Peugeot 208 GTi (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2013 07:00

This is the new Peugeot 208 GTi, and it follows hot on the heels of our drives of both the Ford Fiesta ST and Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo. Can it be as good as the Fiesta ST or Clio Turbo? The Peugeot has nearly 20bhp more than the Ford, and as some Renaultsport fans bemoan the Clio’s new dual-clutch transmission, ...

Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 VTI GT (2011) CAR review

2.5

Mark Hamilton, 21 June 2011 07:00

The Peugeot 207 CC is the survivor of the supermini hardtop convertible class. Whilst the Daihatsu Copen, Nissan Micra C+C and Vauxhall Tigra have left new car price lists, the 207 has continued in production, selling almost 148,000 units worldwide between 2007 and 2010. In the meantime the funsize convertible market has welcomed a pair of retro rivals (the Mini ...

Hyundai Veloster (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 01 April 2011 06:00

Hyundai’s new Veloster is essentially the replacement for Hyundai’s front-wheel drive Coupe, but the concept is all new: gone are the two-door coupe lines, replaced by an asymmetric hatchback/coupe crossover. There are traces of Citroen DS3 at the front, of the Renaultsport Megane in the rear three-quarter, a dash of Honda CR-Z here, a sprinkle of Mini there, but the ...

Toyota Verso-S (2011) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 21 March 2011 15:00

It’s 11 years since Toyota was at the vanguard of the mini-MPV segment with the launch of the Yaris Verso. Now, six years after the demise of the vehicle that came to be known as the ‘ice-cream van’, Toyota makes a long-awaited return to the sector with the Verso-S. 2011 Toyota Verso-S - return of the Toyota mini-MPV The previous ...

VW Polo GTI (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 02 September 2010 11:20

If you don’t love the Volkswagen Golf GTI, then at the very least you’ll probably begrudgingly respect its brilliant mix of great build quality, a good engine and everyday usability. But the latest Mk6 Golf GTI is just a little too rounded and refined, so what about something from the class below? Step forward VW’s new Polo GTI, with a ...

Renault Wind Roadster (2010) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 01 July 2010 22:00

The Renault Wind has caused quite a lot of excitement in the CAR office, and not (as you might be thinking) because it gives us a legitimate excuse to make flatulence-based puns. Silly name aside, the Wind is a good looking little coupe-convertible, with a clever flipping roof and a chassis tuned by Renaultsport. Add in competitive pricing – the ...

Honda Civic Si 5dr (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Paul Barshon), 17 June 2010 06:00

Back in 2006 the conservative Civic was relaunched as a futuristic-looking hatch. But the past four years have helped mellow the sci-fi looks, so to jazz things up Honda has launched an Si-spec Civic. Essentially the Si kit is just a trim level – there are no chassis tweaks, and the kit is available with all the current engine and ...

Citroen DS3 DSport THP150 (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Oliver, 26 May 2010 13:30

The French philosopher Roland Barthes wrote when the original Citroen DS was launched in 1955 that the car was now the “exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely ...

Vauxhall Astra 1.6T (2009) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 10 July 2009 11:30

Vauxhall’s current Astra grew up as a middling car in the middle of Vauxhall’s range. The conservative styling and drab interior didn’t help, and dynamically the fifth-gen Astra lacked the dynamic poise of its peers because of its beam rear axle. Now there’s a sixth-generation Astra – still lacking an independent rear suspension set-up – but with an Insignia-inspired interior ...

Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer 1.6T (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 15 June 2009 10:00

The Vectra estate majored on space but looked as sexy as a stack of bottle crates. The Insignia hatch and saloon have turned their backs on the functional nature of the old Vectra, and the new Sports Tourer does the same to such an extent that Vauxhall couldn’t bring itself to label it an estate. But if it’s now sexy, ...
