VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 02 February 2012 10:00

This is the Volkswagen Up, a little city car we’ve been excited about ever since the first rear-engined and rear-wheel drive concept was unveiled in 2007. Alas a layout akin to the original people’s car (the Beetle) proved too expensive to develop in the 21st century, so the production car is standard urban runabout fare – i.e. front-engined and front-wheel ...

Fiat Panda 0.9 TwinAir (2012) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 27 January 2012 11:03

This is Fiat’s third-generation Panda, which goes on UK sale in February 2012. Fiat has buffed up interior quality and features over the outgoing car’s, and plumbed in the TwinAir two-cylinder turbo engine, which was the version we drove. This being a city car and us being CAR magazine, we perversely took the Panda as far from its natural habitat ...

Suzuki Swift Sport (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 21 November 2011 10:27

In an age when Clios and Minis have 200bhp, Golfs and Meganes sport 250bhp, and the hottest A3 and 1-series offer up over 300bhp, Suzuki’s new Mk2 Swift Sport is a breath of (modest) fresh air. The four-cylinder engine remains at a mere 1.6 litres (naturally aspirated, of course), and despite it gaining a variable intake system and tweaked variable ...

Kia Rio 1.4 (2011) CAR review

Ben Barry, 17 October 2011 09:00

This is Kia’s new Rio, a B-segment rival for the Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 207. It costs from £10,595 to £14,895 and comes with a choice of four engines: 1.25-litre and 1.4-litre petrols, and 1.1-litre three-cylinder or 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbodiesels. The three-cylinder diesel produces just 85g/km C02 and delivers 88mpg – better than any current internal ...

Lancia Ypsilon 0.9 TwinAir (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 25 May 2011 14:13

This is the new 2011 Lancia Ypsilon. Alas, this model isn’t about to spearhead a Lancia relaunch in the UK now or anytime in the near future. So why are we driving it? Because in the UK and Ireland Lancia’s little models are being rebadged as Chryslers, so this is in fact our first taste of a new supermini that ...

Skoda Fabia Greenline II (2011) CAR review

Mark Hamilton, 25 May 2011 10:00

This is the Skoda Fabia Greenline II, the eco-warrior's edition of VW Group's budget supermini. Inside that familiar upright hatchback bodyshell sits the 1.2-litre three-cylinder TDI engine from the Polo Bluemotion, boasting headline eco statistics of 83.1mpg and 89g/km CO2. It's a compelling prospect for those seeking to avoid road tax and London congestion charging, but outside of the test ...

Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta (2011) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 05 May 2011 13:10

This is the new Nissan Micra, but it’s not the first time we’ve tested it. This is in fact our third exposure to Nissan’s new Micra: after testing a Thai-spec car in Thailand, and an almost-finished prototype on a test track in Japan, we’ve finally driven a UK car on UK roads. The Micra’s no longer a UK-built car though ...

Renault Zoe concept EV supermini (2011) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 21 February 2011 15:51

Renault says the Zoe concept is 90% identical to the production electric car that goes on sale in early 2012. We get behind the wheel to find what it won’t be like at all to drive. What is the Renault Zoe EV? Is it a Clio replacement? No, the Clio will continue, and there’s a new Clio on the way ...

Fiat 500 Twinair (2011) CAR review

Greg Fountain, 18 January 2011 08:03

The Fiat 500 TwinAir is a fascinating prospect. This is the point where Fiat’s kitsch reworking of its iconic 1950s city car elevates itself to a new level of 21st century relevance. The TwinAir engine tested here is, according to Fiat, ‘the greenest petrol engine in the world’, yet it features no batteries, EV trickery or hybrid drivetrain. It’s just ...

Seat Ibiza ST 1.6 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Sarah-Jayne Harrison, 05 October 2010 16:43

The third in Seat's Ibiza range, the latest Ibiza ST estate operates in a niche very nearly all its own. It slots in between the five-door Ibiza supermini and a fuller-sized estate from the class above. Only Skoda and Renault compete in the supermini wagon market. The Ibiza ST offers more boot space than the regular Ibiza hatch, without compromising the sporting lines penned by ex-Lamborghini ...
