Chevrolet Aveo 1.2 (2012) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 09 May 2012 10:00

Bit of a surprise, Chevrolet's new Aveo supermini; pretty good looking inside and out, and, on an all-new platform, a rather tidy performer to boot. I must confess to having quickly given up the frantic, five-speed stick stirrings necessary to wring the neck of the 1.2-litre petrol engined version, and settled for amiable bumbling instead. Not that the Aveo won’t ...

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 16 January 2012 10:19

The new Subaru XV is a curious thing. Despite the styling iniquities visited on the likes of the once-wholesome Forester and Impreza of late, there is still a tremendous groundswell of goodwill towards Subaru out there. Which makes it all the more difficult to fathom why, far from trying to rekindle the interest of its core customer base by vigorously ...

Honda Civic 1.8 iVTEC EX-GT (2011) CAR review

3.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 02 November 2011 10:00

Honda is nothing if not attentive to its customers. This, allied to bullet-proof build quality, metronomic reliability and ironclad residuals, explains why so many of them keep coming back for more. So it’s hardly surprising that it was to its customers that Honda turned first when hatching this new, ninth generation Civic. Five areas were identified for attention: the ‘polarising’ ...

Citroen C3 1.6 HDi (2009) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 19 October 2009 15:44

The new Citroen C3 (2009) wades into a fizzed-up supermini marketplace. With the likes of the Ford Fiesta and VW’s new Polo raising the bar to Sergei Bubka heights in the B segment of late, anything not now boasting debutante levels of deportment and style is going to have to rely on a price tag of little more than a ...

Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI (2009) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 27 July 2009 11:01

Even though Audi is seemingly hellbent on producing a different model for each and every one of its 100-year history, you’d be forgiven for questioning the imposition of five-door hatchback status on anything quite as pretty as the original A5 Coupé. There is, however, method in this ostensible madness because, with Saab’s 9-3 hatch now defunct and BMW’s 5-series GT ...

Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI (2009) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 19 June 2009 15:20

Don’t like it? Blame Nissan. Stung into action by the remarkable success of the Qashqai (which last year recorded a 7% increase in UK sales when the whole market was down 12%), Skoda clearly feel that making the fifth model in their line-up a crossover will give them a slice of just about the only action around at the moment. ...

Renault Grand Scenic 1.4 TCe (2009) CAR review

3.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 20 April 2009 10:30

Ho hum… Another day, another compact family MPV. Only this time we really should sit up and pay attention at the back. After all, Renault started the whole boiling with the first Scenic back in … oh, 1873, and three generations on - and having finally found sufficient brand confidence to drop the Megane moniker - you’d expect Renault to have ...

Saab 9-3X 2.0T (2009) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 02 March 2009 09:00

Road testing any Saab in the current anvil-off-a-cliff company climate feels uncomfortably akin to reviewing a restaurant which has just served up perfectly roasted slices of the last remaining dodo. And road testing the new 9-3X is all the more frustrating for the fact that it should have been with us a good decade ago. Apportioning blame for this sorry ...

Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 TCe 180 (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 03 November 2008 14:00

Though the front always struck me as a tad clunky and corporate, I’ve long admired the relentlessly shaken and gently stirring rump of this new Renault Megane’s predecessor. Trouble is, it seems that the majority of Britons, along with all too many Italians, have not… Why not? What's wrong with the Renault Megane? Renault makes no bones about the fact ...

Vauxhall Insignia 2.8 V6 4x4 (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 30 October 2008 11:17

Twenty minutes into a vigorous hoon in this 2.8-litre V6 powered, four-wheel drive flagship of the new Vauxhall Insignia range, all I could think of was pub grub. No, the launch proceedings food was perfectly fine, thank you… after a plenty-of-added-Austrian-lard fashion. It simply struck me that, these days, there’s a surprising parity between tavern nosh and this much diminished ...
