Citroen DS3 Cabrio THP 155 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

Jaguar F-type V8 S (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Mark Walton, 17 April 2013 09:30

This is the Jaguar F-type, in top-spec V8 S guise. Its supercharged V8 engine sends 488bhp to the rear wheels, giving the £75k F-type the performance of a £100k XKR-S. But can the F-type live up to the best sports cars In the class - and its legendary E-type ancestor? Read on for the CAR verdict. Give me some more ...

VW Beetle Cabriolet 2.0 TSI (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Greg Pajo), 14 March 2013 09:00

VW’s range already boasts two drop-tops:  the Golf Cabriolet and folding hard-top Eos. Now, the retro-styled VW Beetle joins the convertible contingent, and CAR has driven it in 2.0-litre Turbo guise to see how it stacks up. Clearly hoping that we winter-weary, Vitamin D-starved Brits would burn ourselves silly and write deludedly nice things while suffering a bout of sunstroke, ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Porsche Boxster

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Barry (photography by Charlie Magee), 26 February 2013 11:00

Want a Porsche for the least money possible? You want a Boxster. You can snap them up from just £5k now. We’re now onto the third-gen Boxster, and everything from the earliest Mk1s to the earliest Mk2s are on the menu if you’ve got £10k or less to spend. Guide me through the Mk1 Boxster range Even those early Mk1s ...

Audi RS5 Cabriolet (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

McLaren 12C Spider (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 23 November 2012 12:15

As ‘my’ 12C sparkles in the Spanish sunshine it’s at first difficult to establish that this is the Spider. Rivals from Lambo and Audi favour fabric roofs, but, like key competitor Ferrari, the team from Woking has opted for a folding hardtop, so the 12C can be a roadster when the roof is down and look and feel like a ...

Mazda MX-5 GT (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 21 August 2012 14:00

Talk about stealing the limelight: so much has the focus been on the new Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ twins that just about everyone has forgotten about one key alternative, the Mazda MX-5. Now Mazda UK are hoping to put at stop to all that, with this MX-5 GT concept. A production car would be preferable, surely… Well, hopefully that’s ...

Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 26 June 2012 10:24

Unlike Volkswagen, who once wheeled out Le Mans 24 Hours legend Jackie Ickx as their new ambassador at a Jetta launch on the somewhat spurious basis that he, erm, keeps a Caravelle camper van at his home in South Africa, Mercedes-Benz can lay a rather more genuine claim to a working relationship with Stirling Moss. Moss, relentlessly lauded as the ...

Bentley Azure (CAR Magazine, May 2007: Bentley to Arctic Circle)

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Oliver, 19 June 2012 10:01

Not gonna crash this car. I am not going to crash this car. I am not going to have my most expensive and probably final accident at 30 bloody miles per hour. But not having the accident is easier said than done when I’m 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, three days and 1200 miles into the craziest road ...

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 15 June 2012 09:25

This is the Bugatti Veyron Vitesse. Or to give it its full name: the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. It’s the ultimate Veyron, mixing the targa-roofed (and reinforced) body of the Grand Sport with the upgraded 1183bhp engine from the world record-breaking Super Sport. It’s yours for £1.6m. 1183bhp? In a convertible Bugatti Veyron? Are you sure? Yes we ...
