Nissan Qashqai+2 2.0 (2008) CAR review

David Motton, 28 August 2008 12:38

Don't let Nissan catch you calling the new Qashqai+2 an MPV. Like its jacked-up hatchback little brother, this is one of Nissan’s growing family of ‘crossover’ vehicles – mainstream cars with a pinch of 4x4 here and a hint of people carrier there. Just think of it as a Qashqai hatch but with a couple of extra seats. It’s a ...

Jeep Patriot 2.0 CRD CAR review

Anonymous, 02 July 2007 10:26

The Jeep Patriot? I'm whistling the Star-Spangled Banner already... The name ain't exactly subtle, is it? And the odd names don't end there; the Patriot's new 4x4 system is called the 'Freedom Drive 1' – fitting for a newly independent Chrysler Jeep set adrift by Mercedes... The jury's still out on the Patriot's looks. There are strong family styling cues, ...

Jeep Compass 2.0 CRD Limited manual CAR review

Anonymous, 02 March 2007 10:00

Is this the much vaunted ‘Jeep for ladies’ then? Well sort of. This is Jeep’s first ‘compact sport utility’ and it’s hoping the softer more modern lines will appeal to drivers who want a Jeep but don’t want to look all checked shirt and hairy arsed. They’ve made it more on-road biased and more economical and easier to live with, too, ...

Skoda Octavia Scout 2.0 CAR review

Anonymous, 27 February 2007 08:23

Skoda Octavia Scout: sounds a bit Dib Dib Dib? It’s Skoda’s way of describing mildly tweaked ‘off-road’ versions of its cars. With this model, it’s taken the Octavia 4x4 estate and made it longer, wider and higher by raising the ride height and adding extra body kit. The result actually looks quite sensible. Lifting a car by four centimetres might ...

Mitsubishi Outlander CAR review

Anonymous, 12 December 2006 10:30

Ah yes, the Outlander, aka the C-Crosser and 4007… Yes indeed. Mitsubishi’s new Outlander, which arrives in the UK next March, is the perfect example of the interwoven intricacies of the current automotive market. It’s a soft-roader built on a platform jointly developed by Mitsubishi and DaimlerChrysler, powered by a Volkswagen-sourced diesel engine and a petrol unit co-developed with Hyundai, ...

Jeep Wrangler 2.8 CRD CAR review

Anonymous, 03 November 2006 09:00

You said this was a new Jeep Wrangler, but it looks exactly the same. Yes, we’re talking evolution rather than revolution for the new Wrangler. But you can’t blame Jeep for that. On the other side of the Atlantic, the Wrangler is a seriously beloved motoring icon, that Jeep daren’t change too much. So, like our own Land Rover Defender, ...

Chevrolet Captiva 2.0d LT CAR review

Anonymous, 14 August 2006 09:01

This is no rebadged Daewoo, unlike the other European Chevys... Spot on. The new Captiva is the first all-new model since GM bought up Daewoo and relaunched it under the Chevrolet brand. In a model line up whose staples include the bland Nubira and Matiz city car, the Captiva stands out like an 18-year-old at a Daniel O'Donnell concert. Like ...
