Mercedes E250 CDI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 22 March 2010 12:13

All is not what it seems in Mercville these days. Take the new E-class Coupé and Cabriolet twins. They wear the proud E-class badge, yet strip away the verisimilitude and you'll spot the guts and garters from the C-class and E-class parts cupboards. But those looks are 100% new E, and we'd have to admit the new E-class convertible is ...

VW Bluesport concept (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 23 June 2009 11:30

Since its launch 20 years ago the Mazda MX-5 has effectively ruled a class of one, but, finally, two decades on, it may have a challenger. At the start of 2009 at the Detroit motor show, VW unveiled the Bluesport concept, a two-seat mid-engined roadster that’s scheduled to go on sale in early 2012 for around £20k. What's more, the concept ...

Audi A5 2.0 TDI Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 09 March 2009 12:26

While we’ve all been fussing and fawning over the new Audi S5 Cabriolet, it’s not actually that relevant – just 250-300 are expected to be sold in the UK each year. Instead it’ll be the 2.0-litre petrol and diesels that’ll take 80% of the (hoped for) 5500 sales, split 50:50. It’s the 2.0-litre diesel we’ve tried here, because it’s the ...

Peugeot 308CC 2.0 HDi (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 20 February 2009 11:00

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 ...

Volvo C70 2.0D SE (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Glen Waddington, 04 January 2008 11:52

Volvo launched the C70 with a USP: it was the world’s first four-seat premium convertible with a retractable steel roof. It’s a questionable claim. Is a Volvo that shares much of its underpinnings with a Ford Focus truly premium? Hmm. And, even if it was the first, it’s no longer the only. BMW’s 3-series convertible is a real alternative. Why ...

Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet TDCi CC-2 (2006) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Peter Burgess, 20 September 2006 10:00

Yawn! Another coupe-cabrio! We've had hundreds of them in 2006... Ford might be talking about the way forward, but it's pretty backward when it comes to spotting emerging market segments. It was late with common-rail diesel technology, late with its C-Max mid-size MPV and now it's the last of four big coupe-cabrios to be launched this year (following the VW ...
