Peugeot 208 1.6 e-HDi (2012) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 14 March 2012 10:56

CAR's first review of the new 2012 Peugeot 208 comes at a crucial time in the French company's history. For much of the past decade, the something-oh-seven cars have failed to excite us, or many other enthusiasts. Blame the big-mouthed, slabby designs, the so-so dynamics or the caught-up competition – but stuff like the 207 and 307 just haven't kindled our imagination ...

Mazda Demio EV (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 06 December 2011 12:20

So this is the electric version of Mazda’s Demio (that’s the Madza 2, to you and I), the company’s first modern all-electric car. It’s a development tool, and not aimed at production yet. If you’re reading this with a fair amount of confusion and thinking ‘Hang about, I thought Mazda was doing that SkyActiv malarkey,’ you’re right. Mazda is vigorously and ...

Mini Coupe JCW (2011) CAR review

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

2.5

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 ...

Audi A1 Quattro prototype (2011) CAR review

3.5

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 ...

Suzuki Swift 1.2 SZ4 (2010) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 28 September 2010 07:00

Don’t adjust your computer screens – yes, this IS the all-new 2010 Suzuki Swift. Rather than being put a through rigorous makeover, first impressions hint at the briefest of tweaks, as if Suzuki’s arty types have done a Design While-You-Wait. But experience tells us that first impressions are often wrong. The Swift is a hugely important car for Suzuki, who ...

Audi A1 1.4 TFSI (2010) new CAR review

Chris Chilton, 16 June 2010 10:08

Move over Mini – the new Audi A1 is finally here. It only took them 10 years to catch up with BMW's success story. You have to wonder why it took so long for the A1 to come to market. This isn’t anything like as radical as the old aluminium A2. It’s basically a reskinned Polo with better engines and ...

Nissan Leaf (2010) electric prototype CAR review

Gavin Green, 11 June 2010 00:01

It’s finally here. The world’s first practical affordable electric production car that doesn’t look like it’s designed by a kid with a crayon and driven by Noddy. The Nissan Leaf may not be an exciting car. But it is an important one. If it sells – and Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is betting his company’s future on it – this ...

Alfa Romeo Mito 1.3 JTD Veloce (2010) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 29 April 2010 10:56

The Alfa Romeo Mito has got under the skin of us here at CAR. We're starting to see them on the road in some numbers – helped no doubt by the smashing £8995 scrappage deal under recent Government incentives – and to these eyes it's the best looking supermini by miles. It's arguably the first car to dislodge the Mini ...

VW Polo 1.4 (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 14 October 2009 12:23

The big news for the new VW Polo was the new 1.2 TSI, with a turbo to push its tiny four-pot to 104bhp. But that’s the range-topper. Volkswagen expects most buyers to opt for the piddling 59bhp naturally aspirated 1.2, closely followed by this better-nourished 84bhp 1.4. In five-door SE spec, the latter is yours for £12,450 – which will ...
