Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 10 February 2012 12:15

A Ford Focus with a 1.0-litre engine! Isn’t that like getting Charles Hawtrey to compete for World’s Strongest Man, or sending Samson into battle after a crewcut? In one of the most extreme downsizing examples yet, Ford has plumbed an all-new, turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine into its family hatch, all 1.2-odd tonnes of it. The 1.0-litre Ecoboost is available to ...

Audi RS5 (2010) CAR video road test

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 23 April 2010 17:01

The Audi RS5, one of the most exciting prospects of 2010, has been driven by CAR. With 444bhp, a 4.2-litre V8 petrol engine that winds up to an 8500rpm redline, and four-wheel drive, Ingostadt¹s new coupe looks to have the ammunition to take on BMW¹s sensational M3. There¹s barely a cigarette paper between their 4.6sec and 4.7sec 0-62mph sprints (it¹s ...

Jaguar XJ Supersport (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 20 April 2010 10:36

The Supersport is the cream on top of Jaguar’s new XJ range for 2010. The supercharged V8-powered limousine is the flagship, a full-fat experience in which only 5% of XJ customers will indulge. How does the £87,455, ultimate version of Britain’s S-class drive? That’s not a Jag XJ, that’s a Citroen concept car! Whatever happened to drawing rooms on wheels? ...

Ford Fiesta 1.6 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 27 August 2008 08:37

Here’s the first drive verdict on Ford’s all-new Fiesta, the most important supermini to be launched in 2008. Not only is the Fiesta Britain’s best-selling small car and the sporting driver’s choice, it’s also the backbone of loss-making Ford’s turnaround plan. By 2010, the Fiesta hatchback will be on sale in Asia and North America (as well as Europe), a ...

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 20 June 2007 11:01

So the Turbo Coupe gets the predictable cabrio chop then… Spot on. And at £106,180, this turbocharged, open-top, tech-fest is the flagship of today’s range. The only 911 topping £100k comes with a turbocharged flat six engine producing 480bhp, all-wheel drive, active suspension and every conceivable goodie: DVD navigation, leather comfort seats, Bose sound system. But there’s one crucial thing ...
