Volvo S40 1.6 DRIVe (2009) CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 12 December 2008 10:40

To be taken seriously as a car firm these days it seems you need a low carbon dioxide model in your range. Volvo hasn’t had one up until now so it’s addressing that failing with three new models: eco versions of the C30, S40 and V50. They’re called DRIVe (pronounced Drive E) and the Swedish firm has big plans for ...

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 ...

Seat Ibiza Sport Coupe CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 03 July 2008 11:05

Seat’s Ibiza SportCoupe is further confirmation that car makers can no longer do anything as simple as producing three- and five-door versions of the same car. The five-door has to be family focused; the three-door – as with the Ibiza SportCoupe – is now aimed at a more youthful market altogether and carrying a new name. Don’t underestimate the importance of ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 23 June 2008 09:50

Mitsubishi calls the Lancer Sportback Ralliart the ‘missing link’. Which doesn't sound too promising. The missing link is a usually a put-down used to describe someone perhaps not as developed as they could be. What the Japanese maker actually means is that the Sportback – which uses the Ralliart badge in Europe for the first time – bridges the gap ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.5 GS1 CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 23 June 2008 09:40

One look at the Lancer Sportback and you might think that after styling the athletic and appealing Lancer Saloon, Mitsubishi’s designers suddenly ran short of talent. The hatch is a bit of an eyesore, but we’d better get accustomed to its awkward lines - because four-door C-segment saloons aren’t exactly popular in Europe, Mitsubishi needed a hatchback version to compete. ...

Hyundai i800 CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 20 May 2008 11:00

For seats, no current car can match the Hyundai i800. There’s nothing flash about the folding mechanism, nothing novel about its construction, nothing ground breaking about the use of space; it’s far more fundamental than that. Quite simply the Hyundai i800 has one more chair than any other MPV on the market. And that, combined with a £19,495 price tag, ...
