Mercedes SLK 250 (2011) CAR review

Mercedes SLK 250 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 08 March 2011 00:01

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SLK, the third generation  of Stuttgart’s folding hardtop sports car. Traditionally, 50-something females have been the SLK’s key demographic, but Mercedes is trying to shift the needle a little towards men. It’s a tricky brief : improve refinement and usability even further, while enhancing driving dynamics too.  But Mercedes is bullish: ‘We were surprised when ...

Mercedes E250 CDI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Mercedes E250 CDI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

BMW Z4 sDrive35i (2009) CAR review

BMW Z4 sDrive35i (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 19 March 2009 23:00

It says something that the first-generation BMW Z4 is already off-sale, yet it still looks ahead of its time, and is still fun to drive. The second-generation model, then, has quite an act to follow. CAR has just driven it, in twin turbo 35i trim – a 23i and 30i are also available – and we can report that it’s a very ...

Audi A5 2.0 TDI Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Audi A5 2.0 TDI Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 09 March 2009 12:26

While we’ve all been fussing and fawning over the new Audi S5 Cabriolet, it’s not actually that relevant – just 250-300 are expected to be sold in the UK each year. Instead it’ll be the 2.0-litre petrol and diesels that’ll take 80% of the (hoped for) 5500 sales, split 50:50. It’s the 2.0-litre diesel we’ve tried here, because it’s the ...

Lotus Elise SC (2008) CAR review

Lotus Elise SC (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 10 January 2008 11:02

We’ve been subjected to some rather tenuous special edition Elises in the past, but this is a bit different. The fastest, most powerful production version of Lotus’s baby sports car yet, it’s essentially an Elise R (formerly the 111R, now renamed) fitted with a supercharger to provide an extra 28bhp. So it’s got the engine from the Exige S? If ...

BMW 335i (2007) Convertible CAR review

BMW 335i (2007) Convertible CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 24 January 2007 09:50

That can’t be a coupe-cabrio! Where’s the huge backside, the stupid wedgy profile and enormously overlong windscreen? It certainly is a CC - BMW’s first ever in fact – although you’re right, it doesn’t look anywhere near as frumpy as a Peugeot 307 CC or Focus CC. How has BMW managed that? The steel top folds into three sections (two ...
