Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 07 April 2010 10:30

Hmm. A straight set of four stars. Like getting all Bs in your GCSEs. You sure? You’re saying the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is a good all-rounder, a Mr Safe-Hands, rather than at the edgy end of party-in-the-pants brilliance? Well, not quite. But read on. Really? The new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet only gets four stars for performance? 0-62mph in ...

Toyota Verso TR 2.0 D-4D (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 08 June 2009 09:40

Toyota’s medium people-carrier is in its third incarnation now, complete with seven seats as standard for every model, this time. Trouble is, it’s a crowded market, with everyone in on the act since Renault’s Megane Scenic kick-started things in 1996. Can Toyota’s latest effort be enough to make it stand out? Okay, it’s a Toyota, so I’m not expecting an ...

Toyota Urban Cruiser 1.3 2WD (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 15 April 2009 12:27

Don’t laugh too loudly at the name. With the Urban Cruiser, Toyota’s clearly cashing in on its brutish 4x4 Land Cruiser branding (there was once a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine-style Space Cruiser too) rather than deliberately evoking images of kerbcrawlers. It’s attached to a Kia Soul-style MPV-lite body, that’s really little more than a built-up supermini, complete with 1.3-litre) Yaris ...

Ford Fiesta 1.25 (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 11 February 2009 10:30

Ford expects the 1.4-litre petrol version of the Fiesta to be the best-seller. And that’s fine, but we’ve a sneaking suspicion you might be missing out on the sweet-spot in the Fiesta range. The best news is that it’ll actually cost you less too, both to buy and to run. Because we’re talking about the smallest engine in the range: ...

Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 25 December 2008 23:35

Audi’s dinked the A5’s old 1.8-litre base engine, and brought in this 2.0-litre turbo, that kicks off the range in 178bhp front-drive mode for £26,150. There’s also this 208bhp version, tested here with Quattro four-wheel drive. Great-looking car, the Audi A5. Is it great to drive too? The A5 is more than just a chopped-down A4. Take a peek behind ...

Audi Q7 V12 TDI (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 18 September 2008 10:30

There are big numbers at play with the Audi Q7 V12 TDI. Try these for size: 2635kg (big SUV), V12 (the first 12-cylinder diesel engine yet fitted to a passenger vehicle), 493bhp (it’s the most powerful, too), 738lb ft (that’s one hell of a stack of torque) and £96,295 (yes, you read that right). The question is, do all the numbers ...

Audi A3 1.4 TSI (2008) Sport CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 25 March 2008 11:35

Logic dictates that you should just ignore the Audi A3 and buy a Golf, because it's more spacious, cheaper and better-equipped. But logic would deny you an appealing car if accommodation matters less to you than image. There's no denying the A3 is a slick little hatchback, and the hi-tech appeal of this little turbocharged 1.4-litre engine suits it well.An ...

Corvette C6 (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 27 February 2008 09:01

GM sees the Corvette as a genuine Porsche 911 rival, so much so that it claims to have benchmarked this lightly revised version of the sixth-generation car directly against it. The 911. Yes, you read that right. It also claims that the Corvette is the word's best-selling sports car. Yes, you read that right too. But, then, it's a home ...
