Seat Ibiza Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Richard Aucock, 05 December 2008 11:29

Less than a year after it launched the first Ibiza Ecomotive Seat is back with a second-generation environmentally friendly Spanish supermini. And rather than an end-of-life run-out like the first car, the new Seat Ibiza Ecomotive is here to stay for the next few years. Compared with the old car the all-important fuel economy and CO2 figures are improved, from 74.3mpg and 99g/km CO2 ...

Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCI Zetec CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 18 November 2008 09:50

You’re going to see an awful lot of the new Ford Fiesta pretty soon. It’s bound to take its traditional place near the top of the British sales charts, and it deserves to do so far more than ever before. But though there’ll be plenty around, I’d wager three-quarters of them will be petrol-powered – the smaller you go, the ...

Hyundai i20 (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 3 out of 5

Jed Maxwell, 22 October 2008 15:00

Hyundai is brimming with confidence over its new i20 supermini. The firm asked buyers of the Getz – the model the i20 replaces – what they didn’t like about their car. Unsurprisingly, the wallowy handling, stodgy steering and noisy ride all featured. With the i20, Hyundai reckons it’s gone a long way towards righting those wrongs, hence its buoyancy. Hyundai didn’t exactly ...

Seat Ibiza 1.4 TDI Ecomotive CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 04 June 2008 10:00

The Seat Ibiza Ecomotive is one of the most smile-inducing cars I’ve driven this year. It’s not very powerful (79bhp) or expensive (£11k), but it does deliver a knock-out blow to your pocket – and conscience. Why? Because the Ibiza Ecomotive churns out a paltry 99g/km of CO2 and averages a scarcely credible 74mpg on the combined cycle. At last! ...

Fiat 500 1.3 MultiJet Sport CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 23 January 2008 13:55

Well, it’s finally here. The new Fiat 500 officially went on sale at 8pm on Monday 21 January – precisely 500 hours into the new year. And whether you like it or not, it seems destined to be the car of 2008, picking up awards left, right, and centre – including CAR’s very own Car of the Year accolade. But ...

VW Polo Bluemotion 1.4 TDi CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 03 June 2007 02:35

If 4Motion means four-wheel drive, what’s this Bluemotion all about? Nothing to do with four-wheel drive - or going fast. It’s Volkswagen’s ecological brand applied to the most efficient and economical models in each range, so probably should have been called Greenmotion. A Passat Bluemotion was unveiled at the Geneva show and other versions will follow. So how green, sorry, ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 25 October 2006 08:02

What is it? It's Vauxhall's successor to the, er, Corsa. CAR Online has already driven the 1.4 petrol version, likely to be the most popular in the range, and now we're taking a look at the other sensible choice, the 1.3 CDTi diesel, yours for £9695. It comes in sporty three-door and frumpier five-door shapes and in Life and Club-, ...

Peugeot 207 1.6 HDI CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 07 August 2006 02:20

Hang on, isn't that a 307? You're not far off. The new 207 doesn't just share the bigger car's styling but also gets tantalisingly close to its proportions too. It's 208mm longer than the 206 it replaces, which makes it about the same amount shorter than a 307. The weight has shot up by 122kg as well. The upside of ...
