Tom joined Haymarket, the publisher of Autocar, in 2017. He was previously managing editor of MSN Cars among some other hats while working for Microsoft for 13 years. A dedicated car contrarian, he enjoys boring cars more than exciting ones, and prefers glorious failures to stupendous successes. He drives a 2014 Audi A3 Saloon 1.4 TSFi, and aspires to a BMW 550i Touring, if he could ever find one.
