Porsche Boxster S (2012) CAR review

Porsche Boxster S (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 09 March 2012 07:00

This is the all-new Porsche Boxster, the third generation of Porsche’s mid-engined drop-top. Just like its big brother, the 991-gen Porsche 911, there are big changes afoot: a new aluminium/steel hybrid bodyshell, significantly tweaked vital stats, a base engine that gets 200cc smaller while also gaining performance, and new electromechanical steering. Read on for our first drive review of the ...

Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 11 November 2011 09:26

What factors contribute to the size of your typical family? Costs, contraception, the size of the family home, the fear of having an uneven-numbered odd-one-out, divorce? One of my overbearing concerns has always been the limiting effect a larger family would have on my choice of car, both in terms of enjoyment and in purely practical concerns. Selfish, I know. ...

HSV Maloo E3 ute (2011) CAR review

HSV Maloo E3 ute (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 09 May 2011 11:50

This is the HSV Maloo E3, Holden’s hard-core performance ute. Normally we’d file this under ‘things we’ll never see’, but the petrolheads running Vauxhall’s VXR division have decided that UK customers can have the VXR8’s workhorse cousin on special order.  With that in mind, it seemed rude not to review the Maloo when we were in Australia. Ute? HSV Maloo E3? ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ-400 (2009) CAR review

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ-400 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 05 June 2009 13:00

Read the stats alone – 403bhp, 387lb ft, £50k, 0-62mph in 3.8sec – and it’s easy to dismiss the FQ-400 as being as out-of-step as an MP’s expenses claim. In fact, that’s just what I did – before I drove it. One hour of enthusiastic pedalling later, I was converted – this is the best Evo X. It is quantifiably ...

BMW M3 saloon (2008) CAR review

BMW M3 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 22 April 2008 09:59

The BMW M3 saloon has two more doors, weighs 25kg extra, features blander taillights and, at £49,415, costs £1415 less than its E92 coupe sibling. Anyone with an internet connection can work that out. But, and here’s the key question, does the saloon feel different to drive? A small digression. I owned an M3 saloon once. In fact, for six ...

Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder (2008) CAR review

Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 27 March 2008 09:52

Should Porsche dabble with special editions that raid its historical back catalogue? We've just driven the new Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder - the car that takes its name from the Porsche Type 718 RS 60 Spyder, the racer that Hans Herrmann and Olivier Gendebien drove to outright victory in the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring. At £45,400 the RS ...
