BMW 316d ES (2009) CAR review

BMW 316d ES (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (2009) CAR review

Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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. ...

Audi A6 2.0 TDIe (2008) CAR review

Audi A6 2.0 TDIe (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Glen Waddington, 29 September 2008 12:40

There’s an all-important headline figure for the new Audi A6 2.0TDIe, and it’s not 53.3mpg – however impressive that may be. No, of greater importance is its carbon emission figure of 139g/km, sneaking this A6 beneath the 140g/km tax barrier. Its £24,800 list price is pretty impressive, too: this is a big Audi after all, and it comes with most ...

Mercedes C180 SE (2008) CAR review

Mercedes C180 SE (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 07 January 2008 09:00

Four cylinders? A manual gearbox? Not traditionally attractive territory for a Mercedes, especially if you’re talking petrol rather than diesel. But Mercedes hopes you’ll go for this car rather than BMW’s 318i ES, and pay a couple of grand more for the extra 12bhp and 14lb ft afforded by the Merc’s supercharged engine. Taxi spec doesn’t do it for me... ...

Honda Accord Sport GT (2007) CAR review

Honda Accord Sport GT (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 01 November 2007 09:51

The Accord. Been around a while now, hasn’t it? Yep, that’s right. The seventh generation Honda Accord has been around since 2003, and it’s been popular all that time thanks to its sharp looks, precise build quality and a range that includes a diesel and an estate. There’s little that’s radically new about the Sport GT. It’s aimed directly at ...
