Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Elegance (2008) CAR review

Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Elegance (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 16 May 2008 09:31

Skoda’s Superb flagship has always been a leftfield option among mainstream motorway fodder. It had two difficult names to overcome, generic Volkswagen-esque styling, a lot of hand-me-down componentry and no real heritage to speak off. That didn't stop 12,500 brave souls from buying one in the UK. Skoda reckons its new Superb will be a far more attractive proposition when ...

Lexus IS-F (2008) CAR review

Lexus IS-F (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 07 February 2008 13:34

The new Lexus IS-F performance flagship arrives here this April primed to take on its BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG rivals. Even its £51,000 price tag (M3 £50,725, C63 AMG £52,567) puts it deep into enemy territory. It may not have the aspiration strengths played on so heavily by M Division and AMG, but that hasn't stopped Lexus wheeling out a ...

BMW 135i Coupe (2007) CAR review

BMW 135i Coupe (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 21 October 2007 12:01

So, is this the ‘One’ that everyone has been waiting for? Very good. The thought of a small, highly focused BMW, with the full M Sport works, powered by one of the finest engines on sale has certainly had us salivating. Shoehorned into the 135i’s engine bay is the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight six found in the 335i. It develops ...

Mercedes E500 facelift (2006) CAR review

Mercedes E500 facelift (2006) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Whitworth, 21 December 2006 11:00

You’ve used the wrong picture, that’s the old E-class, sort yourselves out! Well, Mercedes calls it the ‘new’ E-class but it’s really a heavily revised version of the model launched four years ago. More than 2000 parts have been upgraded or replaced, the biggest being the new grille, which is bigger and more angular. The front bumper has been tweaked ...

Nissan Murano GT-C (2006) CAR review

Nissan Murano GT-C (2006) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Whitworth, 11 August 2006 08:01

Hang on, have I logged on to Pimp My Ride.com? How droll. What you are looking at is a world exclusive – the first drive of Nissan's hot Murano GT-C concept car. Created by Nissan's Cranfield-based Technical Centre Europe as a bespoke one-off to gauge customer reaction, it made its debut at July's London Motor Show, as well as making ...

Mitsubishi Evo IX FQ360 (2006) CAR review

Mitsubishi Evo IX FQ360 (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Whitworth, 31 July 2006 08:43

Yet another FQ car from Mitsubishi - aren't these faux-rally cars a bit out of favour at the moment? True, but after ten minutes behind the wheel of the UK-only FQ360, you’ll wonder why. It's an absolute belter. Utterly driver-centric, unfeasibly fast, with incredible body control, excellent damping, and superb steering. To cap it all, it has four-doors-and-a-boot practicality. It ...
