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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta (2011) CAR review

2.5

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 ...

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 1.2 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 18 June 2010 09:55

As promised we’ve got our hands on a different Audi A1 model, the most basic car I could find on the launch: a 1.2 manual. This being a press launch of course, it still had sat-nav and 16s rather than the standard 15in alloys plus various other options, but this is almost the £13,145 bottom rung on the Audi ladder. ...

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 ...

Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDI long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 15 March 2010 10:01

Final report, 15 March 2010 Our six months or so with the C3 Picasso have rushed past and it's off back to Citroën HQ. I think this car has served as a good reminder for what the long-term test is all about. I'm sure plenty of you think there's a mad scramble for the Ferrari keys when the latest supercar ...
