Audi RS5 Cabriolet (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 30 January 2013 09:40

The weight of expectation hung heavy over the RS5 when it was launched in 2010. After the RS4 saloon had come oh-so-close to beating the M3, Quattro GmbH’s first RS coupe had all the potential to finally best the BMW. But despite a cracking naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, a quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox and UK-friendly four-wheel drive, the RS5 took a ...

Mini Roadster Cooper S (2012) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 31 January 2012 09:00

This is the new Mini Roadster, and it’s the penultimate Mini model (the Countryman-based Paceman arrives in 2013) before a whole new range of baby Brits start to appear in 2014. The Roadster is a mix of what we already know, combining the more rakish windscreen of 2011’s controversial Coupe with the drop-top body of the Convertible. Is it any ...

Saab 9-3 Convertible Aero 2.0t (2011) CAR review

2.5

Stephen Worthy, 21 June 2011 10:55

The automotive equivalent of Last Of The Summer Wine it may be, but Saab’s long-running ‘family’ cabriolet can rightly lay claim to being the daddy of the modern compact exec-based convertible genre. Saab’s shifted 300,000 cabrios since the 900 convertible appeared in 1986, but is its aging 9-3 cabrio still a valid player in the face of newer, more advanced ...

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 ...

BMW Z4 sDrive 35iS (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 06 April 2011 09:00

The current E89 BMW Z4 won’t spawn an M version. For some that will be a disappointment, but the rest of us are rejoicing because instead BMW’s M Division is readying a sub-M3, the 1-series M Coupe. That means the hottest Z4 is this, the sDrive 35iS, whose engine will power the 1-serie M Coupe, but actually costs £5290 more ...

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 ...

Mercedes E250 CGI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Ben Barry, 30 March 2010 10:30

With the CLK convertible out of the Mercedes line-up, the four-seat soft-top niche is filled by this, the E-class Cabriolet. We’re driving the E250 CGI. What’s the spec of the new Mercedes E250 CGI Cabriolet? The CGI part tells us we’re driving a direct-injection petrol turbo. The 250 bit means this is the 1.8-litre turbo that’s good for 201bhp and ...

Infiniti G37 Convertible (2009) CAR review

2.5

Greg Fountain, 27 November 2009 11:07

When you clear away the caveats, the G37 convertible is an expensive 3-series cabrio rival made in Japan. And for all the smoke and mirrors deployed by Nissan in the cause of inventing an upmarket brand for Europe with ambitions of Rolls-like exclusivity, it can only be judged against what’s out there. And what’s out there is the 3-series chop-top. ...

Aston Martin DBS Volante (2009) CAR review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 26 September 2009 12:30

Can you have a supercar too far? Not according to Aston Martin. The good folk of Gaydon aren't afraid to fill each and every niche with sports and supercars of every persuasion and nuance. They'll do you a V8 in open or closed form, oriented to comfort or slinging around the Nurburgring. They'll even do a V8 with a V12, ...

Alfa Romeo 8C Spider (2009) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 17 July 2009 09:09

If you were disappointed at having missed out on one of Alfa’s 500 8C Competizione coupés, here’s more bad news: you’ve missed out on the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider too. Another 500 will be made, with 35 coming to the UK, but they’ve all been reserved. Then again, you might be relieved at having missed out when you see the ...
