Cornered is an automotive blog born from a lifelong love of cars, speed, and storytelling.
Originally launched as Driven by Rhys, the site began as a personal passion project—one voice, one perspective, and one mission: to share honest, relatable car content without the fluff. From car reviews and event coverage to deep dives into ownership experiences, Driven by Rhys grew into a trusted outlet for car enthusiasts looking for something real.
In 2025, that project evolved. Driven by Rhys became Cornered.
Why the change?
Because the road ahead is bigger than one person. While the heart of the site—enthusiastic, honest, and a little tongue-in-cheek—remains the same, Cornered opens the door to new contributors, more varied content, and a broader perspective. It’s still Rhys behind the wheel, but now there’s room in the passenger seat (and back seats too).
Why “Cornered”?
Corners are where the fun happens. Whether you’re talking late apexes, tight hairpins, or life’s unexpected turns, Corneredrepresents those moments where control meets chaos—and you grip the wheel just that bit tighter.
The name reflects a deeper love for the art of driving. It’s not just about straight-line speed or spec sheets; it’s about the feel of the car, the feedback through the steering wheel, and the moments that make driving memorable. Cornered is for those who know that life, like driving, is best when you’re fully engaged.
What’s Next?
More reviews – From daily drivers to dream cars, expect more hands-on impressions and real-world insights.
Collaborations – Guest contributors, shared projects, and more voices from across the car community.
New formats – Podcasting, video, social media storytelling—there’s more than one way to take a corner.
Deeper dives – Honest takes on ownership, running costs, modifications, and the moments that make or break a car.
Whether you’re here for the performance stats, the emotional connection, or just to see what car Rhys is obsessing over this month—you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Cornered.
