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 ...

Nissan Juke Nismo (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 12:00

Nissan’s first Nismo-badged car to be sold in Europe is this hotted-up Juke crossover. Sporting an aggressive aero bodykit and sporty cabin touches, chassis revisions and a dollop more power, the Nismo (short for Nissan Motorsport) is an offbeat £20k alternative to regular hot hatches like the Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo and Peugeot 208 GTi. So this isn’t really a Juke-R ...

Jaguar XF Sportbrake Diesel S (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 17 May 2013 13:00

So, here it is then, the upcoming addition to the CAR longterm fleet: ‘my’ Jaguar XF Sportbrake. You can’t get a Sportbrake in the petrol flavours offered in the saloon; instead you’ll choose from a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel in either 161bhp/295lb ft or 197bhp/295lb ft guises, or a 3.0 TD V6 with either 237bhp/368lb ft or 271bhp/442lb ft. The Sportbrake ...

Mini Paceman Cooper S (2013) CAR review

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 ...

MG 6 1.9 DTi (2013) CAR review

Ollie Kew, 07 May 2013 14:00

The first new car of MG’s Chinese-owned era, the MG 6, now has a turbodiesel engine. The 50mpg motor, which joins the range alongside the 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol, starts from £16,995. CAR drove the MG 6 DTi in mid-spec SE form to see if China has a contender, or an also ran. Is the MG 6 endowed with a competitive new diesel engine? It’s nothing revolutionary, if you’ll ...

Range Rover Sport prototype (2013) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 02 May 2013 13:30

Our first chance to drive the new Range Rover Sport has come sooner than we might have expected. It had its world debut at the New York auto show a month ago, yet here we are in the UK at Land Rover's Gaydon test track, looking at a prototype with its driver's door open and engine running. While we'd reiterate ...

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 ...

Aston Martin DB9 (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 29 April 2013 15:00

Has there ever been a more poignant year in which to run a long-term Aston Martin? The world’s coolest car company celebrates its 100th birthday this year, so can the DB9 – Aston’s oldest model – still cut it in 2013? We’ve got the next few months to find out… It’s not the same DB9 that Aston launched in late ...

Lexus GS450h (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road-test team, 29 April 2013 10:00

Month 3 running a Lexus GS450h - gripes with the over-complicated infotainment I worry that I'm getting stupider, or that I’m just not bright enough to own a Lexus GS450h in the first place. For me, sitting in the driver’s seat with the manual open, the ignition on and a free hour is one of the joys of getting a new ...
