Peugeot 308 GT THP 200 (2011) CAR review

Peugeot 308 GT THP 200 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Chris Chilton, 13 May 2011 10:29

‘In these modern times where comfort and convenience are becoming more important than ultimate performance, the Peugeot 308 GT THP 200 ticks all the boxes,’ says the worrying press release. So did Peugeot itself once again choose not to affix the i after G and T? Or did the i refuse to get involved point blank once it had seen ...

Subaru WRX STI (2011) CAR review

Subaru WRX STI (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 25 March 2011 09:00

Subaru ditched the hot saloon template for fast Imprezas in favour of a hot hatch version in 2008, but now it’s back. This four-door WRX STI doesn’t replace the hatch but joins it in the range in an effort to boost flagging sales. Does it recapture that old Scooby magic, or is this the last gasp of the Japanese nutter ...

Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 (2011) CAR review

Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Suzuki is evaluating the Kizashi for UK sale. This is the first D-sector, family car entrant from Suzuki, which has historically specialised in small cars and rugged, good-value SUVs. Can the Suzuki Kizashi really tempt us out of our Mondeos and Insignias? Suzuki GB has imported a Kizashi 2.4 Sport to the UK for evaluation with dealers and selected media. ...

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Volkswagen says the new 2011 Passat takes… Actually, can I just interrupt you there to say the Passat Mk7 isn't new, it’s a bloody facelift. New lights, new grille, Bob ist ihr onkel. Okay, so the new, seventh-gen VW Passat does use the same platform as the 2006 car, but Volkswagen claims that every panel is new. But it manages to look almost ...

Lexus IS-F (2010) new CAR review

Lexus IS-F (2010) new CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 18 October 2010 09:33

Now here’s a leftfield choice if ever there was one. The Lexus IS-F is a pleasingly alternative performance saloon and one that’s consequently rare as hen’s teeth viewed alongside the BMW M3, Mercedes C63 AMG and Audi (R)S4 set. Is its scarcity justified? We've just driven the 2010 IS-F ahead of a modest facelift for the 2011 model year. Cosmetically, ...

VW California SE 2.0 BiTDi (2010) CAR review

VW California SE 2.0 BiTDi (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Here at CAR we’re big fans of the VW California, having run one on long-term test for 12 months. And now Volkswagen has facelifted the California, grafting on the latest family face, outfitting its interior with the latest multimedia systems, and dropping the Amarok pick-up’s new twin-turbo engine under the bonnet. Think about it for a moment as well and ...

Ford Fusion Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Ford Fusion Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 27 July 2010 12:06

Before we get too confused, I’d like to make just one thing clear: we’re not talking about the UK Ford Fusion here – the Fiesta on stilts that’s driven only by OAPs. No, this is the US Ford Fusion, the large four-door saloon, and we’re testing it in hybrid guise. Shouldn’t it look a bit more, well, futuristic? Admittedly the ...

When can we buy the Vauxhall Ampera? February 2012 is the current on-sale date; ...

Renault Fluence ZE electric car (2012) prototype review

Renault Fluence ZE electric car (2012) prototype review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 07 June 2010 16:26

Renault - and partner firm Nissan - are leading the charge into electric cars and we've just tested the first conventional EV from La Regie: the new 2012 Fluence ZE. Left hand drive models land from June 2011 and right hookers for the UK arrive on these shores in 2012. How much will Renault's Fluence ZE cost? It's not fixed ...

Volvo S60 D5 (2010) CAR review

Volvo S60 D5 (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 24 May 2010 12:42

We're just back from driving the new Volvo S60 – we've now had a chance to drive the most popular diesels, the D3 and D5, as well as the range-topping T6 petrol. It's an important car for Volvo, the new S60. Tired of being also-rans with the 850 and S60, the Swedes are now aiming for a much sportier marketplace. ...
