Kia Sportage 1.7 CRDi 2WD (2011) CAR review

Keith Jones, 25 October 2011 17:09

Judging by the frequency you see Kia’s third-generation Sportage on the roads, British buyers are captivated by its combination of Dolce & Gabbana looks at Matalan prices. But in the fiercely contested crossover market is the 1.7 CRDi front-wheel drive Sportage more style than substance in the world of faux by fours? Is the 2011 Kia Sportage as good as it ...

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 06 October 2011 18:00

Vauxhall is replacing the Zafira with the new Zafira Tourer - and it also isn't. Eh? What's with the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer? Well, the new Zafira Tourer you see here will be in addition to today's Zafira MPV. Rather like Renault with the Clio, Vauxhall plans to sell both old and new concurrently. The thinking is it'll give GM a ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 22 April 2011 06:47

The new Ford Focus aims for the middle ground between the groundbreaking, sharp-steering first-generation Focus and the duller but smarter Mk2. In theory, if it can match the fun of the first with the quality of the second, it could be on to a good thing. The new 2011-spec Ford Focus has already – by a whisker – seen off the ...

Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCI (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2011 11:55

This is Ford’s second-generation C-Max, one of ten models Ford will spin off its new global C-platform – there’s a bigger Grand C-Max, three Focus models, plus hybrid and electric versions as well, and by 2012 it'll underpin 2m units annually. It’s the new Grand C-Max that will take to name to North America too, and cater for the 60% ...

Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI Ecomotive S (2011) CAR review

Anonymous, 03 January 2011 07:35

The new Seat Alhambra MPV is once again twinned with Volkswagen's Sharan, but the familial links have been cut with Ford's Galaxy. Think of the new 2010 Alhambra as a cut-price VW; our Alhambra 2.0 TDI Ecomotive model costs around £800 less than the equivalent Sharan. It's a pretty compelling reason to pick the Seat badge. We tested the Alhambra ...

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi First Edition (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 22 July 2010 07:00

The new 2010 Sportage is the first fully modern Kia, we reckon. The first styled wholly under chief designer Peter Schreyer (he of Audi fame), who's only now making his influence felt after four years in charge of styling the Korean cars. So take note of this new Kia Sportage. It's the most comprehensive look yet at the new face of Kia. Tiger-snout grille? ...

BMW 316d ES (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 27 November 2009 09:53

In the summer we tested BMW’s eco-diesel in the baby 1-series, and pretty good it was too. But what happens when you slip a mean-sounding 114bhp under the snout of the bigger 3-series? Is £35 annual tax sufficient recompense? And is the 316d really capable of 62.8mpg? Okay, the economy thing first. How good is the new BMW 316d in ...

Subaru Legacy Tourer 2.0D (2009) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 30 September 2009 13:46

Don’t you remember Colin McRae’s exploits in a Rothmans Legacy in the early 1990s? Or the Outback version that Audi ripped off for the A6 Allroad? Or the time Alf Thomson, the farmer in Postman Pat, rescued some newborn lambs stuck up a rutted farm track that demanded a hardy family car with standard four-wheel drive? Quite possibly not, because ...

Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 19 August 2009 09:00

Skoda’s Octavia vRS has built up something of a cult following. Seems a bit unlikely, but factor in its hot-hatchy character, diesel economy and innate practicality and you’ve got to wonder what its rivals are – especially in estate format. Now it’s been facelifted and comes with VW’s latest common-rail engine. We’re testing it with the dual-clutch DSG paddleshift transmission. ...

VW Golf GTD (2009) CAR review

2.5

Colin Overland, 01 July 2009 10:33

There are plenty of reasons for wanting a VW Golf, and they’re the same reasons that generally applied to all five previous generations. It’s a car that distils everything VW knows about providing do-everything motoring in a reasonably compact, affordable-ish package. If you buy into the Golf idea, and you want it badged VW rather than Skoda, Audi, Seat or ...
