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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chevrolet Orlando 2.0 VCDi LTZ (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 30 November 2010 22:51

The new Chevrolet Orlando is Chevy's first foray into the mid-sized compact MPV market in Europe. CAR's just driven the Orlando people carrier in Spain to see how it compares with the new Ford C-Max, Renault Scenic, Vauxhall Zafira and their ilk. Read our first road test review of the new 2011 Orlando to see if it hits the spot. Chevrolet Orlando: ...

Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 24 November 2010 10:20

Suzuki is evaluating the Kizashi for UK sale. This is the first D-sector, family car entrant from Suzuki, which has historically specialised in small cars and rugged, good-value SUVs. Can the Suzuki Kizashi really tempt us out of our Mondeos and Insignias? Suzuki GB has imported a Kizashi 2.4 Sport to the UK for evaluation with dealers and selected media. ...

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi First Edition (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 22 July 2010 07:00

The new 2010 Sportage is the first fully modern Kia, we reckon. The first styled wholly under chief designer Peter Schreyer (he of Audi fame), who's only now making his influence felt after four years in charge of styling the Korean cars. So take note of this new Kia Sportage. It's the most comprehensive look yet at the new face of Kia. Tiger-snout grille? ...

Mazda 5 2.0 DISI (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 23 June 2010 11:34

Mazda will replace its 5 midi-MPV in autumn 2010 and CAR's just driven the new minivan. The new Mazda 5 (2010) is the first production car to bear the full fruits of the company's much-vaunted 'Nagare' design policy, with some highly unusual sculpting on the flanks. As you can read in our news story here, that design direction is being ...

Renault Fluence ZE electric car (2012) prototype review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 07 June 2010 16:26

Renault - and partner firm Nissan - are leading the charge into electric cars and we've just tested the first conventional EV from La Regie: the new 2012 Fluence ZE. Left hand drive models land from June 2011 and right hookers for the UK arrive on these shores in 2012. How much will Renault's Fluence ZE cost? It's not fixed ...

Peugeot Expert Tepee (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 26 September 2007 04:13

The Tepee? Has Peugeot hung out with Skoda for too long? Too many scout jokes for my liking! Yes, yes. Ignore the silly name, and you have another of the growing breed of vans being geared up for carrying bodies not builders. Ford has been doing it for years with the Transit, but Peugeot is now getting in on the ...
