Alfa Romeo Giulietta Cloverleaf (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 25 October 2011 09:30

Talking Italian - 25 October 2011 It’s only three little words, but they mean so much. Don’t worry, I’ve not been reading Barbara Cartland (again) – it’s the words ‘Benzina’, ‘Acqua’ and ‘Giri’ on my Giulietta’s instrument binnacles. That’s petrol, water and revs, if you haven’t worked it out already. Get in a German, French and Japanese car and any ...

Saab 9-3 Convertible Aero 2.0t (2011) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 21 June 2011 10:55

The automotive equivalent of Last Of The Summer Wine it may be, but Saab’s long-running ‘family’ cabriolet can rightly lay claim to being the daddy of the modern compact exec-based convertible genre. Saab’s shifted 300,000 cabrios since the 900 convertible appeared in 1986, but is its aging 9-3 cabrio still a valid player in the face of newer, more advanced ...

Aston Martin Cygnet (2011) CAR review

Jethro Bovingdon, 30 May 2011 00:01

Is this the most controversial car of 2011? The new Aston Martin Cygnet is either a fabulously clever way to make a heap of money and cut CO2 emissions, or an abomination not fit to wear the iconic winged badge, depending upon whom you talk to. Now we’ve driven the Aston Martin Cygnet in its natural city habitat. Read our first drive ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 28 April 2011 10:00

This is the new BMW 1-series M Coupe, and it signals a significant departure for BMW’s famed M Division. After generations of high-revving, naturally aspirated engines, BMW M is being forced down the forced induction route in a bid to produce more fuel efficient cars. The forthcoming M5 has a twin-turbo V8, the next-gen M3 will feature a blown six-cylinder ...

Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 30 March 2011 10:00

Proof positive that downsizing is a serious trend: even sports car manufacturers are building superminis. Fiat’s Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is soon to be joined by the Aston Martin Cygnet and – perhaps – the Lotus supermini, not to mention numerous expensively tweaked John Cooper Works versions of BMW’s Mini. Small cars have never been posher, faster or pricier. We’re ...

Subaru WRX STI (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 25 March 2011 09:00

Subaru ditched the hot saloon template for fast Imprezas in favour of a hot hatch version in 2008, but now it’s back. This four-door WRX STI doesn’t replace the hatch but joins it in the range in an effort to boost flagging sales. Does it recapture that old Scooby magic, or is this the last gasp of the Japanese nutter ...

Mercedes SLK 250 (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 08 March 2011 00:01

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SLK, the third generation of Stuttgart’s folding hardtop sports car. Traditionally, 50-something females have been the SLK’s key demographic, but Mercedes is trying to shift the needle a little towards men. It’s a tricky brief : improve refinement and usability even further, while enhancing driving dynamics too. But Mercedes is bullish: ‘We were surprised when ...

Audi RS3 Sportback (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 17 February 2011 09:00

This is the Audi RS3 Sportback, a near-£40k hot hatch with 335bhp, four-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It’s the smallest, cheapest RS model ever produced by Quattro GmbH, and is a final hurrah for the A3 with a new model just around the corner. Can it combine S3 Sportback practicality with TT RS attitude? Read on for CAR’s first ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe prototype (2011) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 16 December 2010 11:30

This is BMW's latest M car, the 1-series M Coupé. When it hits UK roads in May 2011, the 1-series M Coupé will go head-to-head with the new Audi RS3. Both produce 335bhp and 332lb ft of torque, have a sub-five second 0-62mph time and cost less than £40,000. We've driven a late prototype here. Read on for CAR Magazine's first drive ...

VW Touareg 3.0 TDI (2010) CAR review

3.5

Greg Fountain, 06 September 2010 10:30

Early adopters of the 2010 VW Touareg will see their cars being delivered from October onwards. And for some reason they will not be hated quite so fiercely as those who’ve ordered a Porsche Cayenne, even though the cars are broadly the same underneath and are, in the view of those with beards, equally reprehensible.Leaving the matter of planet salvation ...
