Ford Ka Zetec (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 29 October 2008 00:01

We’re so accustomed to six-year model cycles that the 12 years it’s taken Ford to come up with the second generation Ka is scarcely believable. But the new Ka is here – and now CAR Online has finally driven it. Read on for our full review. This new Ford Ka looks like a three-door Vauxhall Corsa in a fairground mirror! ...

Hyundai i20 (2008) CAR review and video

Jed Maxwell, 22 October 2008 15:00

Hyundai is brimming with confidence over its new i20 supermini. The firm asked buyers of the Getz – the model the i20 replaces – what they didn’t like about their car. Unsurprisingly, the wallowy handling, stodgy steering and noisy ride all featured. With the i20, Hyundai reckons it’s gone a long way towards righting those wrongs, hence its buoyancy. Hyundai didn’t exactly ...

Suzuki Alto (2008) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 20 October 2008 15:30

Less than a month after the new Suzuki Alto and Nissan Pixo twins were unveiled at the 2008 Paris motor show, CAR Online has been to Delhi to drive the Suzuki version. Why Delhi? This is where they’ll be built. Suzuki’s Indian subsidiary Maruti is easily the country’s biggest car maker, building more than 750,000 cars here each year and ...

Fiat Fiorino Qubo 1.4 (2008) CAR review

Jesse Crosse, 15 September 2008 10:00

Fiat reckons its Qubo (that's a bastardisation of the Italian for 'cube') might fulfil a new market segment, as the funky and stylish answer to young, cash-strapped urban and suburban buyers looking for a car that’s both a lifestyle accessory on one level and an affordable, versatile workhorse on the other. That's the marketing waffle. We can't help feeling that ...

Smart Fortwo CDI CAR review

Andrew Noakes, 09 July 2008 10:58

Hybrids might be promoted as the environment’s friends, but if you’re really serious about reducing CO2 emissions, and can’t manage without a car, then what you need is the smallest and most economical car you can find. And this could be it. The Smart CDI diesel is claimed to emit just 88g/km of CO2, the lowest emissions of any current ...

Seat Ibiza Sport Coupe CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 03 July 2008 11:05

Seat’s Ibiza SportCoupe is further confirmation that car makers can no longer do anything as simple as producing three- and five-door versions of the same car. The five-door has to be family focused; the three-door – as with the Ibiza SportCoupe – is now aimed at a more youthful market altogether and carrying a new name. Don’t underestimate the importance of ...

Mazda 2 1.3 TS2 3dr CAR review

Adam Towler, 05 June 2008 12:49

The Mazda 2 was a breath of fresh air when it launched in 2007. Its clever design and careful reduction in mass pointed to a lighter, hence cleaner, and also more entertaining future for the segment. Now that Mazda has launched a three-door ‘2’, does the good news continue? So, does losing a pair of doors make the ‘2’ even lighter? ...

Ford Ka and SportKa CAR review

Colin Overland, 19 March 2008 13:13

The Ford Ka was one of the cars that started Ford's renaissance. So the Blue Oval's business problems shouldn’t distract attention from the fact that most of Ford's current European product line-up is very good. With the Ka due to be replaced at the end of 2008 by a new Fiat-500 based car, CAR has had one last drive. Ford still make the ...

Chevrolet Aveo 1.2 CAR review

Glen Waddington, 26 February 2008 11:41

The Chevrolet Aveo might sound like a new model, and even looks like it at first glance. But the Aveo is really a facelifted Kalos, and the name is taken from the booted saloon version that was sold elsewhere. Now it applies to the whole family of small Chevrolets, the five-door version of which arrives in Britain in April, with ...

Vauxhall Agila 1.2 CAR review

Glen Waddington, 22 February 2008 11:53

Gone is the felled phonebox look of the old Agila. Here is the newest, smallest member of Vauxhall’s ‘monocab’ family, slotting below the Meriva and Zafira and offering a budget-conscious, utility-focused baby sibling to the Corsa. But haven’t we seen it before? I thought the Agila looked familiar… Certainly does. That’s because the new Agila is really a rebadged Suzuki Splash. Sheet ...
