Renault Captur (2013) CAR review

Renault Captur (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

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 ...

Aston Martin DB9 (2013) long-term test review

Rated 2 out of 52

the CAR road test team, 04 June 2013 11:00

Month 2 running an Aston Martin DB9: the DB9 heads to base for gremlin-fixing treatment A quick update on our DB9. It’s been in to Aston’s own Works dealership in Newport Pagnell, and the diagnosis of the faulty Garmin sat-nav calls for a new control unit. It’s on order, and the new part should arrive in a week or so. ...

Audi R8 e-tron (2013) CAR review

Audi R8 e-tron (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Damion Smy, 29 May 2013 11:00

The electric R8 has been shelved, but Audi’s let us drive it. An opportunity missed, or a smart ‘pass’ by Ingolstadt? The R8 e-tron is a rolling billboard for Audi to make us all aware of its e-tron models, of which you’ll be able to by an A3 version later this year. But while Mercedes has given us the chance ...

Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2 (2013) CAR review

Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Bye-bye outdated Colt, hello fuel-sipping new Mirage. Mitsubishi’s new five-door only supermini is the most aerodynamic car in its class, but is a slippery shape all the Mirage has going for it? We drove the top-spec Mirage 3 to see if class honours remain an unobtainable oasis on the horizon… Does the Mitsubishi Mirage cut through the air like its ...

Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3 GX5 (2013) CAR review

Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3 GX5 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Should you even care about the new Mitsubishi Outlander? The new Outlander is based on the old model but has a revised diesel powerplant and new transmission that offers superb stats, while there’s loads more room and tech to go with it. It’s four-wheel drive and comes with a six-speed auto and seven seats. This is the top-of-the-line GX5, which ...

Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

Rated 2 out of 52

the CAR road test team, 23 May 2013 09:00

Month 3 running a Ford Focus ST: should the ST have four-wheel drive? Interesting one, , this: Ford won’t sell you the punchiest diesel Kuga SUV in front-wheel-drive guise, instead ensuring that its 251lb ft of torque flows through all four tyres. But our Focus ST channels 265lb ft through the front wheels alone, with none of the trick limited-slip ...

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

Rated 2 out of 52

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 ...

MG 6 1.9 DTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

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 ...

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 01 May 2013 16:00

VW will build only 250 examples of its super-streamlined 313mpg XL1. CAR’s Georg Kacher has driven one of them to find out if it really can achieve its amazing claimed economy figures. First impressions of the VW XL1 You enter the vehicle through mighty gullwing doors which are blown open by little integrated pyrotechnic devices should the poor thing ever ...
