Peugeot 208 1.6 e-HDi (2012) CAR review

Peugeot 208 1.6 e-HDi (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 14 March 2012 10:56

CAR's first review of the new 2012 Peugeot 208 comes at a crucial time in the French company's history. For much of the past decade, the something-oh-seven cars have failed to excite us, or many other enthusiasts. Blame the big-mouthed, slabby designs, the so-so dynamics or the caught-up competition – but stuff like the 207 and 307 just haven't kindled our imagination ...

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Porsche Cayenne Diesel (2011) CAR review

Porsche Cayenne Diesel (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

The Cayenne is the Porsche we all loved to hate. But is the Cayenne SUV now firmly accepted in the Porsche firmamentr? After all, most now understand the well worn argument that it funds the sports cars we all love. Porsche has built twice as many 4x4s as any other single model line so far this year, for crying out loud. So ...

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

Land Rover Freelander eD4 148bhp 2wd (2011) CAR review

Land Rover Freelander eD4 148bhp 2wd (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 09 February 2011 09:28

It’s a crazy world when Land Rover starts selling front-wheel drive cars and, at the other extreme, Ferrari launches a four-wheel drive estate. But these are challenging times for the motor industry. In the past decade Land Rover has been embroiled in more sustained political lobbying than today’s public enemy number one, the banking sector. So it should come as ...

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 06 January 2011 12:02

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI 163 Powershift (2010) CAR review

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI 163 Powershift (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 26 November 2010 11:47

Ford has a knack of being late to the party. The Kuga itself was only launched in 2008, but until now it's been bereft of one of the most popular drivetrains available on SUVS: a diesel auto. These have finally landed in recent weeks, mating the proven 2.0-litre TDCI turbodiesel with Ford's Powershift twin-clutch six-speed auto. You can pick your ...

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi First Edition (2010) CAR review

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi First Edition (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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? ...

Saab 9-5 2.0 TiD 158bhp (2010) CAR review

Saab 9-5 2.0 TiD 158bhp (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 03 June 2010 09:41

It's been a long time coming. Thirteen years in fact. But at last Saab has launched a new 9-5 and we've finally tested it, here in entry-level 2.0-litre turbodiesel spec. A brace of TDs will be available in the new 9-5, sharing the same four-cylinder block but with single or twin turbocharging to crank out their 158bhp or 187bhp outputs. ...
