Suzuki Swift Sport (2012) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 19 November 2012 10:20

How fuel efficient is CAR's Suzuki Swift Sport? - 19 November 2012 The Swift is piling on the miles – we're now past 6000 on the odo, which means we're not far off the first service. Suzuki sticks with unfashionably short, 9000-mile intervals: good for looking after the engine, bad for the wallet. We'll let you know how we get ...

Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup (2009) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 05 October 2009 11:45

Renaultsport does a rather fine line in hot hatches. The outgoing R26R is amazing, the Clio 200 is brilliant, and we’re all fans of the tiny Twingo 133. And now there’s a new Renaultsport Twingo 133, the Cup. But I can already spec a Cup chassis on the Renaultsport Twingo 133, so what’s new? Pen and paper at the ready, ...

Renaultsport Twingo 133 'Cup' long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 26 May 2009 12:41

Long-term test update - 26 May 2009 Is there a more appropriate car for our times? After all, how many of us really, genuinely need anything else other than a tiny, fun, practical tearabout for our day-to-day transportation needs? The Twingo seats four, the boot isn’t huge but I’ve managed to fit a Marshall 2x12 amp and an industrial dehumidifier ...

VW Polo 1.2 TDI Bluemotion (2010) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 18 May 2009 16:29

Europe’s greenest car will be blue. Volkswagen’s Polo Bluemotion, which goes on sale in May 2010, will exhale just 87g of carbon dioxide for every kilometre you drive, and return up to 85.6mpg. That’s cleaner than the Pope’s freshly laundered robes, and makes the saintly Toyota Prius and Honda Insight hybrids – both the wrong side of 100g/km – look ...

Ford Fiesta Zetec-S Mountune (2009) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 23 March 2009 11:47

Ford's brilliant new Fiesta only has one problem – the lack of an ST model. Actually the real problem is that there isn’t one coming – Ford canned it to concentrate on green cars like the Fiesta Econetic. I’m sure Ford has done its sums but given how many of the old-shape STs you see charging around Britain’s towns, it ...

Renault Clio Cup (2008) CAR review

2.5

Nick Trott, 24 September 2008 09:00

The Clio Renaultsport Cup is the third Clio to receive the ‘Cup’ moniker. Following in the wheel tracks and skidmarks of the deeply entertaining Clio II 172 Cup and 182 Cup, the Clio Renaultsport 197 Cup features the same suspension set-up as the limited edition Clio 197 R27, taller 5th and 6th gear ratios and optional air conditioning. So, it’s ...

Ford Fiesta ST500 (2008) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 17 September 2008 09:45

Remember the old days when cars had steering feel? Well, get queuing up, because this could be your last chance to buy one. It’s the Fiesta ST500, Ford’s last hurrah with the old-gen car before new Fiestas flood the roads. The old days and a Ford Fiesta? I know where you’re coming from… Absolutely. This Fiesta is well past its sell-by date, ...

Renault Twingo Renaultsport 133 (2008) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 29 August 2008 15:18

Renault has just unleashed the Twingo Renaultsport. It's the £11,500 little brother to the Clio 197, so it's a bargain, but is it any good? A new-to-the-range 1.6-litre engine provides decent grunt, but the base car is boring to drive - let's find out if Renaultsport has worked a miracle. Forget the Mini Cooper, I want one of those Twingo ...

Fiat 500 Abarth (2008) CAR review and video

Steve Moody, 10 July 2008 08:44

Can the Fiat 500 Abarth live up to the hype? Now we've driven it, we have the answer. In the last year, no car launched anywhere has had the same impact on the buying public as the Fiat 500. It seems we just can’t get enough of its retro bubbliness, cheery smile and Italian chic. But if you feel a ...

Kia Proceed 2.0 CRDi (2008) CAR review

3.5

Gavin Green, 28 January 2008 14:25

Stupid names for cars aren’t new. We’re had the Nissan Gloria, the Ford Probe and the Mazda Bongo Brawny van after all. But in the long roll call of daft designations, the Kia pro_cee’d (note the lower case ‘p’, the underscore and apostrophe) takes top prize. The pro_cee’d is the three-door sportier version of the cee’d, the new European-built Kia ...
