Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 04 January 2009 20:50

It doesn’t feel as though it’s been around that long, but four years have passed since Mitsubishi launched its wedgy baby, the Colt. So it’s had a fiddle. Nothing that looks too substantial, despite claims that the latest car shares only 35% of the old one’s bits. But you won’t fail to notice the Lancer-style nose. So what do I ...

Seat Ibiza Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

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 ...

Hyundai i20 (2008) CAR review and video

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 ...

Vauxhall Agila 1.2 CAR review

Glen Waddington, 22 February 2008 11:53

Gone is the felled phonebox look of the old Agila. Here is the newest, smallest member of Vauxhall’s ‘monocab’ family, slotting below the Meriva and Zafira and offering a budget-conscious, utility-focused baby sibling to the Corsa. But haven’t we seen it before? I thought the Agila looked familiar… Certainly does. That’s because the new Agila is really a rebadged Suzuki Splash. Sheet ...

Suzuki Splash 1.2 GLS+ CAR review

CJ Hubbard, 08 February 2008 11:30

This is Suzuki's new Splash, and please, no jokes about making waves. Suzuki claims the name represents the refreshing change the Splash brings to the mini-MPV market, or something. Whatever – it's catchy enough, and a damn sight better than Agila; the new one of those is from the same platform as the Splash, and manufactured for Vauxhall by Suzuki. But ...

Mini One and Cooper D CAR review

Anonymous, 19 April 2007 01:53

This is old news isn't it? We've seen this new new MINI before... Ah, but no. You've seen the new Cooper, and the new Cooper S - the sportiest models. This brand spanking pair of cheery-faced tearaways comprise the Mk II entry-level Mini One, and suspiciously unsporty-sounding Cooper D. Yes, that is D for Diesel. We do understand your confusion, ...

Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDi CAR review

Anonymous, 05 February 2007 11:48

Looks like the new Roomster, but without the cut-and-shut treatment That’s because the Fabia and Roomster are the only Skodas so far to wear the new corporate nose. The Czech firm wants to move away from the ultra-conservative styling of cars like the Octavia. So it’s equally new underneath? Not quite. Volkswagen used the first Fabia as a testing ground ...

Mini Cooper CAR review

Anonymous, 06 November 2006 09:50

A new Mini Cooper? Doesn't look that new… It really is a new car – every body panel has changed, new engine and new interior too – although it looks familiar and CAR Online has already tested the new Mini Mk2 in hot Cooper S form. Mini's owner BMW says the Mini is a bit like a Porsche 911 – ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi CAR review

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-, ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 CAR review

Anonymous, 21 August 2006 00:01

Give me the lowdown This is the all-new Corsa, a car Vauxhall vows will banish the Corsa's traditional reputation of being pretty but underwhelming. It's longer and wider than today's car and weighs a little more, but some models cost a little less and in 200bhp, turbocharged VXR trim it will be the fastest Corsa ever. The Corsa has a ...
