Ford FPV Boss 335 GT (2012) CAR review

Ford FPV Boss 335 GT (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Oliver, 07 May 2012 07:00

Ford’s Australian outpost has built its most powerful car ever: the Ford Performance Vehicles Boss 335 GT. That’s 335 kilowatts, by the way: 450bhp to you and me, from a supercharged five-litre V8 engine shoe-horned into the bodyshell of Ford’s standard, rear-wheel drive Falcon saloon. With a bonnet bulge the size of Uluru and that power output stencilled into its ...

Citroen DS5 Hybrid4 (2012) CAR review

Citroen DS5 Hybrid4 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 29 December 2011 19:00

The DS5 is Citroën’s most innovative car since the 1970s. It’s a beautiful, five-seat family car that looks like the lovechild of an MPV and an estate, and it bloods Peugeot-Citroën’s unique diesel/hybrid powertrain. The result should be a hatchback with a decent turn of pace, extraordinarily low fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and running costs, and a desirability unmatched in ...

Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

What factors contribute to the size of your typical family? Costs, contraception, the size of the family home, the fear of having an uneven-numbered odd-one-out, divorce? One of my overbearing concerns has always been the limiting effect a larger family would have on my choice of car, both in terms of enjoyment and in purely practical concerns. Selfish, I know. ...

Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (2011) CAR review

Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 06 September 2011 08:00

Peugeot Citroen have been showing Hybrid4 concepts for three years now - and finally the wait is over. The new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 is here - and we've driven it. UK sales start in November 2011. This is a significant car on numerous counts. It's the first series production diesel-electric hybrid on sale. It's the first time you or I have ...

Mercedes C220 CDI facelift (2011) CAR review

Mercedes C220 CDI facelift (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Stephen Worthy, 03 August 2011 10:00

Amid all the repositioning of the Mercedes roster – the C-class Coupe is essentially the new CLK, but there's a E-class Coupe that uses C-class parts too – the C-class saloon remains a no-nonsense, reliable choice in the compact exec segment. But worried about looking too much like a taxi? Want to spice things up with a bit of bodykit (and ...

Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid (2011) CAR review

Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 17 May 2011 09:28

The Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is the 911 GT3 of the hybrid world: a more potent, focused, plug-in Prius, for the hardcore who want to sharpen their hybrid’s performance. Not by cutting the 0-62mph sprint, obviously, but by reducing the Prius’s CO2 emissions from 89g/km to less than 60g/km. How does the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid work, and is it an ...

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 05 November 2010 09:12

Volkswagen says the new 2011 Passat takes… Actually, can I just interrupt you there to say the Passat Mk7 isn't new, it’s a bloody facelift. New lights, new grille, Bob ist ihr onkel. Okay, so the new, seventh-gen VW Passat does use the same platform as the 2006 car, but Volkswagen claims that every panel is new. But it manages to look almost ...

Lexus IS-F (2010) new CAR review

Lexus IS-F (2010) new CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 18 October 2010 09:33

Now here’s a leftfield choice if ever there was one. The Lexus IS-F is a pleasingly alternative performance saloon and one that’s consequently rare as hen’s teeth viewed alongside the BMW M3, Mercedes C63 AMG and Audi (R)S4 set. Is its scarcity justified? We've just driven the 2010 IS-F ahead of a modest facelift for the 2011 model year. Cosmetically, ...

Ford Fusion Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Ford Fusion Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 27 July 2010 12:06

Before we get too confused, I’d like to make just one thing clear: we’re not talking about the UK Ford Fusion here – the Fiesta on stilts that’s driven only by OAPs. No, this is the US Ford Fusion, the large four-door saloon, and we’re testing it in hybrid guise. Shouldn’t it look a bit more, well, futuristic? Admittedly the ...
