Ford Focus RS (2009) first ride

Ben Barry, 09 January 2009 00:01

CAR has been lucky enough to bag the first passenger ride in the new 2009 Ford Focus RS with Jost Capito, the man responsible for Ford Europe’s fastest-ever production car. We experienced the car at high speeds in an ideal mix of typically British conditions – dry, damp, even icy – to analyse how a front-wheel drive car with 301bhp ...

VW Sharan Bluemotion/Seat Alhambra Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 01 January 2009 09:00

It’s taken Volkswagen and Seat a while to trickle down their respective environment-focused Bluemotion and Ecomotive badges to their large MPVs, the Sharan and Alhambra. That tells you all you need to know about the pecking order at VAG. The truth is that in their current guise these are two cars approaching the automotive equivalent of the old folks’ home. ...

Mercedes C180K BlueEfficiency CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 08 December 2008 19:00

Mercedes has been a little slow off the mark with its environmental campaign, but hopes it range of new BlueEfficiency cars – spearheaded by the C180K BlueEfficiency on test here – will do for emissions, economy and public perceptions what EfficientDynamics has done for BMW. And there’s no price penalty for opting for the BlueEfficiency model – in fact at ...

Toyota Avensis 2.2 D-4D 150 (2009) CAR review

Colin Overland, 04 December 2008 09:39

For a new car, the British-built new Toyota Avensis looks and feels remarkably similar to the old one. The Avensis faithful will see this as a good thing. In much the same way that you’d worry if a BBC newsreader arrived on your screen one day with a pink mohican and LOVE and HATE tattooed on his knuckles, you don’t ...

Caterham Seven Superlight 150 long-term test

the CAR road test team, 31 October 2008 11:45

Long term test update – 31 October 2008. With the days getting darker and the nights longer, I took full advantage of last weekend and washed my Caterham. For me this was a big event – I can’t remember the last time I cleaned a long-term car. But the sun was shining so I went and bought some cheap car ...

Renaultsport Megane R26R (2008) CAR review and video

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 ...

Hyundai Genesis Coupe (2008) CAR review and video

Ben Barry, 24 October 2008 09:00

CAR Online has just driven Hyundai’s new rear-wheel drive Genesis Coupe. And it’s good. Very, very good. Hyundai hasn’t yet committed to bringing the car to the UK, but our first drive confirms that – like Barack Obama and the US – the Genesis Coupe would be a transformational character for Hyundai. CAR getting hot under the collar about a Korean ...
