Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top based on the Insignia saloon and pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite trim to find out. Cascada first impressions… It’s a big beast, shading an Audi ...

Lexus IS 300h F-sport (2013) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 22 May 2013 15:00

Diesels are out and hybrids in, as Lexus has a third crack at the European premium elite. The third iteration of the IS saloon arrives in the UK with a choice of two engines: a 2.5 V6 petrol with 205bhp available from £26,495, and the 220bhp hybrid we drove, which starts at £29,495. The hybrid mates a 2.5-litre petrol four ...

BMW 3-series Gran Turismo (2013) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 22 May 2013 12:30

This is the BMW 3-series GT, which starts from £28,835. Cast in the same (albeit smaller) mould as the unloved 5GT, the 3-seres Gran Turismo offers estate-beating versatility, but does it still drive like a proper BMW? We drove the 320d and 335i models model to find out. So, what’s the point? Is that what you’re thinking? Us too. We ...

Nissan Juke Nismo (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 12:00

Nissan’s first Nismo-badged car to be sold in Europe is this hotted-up Juke crossover. Sporting an aggressive aero bodykit and sporty cabin touches, chassis revisions and a dollop more power, the Nismo (short for Nissan Motorsport) is an offbeat £20k alternative to regular hot hatches like the Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo and Peugeot 208 GTi. So this isn’t really a Juke-R ...

Mini Paceman Cooper S (2013) CAR review

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 ...

MG 6 1.9 DTi (2013) CAR review

Ollie Kew, 07 May 2013 14:00

The first new car of MG’s Chinese-owned era, the MG 6, now has a turbodiesel engine. The 50mpg motor, which joins the range alongside the 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol, starts from £16,995. CAR drove the MG 6 DTi in mid-spec SE form to see if China has a contender, or an also ran. Is the MG 6 endowed with a competitive new diesel engine? It’s nothing revolutionary, if you’ll ...

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

2.5

Ollie Kew, 07 May 2013 13:50

Nissan has updated its Qashqai crossover for 2013. On the new ‘360’ trim level which replaces the mid-range Ntec+ trim, the headline news is a 360-degree view parking camera. It’s a familiar car now, but does its age mean the Qashqai has dropped off the pace? CAR tested the 1.6dCi version to find out. Isn’t the Qashqai getting a bit ...

Range Rover Sport prototype (2013) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 02 May 2013 13:30

Our first chance to drive the new Range Rover Sport has come sooner than we might have expected. It had its world debut at the New York auto show a month ago, yet here we are in the UK at Land Rover's Gaydon test track, looking at a prototype with its driver's door open and engine running. While we'd reiterate ...

VW XL1 (2013) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 01 May 2013 16:00

VW will build only 250 examples of its super-streamlined 313mpg XL1. CAR’s Georg Kacher has driven one of them to find out if it really can achieve its amazing claimed economy figures. First impressions of the VW XL1 You enter the vehicle through mighty gullwing doors which are blown open by little integrated pyrotechnic devices should the poor thing ever ...

Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

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 ...
