VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

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

Fiat Panda 0.9 TwinAir (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

Fiat 500 Twinair (2011) CAR review

Fiat 500 Twinair (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

Th!nk City (2009) electric CAR review

Th!nk City (2009) electric CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

James Foxall, 25 August 2009 10:53

Bespoke electric cars like the Th!nk City that don’t look like they’re on the run from the local golf course are thin on the ground. The Norwegian battery car specialist is keen to ensure electric derivatives of regular cars such as the Mitsubishi i-MIEV and Mini E don’t have it all their own way by tapping into buyers who’re put ...

Toyota iQ 1.0 (2009) CAR review

Toyota iQ 1.0 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 02 September 2008 11:18

The new Toyota iQ is a landmark car: the world's soon-to-be-biggest car maker has gone and made the world's smallest four-seater. You see, the iQ packs two rows of pews into a tiny slip of a hatchback. It's not even three metres long. But the Toyota iQ has a twist; like Smart's Fortwo, the last car to rip up the ...

Smart Fortwo Brabus (2007) CAR review

Smart Fortwo Brabus (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Richard Aucock, 17 September 2007 09:00

The world’s fastest rollerskate is back, then? From spring 2008, yes. And those mentalists at Brabus have gone and made it even faster, too – by giving it 30 per cent more power. 30 per cent! Now it warbles out 98bhp with half-a-911-timbre, reaches 62mph (after a couple of nodding-dog gearchanges) in 9.9secs. And goes to – whoa – 95mph ...
