Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 TCe 180 (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 03 November 2008 14:00

Though the front always struck me as a tad clunky and corporate, I’ve long admired the relentlessly shaken and gently stirring rump of this new Renault Megane’s predecessor. Trouble is, it seems that the majority of Britons, along with all too many Italians, have not… Why not? What's wrong with the Renault Megane? Renault makes no bones about the fact ...

VW Golf 1.4 TSI (2009) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 08 September 2008 12:26

This is the first drive of VW’s new-but-same-again Mk6 Golf, a car brought forward from 2010 to 2008 to counteract slow sales and a costly and lengthy build process. But with only mildly revised looks inside and out, can the new VW Golf match the Ford Focus and Renault’s forthcoming Megane? Read on for our verdict on the Golf, and ...

Proton Gen-2 1.6 Ecologic (2008) CAR review

Matthew Proud, 03 September 2008 12:20

Want to swap cheap thrills for cheap fuel? The Gen-2 Ecologic combines petrol power and low-cost LPG to force hard-up drivers to pay the Malaysian saloon a little more attention. Proton barely registers on most buyers’ radars and, before this new Ecologic model came along, it was hard to find any reason to justify the Gen-2 existence. But the LPG ...

Audi A3 1.4TSI Sport

Glen Waddington, 25 March 2008 11:35

Logic dictates that you should just ignore the Audi A3 and buy a Golf, because it's more spacious, cheaper and better-equipped. But logic would deny you an appealing car if accommodation matters less to you than image. There's no denying the A3 is a slick little hatchback, and the hi-tech appeal of this little turbocharged 1.4-litre engine suits it well.An ...

VW Golf 1.4 TSI 7spd DSG CAR review

Anonymous, 28 January 2008 16:26

If you subscribe to the theory that more is better, then you’ll like this. VW has just announced the latest version of its groundbreaking DSG dual-clutch gearbox with seven gears instead of six. It’s designed for smaller engine cars of up to 168bhp and 184lb ft torque, leaving the original six-speed launched in 2003 for the heftier end of the ...

Subaru Impreza 2.0R CAR review

Anonymous, 31 August 2007 11:50

The Impreza turns sensible but who is going to buy it? Subaru is either extremely brave or taking a very big risk. With its new hatchback Impreza, it's deliberately moving away from the established and passionate following on which the outgoing model has thrived. So it’s farewell big wings and bonnet scoops and hello sensible hatchback styling and sensible, normally ...

Fiat Bravo 1.4 T-Jet 150 CAR review

Anonymous, 11 August 2007 04:28

A Fiat family hatchback...that actually looks good. What's going on? Yes, Fiat is in the midst of a resurgence, what with the very pleasant Grande Punto, the cheery Panda and the soon-to-be-a-legend 500 winning fans all over, so we were looking forward to seeing if the new Bravo would follow suit. And when we drove a couple of the diesels ...

Toyota Auris 1.6 CAR review

Anonymous, 16 January 2007 01:02

The Toyota What? I thought you said this was the new Corolla It is! Toyota openly acknowledges the Corolla has become a bit, well, dull and is plotting a stepchange with this important new small family car. So the C-word is dumped for the new Auris badge. It's hoping to repeat what Ford did when it replaced the unloved Escort ...

Kia Ceed 1.6 S CAR review

Anonymous, 30 November 2006 09:38

What's this: a Korean Focus rival with a grammar-busting name? Absolutely. This is the car Kia calls the Cee'd, with a rogue apostrophe to make punctuation pedant Lynne Truss – and us – blow a fuse. At CAR Online, this car shall be known as the Ceed. It’s a five-door hatch that’s Ford-sized, offers air con as standard, and is to be ...

Subaru Impreza 1.5R CAR review

Anonymous, 22 November 2006 09:20

What do you mean 1.5? Is that the boost level measured in bars? Or the time it takes to get to 60mph? Er, not quite. It refers to the size of the engine in good old-fashioned cubic centimetres. There are no turbos, just 104bhp and it takes 13.7sec to get to 62mph, or 8.3sec longer than the top of the ...
