Kia Ceed EcoDynamics (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 23 December 2009 08:15

Kia’s facelifted the Ceed in fairly subtle style. Bar the new nose (which makes it look like a last-gen Astra), only details such as the dashboard’s new centre console are fresh. But this green-tinged EcoDynamics version takes Kia into new territory, even if the blandly attractive styling, good-value pricing and seven-year warranty mean the Kia proposition is otherwise unchanged. How ...

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 ...

Toyota Urban Cruiser 1.3 2WD (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 15 April 2009 12:27

Don’t laugh too loudly at the name. With the Urban Cruiser, Toyota’s clearly cashing in on its brutish 4x4 Land Cruiser branding (there was once a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine-style Space Cruiser too) rather than deliberately evoking images of kerbcrawlers. It’s attached to a Kia Soul-style MPV-lite body, that’s really little more than a built-up supermini, complete with 1.3-litre) Yaris ...

Ford Fiesta 1.25 (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 11 February 2009 10:30

Ford expects the 1.4-litre petrol version of the Fiesta to be the best-seller. And that’s fine, but we’ve a sneaking suspicion you might be missing out on the sweet-spot in the Fiesta range. The best news is that it’ll actually cost you less too, both to buy and to run. Because we’re talking about the smallest engine in the range: ...

Ford Ka 1.3 TDCi (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 05 February 2009 13:27

Ford’s just launched a diesel version of the new Ka. And why not? All the hardware was there for the taking because the Ka is based on the Fiat Panda/500 platform, so that’s where the engines come from too. This one’s a 1.3-litre common-rail turbodiesel with 74bhp, so it’s 7bhp up on the Fiesta’s PSA-sourced 1.4. The question is, will ...

Ford Fiesta Econetic (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 02 February 2009 09:00

Ford’s gone green with the Fiesta, and added an Econetic version to the range. The usual green mods are present: low rolling-resistance tyres, lowered suspension, rear air deflectors, a modified ECU (peak torque is actually 6lb ft down on the standard engine), low-viscosity oil and a higher final drive. Oh yeah, and it’s got one of those annoying lights that ...

Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 18 November 2008 09:50

You’re going to see an awful lot of the new Ford Fiesta pretty soon. It’s bound to take its traditional place near the top of the British sales charts, and it deserves to do so far more than ever before. But though there’ll be plenty around, I’d wager three-quarters of them will be petrol-powered – the smaller you go, the ...

Ford Fiesta ST500 (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 17 September 2008 09:45

Remember the old days when cars had steering feel? Well, get queuing up, because this could be your last chance to buy one. It’s the Fiesta ST500, Ford’s last hurrah with the old-gen car before new Fiestas flood the roads. The old days and a Ford Fiesta? I know where you’re coming from… Absolutely. This Fiesta is well past its sell-by date, ...
