Mini Roadster Cooper S (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

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 ...

Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 VTI GT (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

Aston Martin DB9 Volante (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 18 May 2011 10:29

I remember it well. A glorious summer’s day, I was still in my 20s and somebody casually threw me the keys to the Aston Martin DB9 Volante parked outside. ‘Try it,’ they said. Then I headed out onto a road I knew well, roof down, firing through the gears with the big paddles that operate the smooth Touchtronic ‘box. I ...

Porsche 911 Speedster (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 25 November 2010 12:45

This is Porsche’s new 911 Speedster, a limited-edition special that pays tribute to the original 356 Speedster. It’s also an open-top follow up to last year’s 911 Sport Classic, a 25th birthday present for Porsche Exclusive (the arm of Porsche that created the Sport Classic and Speedster) and a final hurrah for the current 997-generation 911. More powerful with a ...

Nissan 370Z Roadster (2010) long-term test

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Phil McNamara, 14 October 2010 09:08

Why the 370Z needs to be driven hard – 14 October 2010 With 326bhp available under your right plimsoll, the Z roadster is hardly a car for the meek and mild. But if you were ever in any doubt, the short throw, notchy gearbox screams at you to treat it keenly.  After five minutes driving it, the Roadster made a ...

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 07 April 2010 10:30

Hmm. A straight set of four stars. Like getting all Bs in your GCSEs. You sure? You’re saying the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is a good all-rounder, a Mr Safe-Hands, rather than at the edgy end of party-in-the-pants brilliance? Well, not quite. But read on. Really? The new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet only gets four stars for performance? 0-62mph in ...

Mercedes E250 CGI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

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 ...

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 ...

Infiniti G37 Convertible (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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.  ...

Lexus IS 250C (2009) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Nick Trott, 25 June 2009 11:02

Depending on your point of view, the new Lexus IS 250C is either very slinky and attractive and full of lovely designer-speak ‘arrowhead’ shapes – or it is an absolute ug. And we mean this literally. It’s quite telling that all the press shots for the IS 250C are shot from low-down; the point where the new car’s larger backside ...
