BMW X6 XDrive 35i (2008) CAR review

Rated 1.5 out of 5

Greg Fountain, 24 September 2008 12:00

Announcing the launch of the world’s first sports activity coupe is rather like announcing the world’s first six-decker sponge cake – probably quite tasty, but hardly a Jaffa cake moment, and way too tall to enjoy without getting yourself in a right mess. So you don't think much of the BMW X6? I wouldn’t say expectations of the X6 are ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package (2008) CAR review

Rated 1.5 out of 5

Ben Barry, 24 September 2008 09:00

  The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package costs £3210 and promises to turn the four-door saloon from Affalterbach into an M3 beater. For your money you get uprated brakes and suspension, a limited slip differential and a steering wheel trimmed in nappa leather and Alcantara. Shouldn’t that kit be standard on the Mercedes C63 AMG? It’s a good point. The ...

Ssangyong Rexton 270 S CAR review

Rated 1.5 out of 5

Richard Aucock, 12 June 2008 09:29

With the relaunch of SsangYong in the UK, we're testing all their latest products. Dealers say they sell the Rexton large SUV to buyers with an inkling for an X5, but not the cash. It’s SsangYong’s oldest but best-looking machine, with cohesion to its lines that approaches smart class. It’s OK inside as well – influences are clearly Japanese hi-fi, ...

Dodge Demon concept CAR review

Rated 1.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 01 June 2007 08:36

Dodge Demon Roadster. Great name, but this is just a concept car right? For now, yes. But like pretty much all of Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler's concepts, this one is driveable and we have driven it. The Chrysler Group also has a funny habit of putting their concept cars into production, in which case the Demon promises much. It is ...

Citroen Cruise Crosser CAR review

Rated 1 out of 5

Anonymous, 08 May 2007 11:18

A six-wheeled Citroen pick-up truck? Are you serious? Certainly am. And with its weird Cruise Crosser, Citroen is too. Pick-ups are big business, particularly in the UK where people have started buying them as a cheap alternative to 4x4s. And the firm’s bosses told us that a pick-up could feature in its range in the future. If you’re already making ...

Dodge Avenger 2.0 CRD CAR review

Rated 1.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 21 March 2007 12:03

Dodge’s European assault continues then? Sure does, after the introduction of the Caliber last year Dodge is now offering us its new Avenger. It’s the Caliber’s big brother, competing in the D-sector, or to those who don’t understand marketing speak - the Mondeo-sized class. It shares its bold style with the Caliber, the huge front grille and confident jutting spoiler ...

Brooke Double R CAR review

Rated 1.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 19 December 2006 08:50

The Brooke looks familiar It’s similar in style to Gordon Murray’s bike-engined Rocket from 1992, but the Brooke adopts a more conventional seating layout – two abreast, not one behind the other – and the engine is the 260bhp Cosworth four used in the Caterham CSR. What’s underneath? Not a lot. The Brooke weighs just 550kg, or 310kg less than ...

Daihatsu Terios CAR review

Rated 1.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 27 November 2006 10:49

You're a bit slow off the mark aren't you? This thing's been on sale for months. Yes, well, we've put off driving it for as long as humanly possible. Memories of the old car you see; some of us are still receiving treatment. Horrid little box. So the old Terios was a bit of a duffer, but that doesn't mean ...

Cadillac SRX CAR review

Rated 1 out of 5

Anonymous, 25 August 2006 03:30

Hmmm, this looks like the dictionary definition of a Yank tank... The SRX is nearly as long as a Range Rover and weighs well over two tonnes, so it's hardly compact. But you ain't seen nothing yet. Compared with its obese brother, the Escalade ESV (2696kg and 5.6metres long), the SRX might seem a bit on the diminutive side. It's ...
