Mat Watson knows everything there is to know about cars.
In his 25-year career as a motor journalist, he has driven and tested every vehicle under the sun, from engineering marvels such as the Bugatti Chiron and Ferrari F40, to the grand-touring stalwarts of highways and motorways the world over – Audis, Volvos, Fords, Fiats, Citroens, Mercedes and Teslas – to absolute crapheaps which should never have made it out of the factory gates. He has crawled into hundreds of boots, peered under thousands of bonnets, kicked tens of thousands of tyres, and has perfected a nose for what makes a beautiful, brilliant and, sometimes truly atrocious, car.
Trusted and loved by his many millions of followers online, Mat’s seal of approval is sought by car manufacturers the world over. His signature unserious yet highly informed style has granted him exclusive access to the biggest launches, the most exclusive cars, and the best in-car snacks.
In Auto Biography, his long-awaited first book, Mat presents his own 100% completely correct and highly opinionated guide to the world of cars. From Aston Martin to Kia, BMW to Porsche, he offers up discerning and pithy takes on all the major car manufacturers, telling stories and sharing insider information that has never before been heard, as well as exploring all manner of hot button topics and debates in the automotive world:

  • What really makes a good car, and what makes a bad one?



  • What is the best gadget he’s ever seen on a car?



  • What’s better, electric or petrol?



  • Which car brand has the best insignia?



  • What’s the best car to buy for your mum?
