VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Pulman, 02 February 2012 10:00

This is the Volkswagen Up, a little city car we’ve been excited about ever since the first rear-engined and rear-wheel drive concept was unveiled in 2007. Alas a layout akin to the original people’s car (the Beetle) proved too expensive to develop in the 21st century, so the production car is standard urban runabout fare – i.e. front-engined and front-wheel ...

Porsche Panamera Diesel (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 22 July 2011 09:40

Just a few months after launching the Panamera petrol hybrid, Porsche is serving up an alternative maximum efficiency GT: the Panamera Diesel. It can, says Porsche, cover 745 miles on its 80-litre tank. If you’ve got a capacious bladder, an optional 100-litre tank is set to be an option too. The Panamera Diesel goes on sale from August 2011, and, ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 26 May 2011 09:30

Vauxhall's Corsa is oft forgotten as Ford's Fiesta is a sweeter drive, the cabin quality of Volkswagen's Polo is peerless, and the likes of Hyundai offer better value and better warranties – ­hence the reason Vauxhall launched its 100,000-mile warranty last year to compete with Koreans. However, while the Fiesta topped the UK sales chart in 2010 (103,013 sold), the Corsa was ...

Aston Martin DB9 Volante (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 18 May 2011 10:29

I remember it well. A glorious summer’s day, I was still in my 20s and somebody casually threw me the keys to the Aston Martin DB9 Volante parked outside. ‘Try it,’ they said. Then I headed out onto a road I knew well, roof down, firing through the gears with the big paddles that operate the smooth Touchtronic ‘box. I ...

Peugeot RCZ 200 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 18 March 2011 14:00

Peugeot’s brilliant RCZ coupe couldn’t quite topple the VW Scirocco and Audi TT when we tested the trio last year in diesel form. Now we’ve tried the 197bhp petrol RCZ 200 to see if it’s good enough to be the coupe of choice. 197bhp, you say? Has the Peugeot RCZ 200 bought in a load of hot Clio engines from arch rival ...

Nissan GT-R (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 15 March 2011 10:30

When the R35-spec Nissan GT-R first appeared in 2007 it stunned the automotive world, notching up easy victories against the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo in comparison tests, and posting incredible Nurburgring lap times. Now Nissan claims it has 'enhanced' the GT-R for 2011, so just how much better has it become? Read on for CAR's review of the new Nissan GT-R. What's changed ...

Mercedes C350 CDI facelift (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 08 March 2011 08:00

At a casual glance the revised 2011 Mercedes C-class looks much the same, but this mid-life facelift actually consists of 2000 new parts that variously fettle the exterior, interior and powertrain – more than any other facelift in Merc’s history. What are the main changes to the facelifted C-class? The exterior looks a little sharper thanks to new bumpers, headlights ...

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 06 January 2011 12:02

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

Porsche 911 Speedster (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 25 November 2010 12:45

This is Porsche’s new 911 Speedster, a limited-edition special that pays tribute to the original 356 Speedster. It’s also an open-top follow up to last year’s 911 Sport Classic, a 25th birthday present for Porsche Exclusive (the arm of Porsche that created the Sport Classic and Speedster) and a final hurrah for the current 997-generation 911. More powerful with a ...

Infiniti M30d GT Premium (2010) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Stephen Worthy, 22 November 2010 10:43

A couple of months after we first drove the new petrol-powered Infiniti M37, CAR has spent some time with the version that is expected to account for 55% of European sales for Infiniti’s executive saloon: the new M30d diesel. Only 55% of Infiniti M sales? That few? Sounds on the conservative side, doesn’t it? Especially as the only other version ...
