Fiat 500L 1.6 MultiJet (2013) CAR review

Fiat 500L 1.6 MultiJet (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 05 June 2013 16:00

Fiat’s new 500L is a five-seater MPV designed to take on the Citroen C3 Picasso, Ford B-Max and the equally trendy, retro-pastiche Mini Countryman, offering the chicness of the 500 with miles more utility. Priced from a fiver under £15k, is the 500L a bastardisation of the much-loved city car, or top of the mini-MPV class? We drove the entry-level ...

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

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 ...

Don’t like it? Blame Nissan. Stung into action by the remarkable success of the Qashqai (which last year recorded a 7% increase in UK sales when the whole market was down 12%), Skoda clearly feel that making the fifth model in their line-up a crossover will give them a slice of just about the only action around at the moment. ...

Mazda 6 2.2D (2009) CAR review

Mazda 6 2.2D (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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, ...

Volvo S40 1.6 DRIVe (2009) CAR review

Volvo S40 1.6 DRIVe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

To be taken seriously as a car firm these days it seems you need a low carbon dioxide model in your range. Volvo hasn’t had one up until now so it’s addressing that failing with three new models: eco versions of the C30, S40 and V50. They’re called DRIVe (pronounced Drive E) and the Swedish firm has big plans for ...

Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Elegance (2008) CAR review

Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Elegance (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 DI-D GS4 (2008) CAR review

Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 DI-D GS4 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

While the new Lancer Evo X hoovers up all the headlines, Mitsubishi’s ‘standard’ new Lancers are getting ignored. And it’s a pity because the diesel in particular is worth a closer look – and no we’re not kidding. The Lancer’s new platform, shared with the Outlander and co-developed with the former DaimlerChrysler corporation is well engineered, the standard kit is ...

Citroen C5 2.0 HDi (2008) CAR review

Citroen C5 2.0 HDi (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Citroen caused a stir when it unveiled the new C5. This is a class where Renault admits to making the Laguna purposively conservative. Where Citroen’s sister company Peugeot makes the middle-of-the-road 407. So when the covers came off the C5 we were impressed. And so were CAR readers, who've on the whole praised the new look. Is Citroen finally on a ...

Ford Mondeo Edge 1.8TDCi (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

You can tell it’s a base model because of the black door handles. Check out the wheels too: 16in steelies with silver-painted plastic hubcaps. Not cool. But base-level Mondeos aren’t about cool. They’re about practicality and a hint of driving enjoyment for the family man/sales rep (delete as applicable). Just how basic is the basic Ford Mondeo? Get over the ...

Renault Laguna Dynamique 1.5 dCi 110 (2007) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Saloon Why is Renault even bothering to make another Laguna? Because the so-called D-segment isn’t dead, yet. Although this market sector peaked at 3.4m European sales in 1998, nearly one million cars are still expected to be sold in 2007. Renault wants 9 percent of this market, and while that may not sound like a lot of sales, combined with ...
