Citroen DS5 Hybrid4 (2012) CAR review

3.5

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 C220 CDI facelift (2011) CAR review

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 ...

Subaru WRX STI (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 25 March 2011 09:00

Subaru ditched the hot saloon template for fast Imprezas in favour of a hot hatch version in 2008, but now it’s back. This four-door WRX STI doesn’t replace the hatch but joins it in the range in an effort to boost flagging sales. Does it recapture that old Scooby magic, or is this the last gasp of the Japanese nutter ...

When can we buy the Vauxhall Ampera? February 2012 is the current on-sale date; ...

Vauxhall Insignia VXR (2009) UK CAR review

Chris Chilton, 31 July 2009 09:59

What’s this, has the VXR brand gone all sensible? Depends on how sensible you class a 321bhp family saloon that hits 60mph in 5.6sec and could top 170mph were it not for the killjoy limiter. But yes, the hottest Insignia is certainly more visually restrained than the usual VXR offerings and signals Vauxhall’s desire to make this particular VXR appeal ...

New Audi S4 saloon (2008) CAR review

3.5

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-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 VXR8 facelift (2008) CAR review

Ben Barry, 17 September 2008 09:00

It might have only been launched a year ago, but the Australian-built Vauxhall VXR8 has already been upgraded. The big news is the new LS3 engine. Seems the 6.0-litre V8 LS2 was a bit weedy at 411bhp and 405lb ft, so the LS3 takes its place with a newly swollen 6.2 litres of Aussie muscle. The VXR8 isn't exactly in ...

BMW 335i facelift (2008) 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 ...
