Citroen DS3 Cabrio THP 155 (2013) CAR review

2.5

Ollie Kew, 18 April 2013 11:00

Citroen's new DS3 Cabrio is squarely aimed at the chic drop-top city car crowd, who've only had the Mini Convertible and Fiat 500C to woo them up until now. Does the French contender have the je ne sais quoi needed to take class honours? We drove the hot 1.6 THP 155 version to find out. It’s the £19,680 flagship of ...

Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 VTI GT (2011) CAR review

2.5

Mark Hamilton, 21 June 2011 07:00

The Peugeot 207 CC is the survivor of the supermini hardtop convertible class. Whilst the Daihatsu Copen, Nissan Micra C+C and Vauxhall Tigra have left new car price lists, the 207 has continued in production, selling almost 148,000 units worldwide between 2007 and 2010. In the meantime the funsize convertible market has welcomed a pair of retro rivals (the Mini ...

Renault Wind Roadster (2010) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 01 July 2010 22:00

The Renault Wind has caused quite a lot of excitement in the CAR office, and not (as you might be thinking) because it gives us a legitimate excuse to make flatulence-based puns. Silly name aside, the Wind is a good looking little coupe-convertible, with a clever flipping roof and a chassis tuned by Renaultsport. Add in competitive pricing – the ...

Mini Convertible Cooper S (2009) CAR review

3.5

Greg Fountain, 28 January 2009 10:00

All style and no substance? You could be forgiven for thinking so, but BMW values its reputation for dynamic excellence very highly, and the Mini has much to live up to. So don’t be too surprised to hear how good the Cooper S Convertible is, both as a driver’s car and as an increasingly neatly packaged piece of niche marketing. ...

Mazda MX-5 2.0 (2009) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 31 October 2008 11:17

This is Mazda’s new 2009 MX-5 – and in a world exclusive, CAR has driven the facelifted MX-5 seven months ahead of its UK debut to bring you the first road test of what is still the world’s most popular sports car. The news is all good… The facelifted Mazda MX-5 looks pretty much the same. What's new? Visually, the ...

MG TF LE500 (2008) CAR review

Guy Bird, 29 August 2008 09:38

You can buy a British-made MG again. The TF LE500 – a heavily re-worked special edition of the well-loved original sportscar – is now rolling off Longbridge’s production lines for £16,399, packed with extras like leather seats and iPod compatibility, plus EU4 engine emissions compliancy. The 500-run limited edition is already 80 percent sold and more importantly, it spearheads the start ...

Peugeot 207 CC (2007) driven CAR review

Peter Burgess, 07 February 2007 03:08

The Peugeot 207 looks the same as the 206 CC. A bit unimaginative, isn’t it? Peugeot thinks style is a major selling factor, so the genes of the earlier 206 are obvious. The company could be accused of playing safe, but it knows this market very well indeed. The 207 is already selling nicely in hatchback form so why try ...

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 ...

VW Eos 2.0T (2006) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 31 July 2006 10:36

A drop top VW - how desirable. I take it the people's convertible is back? Yes and no. True, the Eos is from the people's car maker and it effectively replaces the old Golf cabriolet. But that was a no frills soft top, so archaic it needed a big basket handle over the passenger compartment, to boost rigidity and hold up ...
