Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 07 April 2010 10:30

Hmm. A straight set of four stars. Like getting all Bs in your GCSEs. You sure? You’re saying the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is a good all-rounder, a Mr Safe-Hands, rather than at the edgy end of party-in-the-pants brilliance? Well, not quite. But read on. Really? The new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet only gets four stars for performance? 0-62mph in ...

VW Golf SE 1.4 TSI Estate (2010) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 06 April 2010 15:29

Volkswagen hasn’t bothered to wreak the same transformation with the new Golf Estate as it did with the Golf hatchback, in the progression from Mk5 to Mk6. There are new engines, a new facia and a new nose, but the chassis and structure are pretty much left alone. So, should we feel cheated, or is a revamped old-shaped Golf estate ...

VW Golf Bluemotion 1.6 TDI (2010) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 01 February 2010 15:48

Eco-friendly cars are often grim, hair-shirted things that you suffer as penance for your emissions, even though they pump out less CO2 than their standard brethren. But the new VW Golf Bluemotion is none of that. It doesn’t look funny (it runs alloys and a lowered ride height), it’s not made of egg cartons inside (splash out £120 on leather ...

BMW 316d ES (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 27 November 2009 09:53

In the summer we tested BMW’s eco-diesel in the baby 1-series, and pretty good it was too. But what happens when you slip a mean-sounding 114bhp under the snout of the bigger 3-series? Is £35 annual tax sufficient recompense? And is the 316d really capable of 62.8mpg? Okay, the economy thing first. How good is the new BMW 316d in ...

Mercedes E220 CDI SE estate (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 15 October 2009 10:47

We’ve been getting to know the new E-class saloon for a few months and now Mercedes has launched the fifth-generation estate to match. Guess what? It’s springing no surprises. The engine range reflects everything the saloon offers, while the class-leading loadspace was designed with ease of use in mind and is supported by self-levelling air suspension and an electric tailgate ...

VW Polo 1.4 (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 14 October 2009 12:23

The big news for the new VW Polo was the new 1.2 TSI, with a turbo to push its tiny four-pot to 104bhp. But that’s the range-topper. Volkswagen expects most buyers to opt for the piddling 59bhp naturally aspirated 1.2, closely followed by this better-nourished 84bhp 1.4. In five-door SE spec, the latter is yours for £12,450 – which will ...

Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 19 August 2009 09:00

Skoda’s Octavia vRS has built up something of a cult following. Seems a bit unlikely, but factor in its hot-hatchy character, diesel economy and innate practicality and you’ve got to wonder what its rivals are – especially in estate format. Now it’s been facelifted and comes with VW’s latest common-rail engine. We’re testing it with the dual-clutch DSG paddleshift transmission. ...

Range Rover Sport 5.0 Supercharged (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 18 August 2009 09:00

If you’re a regular CAR Online visitor, you may already have read Ben Pulman’s report on the newly revised Range Rover Sport TDV6. So I’ll keep the news about the Sport’s general upgrades brief and concentrate on the headline news about this model: its new 5.0-litre supercharged V8. Thought that might prick up your ears. Does this new supercharged Range ...

Mercedes E500 Coupé (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 21 July 2009 09:30

It’s a two-door E-class – or is it? It’s a 5.0-litre – or is it? Well, E500’s a bit of a misnomer, because this is actually a 5.5-litre V8, and the underpinnings come from the C-class. Should make for an agile, powerful mile-eater then. Let’s see how the new E-class Coupé stacks up on the road. Er, 382bhp and the ...

Mercedes S63 AMG (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 09 July 2009 17:10

Merc’s sportiest engine gets stuffed into more than two tonnes’ worth of Merc’s biggest, fattest, most luxurious saloon. Madness? Or pure indulgence? The facelifted version – which promises a 3% improvement in fuel consumption and emissions over the outgoing car – arrives here in November, but CAR scored an early drive in a German-plated left-hander. A left-handed, 518bhp, two-tonne limo. ...
