Audi Q3 2.0 TDI 138bhp FWD SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 27 March 2012 14:21

The Audi Q3 has only been around for a year, but the company continues to spin off variants at an alarming rate as it scatters new product into every which niche in the market. So here we have the latest Q3 model on test: a front-wheel drive, lower-powered 2.0-litre turbodiesel mustering 138bhp and with a simple stick shift (the pics ...

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 06 October 2011 18:00

Vauxhall is replacing the Zafira with the new Zafira Tourer - and it also isn't. Eh? What's with the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer? Well, the new Zafira Tourer you see here will be in addition to today's Zafira MPV. Rather like Renault with the Clio, Vauxhall plans to sell both old and new concurrently. The thinking is it'll give GM a ...

Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 06 September 2011 08:00

Peugeot Citroen have been showing Hybrid4 concepts for three years now - and finally the wait is over. The new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 is here - and we've driven it. UK sales start in November 2011. This is a significant car on numerous counts. It's the first series production diesel-electric hybrid on sale. It's the first time you or I have ...

Porsche Cayenne Diesel (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 16 August 2011 09:00

The Cayenne is the Porsche we all loved to hate. But is the Cayenne SUV now firmly accepted in the Porsche firmamentr? After all, most now understand the well worn argument that it funds the sports cars we all love. Porsche has built twice as many 4x4s as any other single model line so far this year, for crying out loud. So ...

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 02 August 2011 09:36

Rental cars. Not what they used to be. So when I touched down in Italy on my recent summer holiday, imagine my delight when my cheapest-possible-small-estate package turned out to be the new 2011 Ford Focus Estate – one of the few cars I've not driven. Ours was the popular 1.6 TDCI Focus in Studio trim, roughly equivalent in spec ...

Lotus Evora IPS auto (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 22 June 2011 12:00

The new Lotus Evora IPS has a very simple mission in life. New Lotus management are busy patching up their product range to expand Hethel’s footprint around the world – and much of the world prefers their cars to be automatics. Buyers in America and Asia, in particular, are likely to pick the two-pedal option, and Lotus predicts the new ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 22 April 2011 06:47

The new Ford Focus aims for the middle ground between the groundbreaking, sharp-steering first-generation Focus and the duller but smarter Mk2. In theory, if it can match the fun of the first with the quality of the second, it could be on to a good thing. The new 2011-spec Ford Focus has already – by a whisker – seen off the ...

Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 30 March 2011 10:00

Proof positive that downsizing is a serious trend: even sports car manufacturers are building superminis. Fiat’s Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is soon to be joined by the Aston Martin Cygnet and – perhaps – the Lotus supermini, not to mention numerous expensively tweaked John Cooper Works versions of BMW’s Mini. Small cars have never been posher, faster or pricier. We’re ...

Land Rover Freelander eD4 148bhp 2wd (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 09 February 2011 09:28

It’s a crazy world when Land Rover starts selling front-wheel drive cars and, at the other extreme, Ferrari launches a four-wheel drive estate. But these are challenging times for the motor industry. In the past decade Land Rover has been embroiled in more sustained political lobbying than today’s public enemy number one, the banking sector. So it should come as ...

Citroen C4 2.0 HDI Exclusive (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 01 February 2011 09:34

Approach the new Citroen C4 for the first time, as I did the other day, and you’re presented with a surprisingly smart hatchback with a softened soap-bar quality and a rare, look-at-me vibe. You won’t see many around, since Citroen only sold 15,500 C4s last year (in its run-out year). Put that in context: Volkswagen flogged 58,000 Golfs, Ford 78,000 ...
