Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 21 May 2012 12:55

Audi’s first new A3 for nine years is also our first glimpse at the new MQB platform, the building block of every major transverse-engined car in the VW empire for the next few years. It’s been nine years since the last A3 was released. We’ve had two new Golfs in that time. Why the delay? Well Audi has been a ...

Toyota GT-86 (2012) CAR review: a second opinion

Toyota GT-86 (2012) CAR review: a second opinion

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 18 May 2012 09:20

So absolutely has the company hung its hat on the environmentally-conscientious peg of hybrid drive technology of late that, until the arrival of this new 2+2, the fastest accelerating production Toyota was… Ta-daaah! The Land Cruiser V8. Mercifully, and not before time, the new 2012 Toyota GT86 changes all that. But only just… Because, drawing on a long heritage of ...

Audi S6 Quattro (2012) CAR review

Audi S6 Quattro (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 18 April 2012 09:39

This is the new S6 Quattro saloon, Audi’s rival to the BMW 550i and Jaguar XF V8. It costs £53,995, comes only with Quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and serves up 414bhp and 406lb ft. That’s a V10 under the 2012 Audi S6's bonnet, isn’t it? No. The previous Audi S6 did come with a V10, but ...

Subaru BRZ (2012) CAR review

Subaru BRZ (2012) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Pulman, 28 March 2012 09:10

This is the new 2012 Subaru BRZ coupe. Developed in conjunction with Toyota (which will sell its version as the GT86, and as the Scion FR-S in the USA) it’s a rear-wheel drive sports car that does things a little differently… Rather than compensating for a lardy kerbweight with a powerful engine, and then fitting fat tyres to cope with ...

Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Kendall (photography by George F Williams), 23 December 2011 06:00

Swindon’s most famous export (aside from Billie Piper) has had a re-boot. The all-new, ninth-generation Honda Civic will go on sale in January 2012, and gently evolves the space-age Civic of 2006 – itself a radical departure from the safe, blue-rinse optimised Civics of old. First impressions count, and oddly some of the most memorable design flourishes which gave the ...

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 28 October 2011 10:55

On 20 May 2011, CAR was allowed behind the wheel of a Toyota FT-86 development mule to get our own driving impressions and to give feedback to Toyota’s engineers during a secretive test session in Germany. Now, as the car is about to be unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo motor show - badged GT86 - it’s time to reveal all. This was ...

Ginetta G60 (2011) CAR review

Ginetta G60 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jethro Bovingdon, 21 October 2011 09:00

On paper the new Ginetta G60 looks likely to be a bit of a disaster: it’s had a painful birth, morphing from Farboud to Farbio to Ginetta over an agonising decade or so; it has a humble Ford V6 with just 310bhp under its exotic carbonfibre skin and yet looks to compete with a car as complete and sophisticated as ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

First, some history. AMG has been updating and upgrading mid-size two-door Mercs for much longer thank you might think. The go-faster business began in the late 1970s with the W123 range – it came in three different AMG tuning stages, from the humble 2.3-litre four, past a 2.8-litre six, to the mighty 5.0-litre V8. However, it was not until 2001 that AMG stopped ...

BMW 640i Coupe (2011) CAR review

BMW 640i Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 14 July 2011 11:08

Hardened BMW fans (I’d put myself under that umbrella) might still be coming to terms with cars like the X6 and X1, but huge sales figures render our furrowed brows rather irrelevant. Even so, it’s nice to be reporting on a niche BMW that’s not a quasi off-roader. In fact the new 6-Series should keep traditionalists very happy. Based on ...

Lotus Evora IPS auto (2011) CAR review

Lotus Evora IPS auto (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 22 June 2011 12:00

The new Lotus Evora IPS has a very simple mission in life. New Lotus management are busy patching up their product range to expand Hethel’s footprint around the world – and much of the world prefers their cars to be automatics. Buyers in America and Asia, in particular, are likely to pick the two-pedal option, and Lotus predicts the new ...
