Season 2 kicks off with a bang!
Mark heads to sunny Spain to get behind the wheel of the all-new Nissan Micra EV and sits down with one of its designers for an exclusive chat. Meanwhile, Paddy is head-over-heels for the reborn Renault 5 — a car we partly record the episode in (yes, really).
We’re also joined by Lisa Brankin, Chair and MD of Ford UK & Ireland, who reflects on her career at the Blue Oval and dives into the Ford Power Promise — a bold initiative to win over EV skeptics as it launches in Ireland.
Plus, we break down the latest industry headlines, including the big news: Gowan Motors becomes the official Irish importer for Leapmotor starting September 2025.
And finally, another listener sends in a classic car-buying dilemma — you know we had to get involved.
Driver’s Republic is back. Let’s drive.
