Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 TCe 180 (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

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 ...

Lancia Delta CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Gavin Green, 10 June 2008 09:41

Lancia is set to return to the UK midway through 2009, having departed ignominiously 14 years ago, its range of tinselled Fiats proving about as popular as gelato in a London winter. The car that leads the charge back to to Britain is the new Delta, a quirkily styled five-door hatchback that promises new levels of luxury in the class. ...

VW Golf 1.4 TSI 7spd DSG CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

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

Rated 4 out of 5

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

Rated 4 out of 5

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 ...

Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 28 June 2007 08:52

Is this the new Kia Cee’d in disguise? Not really. The Hyundai i30 may share the same basic platform and engines as the Cee’d by sister brand Kia but its exterior, interior and ride and handling set-up is different. This one’s still made in Korea rather than Europe too. There are a few similarities, though. The side window graphic and ...

Fiat Bravo 1.9 JTD CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 01 February 2007 09:41

A new Fiat Bravo! It replaces the Stilo but, given how unpopular the Stilo was, should anyone care? Yes, the old Stilo was one of those yawningly average cars that rather summed up Fiat’s problems. Mediocre to look at, indifferent to drive, of poor quality and a complete showroom duffer. Fiat, though, is going through something of a renaissance. There’s ...

Kia Ceed 1.6 S CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

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 ...
