VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Pulman, 02 February 2012 10:00

This is the Volkswagen Up, a little city car we’ve been excited about ever since the first rear-engined and rear-wheel drive concept was unveiled in 2007. Alas a layout akin to the original people’s car (the Beetle) proved too expensive to develop in the 21st century, so the production car is standard urban runabout fare – i.e. front-engined and front-wheel ...

VW Sharan (2011) CAR review

VW Sharan (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Al Suttie, 02 June 2011 13:00

The new VW Sharan slipped discretely into the MPV marketplace in 2010, replacing a people carrier that had been first launched in 1995. Back in the mid-90s, the Sharan was a product of a joint venture with Ford that saw the original Ford Galaxy, and the Seat Alhambra sharing the same platform. Ford went its own way in 2006, with ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI SWB (2010) CAR review

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI SWB (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

This is Volkswagen’s revised 2010 Phaeton, an updated version of the German car company’s luxurious limousine. The Phaeton, along with the (much more successful) Touareg, was key to VW Group overlord Ferdinand Piëch’s plan to move the brand upmarket. A people’s car it ain’t, but then the Phaeton’s never had the kudos to compete head-on with BMW, Merc, Audi and ...

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Volkswagen says the new 2011 Passat takes… Actually, can I just interrupt you there to say the Passat Mk7 isn't new, it’s a bloody facelift. New lights, new grille, Bob ist ihr onkel. Okay, so the new, seventh-gen VW Passat does use the same platform as the 2006 car, but Volkswagen claims that every panel is new. But it manages to look almost ...

VW Polo GTI (2010) CAR review

VW Polo GTI (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

If you don’t love the Volkswagen Golf GTI, then at the very least you’ll probably begrudgingly respect its brilliant mix of great build quality, a good engine and everyday usability. But the latest Mk6 Golf GTI is just a little too rounded and refined, so what about something from the class below? Step forward VW’s new Polo GTI, with a ...

VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI (2010) CAR long-term test

VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI (2010) CAR long-term test

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

The CAR team, 10 May 2010 09:54

Long-term test review - 10 May 2010 Had the editor’s VW Scirocco at the weekend and came away mightily impressed. It’s not a car I would buy – space is at a premium and that kiwi fruit green paint job and black wheels are too look-at-me – but if I were in the market for a two-door coupe, the Scirocco ...

Long term update - 29 December 2008 We get a lot of readers asking what cars we own ourselves and although I'm lucky that even being just the Art director I get a good chance to drive lots of cars. But I live in the real world and actually do own a vehicle. Its a VW golf 1.9 td (1998), oh and ...

VW Golf GTD (2009) CAR review

VW Golf GTD (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Colin Overland, 01 July 2009 10:33

There are plenty of reasons for wanting a VW Golf, and they’re the same reasons that generally applied to all five previous generations. It’s a car that distils everything VW knows about providing do-everything motoring in a reasonably compact, affordable-ish package. If you buy into the Golf idea, and you want it badged VW rather than Skoda, Audi, Seat or ...

VW Polo 1.2 TSI 5dr (2009) CAR review

VW Polo 1.2 TSI 5dr (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 11 May 2009 09:26

The new Volkswagen Polo could be one of two things: A) a shrunken Golf, which despite hardly changing from Mk5 to Mk6, still leads the mid-sized hatchback class as middle England’s favourite runabout. Or B) nothing more than a reskinned Seat Ibiza, which although well built, is hardly dynamically inspiring. Now we’ve driven the new VW Polo (2009), we can ...

Despite the residue of hundreds of kilted Scottish football supporters who were far too sloshed to find the airport after the World Cup qualifying match – and, for that matter, probably still are – Reykjavik is an outstanding city from which to launch a car. Compared to anything else on offer on the planet, the surrounding scenery is absolutely brand spanking new ...
