Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

Rated 2 out of 52

the CAR road test team, 23 May 2013 09:00

Month 3 running a Ford Focus ST: should the ST have four-wheel drive? Interesting one, , this: Ford won’t sell you the punchiest diesel Kuga SUV in front-wheel-drive guise, instead ensuring that its 251lb ft of torque flows through all four tyres. But our Focus ST channels 265lb ft through the front wheels alone, with none of the trick limited-slip ...

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 out of 53

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 ...

VW Beetle Cabriolet 2.0 TSI (2013) CAR review

VW Beetle Cabriolet 2.0 TSI (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Greg Pajo), 14 March 2013 09:00

VW’s range already boasts two drop-tops:  the Golf Cabriolet and folding hard-top Eos. Now, the retro-styled VW Beetle joins the convertible contingent, and CAR has driven it in 2.0-litre Turbo guise to see how it stacks up. Clearly hoping that we winter-weary, Vitamin D-starved Brits would burn ourselves silly and write deludedly nice things while suffering a bout of sunstroke, ...

VW Golf vs Audi A3 vs Mercedes A-class (2013) CAR review

VW Golf vs Audi A3 vs Mercedes A-class (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman (photography by George F. Williams), 11 March 2013 23:00

Which is the best premium German family hatchback – the VW Golf Mk7, Audi A3 or Mercedes A-class? CAR gathered an Audi A3 1.4 TFSI SE, a Mercedes A200 Sport and a VW Golf GT 1.4 TSI together in central London to bring you the definitive verdict. VW has spent billions developing the seventh-gen version of the Golf, Europe’s biggest-selling ...

Toyota's GT86 meets the legendary 'Drift King'

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman (photography by Paddy McGrath), 11 February 2013 11:45

When CAR met 'Drift King' Keiichi Tsuchiya, we took Toyota's new GT86 coupe – and its legendary AE86 predecessor – along to see what the original oversteer hero made of the slidey new model. Read on for the full story of how Tsuchiya brought drifting to the world, and his thoughts on the Toyota GT86 and AE86. Toyota GT86 meets 'Drift King' ...

Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI (2013) CAR review

Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher (photography by John Wycherley), 16 January 2013 11:20

Volkswagen’s all-new, seventh-generation Golf went on UK sale on 7 January, with prices from £16,285. Is it worth your hard-earned cash? We’ve driven the 138bhp 1.4-litre petrol to find out. After 39 years and 29 million Golf sales, VW has finally crashed its hatchback icon into the class above. The seventh generation is now so refined, so grown-up, so classy, ...

Hyundai Veloster Turbo (2012) CAR review

Hyundai Veloster Turbo (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman (photography by Stuart Collins), 08 October 2012 16:06

The Hyundai Veloster Turbo is a properly stunning car. We like the Veloster, more so the butcher Sport version, but it looks born to be the Turbo. Rather than the standard narrow intake above the Hyundai badge and a larger one beneath, the Turbo boasts one big, Audi-inspired grille and I love the way it accentuates how the bodywork sweeps ...

Ford Focus ST (2012) CAR review

Ford Focus ST (2012) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 11 June 2012 00:01

This is the new 2012 Ford Focus ST. It’s Ford’s rival for the Golf GTI, but the blue oval hot hatch undercuts its equivalent key rival from Wolfsburg by over £4k. It also outpunches the GTI in the power and torque stakes, the ST’s 247bhp and 250lb ft being considerably ahead of the GTI’s 207bhp and 206lb ft. Ah yes, ...

Toyota GT-86 (2012) CAR review: a second opinion

Toyota GT-86 (2012) CAR review: a second opinion

Rated 4 out of 54

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 18 May 2012 09:20

So absolutely has the company hung its hat on the environmentally-conscientious peg of hybrid drive technology of late that, until the arrival of this new 2+2, the fastest accelerating production Toyota was… Ta-daaah! The Land Cruiser V8. Mercifully, and not before time, the new 2012 Toyota GT86 changes all that. But only just… Because, drawing on a long heritage of ...
