Peugeot RCZ 200 (2011) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 18 March 2011 14:00

Peugeot’s brilliant RCZ coupe couldn’t quite topple the VW Scirocco and Audi TT when we tested the trio last year in diesel form. Now we’ve tried the 197bhp petrol RCZ 200 to see if it’s good enough to be the coupe of choice. 197bhp, you say? Has the Peugeot RCZ 200 bought in a load of hot Clio engines from arch rival ...

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 05 November 2010 09:12

Volkswagen says the new 2011 Passat takes… Actually, can I just interrupt you there to say the Passat Mk7 isn't new, it’s a bloody facelift. New lights, new grille, Bob ist ihr onkel. Okay, so the new, seventh-gen VW Passat does use the same platform as the 2006 car, but Volkswagen claims that every panel is new. But it manages to look almost ...

Mercedes E250 CDI (2009) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 16 March 2009 09:23

Mercedes' all-new E-class has a tough job on its hands. Throughout the '60s, '70s and '80s Mercedes dominated the medium-sized executive saloon market with cars like the W123 and W124. Cars so tough that you regularly still see them working hard for a living around the world. But then build quality disappeared, the styling became bland and the magic faded. ...

Mercedes CLS320 CDI facelift (2008) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 24 April 2008 10:01

It’s facelift time for Merc’s banana-shaped CLS, a coupe/saloon crossover based on the dull old E-class. It hasn’t been around for long so there are no big changes for this mid-life refresh, just minor cosmetic tweaks to keep it looking contemporary in a line-up of newer Benz products. So guide me through the headline stuff for the Mercedes CLS320 CDI ...

Subaru Impreza RB320 CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 26 April 2007 08:13

Another special edition Impreza. We must be into three figures by now Probably. This one’s the RB320, built as a tribute to the late former WRC champ Richard Burns who died in 2005, hence the RB in the name. The 320 bit refers to the output in bhp and also the production run. A tribute! It looks fantastic but it’s ...

Mercedes SLK200 Edition 10 (2007) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 05 March 2007 03:46

So what's Mercedes come up with to mark the SLK's first decade? The SLK Edition 10, a special version of the roadster with some very special paint. No different mechanically from the existing production cars, the Edition 10 is distinguished by 10-spoke, 17-inch wheels finished in chrome-shadow, and dark tinted rear lights. Most Edition 10s will come finished in black ...

Mercedes CLK63 AMG (2006) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 26 July 2006 12:06

Another manic Merc? So how many squillion horsepower does this one have? It's not the car that's important, more what's changed under the bonnet. This is our first taste of a road car powered by AMG's new naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8. It's the company's first ever ground up engine (the others having all been based on existing Benz motors) and ...

BMW Z4 M Roadster (2006) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 20 July 2006 16:41

So, Munich's TVR is back? That's right, but this one's a bit more sophisticated than the Z3-based version from the late 1990s. It's got the current M3's multi-award-winning straight six and no trace of the old M roadster's ancient semi-trailing arm rear suspension. Not much to look at, is it? It's certainly more discreet than the old M whose bulging ...
