Peugeot 208 Allure 1.2 VTi (2012) long-term test

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 03 June 2013 10:00

Month 5 running a Peugeot 208 - comparisons with the faster 208 THP156 Last month I was bemused by the fact Peugeot hadn’t engineered the 208 to be easy to drive around town – blame the flimsy throttle pedal and rubbery gearbox. But the cooking version, the 156bhp THP, is much better. With a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-pot it is, of course, ...

Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ollie Kew, 28 May 2013 12:30

Bye-bye outdated Colt, hello fuel-sipping new Mirage. Mitsubishi’s new five-door only supermini is the most aerodynamic car in its class, but is a slippery shape all the Mirage has going for it? We drove the top-spec Mirage 3 to see if class honours remain an unobtainable oasis on the horizon… Does the Mitsubishi Mirage cut through the air like its ...

Vauxhall Adam Slam 1.4 (2013) UK CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 01 May 2013 11:00

CAR first drove the Vauxhall Adam earlier this year, but that was a European-spec car on Portugese roads. The Adam copped a lot of stick for its ride and handling – which Vauxhall promised would be retuned for discerning British tastes (and shoddy British roads) on UK models. We’ve driven the sporty 1.4 ‘Slam’ model to see if the changes ...

Renault Zoe EV (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 28 March 2013 12:00

This is a massive launch: the new Zoe is an electric car Renault really needs to succeed, as it’s the tip of a four billion euro arrow, fired years ago by Carlos Ghosn. Certainly, it’s a cracking looking thing, with its cute, stubby looks and stylish, airy interior that is techy without being weird. But is it four billion well ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Porsche Cayenne

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Barry (photography by Charlie Magee), 11 March 2013 09:00

Porsche's Cayenne is one of the world's best sporting SUVs. Plus, you can now own one from just £7000. Tempted? Read on for the spec lowdown. Talk me through the Porsche Cayenne range The Cayenne launched with the Turbo (444bhp and 466lb ft) and 4.5 V8 S (335bhp and 310lb ft) variants in 2002, both of which got the Tiptronic six-speed auto ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Porsche 996

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry (photography by Charlie Magee), 08 March 2013 12:00

Porsche's rear-engined 911 icon: it's yours for £7000. How? The cheapest way into a modern 911 is the 996 Carrera, and it’s not hard to understand why: the 996 was preceded by the last of the air-cooled cars, the 993, so that car’s cult status is assured; meanwhile, the 997 followed it, and that’s essentially a new, improved 996. Want ...

We’re now onto the third-gen Boxster, and everything from the earliest Mk1s to the earliest Mk2s are on the menu if you’ve got £10k or less to spend. Guide me through the Mk1 Boxster range Even those early Mk1s ...

Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost 99bhp (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 15 February 2013 10:50

Ford’s mid-life changes to the Fiesta supermini get more radical the further forward you move along the car. At the back, there’s some lightly refreshed taillight clusters. In the middle, a usefully simplified climate control interface. And up front, a headline new engine: the three-cylinder Ecoboost unit from the B-Max and Focus, hiding behind a big-mouth grille that’ll provoke more ...

Fiat Panda 4x4 TwinAir (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 28 January 2013 09:10

When the very first Big Willie tanks clanked and crawled across the killing grounds of the Somme, it quickly became apparent that weight is not helpful for vehicles off the beaten track. Odd then, that nearly a century later we are still attempting to grind our way across hostile terrain in blasted great things of many tonnes. Handily, we’re not ...

Suzuki Swift Sport (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 19 November 2012 10:20

How fuel efficient is CAR's Suzuki Swift Sport? - 19 November 2012 The Swift is piling on the miles – we're now past 6000 on the odo, which means we're not far off the first service. Suzuki sticks with unfashionably short, 9000-mile intervals: good for looking after the engine, bad for the wallet. We'll let you know how we get ...
