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. ...

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 ...

Audi S3 (2006) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 31 August 2006 07:56

Hot hatch So the fast A3 returns. What’s the story this time? It’s the same basic recipe: turbocharged four-pot motor and Haldex four-wheel drive system, a great cabin and a price that makes it appear suspiciously poor value beside a couple of other Volkswagen-group cars. The old S3 was always aware of its place below the TT in the hierarchy. ...

Lexus LS460 (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 15 August 2006 08:56

A new LS? What happened to the traditional Merc hand-me-down styling? Lexus wanted to create a real identity for this one, so the 460 looks like a scaled up GS. Not unique but recognisably a Lexus and reasonably handsome in a bland Japanese fashion. It certainly looks much happier on the optional 19-inch rims than the standard 18s which are ...

Aston Martin DB9 Sports Pack (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 02 August 2006 09:32

A special edition Aston, I thought that stuff was reserved for run-out Corsas. You've got the wrong end of the stick, the Sports Pack is an option for Aston owners who prefer to zoom than dawdle. The DB9 has always been a great looking car but sadly it’s never been as good to drive as to look at. The ride ...

Ferrari F599 GTB Fiorano (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 31 July 2006 03:02

That name's a bit of a mouthful. What's it all about? It's the replacement for the much-loved but dull-looking 575, a two-seat coupe based on the four-place 612 Scaglietti. The numbers refer to the capacity of the V12 (5999cc) and Fiorano is the name of company's Maranello test-track where its road and race cars are developed. So what are headlines? ...

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 28 July 2006 12:11

Sport GT? Explain please? Maserati has expanded its big saloon range, adding two new models to sit alongside the regular Quattroporte: the luxury-angled Executive GT and the performance-focused Sport GT. The Executive gets a chrome-finished grille and 19" rims, Allegro Vanden Plas-influenced retractable wood tables and even privacy curtains. I've never really bought into the privacy curtain craze. Indeed. So ...

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 3.2 V6 (2007) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 28 July 2006 07:28

159? Looks like a facelifted 156? If that were true it would be the worst facelift since Burt Reynolds' went Asian last year. Actaully it's not unattractive, it's just that the 156 was so gorgeous. And it's not a facelift anyway, the '9' signifies that it sits on a new platform. The Sportwagon has a whiff of 'lifestyle' about it. ...

Audi S6 (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 26 July 2006 10:25

After the rapturous reception given to the brilliant new RS4 we've got high hopes for the S6. As well you might. All the ingredients are there: V10 Lamborghini engine, grippy Torsen four-wheel drive transmission, special 19-inch rims, four tailpipes and various S6 and V10 badges dotted around. There are even daytime LED lights mounted beneath the headlights - one for ...

BMW 335i Coupe (2006) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 25 July 2006 05:32

A new engine for the ubiquitous 3-series? A new body too. This is the coupe version of the 3-series saloon that hit showrooms in 2005. But BMW wanted to create a big bang for the launch of the two-door, so it decided to unveil its new twin-turbo straight six at the same time. Wasn't BMW a pioneer of turbocharging road ...
