VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

‘JESUS CHRIST… WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING?’ yelled the missus as we gleefully fled the gloriously under-briefed baby sitter the other evening… Mea culpa; the last time I drove the VW Golf GTI 35 was in hot pursuit of Ben P on our performance hatch group test in northern Welsh Wales and, momentarily undeterred by the olfactory tsunami ...

Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Audi’s first new A3 for nine years is also our first glimpse at the new MQB platform, the building block of every major transverse-engined car in the VW empire for the next few years. It’s been nine years since the last A3 was released. We’ve had two new Golfs in that time. Why the delay? Well Audi has been a ...

Subaru BRZ (2012) CAR review

Subaru BRZ (2012) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

This is the new 2012 Subaru BRZ coupe. Developed in conjunction with Toyota (which will sell its version as the GT86, and as the Scion FR-S in the USA) it’s a rear-wheel drive sports car that does things a little differently… Rather than compensating for a lardy kerbweight with a powerful engine, and then fitting fat tyres to cope with ...

Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Rated 3 out of 53

Swindon’s most famous export (aside from Billie Piper) has had a re-boot. The all-new, ninth-generation Honda Civic will go on sale in January 2012, and gently evolves the space-age Civic of 2006 – itself a radical departure from the safe, blue-rinse optimised Civics of old. First impressions count, and oddly some of the most memorable design flourishes which gave the ...

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 28 October 2011 10:55

On 20 May 2011, CAR was allowed behind the wheel of a Toyota FT-86 development mule to get our own driving impressions and to give feedback to Toyota’s engineers during a secretive test session in Germany. Now, as the car is about to be unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo motor show - badged GT86 - it’s time to reveal all. This was ...

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 13 July 2011 09:00

The Edition 35 is Volkswagen’s way of celebrating 35 years of the Golf GTi – it wasn’t the first hot hatch, but it was the first that actually mattered. But as anniversary presents go, is it a diamond ring, or does it feel more like a bunch of garage flowers? Wow, the VW Golf 35! It looks…exactly the same as ...

Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy (2011) CAR review

Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 11 July 2011 12:00

Renault’s new Megane RS 265 Trophy recently smashed the Nurburgring lap record for front-wheel drive cars. But does that translate into more on-road fun? Read on for our first drive of the new Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy to find out... I didn’t even know there was a lap record for FWD cars. It’s a bit like hearing that Blackburn reserves beat ...

Peugeot RCZ 200 (2011) CAR review

Peugeot RCZ 200 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 18 March 2011 14:00

Peugeot’s brilliant RCZ coupe couldn’t quite topple the VW Scirocco and Audi TT when we tested the trio last year in diesel form. Now we’ve tried the 197bhp petrol RCZ 200 to see if it’s good enough to be the coupe of choice. 197bhp, you say? Has the Peugeot RCZ 200 bought in a load of hot Clio engines from arch rival ...

Ford Fusion Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Ford Fusion Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 27 July 2010 12:06

Before we get too confused, I’d like to make just one thing clear: we’re not talking about the UK Ford Fusion here – the Fiesta on stilts that’s driven only by OAPs. No, this is the US Ford Fusion, the large four-door saloon, and we’re testing it in hybrid guise. Shouldn’t it look a bit more, well, futuristic? Admittedly the ...
