Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 04 January 2009 20:50

It doesn’t feel as though it’s been around that long, but four years have passed since Mitsubishi launched its wedgy baby, the Colt. So it’s had a fiddle. Nothing that looks too substantial, despite claims that the latest car shares only 35% of the old one’s bits. But you won’t fail to notice the Lancer-style nose. So what do I ...

Volvo S40 1.6 DRIVe (2009) CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 12 December 2008 10:40

To be taken seriously as a car firm these days it seems you need a low carbon dioxide model in your range. Volvo hasn’t had one up until now so it’s addressing that failing with three new models: eco versions of the C30, S40 and V50. They’re called DRIVe (pronounced Drive E) and the Swedish firm has big plans for ...

Seat Ibiza Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

Richard Aucock, 05 December 2008 11:29

Less than a year after it launched the first Ibiza Ecomotive Seat is back with a second-generation environmentally friendly Spanish supermini. And rather than an end-of-life run-out like the first car, the new Seat Ibiza Ecomotive is here to stay for the next few years. Compared with the old car the all-important fuel economy and CO2 figures are improved, from 74.3mpg and 99g/km CO2 ...

Seat Exeo (2009) CAR review

Julian Kirk, 04 November 2008 14:00

Has the Large Hadron Collider finally done its thing? Have I entered a time warp and gone back in time seven years? The reason I ask is that I’m driving what purports to be a new car but is, in fact, a model which was first launched way back in 2001. Sorry, you’ve lost me - I thought this was ...

Vauxhall Insignia 2.8 V6 4x4 (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 30 October 2008 11:17

Twenty minutes into a vigorous hoon in this 2.8-litre V6 powered, four-wheel drive flagship of the new Vauxhall Insignia range, all I could think of was pub grub. No, the launch proceedings food was perfectly fine, thank you… after a plenty-of-added-Austrian-lard fashion. It simply struck me that, these days, there’s a surprising parity between tavern nosh and this much diminished ...

Mercedes ML320 CDI Sport facelift (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 28 October 2008 12:00

Huntsville, Alabama; where the back of every single neck is a dead ringer for 'Volcanic Splash 4' from the Dulux colour chart, where family trees have only one branch (‘yew kin divorce me, but yawl alwehs be mah sister…’) and where Mercedes took the ostensibly baffling decision to build the very first M-class back in 1997. Odd decision. After all, ...

Hyundai i20 (2008) CAR review and video

Jed Maxwell, 22 October 2008 15:00

Hyundai is brimming with confidence over its new i20 supermini. The firm asked buyers of the Getz – the model the i20 replaces – what they didn’t like about their car. Unsurprisingly, the wallowy handling, stodgy steering and noisy ride all featured. With the i20, Hyundai reckons it’s gone a long way towards righting those wrongs, hence its buoyancy. Hyundai didn’t exactly ...

Suzuki Alto (2008) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 20 October 2008 15:30

Less than a month after the new Suzuki Alto and Nissan Pixo twins were unveiled at the 2008 Paris motor show, CAR Online has been to Delhi to drive the Suzuki version. Why Delhi? This is where they’ll be built. Suzuki’s Indian subsidiary Maruti is easily the country’s biggest car maker, building more than 750,000 cars here each year and ...

Renault Megane 1.5dCi (2008) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 17 October 2008 14:53

Renault split opinion with the outgoing Megane 2. You know, that shakey-ass marketing. The distinctive, bustleback styling. A classic Marmite car, in fact. The sad thing is, the marketing suits have deemed such avantgarde design as verboten in the new, let's-appeal-to-everyone age. Hence the new, less risky Megane 3. Now we've driven it, we can finally announce if it's boring ...

Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTI (2008) CAR review and video

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 01 October 2008 00:01

The segment in which Vauxhall’s new Insignia must compete may be shrinking, but it still constitutes a handsome ten percent of the total market. Clearly, GM sees this as justification to throw the kitchen sink at the Insignia, equipping it with a raft of new toys that will simply never see the light of day in cooking versions set to mither the ...
