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

the CAR road test team, 10 May 2012 10:00

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

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 ...

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 ...

Suzuki Swift Sport (2011) CAR review

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

2.5

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

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 ...

Chrysler Ypsilon 0.9 TwinAir (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 25 May 2011 14:13

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 ...

Skoda Fabia Greenline II (2011) CAR review

Mark Hamilton, 25 May 2011 10:00

This is the Skoda Fabia Greenline II, the eco-warrior's edition of VW Group's budget supermini. Inside that familiar upright hatchback bodyshell sits the 1.2-litre three-cylinder TDI engine from the Polo Bluemotion, boasting headline eco statistics of 83.1mpg and 89g/km CO2. It's a compelling prospect for those seeking to avoid road tax and London congestion charging, but outside of the test ...
