Lexus IS 300h F-sport (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 22 May 2013 15:00

Diesels are out and hybrids in, as Lexus has a third crack at the European premium elite. The third iteration of the IS saloon arrives in the UK with a choice of two engines: a 2.5 V6 petrol with 205bhp available from £26,495, and the 220bhp hybrid we drove, which starts at £29,495. The hybrid mates a 2.5-litre petrol four ...

Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R (2012) CAR review, 15 February 2012 09:00

In the UK, we still think of Hyundais as being cheap little runabouts and, really, that’s true – a large number were shifted during the scrappage incentive, and you rarely see anything bigger than an i30 on our roads. These days we are getting a taste of more upmarket, sportier things from the Korean maker, including the impressive i40 and, ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI SWB (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 14 December 2010 13:00

This is Volkswagen’s revised 2010 Phaeton, an updated version of the German car company’s luxurious limousine. The Phaeton, along with the (much more successful) Touareg, was key to VW Group overlord Ferdinand Piëch’s plan to move the brand upmarket. A people’s car it ain’t, but then the Phaeton’s never had the kudos to compete head-on with BMW, Merc, Audi and ...

Infiniti M37S (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 09 September 2010 15:30

This is the Infiniti M37, and it's Infiniti’s answer to the BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class. And after we briefly tested the M35 Hybrid version in Japan, this is our first chance to try the new Infiniti M on UK roads. So the Infiniti M37 is now here in the UK, but was it by any chance designed primarily for ...

Audi S5 Sportback (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 31 August 2010 10:00

Audi’s massive model expansion continues apace, and while Ingolstadt is busy offering up a plethora of new shapes and sizes (A7 Sportback, Q3) it’s also busy enhancing its existing models. The Audi A5 Sportback seemed a little odd when it was introduced in 2009, but it’s best to think of it as an exciting version of the A4 saloon. And ...

Citroën C6 3.0 HDI Exclusive (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 11 March 2010 11:03

The Citroën C6 has always intrigued us at CAR. We're the sort to see merit in unusual choices and in the C6 we see character in spades. You have to look past numerous shortcomings – and there are plenty – but its very idiosyncrasy, the sense of other, is what makes it stand out in our view.Not many Brits are ...

Cadillac CTS 2.8 V6 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Peter Burgess, 11 August 2008 10:03

In the United States the Cadillac CTS has become one of GM’s minor success stories. Cadillac builds 240,000 cars a year and the CTS, its 5-series saloon, has become a core part of the range. Now the latest Cadillac CTS reaches the UK this September, after the best part of a year on sale in the US. GM is desperate ...

Saab 9-5 Bio-fuel 2.0T (2007) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Oliver, 02 August 2007 11:30

Nice stickers! Don’t tell me – it’s a Saab 9-5 running on bio-ethanol… Well-spotted Sherlock. This is indeed a very special 9-5 that turns up its nose at conventional fuels in favour of bio-ethanol. The 9-5 Bio-fuel was launched in its Swedish domestic market a year ago. Since then it’s accounted for 80 percent of all 9-5s sold – this ...

Lexus GS450h (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 29 June 2007 03:20

Looks like a limo, but I suppose if David Cameron has one, it must be green… We’re not sure how much Tory-boy’s ‘celebrity’ endorsement is worth, but the Lexus GS450h is probably the most technically advanced ‘green’ car currently available as a standard-production model. It’s a big executive saloon with a premium badge and is priced accordingly, from £38,068. But ...

Cadillac BLS 1.9D (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Julian Kirk, 24 April 2007 04:37

Another US saloon arriving in Britain with right-hand drive? What's so special about the BLS? It's the first Cadillac offered with a diesel engine. Well if you discount the disastrously unreliable 5.7-litre Seville diesels of the late 70's. So a creaky old car maker trading on past glories has finally caught up with the rest of the world. Big deal. ...
