Seat Ibiza Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Richard Aucock, 05 December 2008 11:29

Less than a year after it launched the first Ibiza Ecomotive Seat is back with a second-generation environmentally friendly Spanish supermini. And rather than an end-of-life run-out like the first car, the new Seat Ibiza Ecomotive is here to stay for the next few years. Compared with the old car the all-important fuel economy and CO2 figures are improved, from 74.3mpg and 99g/km CO2 ...

Ssangyong Kyron 2.0 S 2WD (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 20 June 2008 09:03

Completing our test of the relaunched SsangYong range is this: the Kyron 4x4. Straddling compact and working SUV status, the Kyron was previously saddled with naïve pricing that punched way above its weight. Now, a 2WD version values it at a more reasonable £14,995, with a 4WD alternative for £2k more. It makes much more sense as a result – ...

Ssangyong Rodius 270 S (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 12 June 2008 09:37

The Rodius is a well established winner... In ugly car awards, that is. So let’s look at the method in the madness, instead. Yes, it’s huge – stretching to over five metres in length – and that yields mammoth space for seven, in a 2-2-3 layout that encourages open-plan sensations. The middle seats swivel round for a power-crazed conference room ...

Chevrolet Epica 2.0D LS (2008) driven CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 15 May 2008 09:13

The Chevrolet Epica probably isn’t a car review you’ve been waiting for, but the real appeal lies in what dealers stick to the windscreen: £13,595. A typo? No, a price that buys you a base Epica. Really. A car longer than a Porsche Cayenne – and one with a straight-six petrol engine under the broad, commanding hood. Yes, just like ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.6 SRi (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 11 December 2007 11:23

Vauxhall has revived the boy racer’s machine of choice. But rather than Nova SR, it's now called Corsa SRi, and you can even get a diesel. But we've got the turbocharged car on test, with a detuned version of the Corsa VXR's engine. Just think, in eight years times the streets will be lined with lots of white SRis. Hang ...

Smart Fortwo Brabus (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Richard Aucock, 17 September 2007 09:00

The world’s fastest rollerskate is back, then? From spring 2008, yes. And those mentalists at Brabus have gone and made it even faster, too – by giving it 30 per cent more power. 30 per cent! Now it warbles out 98bhp with half-a-911-timbre, reaches 62mph (after a couple of nodding-dog gearchanges) in 9.9secs. And goes to – whoa – 95mph ...

Kia Ceed 1.6 S (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Richard Aucock, 30 November 2006 09:38

What's this: a Korean Focus rival with a grammar-busting name? Absolutely. This is the car Kia calls the Cee'd, with a rogue apostrophe to make punctuation pedant Lynne Truss – and us – blow a fuse. At CAR Online, this car shall be known as the Ceed. It’s a five-door hatch that’s Ford-sized, offers air con as standard, and is to be ...
