Mercedes A45 AMG (2013) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 11 June 2013 12:30

This is the new Mercedes A45 AMG, one of the most powerful hot hatches ever built. The A45 is also the first hot hatch that Mercedes’ AMG tuning division has ever built, and it’s gone all out with its initial attempt: there’s a 355bhp turbocharged engine, four-wheel drive, a seven-speed twin-clutch paddleshift gearbox, and the performance to embarrass a Porsche ...

Citroen C4 Picasso 115 e-HDi (2013) CAR review

3.5

Steve Moody, 07 June 2013 09:00

The new Citroen C4 Picasso is an MPV laden with all sorts of new technology. But is it still able to perform its fundamental role of carrying lots of people and their stuff? Firstly, what’s the Technospace like? There are really only three or four things you need from an MPV: wipe clean surfaces, easy access to the rear seats, ...

VW Golf GTD (2013) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 06 June 2013 12:00

The Golf GTI's oil burning alter ego is back, and in Mk7 guise, the latest GTD is faster and more frugal than ever. But is this a case of always fun til someone loses an i? What a difference a D makes. Not much of a difference at all, judging by the pictures. Visually, besides the badges, only different wheels ...

Fiat 500L 1.6 MultiJet (2013) CAR review

Ollie Kew, 05 June 2013 16:00

Fiat’s new 500L is a five-seater MPV designed to take on the Citroen C3 Picasso, Ford B-Max and the equally trendy, retro-pastiche Mini Countryman, offering the chicness of the 500 with miles more utility. Priced from a fiver under £15k, is the 500L a bastardisation of the much-loved city car, or top of the mini-MPV class? We drove the entry-level ...

Audi R8 e-tron (2013) CAR review

Damion Smy, 29 May 2013 11:00

The electric R8 has been shelved, but Audi’s let us drive it. An opportunity missed, or a smart ‘pass’ by Ingolstadt? The R8 e-tron is a rolling billboard for Audi to make us all aware of its e-tron models, of which you’ll be able to by an A3 version later this year. But while Mercedes has given us the chance ...

Nissan Juke Nismo (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 12:00

Nissan’s first Nismo-badged car to be sold in Europe is this hotted-up Juke crossover. Sporting an aggressive aero bodykit and sporty cabin touches, chassis revisions and a dollop more power, the Nismo (short for Nissan Motorsport) is an offbeat £20k alternative to regular hot hatches like the Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo and Peugeot 208 GTi. So this isn’t really a Juke-R ...

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2013) CAR review

Ben Barry, 26 April 2013 11:00

Lamborghini may be blowing out 50th birthday candles, but you won’t hear it crowing on about another anniversary: that the Gallardo turns ten this year too. That’s a long time in this business, especially when the Ferrari 458/McLaren 12C firefight has left the Gallardo almost completely out of the spotlight of late. The latest facelift won’t alter that, but it ...

VW Golf GTI (2013) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 22 April 2013 13:00

This is the VW Golf GTI Mk7: the fastest, most frugal Golf GTI ever made. Is it just a subtle tweak of its Mk6 predecessor, or a truly great hot hatch worthy of the GTI name? To find out, we’ve borrowed a pre-production GTI for a revealing 350km shakedown experience in the Ile de France region around Paris. The car’s ...

BMW M6 Gran Coupe (2013) CAR review

Ben Barry, 19 April 2013 16:30

This is the new BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a four-door coupe/saloon that slots between the M6 coupe and M5 saloon. It gives Munich a direct rival to the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG (£82k) and forthcoming Audi RS7, and an excuse to add £24k to the M5's sticker price – it'll cost £97,490 when it goes on sale in May. The ...

Citroen DS3 Cabrio THP 155 (2013) CAR review

2.5

Ollie Kew, 18 April 2013 11:00

Citroen's new DS3 Cabrio is squarely aimed at the chic drop-top city car crowd, who've only had the Mini Convertible and Fiat 500C to woo them up until now. Does the French contender have the je ne sais quoi needed to take class honours? We drove the hot 1.6 THP 155 version to find out. It’s the £19,680 flagship of ...
