Audi S3 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 10 April 2013 16:00

This is the new Audi S3, a near-300bhp four-wheel drive hot hatch that’s as quick as a Porsche 911 and a rival for BMW’s M135i and the forthcoming Mercedes A45 AMG. Is it a VW Golf GTI turned up to 11, or just a faster Audi A3? Read on for our first drive review of the new Audi S3… How ...

Mercedes E250 SE (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 13 February 2013 07:00

This is Mercedes’s revised E-class, which ushers in new looks, new trim levels and new engines to take the fight to the BMW 5-series, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF. What’s new on the new Mercedes E-class? The most obvious change is the revised front, which ditches the outgoing car’s quad headlight arrangement for two more curvaceous lamps. The whole nose ...

Mercedes E300 Hybrid (2013 CAR review)

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 31 January 2013 09:00

As six-pot turbodiesels make way for four-cylinders, you’re increasingly unlikely to spy a 3 on the rump of any big German saloon. Hence you’re more likely to see 520d, E250 CDI and A6 2.0 TDI than 530d, E350 CDI and A6 3.0 TDI. But Mercedes is offering a way to get a 3 back on your bootlid while bettering the ...

Chrysler 300C 3.0 CRD (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 23 January 2013 11:54

CAR has driven the new Chrysler 300C in CRD V6 diesel form to see if it's a credible rival to German exec expresses like the Audi A6 and BMW 5-series. And can it possibly run as a possible half-price alternative to a Mercedes S-class? Read on for the full verdict. Not much change on the styling front for the 2013 ...

BMW 328i Touring (2012) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Chris Chilton, 10 October 2012 15:25

The 3-series Touring is a massively important car to UK buyers: BMW GB expects to shift over 35,000 new-shape 3-series in 2013, and 8000 of them will sport that fifth door. On sale in the UK from September, the fifth generation of BMW’s posh load lugger is 97mm longer than before, and measures 50mm longer between the wheels. Some of that extra ...

Mazda MX-5 GT (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 21 August 2012 14:00

Talk about stealing the limelight: so much has the focus been on the new Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ twins that just about everyone has forgotten about one key alternative, the Mazda MX-5. Now Mazda UK are hoping to put at stop to all that, with this MX-5 GT concept. A production car would be preferable, surely… Well, hopefully that’s ...

BMW M135i (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 06 July 2012 09:06

We drive the BMW M-tweaked 135i, the hottest yet in BMW’s new 1–series range So this is the replacement for the 1M, right?Not quite, it’s actually the latest installment in the rollout of BMW’s new M Performance programme. Cars like the M135i, X5 M50d and X6 M50d, bridge the gap between BMW’s regular cars and the super-quick stuff coming from ...

Range Rover Evoque Si4 Dynamic (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 29 June 2012 09:40

Given that a unique combination of battle cruiser-imperious boulevard behaviour and leap-tall-buildings-at-a-single-bound off-road capability remains an absolutely mandatory requirement of anything sporting a Range Rover badge (even if most owners would never contemplate the latter for fear of scuffing the paintwork or giving the Shitzhu undue cause for queasiness), a certain frisson of excitement always attends the impending gleam of ...

BMW 328i (2012) - CAR's BMW 3-series review

And for CAR Magazine's comprehensive guide to the new F30 BMW 3-series, click here. Anthony ffrench-Constant's review ...

Citroen DS5 Hybrid4 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 29 December 2011 19:00

The DS5 is Citroën’s most innovative car since the 1970s. It’s a beautiful, five-seat family car that looks like the lovechild of an MPV and an estate, and it bloods Peugeot-Citroën’s unique diesel/hybrid powertrain. The result should be a hatchback with a decent turn of pace, extraordinarily low fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and running costs, and a desirability unmatched in ...
