Peugeot 407 1.6 HDI (2008) CAR review

2.5

Richard Aucock, 07 July 2008 09:24

Peugeot doesn’t really do facelifts. Look at any model over the years, and there is rarely any mid-life new radicalism. But even by these standards, the ‘new’ 407 is hard to spot. New bumpers include a 308-style rear diffuser. All models get the colour-coding previously restricted to V6 models. And – we're struggling here – the tail lights are new. ...

Jaguar X-type 2.2D (2008) CAR review

2.5

Richard Aucock, 01 July 2008 12:30

The X-type isn’t dead. It’s been given another facelift. Should we care? Well, while it can’t hold a candle to a 3-series or A4, it is now becoming the car it always should’ve been. This latest version has nearly 500 changes, and are centred around the mating, in both saloon and estate forms, of diesel to auto for the first ...

Ssangyong Rodius 270 S (2008) CAR review

Richard Aucock, 12 June 2008 09:37

The Rodius is a well established winner... In ugly car awards, that is. So let’s look at the method in the madness, instead. Yes, it’s huge – stretching to over five metres in length – and that yields mammoth space for seven, in a 2-2-3 layout that encourages open-plan sensations. The middle seats swivel round for a power-crazed conference room ...

Chevrolet Epica 2.0D LS (2008) driven CAR review

2.5

Richard Aucock, 15 May 2008 09:13

The Chevrolet Epica probably isn’t a car review you’ve been waiting for, but the real appeal lies in what dealers stick to the windscreen: £13,595. A typo? No, a price that buys you a base Epica. Really. A car longer than a Porsche Cayenne – and one with a straight-six petrol engine under the broad, commanding hood. Yes, just like ...

Renault Laguna Active (2007) Drive CAR review

4.5

Richard Aucock, 14 September 2007 10:50

What’s all this then? A Laguna with the agility of a Porsche Boxster. Through a slalom, it will turn in instantly, change direction with comparable speed – but not hint at the dreaded pendulum. Your hands will have steered just one, crisp input, and been met with firm, accurate response. How do we know? Renault laid on the comparison for ...

Saab 9-3 1.9 TTiD 180 (2007) CAR review

3.5

Richard Aucock, 18 June 2007 03:02

How new is this 'new' 9-3? Saab has made 2157 changes in facelifting its 3-series rival, rendering the 9-3 almost completely distinct from its Vectra platform. Or so says Saab. The nose is the most striking aspect; it’s all-new from the A-pillars forward, and its clamshell bonnet and perma-lit ‘eyebrow’ headlight strips lend it some presence. The side profile has ...

Mercedes C350 Sport (2007) CAR review

Richard Aucock, 12 March 2007 10:57

Seven years since the last, an all-new C-Class. What are the highlights? Mercedes has gone back to basics with the new C. Keen to banish memories of the E-class quality/breakdown/recall debacle, it has scrapped some of its old techniques and relied more on a computer-generated virtual C-class (its 2130GB of data might just crash your average PC) to iron out ...
