Saab 9-3 Convertible Aero 2.0t (2011) CAR review

2.5

Stephen Worthy, 21 June 2011 10:55

The automotive equivalent of Last Of The Summer Wine it may be, but Saab’s long-running ‘family’ cabriolet can rightly lay claim to being the daddy of the modern compact exec-based convertible genre. Saab’s shifted 300,000 cabrios since the 900 convertible appeared in 1986, but is its aging 9-3 cabrio still a valid player in the face of newer, more advanced ...

Aston Martin Cygnet (2011) CAR review

Jethro Bovingdon, 30 May 2011 00:01

Is this the most controversial car of 2011? The new Aston Martin Cygnet is either a fabulously clever way to make a heap of money and cut CO2 emissions, or an abomination not fit to wear the iconic winged badge, depending upon whom you talk to. Now we’ve driven the Aston Martin Cygnet in its natural city habitat. Read our first drive ...

Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (2011) CAR review

3.5

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 ...

Subaru WRX STI (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 25 March 2011 09:00

Subaru ditched the hot saloon template for fast Imprezas in favour of a hot hatch version in 2008, but now it’s back. This four-door WRX STI doesn’t replace the hatch but joins it in the range in an effort to boost flagging sales. Does it recapture that old Scooby magic, or is this the last gasp of the Japanese nutter ...

Mercedes E250 CGI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Ben Barry, 30 March 2010 10:30

With the CLK convertible out of the Mercedes line-up, the four-seat soft-top niche is filled by this, the E-class Cabriolet. We’re driving the E250 CGI. What’s the spec of the new Mercedes E250 CGI Cabriolet? The CGI part tells us we’re driving a direct-injection petrol turbo. The 250 bit means this is the 1.8-litre turbo that’s good for 201bhp and ...

Mercedes E-class coupe (2009): CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 31 October 2009 10:00

Take a look at this new Mercedes E-class coupe. While it’s called the E-class coupe, and looks very much like an E-class, it actually sits on a C-class chassis. There’s a choice of four engines, two diesel and two petrol. For diesel power, there’s a V6 powerplant, and the smaller 2143cc unit. Alternatively there’s a petrol V6 and V8 too. ...

Vauxhall Insignia VXR (2009) UK CAR review

Chris Chilton, 31 July 2009 09:59

What’s this, has the VXR brand gone all sensible? Depends on how sensible you class a 321bhp family saloon that hits 60mph in 5.6sec and could top 170mph were it not for the killjoy limiter. But yes, the hottest Insignia is certainly more visually restrained than the usual VXR offerings and signals Vauxhall’s desire to make this particular VXR appeal ...

Nissan Murano (2009 European version) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 01 September 2008 10:00

A new Nissan Murano? I can barely remember the old one… That’s probably because, despite selling over 241,000 units in America since its launch in 2004, the poor Murano managed barely 55,000 sales throughout Europe over the same period. Clearly, Nissan has equally low hopes for European success with the next-generation Murano, anticipating a ludicrously modest 450 sales for this ...

Nissan Murano (2008) CAR review

Kyle Fortune, 15 April 2008 09:18

Nissan’s Murano is an odd thing. Since late 2004 only around 1000 of them have made it to the UK each year, but for all its scarcity it was something you wouldn't forget when you did see one. A big showy chrome grille and a lusty V6 engine borrowed from the 350Z meant the Murano was never going to appeal ...

Brabus Ultimate 112 (2008) driven CAR review

3.5

Dan Trent, 14 April 2008 09:30

You’ll know Brabus as a manufacturer of bonkers horsepower mega Mercs. But the tuner is also the official in-house performance partner for Smart and has been turning its expertise to the diminutive Fortwo and dearly departed Roadster for some years. Official status hasn’t reined in the instinct for going a bit bonkers every now and then though. First there was ...
