Mazda 6 2.2D Sport (2013) CAR review

Ollie Kew, 19 March 2013 17:26

The new third-generation Mazda 6 is the lightest, most frugal version of the Mondeo/Passat rival yet. Available in saloon or ‘Tourer’ estate bodystyles, it’s priced from £19,595 for an entry-level petrol model. We’ve driven the 2.2-litre diesel saloon in top-spec Sport trim to see if this new 6 is as appealing as its predecessors. How much Mazda 6 do I ...

Lexus IS-F (2010) new CAR review

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, ...

Saab 9-3 Turbo X (2008) and Aero XWD (2008) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 25 February 2008 12:24

Saab's been a bit cash-starved for a while, so the 9-3 Turbo X is the first new product from GM's Swedish outpost for some time. Don't get too excited: it's not a brand new car. But its advanced four-wheel drive system and twin-turbocharged V6 take the 9-3 into new territory. Is the 9-3 Turbo X a soft-road crossover or a ...

Mercedes C220 CDI estate (2007) review

4.5

Ged Maxwell, 19 September 2007 05:30

Ooh, a compact exec estate. What combination of sport/tourer/Avant/wagon is it called? None: the Mercedes C-Class estate is, well, just that. Plain old estate. And the largest premium-class estate at that. How very sensible. Mercedes may have been unusually bold in its approach to the latest C – hacking off the stick-up grille badge for Sport editions, making the chassis ...

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 ...

Renault Laguna Dynamique 1.5 dCi 110 (2007) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 23 August 2007 10:29

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 ...

Citroen C3 Stop & Start (2007) CAR review

4.5

Ben Oliver, 26 June 2007 12:21

That’s not the future of green motoring - it’s just a Citroen C3. Don’t be so dismissive. The lengthily titled Citroen C3 1.4i 16v Stop & Start SensoDrive five-door, is very much the present of green motoring, as it carries a smart little innovation that will cut your fuel bills. It could significantly improve city-centre air quality if more manufacturers ...

Skoda Octavia vRS TDi (2006) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 21 November 2006 08:29

A diesel? I thought the vRS was Skoda's GTi. It is. The vRS comes with either the 197bhp FSi turbo 2.0-litre from the Golf GTi or now, with this 2.0 common-rail diesel. It’s the newer, more powerful version of that engine too, producing 168bhp and 258lb ft of torque, up 30bhp and 22bhp on the version offered in the more ...
