Porsche Cayenne V6 Diesel (2009) CAR review

Porsche Cayenne V6 Diesel (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 24 February 2009 00:01

Porsche purists should look away now – this is the first drive of the company’s first-ever diesel production car. And it gets worse – the car in question isn’t a 911 with an oil-burning flat-six slung between the rear wheels. Rather, Porsche has fitted its first diesel engine – actually an Audi-derived unit in a (whisper it) vee-configuration – into ...

Peugeot 308CC 2.0 HDi (2009) CAR review

Peugeot 308CC 2.0 HDi (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Back in 2000, there were only two coupe-cabrios, and the Peugeot 206CC was one of them. Now there are 14 and Peugeot continues to lead the market by building two. The 308CC is the latest, taking over from the old 307, and acting as bigger brother to the baby 207CC – which outsells the second best-selling VW Eos across Europe ...

Ford Fiesta 1.25 (2009) CAR review

Ford Fiesta 1.25 (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ford expects the 1.4-litre petrol version of the Fiesta to be the best-seller. And that’s fine, but we’ve a sneaking suspicion you might be missing out on the sweet-spot in the Fiesta range. The best news is that it’ll actually cost you less too, both to buy and to run. Because we’re talking about the smallest engine in the range: ...

Ford Ka 1.3 TDCi (2009) CAR review

Ford Ka 1.3 TDCi (2009) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Glen Waddington, 05 February 2009 13:27

Ford’s just launched a diesel version of the new Ka. And why not? All the hardware was there for the taking because the Ka is based on the Fiat Panda/500 platform, so that’s where the engines come from too. This one’s a 1.3-litre common-rail turbodiesel with 74bhp, so it’s 7bhp up on the Fiesta’s PSA-sourced 1.4. The question is, will ...

BMW 530d/520d (2009) CAR review

BMW 530d/520d (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 27 January 2009 11:38

When faced with the all-new Mercedes E-class, the apparently new Audi A6 and Jaguar’s XF, it’s all too easy to forget about the executive saloon segment’s benchmark, the BMW 5-series. With a replacement due in 2010, we at CAR thought it time to reappraise the Five. Not least because CAR Online wasn’t around when the current 5-series was first launched, ...

Nissan Qashqai+2 1.5dCi (2009) CAR review

Nissan Qashqai+2 1.5dCi (2009) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Glen Waddington, 22 January 2009 10:00

Live for the unexpected. That’s Nissan’s slogan for the Qashqai. And what you might not expect is a 1.5-litre diesel engine where the 2.0-litre normally lives. This is a big car – the +2 is 211mm longer than the standard Qashqai and weighs 1604kg – so the newly introduced small engine might not be your first choice. Question is, should ...

Mazda 3 1.6 (2009) new CAR review

Mazda 3 1.6 (2009) new CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 21 January 2009 13:54

The Mazda 3 is very important to the Japanese manufacturer. Over 30% of the cars it sells are 3s and it’s shifted over 2 million of them since 2003. Now there’s a new one, with a stiffer chassis (albeit not a new one), new tech and much sharper looks. Can it compete with the new Golf, and Megane, not to ...

Hyundai i20 1.4 (2009) CAR review

Hyundai i20 1.4 (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 21 January 2009 09:23

The Hyundai i20 is the latest little car from the reinvigorated Korean company, following in the footsteps of the i10 and i30. It’s still built abroad (India, to be precise) but the i20 has been designed and engineered in Europe, offers such a decent level of standard kit that you’ll cough up thousands more on rivals, and it comes with ...

CAR Online reader Pagani1zonda takes a trip down memory lane in a 1976 Lancia Beta Monte Carlo. Read about his first drive from Perranporth to Playing in a classic Pininfarina design... My favourite garage was called Lancia Playing Place situated on the main A39 road from Truro to Falmouth in Cornwall. One day in 1976 I was driven from Perranporth ...

Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2008) CAR review

Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 25 December 2008 23:35

Audi’s dinked the A5’s old 1.8-litre base engine, and brought in this 2.0-litre turbo, that kicks off the range in 178bhp front-drive mode for £26,150. There’s also this 208bhp version, tested here with Quattro four-wheel drive. Great-looking car, the Audi A5. Is it great to drive too? The A5 is more than just a chopped-down A4. Take a peek behind ...
