Audi TT Roadster 2.0T (2006) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 11 December 2006 10:03

Why do I want to read about a roadster in this weather? Look out of your window. Yes, you’ll see stormclouds, flooded roads and possibly a tornado, but you’ll probably also see an Audi TT roadster. In eight years 48,000 of them have been sold to optimistic Brits determined to make the most of every moment of weak sunshine. Astonishingly, ...

Bentley Continental GTC (2006) CAR review

3.5

Alisdair Suttie, 09 October 2006 09:00

Ah, a convertible version of the Continental GT coupe. Hollywood housewives and the French riveria will be delighted. Yup, it's the open top Continental, the GTC. A Crewe cut was always part of the GT model family, even if the cabrio has required some thorough engineering to create. Losing the coupe's roof required additional strengthening to sills, cross-braces for the ...

BMW M6 Convertible (2006) CAR review

Ben Barry, 25 September 2006 00:01

What's this, an even more expensive BMW M6? It certainly is. At £86,400 the convertible costs nearly £5k more than the regular M6 coupe. Yes, it’s a premium price, but BMW has done the sums and knows there is a customer base, typically 45-year-old males doing rather well for themselves. The UK’s 2006 allocation of 80 cars has already sold ...

Porsche 911 Targa 4S (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 21 September 2006 08:00

A 911 Targa? It’s just a Carrera with a super-size sunroof isn’t it? Pretty much. But it’s been a staple of the 911 range since the first appeared in the mid sixties. Back then it was a solution to the problem of offering a convertible at a time when it looked like roll-over conscious America might ban traditional soft tops. ...

Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet TDCi CC-2 (2006) CAR review

2.5

Peter Burgess, 20 September 2006 10:00

Yawn! Another coupe-cabrio! We've had hundreds of them in 2006... Ford might be talking about the way forward, but it's pretty backward when it comes to spotting emerging market segments. It was late with common-rail diesel technology, late with its C-Max mid-size MPV and now it's the last of four big coupe-cabrios to be launched this year (following the VW ...

Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe (2006) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 18 September 2006 07:27

Finally, a folding tin top that looks great and isn’t a Mercedes. Amen to that. Although the MX-5 is in a market of about one now that the MR2, Smart Roadster and MGF have vacated the two-seater arena, Mazda reckons that loads of potential buyers have been put off by the conventional soft hood. The Roadster Coupe doesn’t replace the ...

VW Eos 2.0T (2006) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 31 July 2006 10:36

A drop top VW - how desirable. I take it the people's convertible is back? Yes and no. True, the Eos is from the people's car maker and it effectively replaces the old Golf cabriolet. But that was a no frills soft top, so archaic it needed a big basket handle over the passenger compartment, to boost rigidity and hold up ...

Lotus Elise S (2006) CAR review

Angus Fitton, 31 July 2006 05:04

I'm stumped. It looks exactly the same as the Elise R, so why's it here? When Rover died the entry level, K-Series-powered Elise went with it along with a loyal customer base that couldn't stretch to a whopping £29,945 (in basic trim) for the Toyota-powered 'R'. Meet the 'S', the new entry level Elise. It's £6000 cheaper than the 'R' ...

Alfa Romeo Spider 3.2 V6 (2007) CAR review

Gavin Green, 31 July 2006 03:50

Just look at it. This has to be one of the sexiest cars on the road - regardless of price. Another beguilingly beautiful new Alfa Romeo, sparkling in the hot Italian summer sun... Pretty thing, isn't it? Pininfarina style, handsomely stitched soft leather upholstery, enticing black-and-aluminium cabin, doubly welcoming because the new Spider has no roof and that drop top ...

Volvo C70 T5 SE Lux (2006) CAR review

Angus Fitton, 24 July 2006 04:24

Ah, a convertible. One for the hairdressers or a car that's hair-raising to drive? The jelly-like first generation C70 convertible was a Nicky Clarke special: it looked good and had a decent stereo but wobbled like a dinghy in a typhoon. The new C70 is a very different beast to its predecessor, which was sold as both a fixed-head coupe ...
