In his 25-year career as a motor journalist, Watson 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…

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 industry information that has never before been heard.
Watson also looks to answer all manner of hot button topics and debates in the automotive world, including:
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?
Featuring his signature unserious yet highly informed style, Auto Biography is the highly entertaining guide to cars from the world’s favourite car journalist.
