Lewis’s background in hands-on mechanical work — he’s rebuilt everything from classic cars to modern performance models — gives him a unique perspective when it comes to assessing vehicles. Whether it’s a family hatchback or a high-performance supercar, he knows exactly what makes a car good, great, or one to avoid.
At Parkers, Lewis focuses on delivering clear, honest and informed car reviews, buyers’ guides and technical deep-dives, helping readers make the best possible decision when choosing their next vehicle. His writing is trusted for its sharp insights, real-world experience, and a no-nonsense approach to separating marketing hype from genuine engineering excellence.
When he’s not testing cars, Lewis can usually be found working on his own automotive projects, driving across Europe, or chasing down his next great motoring story.
