Audi Q3 2.0 TDI 138bhp FWD SE (2012) CAR review

Audi Q3 2.0 TDI 138bhp FWD SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 27 March 2012 14:21

The Audi Q3 has only been around for a year, but the company continues to spin off variants at an alarming rate as it scatters new product into every which niche in the market. So here we have the latest Q3 model on test: a front-wheel drive, lower-powered 2.0-litre turbodiesel mustering 138bhp and with a simple stick shift (the pics ...

Seat Mii 1.0 SE (74bhp) 2011 CAR review

Seat Mii 1.0 SE (74bhp) 2011 CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 29 November 2011 09:06

Seat's not built a city car since the Arosa (itself twinned with the VW Lupo). Now history's repeating itself, with the simultaneous launches of the VW Up, Seat Mii and Skoda Citigo. Here we review one of the toppier Seat Mii models, the higher-powered 74bhp in what should equate to a UK-bound SE spec. Buying a Mii is a simple ...

Porsche 911 Carrera S (2012) riding with Rohrl

Porsche 911 Carrera S (2012) riding with Rohrl

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 22 September 2011 10:41

There's a special treat for Porschephiles in the new October 2011 issue of CAR Magazine: we've nabbed the first ride in the new 991-spec Porsche 911 - alongside rally ace Walter Rohrl. The new 911 is one of the highlights of 2012, and our European correspondent Georg Kacher spent two days riding shotgun with Rohrl around Alpine passes in the ...

KTM X-Bow R (2011) CAR review

KTM X-Bow R (2011) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Tim Pollard, 06 July 2011 10:30

It’s three years since bike manufacturer KTM branched out into cars, launching the X-Bow at the 2008 Geneva motor show. More than 500 brave drivers have been found to buy the X-Bow, ensuring the project has survived the recession and brought further evolution. Which brings us to this: the 2011 X-Bow R, an even faster version of the sports car. ...

Lotus Evora IPS auto (2011) CAR review

Lotus Evora IPS auto (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 22 June 2011 12:00

The new Lotus Evora IPS has a very simple mission in life. New Lotus management are busy patching up their product range to expand Hethel’s footprint around the world – and much of the world prefers their cars to be automatics. Buyers in America and Asia, in particular, are likely to pick the two-pedal option, and Lotus predicts the new ...

Porsche Cayman R (2011) CAR review

Porsche Cayman R (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 15 April 2011 07:00

Let me declare an interest. I have a serious fixation with the Porsche Cayman. Forget your 911s or supercars – the Cayman is what I trot out when I’m often asked what is my dream car. I just struggle to see how I’d want more power, more speed, more handling delicacy – or expense – in my life than the ...

Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (2011) CAR review

Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 (2011) CAR review

Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 24 November 2010 10:20

Suzuki is evaluating the Kizashi for UK sale. This is the first D-sector, family car entrant from Suzuki, which has historically specialised in small cars and rugged, good-value SUVs. Can the Suzuki Kizashi really tempt us out of our Mondeos and Insignias? Suzuki GB has imported a Kizashi 2.4 Sport to the UK for evaluation with dealers and selected media. ...

Cadillac SRX 3.0 (2010) CAR review

Cadillac SRX 3.0 (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 25 October 2010 13:46

The Cadillac SRX is likely to be the biggest seller in the Americans' relaunched range of cars for Europe. It's a crossover sized around the Volvo XC90, but this time round the new Caddy SRX has just two rows of seats; they've listened to criticism of the last SRX (which sported seven seats in three rows) and tried to make ...

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe (2010) CAR review

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 20 October 2010 09:10

Cadillac is a minute player in Europe. Joe Bloggs in Kensington High Street won’t understand it’s GM’s posh brand in the States – but cars like the new CTS Coupe might shift expectation somewhat. That’s why GM is relaunching Cadillac in Europe – and this distinctive coupe is spearheading the fightback. Don’t underestimate that total lack of brand awareness. Cadillac ...
