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 Boxster

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Barry (photography by Charlie Magee), 26 February 2013 11:00

Want a Porsche for the least money possible? You want a Boxster. You can snap them up from just £5k now. 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 ...

Kia Ceed 1.4 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Phil McNamara, 11 April 2012 09:29

Kia’s new Ceed hatchback – which goes on UK sale on 1 June 2012 – wants to make you doubt yourself. Should you really buy that Vauxhall Astra, Renault Megane, Toyota Auris or A.N.Other family hatch, when you could switch to the up-and-coming Korean brand? We’ve driven the entry-level 1.4-litre Ceed (or cee’d as Kia badges it in a crime ...

VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

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 ...

Kia Rio 1.4 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

Skoda Fabia Greenline II (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 ...

Audi A1 1.2 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 18 June 2010 09:55

As promised we’ve got our hands on a different Audi A1 model, the most basic car I could find on the launch: a 1.2 manual. This being a press launch of course, it still had sat-nav and 16s rather than the standard 15in alloys plus various other options, but this is almost the £13,145 bottom rung on the Audi ladder.  ...

Kia Ceed EcoDynamics (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 23 December 2009 08:15

Kia’s facelifted the Ceed in fairly subtle style. Bar the new nose (which makes it look like a last-gen Astra), only details such as the dashboard’s new centre console are fresh. But this green-tinged EcoDynamics version takes Kia into new territory, even if the blandly attractive styling, good-value pricing and seven-year warranty mean the Kia proposition is otherwise unchanged. How ...

Mini First (2009) hatchback CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 10 August 2009 14:15

Hip, urban young things take the fun Fiat 500 very seriously, and now, it seems, so does Mini – with the launch of the new entry-level First, the company is targeting the slinky Italian directly. Where does this new Mini One slot into the range? The First usurps the Mini One’s entry-level slot, undercutting that car’s £12,345 price tag by almost £1500. At £10,950, it ...
