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 ...

Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer 1.6T (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 15 June 2009 10:00

The Vectra estate majored on space but looked as sexy as a stack of bottle crates. The Insignia hatch and saloon have turned their backs on the functional nature of the old Vectra, and the new Sports Tourer does the same to such an extent that Vauxhall couldn’t bring itself to label it an estate. But if it’s now sexy, ...

Toyota Verso TR 2.0 D-4D (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 08 June 2009 09:40

Toyota’s medium people-carrier is in its third incarnation now, complete with seven seats as standard for every model, this time. Trouble is, it’s a crowded market, with everyone in on the act since Renault’s Megane Scenic kick-started things in 1996. Can Toyota’s latest effort be enough to make it stand out? Okay, it’s a Toyota, so I’m not expecting an ...

Nissan Qashqai+2 1.5dCi (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 22 January 2009 10:00

Live for the unexpected. That’s Nissan’s slogan for the Qashqai. And what you might not expect is a 1.5-litre diesel engine where the 2.0-litre normally lives. This is a big car – the +2 is 211mm longer than the standard Qashqai and weighs 1604kg – so the newly introduced small engine might not be your first choice. Question is, should ...

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, ...

Audi A3 1.4 TSI (2008) Sport CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 25 March 2008 11:35

Logic dictates that you should just ignore the Audi A3 and buy a Golf, because it's more spacious, cheaper and better-equipped. But logic would deny you an appealing car if accommodation matters less to you than image. There's no denying the A3 is a slick little hatchback, and the hi-tech appeal of this little turbocharged 1.4-litre engine suits it well.An ...

Ford Mondeo Edge 1.8TDCi (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 05 February 2008 11:01

You can tell it’s a base model because of the black door handles. Check out the wheels too: 16in steelies with silver-painted plastic hubcaps. Not cool. But base-level Mondeos aren’t about cool. They’re about practicality and a hint of driving enjoyment for the family man/sales rep (delete as applicable). Just how basic is the basic Ford Mondeo? Get over the ...
