Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line (2011) long-term test review

Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line (2011) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

  Audi's MMI system: does the A1's jukebox work? 10 May 2012 I love my music and when I found that the A1 could store music in its own jukebox, I was excited. This pleasure soon turned to doubt and then complete confusion. For those of you who did opt for the Audi MMI system I would love to hear feedback. Despite reading the manual, ...

Chevrolet Aveo 1.2 (2012) CAR review

Chevrolet Aveo 1.2 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 09 May 2012 10:00

Bit of a surprise, Chevrolet's new Aveo supermini; pretty good looking inside and out, and, on an all-new platform, a rather tidy performer to boot. I must confess to having quickly given up the frantic, five-speed stick stirrings necessary to wring the neck of the 1.2-litre petrol engined version, and settled for amiable bumbling instead. Not that the Aveo won’t ...

Suzuki Swift Sport (2011) CAR review

Suzuki Swift Sport (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 21 November 2011 10:27

In an age when Clios and Minis have 200bhp, Golfs and Meganes sport 250bhp, and the hottest A3 and 1-series offer up over 300bhp, Suzuki’s new Mk2 Swift Sport is a breath of (modest) fresh air. The four-cylinder engine remains at a mere 1.6 litres (naturally aspirated, of course), and despite it gaining a variable intake system and tweaked variable ...

Kia Rio 1.4 (2011) CAR review

Kia Rio 1.4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 17 October 2011 09:00

This is Kia’s new Rio, a B-segment rival for the Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 207. It costs from £10,595 to £14,895 and comes with a choice of four engines: 1.25-litre and 1.4-litre petrols, and 1.1-litre three-cylinder or 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbodiesels. The three-cylinder diesel produces just 85g/km C02 and delivers 88mpg – better than any current internal ...

Mini Coupe JCW (2011) CAR review

Mini Coupe JCW (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Steve Moody, 02 September 2011 14:48

Mini-logoed London buses, references to go kart-like handling, and a load of old nonsense about adventure. Yes, we’re here again with another Mini and all the usual brand messages are being poured out by the bucketload. This rather camp caravan of pastiche follows the brand wherever it goes and in the Countryman and Clubman, perhaps the buzz fell a little ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SE (2011) CAR review

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 26 May 2011 09:30

Vauxhall's Corsa is oft forgotten as Ford's Fiesta is a sweeter drive, the cabin quality of Volkswagen's Polo is peerless, and the likes of Hyundai offer better value and better warranties – ­hence the reason Vauxhall launched its 100,000-mile warranty last year to compete with Koreans. However, while the Fiesta topped the UK sales chart in 2010 (103,013 sold), the Corsa was ...

Chrysler Ypsilon 0.9 TwinAir (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

This is the new 2011 Lancia Ypsilon. Alas, this model isn’t about to spearhead a Lancia relaunch in the UK now or anytime in the near future. So why are we driving it? Because in the UK and Ireland Lancia’s little models are being rebadged as Chryslers, so this is in fact our first taste of a new supermini that ...

Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta (2011) CAR review

Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 05 May 2011 13:10

This is the new Nissan Micra, but it’s not the first time we’ve tested it. This is in fact our third exposure to Nissan’s new Micra: after testing a Thai-spec car in Thailand, and an almost-finished prototype on a test track in Japan, we’ve finally driven a UK car on UK roads. The Micra’s no longer a UK-built car though ...

Citroen DS3 Racing (2011) CAR review

Citroen DS3 Racing (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 11 April 2011 13:00

The Citroen DS3 Racing is a turbocharged 204bhp hot hatch that finally represents a road-going performance car link to Citroen's dominant World Rally Championship team. The Citroen DS3 Racing's WRC cousin is a safe bet for the 2011 WRC championship in the hands of Sebastien Loeb. Does the DS3 Racing live up to expectations? Read on for our first test of the ...

Audi A1 Quattro prototype (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 28 March 2011 09:30

From the A3 to A8, with the TT and R8 in between, every model in Audi’s range is available with four-wheel drive. Well, expect one: the A1. The platform that underpins Audi’s supermini (and is shared with the VW Polo, Skoda Fabia and Seat Ibiza) wasn’t built for four-wheel drive. And that front-wheel drive chassis is exactly the reason why ...
