Mercedes C250 CDI Coupe (2011) CAR review

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Audi TT 2.0 TDI (2008) driven CAR review

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 ...

BMW 635d (2007) CAR review

BMW 635d (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 30 October 2007 09:00

A 635d? Hmm, potentially an interesting combo… Indeed. Mating the excellent twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel to BMW’s mildly-facelifted 6-Series Coupe and Cabriolet, creating (they say) the world’s first diesel GT 2+2, is something we’ve been anticipating with intrigue. The 282bhp unit has the same power as an ‘80s M 635 CSi, yet the 427lb ft of torque is over 10 percent ...

BMW 123d Coupe M Sport (2008) CAR review

BMW 123d Coupe M Sport (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 29 October 2007 03:28

We quite liked the BMW 135i, but the bulk of the 1-series Coupe sales will be diesel. How times change. The 120d boasts 177bhp (to think we thought a 1990s 325i, with 170bhp, was fast) but it’s the range-topper that’s the most interesting. The 123d, benefiting from BMW’s sequential twin turbo technology already seen on the 535d, boosts this 2.0-litre four ...

Audi A5 3.0 TDi (2007) CAR review

Audi A5 3.0 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 13 July 2007 02:13

Haven’t you driven the Audi A5 before? We have, but only in S5 guise, and not on UK roads. Back in April we drove the 354bhp V8 but that was Audi’s attempt to steal a little limelight from the BMW M3; now we’ve got behind the wheel of the 3.0-litre diesel. Audi hasn’t been in the big coupe game for ...
