Skoda Citigo 1.0 Elegance (2012) CAR review

2.5

Ollie Kew, 31 May 2012 10:01

We're told the best things come in small packages, three is a magic number, and off the back of the Yeti and Superb, Skoda is on a roll at the moment. So the new Skoda Citigo, the Volkswagen group's third and final iteration of its new Up city car platform, should be rather good. We drove the lowest powered version, resplendent in top-of-the-range Citigo 1.0 ...

VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 02 February 2012 10:00

This is the Volkswagen Up, a little city car we’ve been excited about ever since the first rear-engined and rear-wheel drive concept was unveiled in 2007. Alas a layout akin to the original people’s car (the Beetle) proved too expensive to develop in the 21st century, so the production car is standard urban runabout fare – i.e. front-engined and front-wheel ...

Fiat Panda 0.9 TwinAir (2012) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 27 January 2012 11:03

This is Fiat’s third-generation Panda, which goes on UK sale in February 2012. Fiat has buffed up interior quality and features over the outgoing car’s, and plumbed in the TwinAir two-cylinder turbo engine, which was the version we drove. This being a city car and us being CAR magazine, we perversely took the Panda as far from its natural habitat ...

Seat Mii 1.0 SE (74bhp) 2011 CAR review

Tim Pollard, 29 November 2011 09:06

Seat's not built a city car since the Arosa (itself twinned with the VW Lupo). Now history's repeating itself, with the simultaneous launches of the VW Up, Seat Mii and Skoda Citigo. Here we review one of the toppier Seat Mii models, the higher-powered 74bhp in what should equate to a UK-bound SE spec. Buying a Mii is a simple ...

Kia Picanto 1.25 5dr (2011) CAR review

2.5

Ben Barry, 08 April 2011 00:01

This is the new Kia Picanto, the Korean brand’s A-segment supermini. Back for its second generation, the new Picanto wears the current Kia styling courtesy of Peter Schreyer's design team. The Kia Picanto is available in three- and five-door body styles, and comes with a choice of three petrol engines: a pair of three-cylinder engines, one of which can run on LPG or petrol, and ...

Fiat 500 Twinair (2011) CAR review

Greg Fountain, 18 January 2011 08:03

The Fiat 500 TwinAir is a fascinating prospect. This is the point where Fiat’s kitsch reworking of its iconic 1950s city car elevates itself to a new level of 21st century relevance. The TwinAir engine tested here is, according to Fiat, ‘the greenest petrol engine in the world’, yet it features no batteries, EV trickery or hybrid drivetrain. It’s just ...

Smart Fortwo Electric Drive (2012) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 24 September 2010 13:03

As mentioned at the close of my recent Sark-astic experience (see CAR Magazine, August 2010), there’s nothing quite like a drastic downturn in fortune to promote radical re-evaluation. In the context of my Smart Fortwo Electric Drive on Guernsey, then, I found myself rather less preoccupied with the island’s performance parity inducing blanket 35mph speed limit than the fact that ...

Tata Nano (2009) new CAR test review

Amit Chhangani, 23 March 2009 16:09

At last we’ve driven the new Tata Nano. The world’s cheapest car is launched today in India – and CAR was there to bag a drive in the new Nano that’s rocked our very notion of affordable transport for the masses. It’s a car that creates huge interest, especially on the crowded streets of India. Not bad for a car ...

Tata Nano CAR review: first riding impressions

3.5

Ben Oliver, 08 December 2008 14:37

The new Tata Nano costs as much as a scooter, so can it really drive like a proper car? This is the question we’ve all been asking since news first leaked that the Indian firm was planning to rewrite the automotive rules with a £1300 car. And now, exclusively, CAR can tell you. We travelled to India and scored the ...

Ford Ka Zetec (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 29 October 2008 00:01

We’re so accustomed to six-year model cycles that the 12 years it’s taken Ford to come up with the second generation Ka is scarcely believable. But the new Ka is here – and now CAR Online has finally driven it. Read on for our full review. This new Ford Ka looks like a three-door Vauxhall Corsa in a fairground mirror! ...
