Audi A1 1.2 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

VW Polo Bluemotion 1.4 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 03 June 2007 02:35

If 4Motion means four-wheel drive, what’s this Bluemotion all about? Nothing to do with four-wheel drive - or going fast. It’s Volkswagen’s ecological brand applied to the most efficient and economical models in each range, so probably should have been called Greenmotion. A Passat Bluemotion was unveiled at the Geneva show and other versions will follow. So how green, sorry, ...

Proton Satria Neo 1.6 GSX (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 29 March 2007 07:28

Well there’s a blast from the past. A pretty unwelcome one at that Hold on there. Don’t you remember the old Satria GTi? Okay, so the engine was rough as a a belt-driven sander and the square exhausts and riveted-on arches looked terrible, but it drove well. Very well in fact, because it had been for a chassis work-out at ...

Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 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 ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi (2006) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 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-, ...
