Audi S3 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 10 April 2013 16:00

This is the new Audi S3, a near-300bhp four-wheel drive hot hatch that’s as quick as a Porsche 911 and a rival for BMW’s M135i and the forthcoming Mercedes A45 AMG. Is it a VW Golf GTI turned up to 11, or just a faster Audi A3? Read on for our first drive review of the new Audi S3… How ...

Mercedes E250 SE (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 13 February 2013 07:00

This is Mercedes’s revised E-class, which ushers in new looks, new trim levels and new engines to take the fight to the BMW 5-series, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF. What’s new on the new Mercedes E-class? The most obvious change is the revised front, which ditches the outgoing car’s quad headlight arrangement for two more curvaceous lamps. The whole nose ...

Mercedes E300 Hybrid (2013 CAR review)

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 31 January 2013 09:00

As six-pot turbodiesels make way for four-cylinders, you’re increasingly unlikely to spy a 3 on the rump of any big German saloon. Hence you’re more likely to see 520d, E250 CDI and A6 2.0 TDI than 530d, E350 CDI and A6 3.0 TDI. But Mercedes is offering a way to get a 3 back on your bootlid while bettering the ...

Mazda MX-5 GT (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 21 August 2012 14:00

Talk about stealing the limelight: so much has the focus been on the new Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ twins that just about everyone has forgotten about one key alternative, the Mazda MX-5. Now Mazda UK are hoping to put at stop to all that, with this MX-5 GT concept. A production car would be preferable, surely… Well, hopefully that’s ...

Range Rover Evoque Si4 Dynamic (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 29 June 2012 09:40

Given that a unique combination of battle cruiser-imperious boulevard behaviour and leap-tall-buildings-at-a-single-bound off-road capability remains an absolutely mandatory requirement of anything sporting a Range Rover badge (even if most owners would never contemplate the latter for fear of scuffing the paintwork or giving the Shitzhu undue cause for queasiness), a certain frisson of excitement always attends the impending gleam of ...

Citroen DS5 Hybrid4 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 29 December 2011 19:00

The DS5 is Citroën’s most innovative car since the 1970s. It’s a beautiful, five-seat family car that looks like the lovechild of an MPV and an estate, and it bloods Peugeot-Citroën’s unique diesel/hybrid powertrain. The result should be a hatchback with a decent turn of pace, extraordinarily low fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and running costs, and a desirability unmatched in ...

AC Schnitzer ACS5 2.0d (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 19 October 2011 09:00

The 520d makes up the majority of BMW 5-series sales here in the UK – its blend of performance, frugality, space and low C02 emissions means it’s hard to beat, particularly for company car drivers. But here’s a thing: the AC Schnitzer ACS5 2.0d Sport. It’s sold in the UK through Rossiters in Kings Lynn, and promises similar pace to ...

Mercedes C250 CDI Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 06 October 2011 14:05

The CLK is dead, the E-class Coupe has been pushed upmarket, and the CLC is a horrible old little hatchback. Which, until now, has left Mercedes without a rival for BMW’s 3-series Coupe and Audi’s A5 Coupe. Step forward the Mercedes C-class Coupe – which is all C-class unlike the E-class Coupe which uses parts from both the C- and ...

Mercedes C220 CDI facelift (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Stephen Worthy, 03 August 2011 10:00

Amid all the repositioning of the Mercedes roster – the C-class Coupe is essentially the new CLK, but there's a E-class Coupe that uses C-class parts too – the C-class saloon remains a no-nonsense, reliable choice in the compact exec segment. But worried about looking too much like a taxi? Want to spice things up with a bit of bodykit (and ...
