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 ...

Volvo C70 2.0D SE CAR review

Anonymous, 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 ...

Fisker Tramonto CAR review

Anonymous, 08 August 2007 12:36

What’s this, a secret new Aston? No, but it’s not a bad guess. This is, in fact, a high-quality makeover based on the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG. Make that high-quality and expensive, because once you’ve forked out £100k for the base car, you’ll have to hand over a further $140,000 to get it looking like this. The result is the Fisker ...

Daihatsu Copen CAR review

Anonymous, 02 May 2007 09:51

But this looks just like the last Copen? What's new about it? The latest incarnation of the cheap 'n' cheerful little roadster from Daihatsu hasn't changed at all on the outside apart from an '80's-style 911 rear spoiler; what's important is under the quirky skin of this, the cheapest proper roadster on sale today. Out goes the old 660cc screamer, ...

Peugeot 207 CC driven CAR review

Anonymous, 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 ...

Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet TDCi CC-2 CAR review

Anonymous, 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 ...

VW Eos 2.0T CAR review

Anonymous, 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 ...

Alfa Romeo Spider 3.2 V6 CAR review

Anonymous, 31 July 2006 03:50

Just look at it. This has to be one of the sexiest cars on the road - regardless of price. Another beguilingly beautiful new Alfa Romeo, sparkling in the hot Italian summer sun... Pretty thing, isn't it? Pininfarina style, handsomely stitched soft leather upholstery, enticing black-and-aluminium cabin, doubly welcoming because the new Spider has no roof and that drop top ...

Volvo C70 T5 SE Lux CAR review

Anonymous, 24 July 2006 04:24

Ah, a convertible. One for the hairdressers or a car that's hair-raising to drive? The jelly-like first generation C70 convertible was a Nicky Clarke special: it looked good and had a decent stereo but wobbled like a dinghy in a typhoon. The new C70 is a very different beast to its predecessor, which was sold as both a fixed-head coupe ...
