Build it yourself Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Chris Chilton, 29 December 2011 16:02

Doing a spot of last-minute shopping for my four-year-old, I was sorely tempted to buy this superb £40 build-it-yourself Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Probably far too tricky for the boy but I would have loved to spend Christmas morning 'helping' him to put it together. It's heartening that model makers are still switched on to the latest hot cars. Car ...

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2011 09:54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Are diesel particulate filters more trouble than help?

Chris Chilton, 26 August 2011 09:50

If you’ve seen the latest September 2011 issue of CAR Magazine, you might have noticed a news story about diesel particulate filters, and how a failing one could land you with a £1500 repair bill that isn’t covered by any warranty. DPFs started appearing on diesel cars a decade ago. Like catalytic converters on petrol cars, they sit in the ...

Range Rover Evoque Coupe 2.2D (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 14 July 2011 09:37

Before we get started, can we just clear one thing up: what sort of car is the Evoque meant to be? Hot hatch, coupe, SUV? Well, it’s a bit of all three really. The five-door model will tend to appeal to buyers looking at other small SUVs, like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. But Land Rover sees the three-door, ...

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 13 July 2011 09:00

The Edition 35 is Volkswagen’s way of celebrating 35 years of the Golf GTi – it wasn’t the first hot hatch, but it was the first that actually mattered. But as anniversary presents go, is it a diamond ring, or does it feel more like a bunch of garage flowers? Wow, the VW Golf 35! It looks…exactly the same as ...

Renault’s new Megane RS 265 Trophy recently smashed the Nurburgring lap record for front-wheel drive cars. But does that translate into more on-road fun? Read on for our first drive of the new Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy to find out... I didn’t even know there was a lap record for FWD cars. It’s a bit like hearing that Blackburn reserves beat ...

Mini coupe JCW (2011) CAR review Mini Roadster (2012) first official pictures After the endless teaser stories and photos of cars wearing vestigal disguise, Mini has finally released full details of its cut down, uglied-up two-seat Coupe.

Saab 9-5 Sportwagon (2011) pre-production CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 16 June 2011 09:43

The Saab 9-5 hasn’t exactly been met with rapturous applause. In fact it's come in for harsh criticism for its even harsher ride quality, particularly from the UK press, and Saab is keen to put that right. So we’ve been invited to spend the day driving with Saab’s chassis engineers as they carry out testing of the new Saab 9-5 ...
