Mercedes A45 AMG (2013) CAR review

Mercedes A45 AMG (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 11 June 2013 12:30

This is the new Mercedes A45 AMG, one of the most powerful hot hatches ever built. The A45 is also the first hot hatch that Mercedes’ AMG tuning division has ever built, and it’s gone all out with its initial attempt: there’s a 355bhp turbocharged engine, four-wheel drive, a seven-speed twin-clutch paddleshift gearbox, and the performance to embarrass a Porsche ...

Renault Captur (2013) CAR review

Renault Captur (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 11 June 2013 09:00

The new Renault Captur is based on the Clio supermini platform, but offers an elevated ride height and quasi-SUV looks. It's aiming to take a slice out of the fast-growing compact-crossover car market, but is it talented enough beneath the funky garnish? Read on for the full CAR verdict. What sort of first impression does the Renault Captur make? Were ...

Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2 (2013) CAR review

Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ollie Kew, 28 May 2013 12:30

Bye-bye outdated Colt, hello fuel-sipping new Mirage. Mitsubishi’s new five-door only supermini is the most aerodynamic car in its class, but is a slippery shape all the Mirage has going for it? We drove the top-spec Mirage 3 to see if class honours remain an unobtainable oasis on the horizon… Does the Mitsubishi Mirage cut through the air like its ...

Nissan Juke Nismo (2013) CAR review

Nissan Juke Nismo (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 12:00

Nissan’s first Nismo-badged car to be sold in Europe is this hotted-up Juke crossover. Sporting an aggressive aero bodykit and sporty cabin touches, chassis revisions and a dollop more power, the Nismo (short for Nissan Motorsport) is an offbeat £20k alternative to regular hot hatches like the Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo and Peugeot 208 GTi. So this isn’t really a Juke-R ...

Mini Paceman Cooper S (2013) CAR review

Mini Paceman Cooper S (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 09 May 2013 10:00

The Mini Paceman is the eighth (count ‘em) model to join the Mini range, and it’s easily the hardest to pigeonhole. As a three-door version of the Countryman SUV, it’s a sort-of, retro-styled, cut-price Range Rover Evoque coupe. Does it make any more sense from behind the wheel? We drove the 184bhp Cooper S model to discover if the Paceman ...

Range Rover Sport prototype (2013) CAR review

Range Rover Sport prototype (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 02 May 2013 13:30

Our first chance to drive the new Range Rover Sport has come sooner than we might have expected. It had its world debut at the New York auto show a month ago, yet here we are in the UK at Land Rover's Gaydon test track, looking at a prototype with its driver's door open and engine running. While we'd reiterate ...

Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 01 May 2013 11:00

CAR first drove the Vauxhall Adam earlier this year, but that was a European-spec car on Portugese roads. The Adam copped a lot of stick for its ride and handling – which Vauxhall promised would be retuned for discerning British tastes (and shoddy British roads) on UK models. We’ve driven the sporty 1.4 ‘Slam’ model to see if the changes ...

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2013) CAR review

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 26 April 2013 11:00

Lamborghini may be blowing out 50th birthday candles, but you won’t hear it crowing on about another anniversary: that the Gallardo turns ten this year too. That’s a long time in this business, especially when the Ferrari 458/McLaren 12C firefight has left the Gallardo almost completely out of the spotlight of late. The latest facelift won’t alter that, but it ...

VW Golf GTI (2013) CAR review

VW Golf GTI (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 22 April 2013 13:00

This is the VW Golf GTI Mk7: the fastest, most frugal Golf GTI ever made.  Is it just a subtle tweak of its Mk6 predecessor, or a truly great hot hatch worthy of the GTI name? To find out, we’ve borrowed a pre-production GTI for a revealing 350km shakedown experience in the Ile de France region around Paris. The car’s ...

BMW M6 Gran Coupe (2013) CAR review

BMW M6 Gran Coupe (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 19 April 2013 16:30

This is the new BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a four-door coupe/saloon that slots between the M6 coupe and M5 saloon. It gives Munich a direct rival to the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG (£82k) and forthcoming Audi RS7, and an excuse to add £24k to the M5's sticker price – it'll cost £97,490 when it goes on sale in May. The ...
