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 ...

Iveco Massif Campagnola (2008) CAR review and video

Richard Aucock, 26 September 2008 09:00

The new Massif is (truck maker) Iveco's passenger 4x4 and the company is aiming for 20 percent of the 4000-strong utility 4x4 sector that Land Rover dominates. It’s interesting because the Massif used to be a Santana which, long ago, was a Spanish-built Series III Land Rover, using a production line shipped over by Solihull. Think of the Iveco Massif as the Defender’s long-lost cousin. ...

Ssangyong Kyron 2.0 S 2WD CAR review

Richard Aucock, 20 June 2008 09:03

Completing our test of the relaunched SsangYong range is this: the Kyron 4x4. Straddling compact and working SUV status, the Kyron was previously saddled with naïve pricing that punched way above its weight. Now, a 2WD version values it at a more reasonable £14,995, with a 4WD alternative for £2k more. It makes much more sense as a result – ...

Ssangyong Rodius 270 S CAR review

Richard Aucock, 12 June 2008 09:37

The Rodius is a well established winner... In ugly car awards, that is. So let’s look at the method in the madness, instead. Yes, it’s huge – stretching to over five metres in length – and that yields mammoth space for seven, in a 2-2-3 layout that encourages open-plan sensations. The middle seats swivel round for a power-crazed conference room ...

Mercedes CLC 220 CDI CAR review

Christopher Hubbard, 11 June 2008 10:00

Previously the C-class Sports Coupe, now the Mercedes-Benz CLC, this is the junior coupe in the three-pointed star’s line-up. Some 1100 modifications underline the change to the bootbadge. But is the CLC really anything more than a pretty new face? If it is, in fact, even that… Pretty new face? Looks like someone’s beaten the Merc CLC with an ugly tree ...

Mercedes B180 CDI 5dr CAR review

Guy Bird, 30 May 2008 09:30

Plaudits for the Mercedes B-class were thin on the ground back in 2005 when the car first launched, pitched as a ‘Compact Sports Tourer’. To drive it was nothing of the sort – not as ‘compact’ or ‘sporty’ as a Ford C-Max, nor as able to ‘tour’ on even vaguely demanding roads as a BMW 3-series Touring. And it was ...

Kia Picanto 1.1 Ice CAR review

Anonymous, 04 December 2007 14:03

Hmm. It looks a bit better than the old car It does, doesn’t it? Out goes the old cat’s arse grille, to be replaced with something altogether neater. There are new bumpers front and rear, a new bonnet, front wings and light units. The intention was to give the Picanto a family resemblance to its big brother, the Ceed hatchback. ...

Jeep Compass 2.0 CRD Limited manual CAR review

Anonymous, 02 March 2007 10:00

Is this the much vaunted ‘Jeep for ladies’ then? Well sort of. This is Jeep’s first ‘compact sport utility’ and it’s hoping the softer more modern lines will appeal to drivers who want a Jeep but don’t want to look all checked shirt and hairy arsed. They’ve made it more on-road biased and more economical and easier to live with, too, ...

Hummer H3 3.7 CAR review

Anonymous, 22 January 2007 04:46

Finally, a Hummer for the UK – was it worth the wait? Yes, the Hummer H3 is finally here, and depending on your sense of taste, you’ll either be rejoicing or rolling in the aisles. The H3 is the model that’s been on a diet – it’s more refined and luxurious than the hardcore H2 and ex-military spec H1. It ...
