Renault Captur (2013) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 11 June 2013 09:00

The new Renault Captur is based on the Clio supermini platform, but offers an elevated ride height and quasi-SUV looks. It's aiming to take a slice out of the fast-growing compact-crossover car market, but is it talented enough beneath the funky garnish? Read on for the full CAR verdict. What sort of first impression does the Renault Captur make? Were ...

Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. Underneath the skin there are bits of Astra hatchback and Insignia saloon, but the Cascada looks altogether classier than run-of-the-mill Vauxhalls. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite ...

Lexus IS 300h F-sport (2013) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 22 May 2013 15:00

Diesels are out and hybrids in, as Lexus has a third crack at the European premium elite. The third iteration of the IS saloon arrives in the UK with a choice of two engines: a 2.5 V6 petrol with 205bhp available from £26,495, and the 220bhp hybrid we drove, which starts at £29,495. The hybrid mates a 2.5-litre petrol four ...

BMW 3-series Gran Turismo (2013) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 22 May 2013 12:30

This is the BMW 3-series GT, which starts from £28,835. Cast in the same (albeit smaller) mould as the unloved 5GT, the 3-seres Gran Turismo offers estate-beating versatility, but does it still drive like a proper BMW? We drove the 320d and 335i models model to find out. So, what’s the point? Is that what you’re thinking? Us too. We ...

Mini Paceman Cooper S (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ollie Kew, 09 May 2013 10:00

The Mini Paceman is the eighth (count ‘em) model to join the Mini range, and it’s easily the hardest to pigeonhole. As a three-door version of the Countryman SUV, it’s a sort-of, retro-styled, cut-price Range Rover Evoque coupe. Does it make any more sense from behind the wheel? We drove the 184bhp Cooper S model to discover if the Paceman ...

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Ollie Kew, 07 May 2013 13:50

Nissan has updated its Qashqai crossover for 2013. On the new ‘360’ trim level which replaces the mid-range Ntec+ trim, the headline news is a 360-degree view parking camera. It’s a familiar car now, but does its age mean the Qashqai has dropped off the pace? CAR tested the 1.6dCi version to find out. Isn’t the Qashqai getting a bit ...

Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

Ollie Kew, 01 May 2013 11:00

CAR first drove the Vauxhall Adam earlier this year, but that was a European-spec car on Portugese roads. The Adam copped a lot of stick for its ride and handling – which Vauxhall promised would be retuned for discerning British tastes (and shoddy British roads) on UK models. We’ve driven the sporty 1.4 ‘Slam’ model to see if the changes ...

Vauxhall Mokka 1.7 CDTI (2013) CAR review

2.5

Ollie Kew, 16 April 2013 12:30

Vauxhall’s new Mokka crossover doesn’t directly rival jacked-up superminis like the Nissan Juke or new Renault Captur, nor fully-fledged family tools like Nissan’s popular Qashqai or the likeable Skoda Yeti. The Mokka splits them on size, space and price, but does that leave it falling between two stools, or as the best of both worlds? Read on for the CAR ...

Dacia Sandero Stepway 0.9Tce (2013) CAR review

Steve Moody, 08 April 2013 07:00

This is the Dacia Sandero Stepway. In basic form, the Dacia supermini is the cheapest new car on sale in the UK, at £5995. The toughed-up Stepway version you see here is £7995, and even the flagship 'Laureate' models, complete with touchscreen sat-nav, cost less than £10k. Should you consider this bargain buying option? Read on for the CAR verdict. ...

Peugeot 208 GTi (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2013 07:00

This is the new Peugeot 208 GTi, and it follows hot on the heels of our drives of both the Ford Fiesta ST and Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo. Can it be as good as the Fiesta ST or Clio Turbo? The Peugeot has nearly 20bhp more than the Ford, and as some Renaultsport fans bemoan the Clio’s new dual-clutch transmission, ...
