenda’s first task is to review the Mitsubishi ASX mini SUV with busy mum-of-three Clodagh Lenehan. Kirsteen packs her bags and travels to sunny Barcelona to attend the launch of the Mazda 3, while Aidan investigates the very real danger of texting while driving. Aidan also helps young student George McGovern to find a car on a tight budget.

Speaking about joining the Driving Seat crew, new recruit Glenda Gilson, said: “I’m delighted to be joining the Driving Seat crew for series two – I’ve always been a bit of a tomboy when it comes to cars so test driving the latest motors is right up my street. I know Aidan and Kirsteen well and we had great fun filming together as a team!”
