Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 02 August 2011 09:36

Rental cars. Not what they used to be. So when I touched down in Italy on my recent summer holiday, imagine my delight when my cheapest-possible-small-estate package turned out to be the new 2011 Ford Focus Estate – one of the few cars I've not driven. Ours was the popular 1.6 TDCI Focus in Studio trim, roughly equivalent in spec ...

Alfa Romeo Mito 1.3 JTD Veloce (2010) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 29 April 2010 10:56

The Alfa Romeo Mito has got under the skin of us here at CAR. We're starting to see them on the road in some numbers – helped no doubt by the smashing £8995 scrappage deal under recent Government incentives – and to these eyes it's the best looking supermini by miles. It's arguably the first car to dislodge the Mini ...

VW Golf Bluemotion 1.6 TDI (2010) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 01 February 2010 15:48

Eco-friendly cars are often grim, hair-shirted things that you suffer as penance for your emissions, even though they pump out less CO2 than their standard brethren. But the new VW Golf Bluemotion is none of that. It doesn’t look funny (it runs alloys and a lowered ride height), it’s not made of egg cartons inside (splash out £120 on leather ...

VW Golf 1.6 TDI Bluemotion (2009) CAR review

Gavin Green, 31 October 2009 20:21

While Toyota grabs the eco high ground with its Prius, Europe’s makers are also trying to elevate themselves to the sunny green uplands with a range of hybrid-rivalling misers. From Econetic Fords to Efficient Dynamics BMWs; from Blue Efficiency Benzes to Ecoflex Vauxhalls; from Ecomotive Seats to Bluemotion Volkswagens. They’re all at, concocting increasingly daft model names to levitate their ...

Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 02 July 2009 10:58

Think ‘Renault Scenic’ today and what does it conjure up? Mum stuck in traffic on the school run. Jammy-fingered kids staring wistfully out of the window. Dad pootling down to the seaside with the whole clan seething inside it. There are so many cars like the Scenic on the road today, it’s easy to forget how radical it was when ...

VW Bluesport concept (2009) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 23 June 2009 11:30

Since its launch 20 years ago the Mazda MX-5 has effectively ruled a class of one, but, finally, two decades on, it may have a challenger. At the start of 2009 at the Detroit motor show, VW unveiled the Bluesport concept, a two-seat mid-engined roadster that’s scheduled to go on sale in early 2012 for around £20k. What's more, the concept ...

Mazda 6 2.2D (2009) CAR review

2.5

Stephen Worthy, 06 April 2009 10:47

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the family saloon shootout is a straight battle between that experienced gunslinger, the Ford Mondeo, and the new kid in town, the impressive Vauxhall Insignia. But waiting in the background is the Mazda 6 – and it’s seriously annoyed about all the attention the other two are getting. And so it should be because, ...

Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi (2009) CAR review

3.5

Jed Maxwell, 28 January 2009 14:30

Sensible, practical, useful – MPVs are all of those things. What they’re not, is fun. Until now. The Citroen C3 Picasso does all the normal useful stuff you expect of a people mover, but does it in a much more entertaining way. Is the Citroen C3 Picasso the coolest MPV ever? I do have a bit of a soft spot for ...

Fiat Bravo 1.6 16v Multijet Dynamic Eco (2008) CAR review

Jesse Crosse, 29 May 2008 09:56

Establishing whether or not a car is fun to drive is entirely subjective and what some might find an absolute blast, others may think is dull as ditch water. So the boys and girls at Fiat Powertrain have come up with what they call the ‘fun to drive index.’ The idea is to turn drivers’ perceptions into numbers and so ...

Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Elegance (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 16 May 2008 09:31

Skoda’s Superb flagship has always been a leftfield option among mainstream motorway fodder. It had two difficult names to overcome, generic Volkswagen-esque styling, a lot of hand-me-down componentry and no real heritage to speak off. That didn't stop 12,500 brave souls from buying one in the UK. Skoda reckons its new Superb will be a far more attractive proposition when ...
