BMW X6 XDrive 35d (2008) CAR review

BMW X6 XDrive 35d (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 05 April 2008 00:00

We’ve heard of niches, but come on – an SUV coupe? Sounds a bit roast beef with ice cream to us. But from June 2008, that’s what BMW has in store. The X6 is the latest addition to the maker’s SUV portfolio of X3 and X5, which is already the best-selling premium line-up in Europe. The X5 3.0d is, surprisingly ...

BMW 125i Convertible (2008) CAR review

BMW 125i Convertible (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

BMW teased us with the 1-series concept back in 2002. Remember the CS1, a stubby two-door drop-top, with flame surfacing fanning the flames of controversy? The BMW firewall, roasted by a million e-mails calling for Chris Bangle’s head, certainly does. It’s perhaps no coincidence that BMW has taken six years – six years! – to put that iteration into production. ...

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S (2007) CAR review

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Maserati model names confuse me. What’s this Sport GT S all about? According to chief engineer Paul Fickers, it’s the car the Quattroporte always should have been. There are six Quattroporte variants – three with a semi-auto, three with a full auto – and it’s the ‘proper’ auto Sport GT S that’s expected to now form the majority of sales. ...

Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 (2007) CAR review

Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

What’s this? A Cadillac I like the look of? What’s going on? Strange things indeed. Oh-so-US Cadillac has long spoken of being a BMW alternative, offering look-at-me impact for less shy and retiring types. But while the Art & Science styling theme had plenty of drama on the 1999 Evoq concept car, it’s always appeared a bit like cheap Christmas ...

Renault Clio 197 R27 (2007) CAR review

Renault Clio 197 R27 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Richard Aucock, 25 April 2007 09:08

The Clio F1 Team R27. That's the 197 special edition named after this year's slothful F1 car, right? Ooh, get you. We should be feeling sympathy for Renault. It wraps up the World Championship with the R26 racer, launches a brilliant Megane special edition boasting the same name, and can do no wrong. But, so far, the new R27 F1 ...

Mercedes C350 Sport (2007) CAR review

Mercedes C350 Sport (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Seven years since the last, an all-new C-Class. What are the highlights? Mercedes has gone back to basics with the new C. Keen to banish memories of the E-class quality/breakdown/recall debacle, it has scrapped some of its old techniques and relied more on a computer-generated virtual C-class (its 2130GB of data might just crash your average PC) to iron out ...

Kia Ceed 1.6 S (2006) CAR review

Kia Ceed 1.6 S (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Richard Aucock, 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 ...
