BMW 328i Touring (2012) CAR review

4.5

Chris Chilton, 10 October 2012 15:25

The 3-series Touring is a massively important car to UK buyers: BMW GB expects to shift over 35,000 new-shape 3-series in 2013, and 8000 of them will sport that fifth door. On sale in the UK from September, the fifth generation of BMW’s posh load lugger is 97mm longer than before, and measures 50mm longer between the wheels. Some of that extra ...

BMW M135i (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 06 July 2012 09:06

We drive the BMW M-tweaked 135i, the hottest yet in BMW’s new 1–series range So this is the replacement for the 1M, right?Not quite, it’s actually the latest installment in the rollout of BMW’s new M Performance programme. Cars like the M135i, X5 M50d and X6 M50d, bridge the gap between BMW’s regular cars and the super-quick stuff coming from ...

Volvo S60 Polestar (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 21 June 2012 07:00

Polestar, the Swedish race team behind last year’s 450bhp C30 hatch, have turned their attention to the mild-mannered S60, changing it into a 500bhp M3 eater A 500bhp S60!? Is Volvo having a midlife crisis? If it is, it ought to have them more often. Taking the S60 T6 as a base, Polestar stuck with the transversely-mounted straight six, but ...

Nissan GT-R Track Pack (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 24 May 2012 08:59

This is the Nissan GT-R Track Pack, a stripped-down, pumped-up Japanese coupe with designs on the 911 GT3. A GT-R GT3? Isn’t what the Spec V was all about. The GT-R Spec V was certainly the hardcore GT-R, but it was also obscenely expensive – double the price of the standard car. The Track Pack only costs around £10k extra but still ...

Mercedes SL63 AMG (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 09 May 2012 10:44

After a few years on the naturally-aspirated temperance wagon, the AMG-fettled SL V8 is back on the boost, with a downsized twin-turbo engine and all-new aluminium clothes. Read on for CAR Magazine's first drive review of the new 2012 Merc SL63 AMG. So the orginal SL55 was powered by a supercharged 5.5, and the outgoing SL63 by a naturally aspirated ...

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2011 09:54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 13 July 2011 09:00

The Edition 35 is Volkswagen’s way of celebrating 35 years of the Golf GTi – it wasn’t the first hot hatch, but it was the first that actually mattered. But as anniversary presents go, is it a diamond ring, or does it feel more like a bunch of garage flowers? Wow, the VW Golf 35! It looks…exactly the same as ...

Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 11 July 2011 12:00

Renault’s new Megane RS 265 Trophy recently smashed the Nurburgring lap record for front-wheel drive cars. But does that translate into more on-road fun? Read on for our first drive of the new Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy to find out... I didn’t even know there was a lap record for FWD cars. It’s a bit like hearing that Blackburn reserves beat ...
