Mercedes B200 Sport (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 24 January 2012 09:36

Coldplay: with their catchy melodies and inoffensive lyrics, those lovely British lads epitomise mainstream rock music. Now I reckon there’ll be a lot of Coldplay-ed in the new 2012 Mercedes B-class. Both are middle-class, family-friendly and rather safe. Apparently, the B-class MPV (or sports tourer in Merc-speak) is the most extensive new model update in Benz’s history, adopting a new ...

Vauxhall Astra 1.6T (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

That’s cleaner than the Pope’s freshly laundered robes,  and makes the saintly Toyota Prius and Honda Insight hybrids – both the wrong side of 100g/km – look ...

Toyota iQ 1.0 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 02 September 2008 11:18

The new Toyota iQ is a landmark car: the world's soon-to-be-biggest car maker has gone and made the world's smallest four-seater. You see, the iQ packs two rows of pews into a tiny slip of a hatchback. It's not even three metres long. But the Toyota iQ has a twist; like Smart's Fortwo, the last car to rip up the ...
