Hyundai i20 (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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, ...

Jeep Compass 2.0 CRD Limited manual (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Jed Maxwell, 02 March 2007 10:00

Is this the much vaunted ‘Jeep for ladies’ then? Well sort of. This is Jeep’s first ‘compact sport utility’ and it’s hoping the softer more modern lines will appeal to drivers who want a Jeep but don’t want to look all checked shirt and hairy arsed. They’ve made it more on-road biased and more economical and easier to live with, too, ...

Chrysler Sebring 2.0 CRD (2006) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Jed Maxwell, 30 October 2006 08:30

Chrysler Sebring – that sounds vaguely familiar...? The Sebring has been out in the US since 1998 where it has been a reasonable seller, but hardly set showrooms alight. Even so, that’s more than could be said for the Cabriolet versions that the UK importer bought over here in 2001 and 2002 - it sold just 35 of them in ...

Dodge Nitro 3.7 SXT (2006) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Jed Maxwell, 02 October 2006 09:30

Dodge Nitro? Sounds pretty explosive. What’s it all about? It’s a Land Rover Freelander-sized SUV designed to appeal to the macho man that Chrysler believe is lurking in every buyer. So it’s a pretty appropriate name. The Nitro’s a good looking motor in the metal too. It’s got terrific presence with that big flat front; a bit like a Discovery ...
