VW Polo 1.2 TDI Bluemotion (2010) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 18 May 2009 16:29

Europe’s greenest car will be blue. Volkswagen’s Polo Bluemotion, which goes on sale in May 2010, will exhale just 87g of carbon dioxide for every kilometre you drive, and return up to 85.6mpg. That’s cleaner than the Pope’s freshly laundered robes, and makes the saintly Toyota Prius and Honda Insight hybrids – both the wrong side of 100g/km – look ...

VW Golf GTI Mk6 (2009) new CAR review

Ben Barry, 07 April 2009 10:39

The old Mk5 GTI might have had its thunder stolen by the Focus RS, Megane R26R and perhaps even the Civic Type R, but it was still the best all-round hot hatch you could buy when it recently went off sale. And that – combined with the fact that the new Mk6 is essentially a very thoroughly facelifted Mk5 – ...

VW Sharan Bluemotion/Seat Alhambra Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 01 January 2009 09:00

It’s taken Volkswagen and Seat a while to trickle down their respective environment-focused Bluemotion and Ecomotive badges to their large MPVs, the Sharan and Alhambra. That tells you all you need to know about the pecking order at VAG. The truth is that in their current guise these are two cars approaching the automotive equivalent of the old folks’ home. ...

VW Scirocco GT (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 16 June 2008 10:00

Volkswagen has finally launched its new Scirocco coupe and CAR has tested the first production versions. Anthony ffrench-Constant reviews the new Scirocco and wonders why it has taken VW so long to get around to a Mk3… Perhaps VW has simply been too busy frantically filling every other market segment it could identify, including some its customers clearly failed to. ...

VW Passat R36 (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 29 May 2008 11:09

This is Volkswagen’s most powerful production Passat yet - the new R36, a car that trumps the last generation’s unloved W8 in the power stakes. Big deal, you might think, but bear with us. For £30,990 you get a 3.6-litre V6 churning out 295bhp and 258lb ft, four-wheel drive versatility and subtly imposing styling. What sets the VW Passat R36 apart visually? ...

VW Passat CC (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 11 April 2008 22:58

No, the VW Passat CC isn't a folding tin-top elder bother for the Eos... Nomenclature connotations of Coupe/Cabriolet are entirely misleading. CC first stood for Concept Coupe when the show car was revealed and, as the real deal hits the streets in summer 2008, actually stands for, um, Comfort Coupe. Only in Germany…VW has done to the Passat exactly what ...

VW Golf 1.4 TSI 7spd DSG (2008) CAR review

Jesse Crosse, 28 January 2008 16:26

If you subscribe to the theory that more is better, then you’ll like this. VW has just announced the latest version of its groundbreaking DSG dual-clutch gearbox with seven gears instead of six. It’s designed for smaller engine cars of up to 168bhp and 184lb ft torque, leaving the original six-speed launched in 2003 for the heftier end of 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 ...
