Mini Paceman Cooper S (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 09 May 2013 10:00

The Mini Paceman is the eighth (count ‘em) model to join the Mini range, and it’s easily the hardest to pigeonhole. As a three-door version of the Countryman SUV, it’s a sort-of, retro-styled, cut-price Range Rover Evoque coupe. Does it make any more sense from behind the wheel? We drove the 184bhp Cooper S model to discover if the Paceman ...

Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 01 May 2013 11:00

CAR first drove the Vauxhall Adam earlier this year, but that was a European-spec car on Portugese roads. The Adam copped a lot of stick for its ride and handling – which Vauxhall promised would be retuned for discerning British tastes (and shoddy British roads) on UK models. We’ve driven the sporty 1.4 ‘Slam’ model to see if the changes ...

Dacia Sandero Stepway 0.9Tce (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Steve Moody, 08 April 2013 07:00

This is the Dacia Sandero Stepway. In basic form, the Dacia supermini is the cheapest new car on sale in the UK, at £5995. The toughed-up Stepway version you see here is £7995, and even the flagship 'Laureate' models, complete with touchscreen sat-nav, cost less than £10k. Should you consider this bargain buying option? Read on for the CAR verdict. ...

Peugeot 208 GTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2013 07:00

This is the new Peugeot 208 GTi, and it follows hot on the heels of our drives of both the Ford Fiesta ST and Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo. Can it be as good as the Fiesta ST or Clio Turbo? The Peugeot has nearly 20bhp more than the Ford, and as some Renaultsport fans bemoan the Clio’s new dual-clutch transmission, ...

Audi RS5 Cabriolet (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 30 January 2013 09:40

The weight of expectation hung heavy over the RS5 when it was launched in 2010. After the RS4 saloon had come oh-so-close to beating the M3, Quattro GmbH’s first RS coupe had all the potential to finally best the BMW. But despite a cracking naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, a quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox and UK-friendly four-wheel drive, the RS5 took a ...

Vauxhall Adam 1.4 (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 08 November 2012 09:00

Vauxhall has just launched the new Adam city car, GM Europe's take on the Fiat 500 and Mini quasi-premium city car set. Here's our first drive review of the new 2013 Vauxhall Adam. With a name like that, it's all about being bold, funky and different - and trying just a little bit too hard if you ask us. Adam ...

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Ebbs, 25 June 2012 11:25

In this time of austerity and spiralling running costs, what could be more apt than a 6.4-litre V8 premium off-roader? Well, Jeep’s Street and Racing Technology branch has stuck two fingers up at the penny pinchers with its latest rival to the Ranger Rover Sport and Porsche Cayenne: time to review the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. Jeep Grand ...
