Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 19 February 2010 10:00

It’s taken three generations, but Nissan’s funky Cube has finally made it Europe through official channels. But is it a case of style over substance? Hmm, this latest Nissan Cube looks slightly less, well, square. Yes, some of the earlier car’s styling edge has gone, in both senses, but it’s still a striking looking car and stands out a mile ...

Skoda Octavia Combi 1.8 TSI facelift CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jed Maxwell, 29 January 2009 12:00

While Skoda’s Superb has been stealing headlines for the Czech firm lately, it’s easy to overlook the Octavia. But the smaller model remains Skoda’s best-seller and to ensure it stays that way it’s undergone a mid-life nip and tuck designed to prolong its appeal. But this is more than a cosmetic overhaul with mechanical improvements aimed at beefing up the ...

Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 28 January 2009 14:30

Sensible, practical, useful – MPVs are all of those things. What they’re not, is fun. Until now. The Citroen C3 Picasso does all the normal useful stuff you expect of a people mover, but does it in a much more entertaining way. Is the Citroen C3 Picasso the coolest MPV ever? I do have a bit of a soft spot for ...

Volvo S40 1.6 DRIVe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 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, ...

Jeep Wrangler 2.8 CRD (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 03 November 2006 09:00

You said this was a new Jeep Wrangler, but it looks exactly the same. Yes, we’re talking evolution rather than revolution for the new Wrangler. But you can’t blame Jeep for that. On the other side of the Atlantic, the Wrangler is a seriously beloved motoring icon, that Jeep daren’t change too much. So, like our own Land Rover Defender, ...

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 ...
