Lancia Beta Monte Carlo reader review

Pagani1zonda, 07 January 2009 13:55

CAR Online reader Pagani1zonda takes a trip down memory lane in a 1976 Lancia Beta Monte Carlo. Read about his first drive from Perranporth to Playing in a classic Pininfarina design... My favourite garage was called Lancia Playing Place situated on the main A39 road from Truro to Falmouth in Cornwall. One day in 1976 I was driven from Perranporth ...

BMW M6 (2008) CAR review

Ben Barry, 31 December 2008 14:11

It might be hard to imagine, but back when the BMW M6 was launched in 2005, CAR Online wasn’t actually around. Hence the BMW M6 not being previously reviewed on this site. But in the name of being comprehensive – and for the sake of driving what’s sure to be an epic car – we thought we’d right that wrong. ...

Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2008) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 25 December 2008 23:35

Audi’s dinked the A5’s old 1.8-litre base engine, and brought in this 2.0-litre turbo, that kicks off the range in 178bhp front-drive mode for £26,150. There’s also this 208bhp version, tested here with Quattro four-wheel drive. Great-looking car, the Audi A5. Is it great to drive too? The A5 is more than just a chopped-down A4. Take a peek behind ...

Lotus Eco Elise (2009) green CAR review

Tim Pollard (photos by Michael Topham), 09 December 2008 13:27

CAR's test of the Lotus Eco Elise has an inauspicious start. I slip into the driver's seat – with that swing-legs-in-haul-your-weight-around gymnastic routine familiar to generations of Elise owners – and thumb the start button. The first few hundreds yards confirm the Elise's rich DNA. Who doesn't love Hethel's back-to-basics purity? The tiny rim squirming in your palms, the wings' ...

Porsche Cayman S (2009) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 04 December 2008 12:30

The Porsche Cayman should have been a failure. The first pictures showed an ugly and ungainly coupe tottering on tiny 17-inch wheels, it cost a few grand more than its cheaper-to-build Boxster sibling and it should have always been overshadowed by its 911 big brother. But that never happened. Even though Porsche was clearly trying to reign the Cayman back, all but ...

Nissan 370Z (2009) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 01 December 2008 02:00

Nissan's Zed car is back and that new 370Z moniker indicates a bigger 3.7-litre V6 – up from the old car's 3.5 and lifted from the Infiniti G37. Yet thanks to the extensive use of aluminium throughout, the new 370Z weighs exactly the same as the current 350Z. Time to find out if this make the new Nissan 370Z as good ...

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

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 ...

Vauxhall Insignia 2.8 V6 4x4 (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 30 October 2008 11:17

Twenty minutes into a vigorous hoon in this 2.8-litre V6 powered, four-wheel drive flagship of the new Vauxhall Insignia range, all I could think of was pub grub. No, the launch proceedings food was perfectly fine, thank you… after a plenty-of-added-Austrian-lard fashion. It simply struck me that, these days, there’s a surprising parity between tavern nosh and this much diminished ...

Hyundai Genesis Coupe (2008) CAR review and video

Ben Barry, 24 October 2008 09:00

CAR Online has just driven Hyundai’s new rear-wheel drive Genesis Coupe. And it’s good. Very, very good. Hyundai hasn’t yet committed to bringing the car to the UK, but our first drive confirms that – like Barack Obama and the US – the Genesis Coupe would be a transformational character for Hyundai. CAR getting hot under the collar about a Korean ...

Renault Laguna Coupe 3.0 V6 dCi CAR review, video

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 ...
