Peugeot 4007 DCS (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 08 December 2009 09:56

Peugeot 4007? Hmm. What’s new that we can tell you about that? It’s still a renosed, rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander, it still has a Citroën C-Crosser sibling, and it’s still pretty decent if rather pricey and lightweight. Only now you can mix Mitsubishi’s dual-clutch six-speed transmission with PSA’s 2.2-litre HDi turbodiesel. A fine pairing? Let’s find out. Mitsubishi? Dual-clutch? Must be ...

Honda Accord Type S Tourer (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 08 July 2009 14:56

The 2.2-litre diesel engine in Honda’s Accord looked a little undernourished on paper – until now. It’s been boosted by 30bhp to a much more competitive 178bhp, and torque is up from 258lb ft to 280lb ft – and spread from 2000-2750rpm. To capitalise on the extra grunt, Honda’s added a new model at the top of the Accord range, ...

BMW 318d (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 03 July 2009 09:21

Okay, so it’s a bit niche, but combining the lower-powered 3-series diesel with the ES trim pack and auto transmission makes for a brisk yet restful saloon. Could it be the perfect choice for motorway-bound user-choosers? Lower-powered diesel. Auto-box. Hmm… No, this is certainly no 335i on the cheap. But look at what you do get under the bonnet. With ...

Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 25 December 2008 23:35

Audi’s dinked the A5’s old 1.8-litre base engine, and brought in this 2.0-litre turbo, that kicks off the range in 178bhp front-drive mode for £26,150. There’s also this 208bhp version, tested here with Quattro four-wheel drive. Great-looking car, the Audi A5. Is it great to drive too? The A5 is more than just a chopped-down A4. Take a peek behind ...

Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro (2008) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 20 May 2008 10:09

Pick the optimum combo for a compact exec and the Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro might spring to mind: V6 diesel grunt and smoothness, the handling promise of four-wheel drive, suave looks and finish and a tempting equipment level. It costs nearly £30k (more like £42k, optioned-up like the test car) – and there’s stiff competition at that level, ...

BMW 120i SE Convertible (2008) driven CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 25 April 2008 10:16

Remember when the BMW 3-series convertible had a fabric roof? It wasn’t always an upmarket folding tin-top. So a gap’s opened up beneath it. A gap that’s a perfect fit for a smart and decently engineered rag-top that’s just about big enough to squeeze your kids in the back. Enter the BMW 1-series Convertible. Hang on. £25k? Sounds a bit ...

Volvo C70 2.0D SE (2008) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 04 January 2008 11:52

Volvo launched the C70 with a USP: it was the world’s first four-seat premium convertible with a retractable steel roof. It’s a questionable claim. Is a Volvo that shares much of its underpinnings with a Ford Focus truly premium? Hmm. And, even if it was the first, it’s no longer the only. BMW’s 3-series convertible is a real alternative. Why ...
