Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top  pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. Underneath the skin there are bits of Astra hatchback and Insignia saloon, but the Cascada looks altogether classier than run-of-the-mill Vauxhalls. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite ...

BMW 3-series Gran Turismo (2013) CAR review

BMW 3-series Gran Turismo (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Georg Kacher, 22 May 2013 12:30

This is the BMW 3-series GT, which starts from £28,835. Cast in the same (albeit smaller) mould as the unloved 5GT, the 3-seres Gran Turismo offers estate-beating versatility, but does it still drive like a proper BMW? We drove the 320d and 335i models model to find out. So, what’s the point? Is that what you’re thinking? Us too. We ...

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 07 May 2013 13:50

Nissan has updated its Qashqai crossover for 2013. On the new ‘360’ trim level which replaces the mid-range Ntec+ trim, the headline news is a 360-degree view parking camera. It’s a familiar car now, but does its age mean the Qashqai has dropped off the pace? CAR tested the 1.6dCi version to find out. Isn’t the Qashqai getting a bit ...

Vauxhall Mokka 1.7 CDTI (2013) CAR review

Vauxhall Mokka 1.7 CDTI (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 16 April 2013 12:30

Vauxhall’s new Mokka crossover doesn’t directly rival jacked-up superminis like the Nissan Juke or new Renault Captur, nor fully-fledged family tools like Nissan’s popular Qashqai or the likeable Skoda Yeti. The Mokka splits them on size, space and price, but does that leave it falling between two stools, or as the best of both worlds? Read on for the CAR ...

Toyota RAV4 2.2 D-4D (2013) CAR review

Toyota RAV4 2.2 D-4D (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 25 March 2013 13:15

This is the fourth-generation RAV4, or to give our test car its full title, the Toyota RAV4 Invincible 2.2 D-4D. Let’s pick that mouthful of a moniker apart and find out if the new RAV4 can cut it against the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V in the school-run soft-roader class. Invincible? That’s quite a claim for the new RAV4… Toyota ...

Chrysler 300C 3.0 CRD (2013) CAR review

Chrysler 300C 3.0 CRD (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 23 January 2013 11:54

CAR has driven the new Chrysler 300C in CRD V6 diesel form to see if it's a credible rival to German exec expresses like the Audi A6 and BMW 5-series. And can it possibly run as a possible half-price alternative to a Mercedes S-class? Read on for the full verdict. Not much change on the styling front for the 2013 ...

Skoda Rapid (2012) CAR review

Skoda Rapid (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Steve Moody, 24 October 2012 15:00

When one of Skoda’s big selling points for the new Rapid is that the car comes with a see-through ice scraper that also doubles as a magnifying glass, you might think they are struggling to find USPs for it. But once buyers have been won over by the advantages of being able to look at ice crystals in slightly more ...

Audi Q3 (2012) CAR review

Audi Q3 (2012) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 14 June 2012 10:38

I drove the latest Audi Q3 recently. And it got me thinking. I’ve heard of compassion fatigue - whereby an endless succession of charities make such relentless Tele- and radiothon-sponsored demands on the public purse that, eventually, the well indulges in a little covert self-sealing even if not strictly dry - but am now wondering whether we might be on ...

Mazda CX-5 2.2D (2012) CAR review

Mazda CX-5 2.2D (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 17 April 2012 09:46

This is the new Mazda CX-5, and it really is new. The Mazda CX-5 ushers in a whole raft of new technologies – under the SkyActiv banner – aimed at cutting weight, consumption and emissions. The two engines, the two gearboxes, the chassis, and the body, have all been designed and developed from scratch under the SkyActiv philosophy, and that ...

Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi (2012) CAR review

Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 14 February 2012 13:00

This is the new Hyundai i30. And it was only in late 2007 that Hyundai launched the first i30, so the fact another one is already upon us rubbishes the industry standard of 6-7 year lifecycles. The first Hyundai i30 (along with its sister, the Kia Ceed) made us start taking the Korean brand seriously, and from ix35 to i40 ...
