Mini Coupe Cooper SD (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 16 May 2012 12:50

We switch our Mini Coupe off its run-flats on to ‘normal’ tyres. Does it improve the ride? - 16 May 2012 Everyone that has been a passenger in the Mini has quickly commented on how hard and unyielding the ride is. Yes, I know the Coupe is pitched as the sportiest model in the Mini range after the hotshoe GP, ...

Saab 9-5 2.0 TTiD Aero (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 20 March 2012 12:01

The final good-bye - 20 March 2012 Finally, after a delay of nearly three months, Saab’s administrators turn up to reclaim our long-term test car This is the last will and testament of Saab 9-5, registration OV11 EKR. I’ve written about this car more than any long-term test car I’ve ever driven, and it’s probable that all of us – ...

Mercedes C250 CDI Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 06 October 2011 14:05

The CLK is dead, the E-class Coupe has been pushed upmarket, and the CLC is a horrible old little hatchback. Which, until now, has left Mercedes without a rival for BMW’s 3-series Coupe and Audi’s A5 Coupe. Step forward the Mercedes C-class Coupe – which is all C-class unlike the E-class Coupe which uses parts from both the C- and ...

Peugeot RCZ 2.0 HDI 163 (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jethro Bovingdon, 15 March 2010 21:01

This is the new Peugeot RCZ coupé, a car with a huge weight of expectation on its incredibly broad shoulders. It is – yet again – an opportunity for Peugeot to get back to the sort of chassis dynamism that stole our hearts back in the ‘80s and early ‘90s with a string of seminal GTI hits including go-faster versions ...

Renault Laguna Coupe 2.0dCi GT long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 29 October 2009 10:30

Long-term test goodbye – 29 October 2009 I expected this departure to be a difficult one. The Laguna Coupe arrived with huge potential – great looks, trick steering, plenty of kit and punchy turbo diesel engine – but it was a huge sigh of relief rather than regret when the Renault finally went. Apart from a first-generation Mercedes A 140, which ...

Audi TT 2.0 TDI long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

the CAR road test team, 25 March 2009 09:00

Long-term update – 25 March 2009 Had a very interesting discussion with my wife yesterday about the TT. What surprised me was her opinion on the diesel engine. Having tooled around in the TT for a while, she has no doubt that if it was her money she was spending she would go for the TT diesel every time – ...

BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 10 November 2008 09:30

The Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe is a 3-series BMW really should make. To create it Alpina, the Buchloe-based tuner, tweaker and BMW bedfellow takes a regular 3-series coupe. It then drops in the twin-turbo diesel engine from a 123d, makes a few changes and the result is an engine with more bhp per litre than any other BMW road car.But ...

Renault Laguna Coupe 3.0 V6 dCi (2008) CAR review, video

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Guy Bird, 22 October 2008 10:48

The Renault Laguna Coupe is the best-looking car the recently ‘design-troubled’ French brand has produced for years. That might not be such an achievement given Renault’s current line-up, but nonetheless, the new four-seater coupe is a very positive addition to a market that demands beauty above all else. By comparison the Peugeot 407 Coupe seems plain ugly and even the ...

Mercedes CLC 220 CDI (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Christopher Hubbard, 11 June 2008 10:00

Previously the C-class Sports Coupe, now the Mercedes-Benz CLC, this is the junior coupe in the three-pointed star’s line-up. Some 1100 modifications underline the change to the bootbadge. But is the CLC really anything more than a pretty new face? If it is, in fact, even that… Pretty new face? Looks like someone’s beaten the Merc CLC with an ugly tree ...

Audi TT 2.0 TDI (2008) driven CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 29 April 2008 16:17

The Audi TT TDI. Is this oil-burner from Audi another Ingolstadt niche? Or a svelte coupe and cabriolet with low-end grunt, low emissions and decent fuel consumption? A few critics of Audi's blunderbuss new model programme worry it's another box ticked so the company can out-offer the opposition. And worse than that, perhaps Audi is offering something no one really ...
