Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

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 ...

Jaguar XK 5.0 Convertible (2009) first drive

Jaguar XK 5.0 Convertible (2009) first drive

Rated 3 out of 53

Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the ever-so-subtle facelift that identifies the latest Jaguar XK Convertible: reprofiled front bumpers, mirrors with integrated LED indicators, new rear valance, LED tail lights and colour-coded side vents. A bit less subtle is the direct-injection 5.0-litre V8, up from 4.2 litres and with matching respective 26% and 23% boosts to power and torque. Put simply, ...

Peugeot 308CC 2.0 HDi (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 20 February 2009 11:00

Back in 2000, there were only two coupe-cabrios, and the Peugeot 206CC was one of them. Now there are 14 and Peugeot continues to lead the market by building two. The 308CC is the latest, taking over from the old 307, and acting as bigger brother to the baby 207CC – which outsells the second best-selling VW Eos across Europe ...

BMW 120i SE Convertible (2008) driven CAR review

BMW 120i SE Convertible (2008) driven CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Remember when the BMW 3-series convertible had a fabric roof? It wasn’t always an upmarket folding tin-top. So a gap’s opened up beneath it. A gap that’s a perfect fit for a smart and decently engineered rag-top that’s just about big enough to squeeze your kids in the back. Enter the BMW 1-series Convertible. Hang on. £25k? Sounds a bit ...

Volvo C70 2.0D SE (2008) CAR review

Volvo C70 2.0D SE (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Glen Waddington, 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 ...
