Mercedes CLA220 CDI (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 06 March 2013 17:00

This is the Mercedes CLA, a new niche model from Stuttgart that aims to offer the style of the CLS 'four-door coupe' at a price that slots in below the C-class. You’ll pay from £23k for the entry-level CLA180 petrol, £27-28k for the 250 petrol, or £25-26k for the 220 CDI diesel – around £2.5k less than the equivalent C-class ...

Volvo V40 R-Design (2013) CAR review

Ollie Kew, 29 January 2013 13:59

Volvo is rolling out its sporty trim level to the V40, with the launch of R-Design models. Think of R-design as Volvo’s answer to Audi’s S-line trim, or M Sport on a BMW. They look meaner, and punters are lured to them: 25% of British V40 hatch buyers on our shores are expected to tick the R-design box (compared with ...

Mercedes A250 Sport (2013) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 25 January 2013 09:30

Forget everything you knew about the Mercedes A-class. The new model is totally different in appearance, concept and character, bearing zero resemblance to the original entry-level Mercedes from 1998 that made the elk famous by failing the stability test named after that top-heavy, antler-bearing, Nordic mammal. The third-generation A-class, now on sale in the UK, is no longer gunning for ...

Seat Leon 1.4 TSI (2013) CAR review

Steve Moody, 24 January 2013 12:15

The new Seat Leon's greatest enemies come from within: its VW Group sister cars like the new Golf and Audi A3 share the same underpinnings, but get posher badges. Can the Leon fight back with better value? CAR has driven petrol and diesel variants to find out. What exactly is under the skin of the new Seat Leon? Like the ...

Ford B-Max 1.0 Ecoboost (2012) CAR review

the CAR road test team, 26 November 2012 15:00

It’s a scenario familiar to anyone with a young family: you pull into the packed car park, eventually find your parking space, then try to extricate your screaming offspring from the bulky child seats you’ve plugged into the back row. At this moment the conventional car door becomes your nemesis: it’s hinged at the car’s central B-pillar, so the car ...

Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost (2012) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 10 February 2012 12:15

A Ford Focus with a 1.0-litre engine! Isn’t that like getting Charles Hawtrey to compete for World’s Strongest Man, or sending Samson into battle after a crewcut? In one of the most extreme downsizing examples yet, Ford has plumbed an all-new, turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine into its family hatch, all 1.2-odd tonnes of it. The 1.0-litre Ecoboost is available to ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 22 April 2011 06:47

The new Ford Focus aims for the middle ground between the groundbreaking, sharp-steering first-generation Focus and the duller but smarter Mk2. In theory, if it can match the fun of the first with the quality of the second, it could be on to a good thing. The new 2011-spec Ford Focus has already – by a whisker – seen off the ...

Nissan Leaf electric car (2011) CAR review

3.5

Mark Hamilton, 31 March 2011 12:41

CAR's Gavin Green drove a pre-production Nissan Leaf in Japan last year and came away impressed. So did European Car of the Year judges, who awarded the Nissan Leaf the COTY award for 2011. The Leaf continues to garner accolades in the media and positive reports from all who drive it. But we haven't had a chance to try the Leaf on ...

MG 6 1.8 Turbo (2011) CAR review

Tim Pollard (photography by Mark Fagelson), 16 March 2011 09:30

MG is back with the new 6 hatchback and saloon, a sort of Focus/Golf/Octavia rival with a sporting bent and prices to make you look twice. The MG 6 1.8 Turbo TSE reviewed by CAR costs £18,995, but you can have the same blown 1.8 in humbler S spec for £15,495. Those are pre VAT increase prices and will be ...

Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB 170 (2010) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 12 April 2010 23:30

Alfa Romeo is launching the new 2010 Giulietta to replace its 147 in the heartland mid-sized hatch. So the new Alfa Giulietta faces up to some pretty competent machinery, such as the VW Golf, Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. What’s going on? I thought Alfas were meant to look great and be terrible to drive. Let’s hope this one drives ...
