Fiat 500L 1.6 MultiJet (2013) CAR review

Fiat 500L 1.6 MultiJet (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

BMW 330d Touring (2013) long-term test review

BMW 330d Touring (2013) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 03 June 2013 08:00

Month 2 running a BMW 330d: what's the 330d like as a driver's car? Rear-wheel drive, 413lb ft of torque, and a winter boot at each corner. Bliss. After 18 months spent in four-wheel-drive long-termers, I’m rediscovering my inner hooligan. In a diesel estate car. Any doubts I may have had about picking the 330d when I could have been ...

Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) long-term test review

Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 22 April 2013 07:00

Month 8 running a Porsche Panamera GTS: should you buy the diesel Panamera instead? The GTS isn’t faultless, but our only real criticism is its 22mpg thirst. No such trouble with the Panamera Diesel, which won’t dip below 30mpg even when thrashed, will top 40mpg on a cruise, and averages in the mid-to-high 30s – depending on how much thrashing ...

BMW M6 Gran Coupe (2013) CAR review

BMW M6 Gran Coupe (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

Audi RS6 Avant (2013) CAR review

Audi RS6 Avant (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 09 April 2013 11:30

This is new Audi RS6 Avant, a 552bhp rival to the BMW M5, Jaguar XFR-S and Mercedes E63 AMG. It’s also the second of four new Audi RS models due in 2013, but after the disappointment of the first (the RS5 Cabriolet) can the new RS6 deliver? This über Avant is less powerful than its predecessor, but it is faster ...

Month 6 running an Audi A6 Allroad - the strange Audi service schedule explained No, I'm not supplementing my income with a bit of funeral directing on the side, the matching colours were simply coinicidence. The mini-me is my girlfriend’s 2004 A4 Avant TDI, pictured here to show the positive side of Audi’s sometimes painfully slow design evolution. Can you think ...

Renault Zoe EV (2013) CAR review

Renault Zoe EV (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 28 March 2013 12:00

This is a massive launch: the new Zoe is an electric car Renault really needs to succeed, as it’s the tip of a four billion euro arrow, fired years ago by Carlos Ghosn. Certainly, it’s a cracking looking thing, with its cute, stubby looks and stylish, airy interior that is techy without being weird. But is it four billion well ...

Mazda 6 2.2D Sport (2013) CAR review

Mazda 6 2.2D Sport (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 19 March 2013 17:26

The new third-generation Mazda 6 is the lightest, most frugal version of the Mondeo/Passat rival yet. Available in saloon or ‘Tourer’ estate bodystyles, it’s priced from £19,595 for an entry-level petrol model. We’ve driven the 2.2-litre diesel saloon in top-spec Sport trim to see if this new 6 is as appealing as its predecessors. How much Mazda 6 do I ...

Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series (2013) CAR review

Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series (2013) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 04 March 2013 07:00

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, the fifth Black Series since the SLK55 AMG kicked things off in 2006, and closest in spirit to the SL65 Black Series of 2008. At around £230k, it's a solid £60k clear of the regular SLS on which it's based and only a little cheaper than the Ferrari F12. We've come ...

Ford Fiesta ST (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 28 February 2013 16:00

This is the Ford Fiesta ST, baby brother to the Focus ST and follow-up to the 2005-2008 ST. It costs from £16,995, putting it head-to-head with Renault’s new sub-£20k Clio RS and Peugeot’s new £18,895 208 GTI. What’s the tech spec? At the ST’s heart lies a 1.6-litre Ecoboost turbo engine that chucks 180bhp and 214lb ft to the front ...
