Dacia Sandero Stepway 0.9Tce (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Steve Moody, 08 April 2013 07:00

This is the Dacia Sandero Stepway. In basic form, the Dacia supermini is the cheapest new car on sale in the UK, at £5995. The toughed-up Stepway version you see here is £7995, and even the flagship 'Laureate' models, complete with touchscreen sat-nav, cost less than £10k. Should you consider this bargain buying option? Read on for the CAR verdict. ...

Chevrolet Aveo 1.2 (2012) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 09 May 2012 10:00

Bit of a surprise, Chevrolet's new Aveo supermini; pretty good looking inside and out, and, on an all-new platform, a rather tidy performer to boot. I must confess to having quickly given up the frantic, five-speed stick stirrings necessary to wring the neck of the 1.2-litre petrol engined version, and settled for amiable bumbling instead. Not that the Aveo won’t ...

Hyundai i10 Blue (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Mark Hamilton, 10 March 2011 10:21

Whether you blame scrappage schemes or acclaim the Koreans' increasing engineering savvy, there's no denying that the Hyundai i10 is the UK's most popular small car, with nearly 24,000 sold here in 2010.  Hyundai has recently facelifted the i10, and added an eco-friendly Blue specification level to the range. The headline figures are 99g/km CO2 and 67.3mpg combined economy. Blue is ...

Chevrolet Spark 1.2 LS (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Adam Towler, 27 November 2009 21:37

This is the Chevy Spark, the replacement for the Matiz supermini and the first car to use GM’s new small car platform, designed by GM-DAT in South Korea. Was this the car that had its design chosen in an online competition? Yes, that’s the one. Out of three proposals shown at the New York Motor Show in 2007, this design ...

Hyundai i20 1.4 (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 21 January 2009 09:23

The Hyundai i20 is the latest little car from the reinvigorated Korean company, following in the footsteps of the i10 and i30. It’s still built abroad (India, to be precise) but the i20 has been designed and engineered in Europe, offers such a decent level of standard kit that you’ll cough up thousands more on rivals, and it comes with ...

Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 04 January 2009 20:50

It doesn’t feel as though it’s been around that long, but four years have passed since Mitsubishi launched its wedgy baby, the Colt. So it’s had a fiddle. Nothing that looks too substantial, despite claims that the latest car shares only 35% of the old one’s bits. But you won’t fail to notice the Lancer-style nose. So what do I ...

Hyundai i20 (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

Smart Fortwo CDI (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...
