Mini Roadster Cooper S (2012) CAR review

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 ...

BMW Z4 sDrive 35iS (2011) CAR review

BMW Z4 sDrive 35iS (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 06 April 2011 09:00

The current E89 BMW Z4 won’t spawn an M version. For some that will be a disappointment, but the rest of us are rejoicing because instead BMW’s M Division is readying a sub-M3, the 1-series M Coupe. That means the hottest Z4 is this, the sDrive 35iS, whose engine will power the 1-serie M Coupe, but actually costs £5290 more ...

Porsche 911 Speedster (2010) CAR review

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 ...

Ferrari California Stop&Start (2010) CAR review

Ferrari California Stop&Start (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 01 October 2010 07:00

Ferrari has just pulled the wraps off a revised version of the California at the 2010 Paris motor show, but CAR has already been to Italy to test this new model. What’s new about the new Ferrari California? It's the first Ferrari to have stop/start tech, and the new fuel saving system – along with a host of other green tech – was ...

Renault Wind Roadster (2010) CAR review

Renault Wind Roadster (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 01 July 2010 22:00

The Renault Wind has caused quite a lot of excitement in the CAR office, and not (as you might be thinking) because it gives us a legitimate excuse to make flatulence-based puns. Silly name aside, the Wind is a good looking little coupe-convertible, with a clever flipping roof and a chassis tuned by Renaultsport. Add in competitive pricing – the ...

Porsche Boxster Spyder (2010) CAR review

Porsche Boxster Spyder (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 03 December 2009 18:00

Is the new Porsche Boxster Spyder the best Boxster you can buy, or the worst? Rather than being a stickers and stripes special edition, or an expensive limited-run like the 911 Sport Classic, the Spyder joins the Boxster range as a third model. And it features some clever weight saving tech that cleaves 80 kilos from the kerbweight – at ...

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 ...

Audi S5 Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Audi S5 Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 24 February 2009 19:48

The Audi bandwagon moves on and its latest model is the new A5 Cabriolet. At one end of the scale you can have it with a goody-two-shoes 2.0-litre TDI (complete with stop/start technology), and at the other end is the rather rapid S5 tested here. In the switch from Coupe to Cabriolet, the S5 has ditched the 4.2-litre V8 for ...

Lotus 2-Eleven (2009) n/a CAR review

Lotus 2-Eleven (2009) n/a CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 26 January 2009 11:39

The Government hates the car, and whether that’s true (or whether they just like taxing the motorist), there’s no getting away from the fact that life on the road can be pretty hard. So we need to escape, yet supercars are big and unpractical and out of the reach of almost all of us. Thus the track car came into ...
