Mazda 6 2.2D Sport (2008) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 11 November 2008 10:01

The new Mazda 6 diesel is bucking the current trend for downsizing. When every other manufacturer seems intent on reducing engine displacement through turbocharging, Mazda has replaced its 2.0-litre diesel with a 2.2-litre oil burner. The old 138bhp engine is dropped from the UK line-up completely (though it will still be available in certain foreign markets) and in comes the ...

Seat Exeo (2009) CAR review

Julian Kirk, 04 November 2008 14:00

Has the Large Hadron Collider finally done its thing? Have I entered a time warp and gone back in time seven years? The reason I ask is that I’m driving what purports to be a new car but is, in fact, a model which was first launched way back in 2001. Sorry, you’ve lost me - I thought this was ...

New Audi S4 saloon (2008) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 21 October 2008 12:30

The new Audi S4 is either Ingolstadt’s idea of a bad joke or a stroke of genius. If you follow the former line of thought, then you’re from the camp that thinks the economy has jumped off a cliff, gone into freefall and the last thing the world needs is a grunty super-saloon. But if you side with the latter then ...

Mercedes C250 CDI Prime Edtion CAR review

CJ Hubbard, 15 October 2008 09:14

We've just driven Mercedes-Benz's important new eco-specialist C-class: the – take a deep breath – C250 CDI Blue Efficiency Prime Edition. Putting the Transformers jokes to one side for a second, listen up because under the bonnet lies the beating heart of a concept car. The C250 CDI's Blue Efficiency turbodiesel engine cropped up earlier this month as the motive ...

Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 07 October 2008 09:30

Long-term test report - 7 October 2008. So my Mercedes C-class has gone – and I will miss it like few other long-term cars. The C320 CDI really got under my skin. Its presence, its power and its ability to elevate any journey to a special event sucker-punched me a week after its arrival and my captivation grew with every passing ...

Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTI (2008) CAR review and video

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 01 October 2008 00:01

The segment in which Vauxhall’s new Insignia must compete may be shrinking, but it still constitutes a handsome ten percent of the total market. Clearly, GM sees this as justification to throw the kitchen sink at the Insignia, equipping it with a raft of new toys that will simply never see the light of day in cooking versions set to mither the ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package (2008) CAR review

Ben Barry, 24 September 2008 09:00

The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package costs £3210 and promises to turn the four-door saloon from Affalterbach into an M3 beater. For your money you get uprated brakes and suspension, a limited slip differential and a steering wheel trimmed in nappa leather and Alcantara. Shouldn’t that kit be standard on the Mercedes C63 AMG? It’s a good point. The ...

BMW 335i facelift CAR review

Glen Waddington, 16 September 2008 14:00

If you’ve already read what we’ve written about the revised 330d, you’ll know about the changes BMW has wrought on the 3-series. It looks a bit sharper, has a bit more presence, some new tech – particularly in terms of BMW’s Efficient Dynamics - and it’s still the driver’s choice in its class. But only the 330d gets a new ...

BMW 330d facelift CAR review

Glen Waddington, 02 September 2008 11:07

Since the current BMW 3-series was introduced it’s faced new competition from the Mercedes C-class and the Audi A4. BMW is fighting back with a revised version that benefits from refreshed looks and a few small but important tech tweaks. Question is, can these changes keep the class leader on top? Small changes, you say. So what’s new on the ...

Mercedes-Benz C350 Estate Sport CAR review

Glen Waddington, 29 July 2008 14:13

What’s the point of the Mercedes-Benz C350 Estate Sport? Sure, it looks great and it’s got loads of power, but no way can a small estate (even a small Mercedes estate) be useful too. Surely you’d just buy an E-class if you wanted space. Wouldn’t you? Should I just buy the salon, then? Well, as it turns out, no - ...
