Kia Ceed 1.4 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Phil McNamara, 11 April 2012 09:29

Kia’s new Ceed hatchback – which goes on UK sale on 1 June 2012 – wants to make you doubt yourself. Should you really buy that Vauxhall Astra, Renault Megane, Toyota Auris or A.N.Other family hatch, when you could switch to the up-and-coming Korean brand? We’ve driven the entry-level 1.4-litre Ceed (or cee’d as Kia badges it in a crime ...

Nissan Leaf EV (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 14 March 2012 10:30

Two sides to our Leaf – 14 March 2012 At once the Leaf is both soothing and stressful. Climb in, press the start button, and besides the dashboard lighting up to the accompaniment of a few bongs, you’d never know it was running. After any other car, the complete lack of vibrations is wonderful, so you glide along in relaxed comfort. You’re a little ...

Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 14 February 2012 13:00

This is the new Hyundai i30. And it was only in late 2007 that Hyundai launched the first i30, so the fact another one is already upon us rubbishes the industry standard of 6-7 year lifecycles. The first Hyundai i30 (along with its sister, the Kia Ceed) made us start taking the Korean brand seriously, and from ix35 to i40 ...

Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Mini Countryman Cooper D All4 (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 15 December 2011 11:05

Goodbye - 15 December 2011 The Countryman is gone but not forgotten and, whilst I’m not left pining for the little rhino, I may have developed something of a softspot for it. I’m left with mainly memories of the positive attributes of this strange mutant Mini. The interior was always a delight, with the cream leather and headlining making the ...

Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI SE (2010) long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

the CAR road test team, 09 May 2011 10:31

Farewell to our Skoda Yeti - 9 May 2011 Our Skoda Yeti went back a short while ago, so we've had ample time to reflect on its time with us. In short, we're all sorry to see it go. Skoda has been on a roll for a while and the Yeti represents the best of new Skoda: a bold product ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Toyota Auris HSD (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Mark Hamilton, 24 March 2011 07:00

Toyota is proud of the British-built Auris Hybrid, which mates Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive with the Corolla-replacing midsize hatchback. The bumf proclaims: ‘70mpg, 93g/km and a 700-mile range!’  ‘Nothing to see here,’ whispers the standard exterior, with just discrete blue-tinted badging giving the game away. Unlike the Toyota Prius, which proclaims its earth-friendly image with a distinctive eco-car exterior, the Auris Hybrid ...

MG 6 1.8 Turbo (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...
