Peugeot 308 GT THP 200 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Chris Chilton, 13 May 2011 10:29

‘In these modern times where comfort and convenience are becoming more important than ultimate performance, the Peugeot 308 GT THP 200 ticks all the boxes,’ says the worrying press release. So did Peugeot itself once again choose not to affix the i after G and T? Or did the i refuse to get involved point blank once it had seen ...

Subaru Legacy Tourer 2.0D (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 30 September 2009 13:46

Don’t you remember Colin McRae’s exploits in a Rothmans Legacy in the early 1990s? Or the Outback version that Audi ripped off for the A6 Allroad? Or the time Alf Thomson, the farmer in Postman Pat, rescued some newborn lambs stuck up a rutted farm track that demanded a hardy family car with standard four-wheel drive?  Quite possibly not, because ...

Renaultsport Megane R26R (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 27 October 2008 11:00

Dreaming of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS but living with a hot hatch budget? Renault’s stripped-to-the-bones Megane R26R is the answer. Based on the acclaimed R26, the R version is the most extreme factory hatch since Renault’s own Clio V6. But instead of adding a big engine and more kilos, Renault has left the engine alone and cut out the ...

VW Golf GTi Edition 30 (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2006 11:10

Has it really been 30 years since the original hot Golf first arrived? Actually the first 1.6-litre four-speed GTi went on sale in Germany in 1976 so the German market got its hands on this anniversary model last year. But Brits had to wait until 1977 for the first imports and even they were left hookers – right-hand drive didn’t ...

Volvo C30 D5 (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 20 November 2006 08:30

It’s been T5 this and T5 that, I’m pleased to see you’re finally going to tell me about the C30 that I can afford to fuel. We aim to please. Yes, the blown five-cylinder T5 sounds great and certainly delivers the goods (6.2sec 0-62mph) but it’s fond of a drink whatever Volvo’s official figures say. To be honest though, if ...

Land Rover Freelander 2.2 TD4 (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 27 October 2006 09:00

The overview This is Freelander 2, an all-new British-built small premium off-roader, not to mention the successor to the car that kicked off the whole market for such cars. The final Land Rover designed by Geoff Upex before his retirement, Freelander 2 is bigger - 50mm longer, 109mm wider and 32mm taller - than the old car, faster, better equipped ...

Mini Cooper S Works GP (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 20 July 2006 06:49

Another fast Mini? I can't keep up... This one's a bit special, a road-going evolution of the Cooper S Challenge race cars. Or, as the cynical might say, merely a PR stunt designed to maintain interest in the current Mini range before new New Mini Mk2 appears this autumn. Called the GP it's one of a limited run of 2000. ...
