VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

‘JESUS CHRIST… WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING?’ yelled the missus as we gleefully fled the gloriously under-briefed baby sitter the other evening… Mea culpa; the last time I drove the VW Golf GTI 35 was in hot pursuit of Ben P on our performance hatch group test in northern Welsh Wales and, momentarily undeterred by the olfactory tsunami ...

Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Audi’s first new A3 for nine years is also our first glimpse at the new MQB platform, the building block of every major transverse-engined car in the VW empire for the next few years. It’s been nine years since the last A3 was released. We’ve had two new Golfs in that time. Why the delay? Well Audi has been a ...

Subaru BRZ (2012) CAR review

Subaru BRZ (2012) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

This is the new 2012 Subaru BRZ coupe. Developed in conjunction with Toyota (which will sell its version as the GT86, and as the Scion FR-S in the USA) it’s a rear-wheel drive sports car that does things a little differently… Rather than compensating for a lardy kerbweight with a powerful engine, and then fitting fat tyres to cope with ...

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 16 January 2012 10:19

The new Subaru XV is a curious thing. Despite the styling iniquities visited on the likes of the once-wholesome Forester and Impreza of late, there is still a tremendous groundswell of goodwill towards Subaru out there. Which makes it all the more difficult to fathom why, far from trying to rekindle the interest of its core customer base by vigorously ...

Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Rated 3 out of 53

Swindon’s most famous export (aside from Billie Piper) has had a re-boot. The all-new, ninth-generation Honda Civic will go on sale in January 2012, and gently evolves the space-age Civic of 2006 – itself a radical departure from the safe, blue-rinse optimised Civics of old. First impressions count, and oddly some of the most memorable design flourishes which gave the ...

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 28 October 2011 10:55

On 20 May 2011, CAR was allowed behind the wheel of a Toyota FT-86 development mule to get our own driving impressions and to give feedback to Toyota’s engineers during a secretive test session in Germany. Now, as the car is about to be unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo motor show - badged GT86 - it’s time to reveal all. This was ...

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 06 October 2011 18:00

Vauxhall is replacing the Zafira with the new Zafira Tourer - and it also isn't. Eh? What's with the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer? Well, the new Zafira Tourer you see here will be in addition to today's Zafira MPV. Rather like Renault with the Clio, Vauxhall plans to sell both old and new concurrently. The thinking is it'll give GM a ...

Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (2011) CAR review

Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 06 September 2011 08:00

Peugeot Citroen have been showing Hybrid4 concepts for three years now - and finally the wait is over. The new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 is here - and we've driven it. UK sales start in November 2011. This is a significant car on numerous counts. It's the first series production diesel-electric hybrid on sale. It's the first time you or I have ...

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 13 July 2011 09:00

The Edition 35 is Volkswagen’s way of celebrating 35 years of the Golf GTi – it wasn’t the first hot hatch, but it was the first that actually mattered. But as anniversary presents go, is it a diamond ring, or does it feel more like a bunch of garage flowers? Wow, the VW Golf 35! It looks…exactly the same as ...
