Honda Civic Type R LSD (2009) CAR review

Ben Barry, 30 December 2008 09:00

We like the Civic Type R here at CAR. Really like it. But there’s always been one thing that’s bothered us: the colour choices. Let me explain. The brilliant driver’s car that was the ’90s Integra Type R wore an iconic white colour scheme. When Honda farewelled the NSX with a Type R special edition? Also white. Even the last ...

Ford Focus ST Mountune (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 24 September 2008 09:00

If you’re bored of your Focus ST’s performance or just can’t wait until next year to get your hands of the 296bhp RS, the new Mountune performance pack for the ST could be exactly what you need. Who are these Mountune people anyway and what are they doing with the Ford Focus ST? Mountune is a division of Roush, the ...

Nissan Qashqai+2 2.0 (2008) CAR review

David Motton, 28 August 2008 12:38

Don't let Nissan catch you calling the new Qashqai+2 an MPV. Like its jacked-up hatchback little brother, this is one of Nissan’s growing family of ‘crossover’ vehicles – mainstream cars with a pinch of 4x4 here and a hint of people carrier there. Just think of it as a Qashqai hatch but with a couple of extra seats. It’s a ...

Fiat Grande Punto Abarth Esseesse CAR review

Tim Pollard, 01 August 2008 10:29

We've just driven Fiat's new Grande Punto Abarth pocket rocket on UK soil – and back to back with the Mini Cooper S – for CAR's definitive verdict. Has Fiat given the Abarth badge enough credibilitly to woo hot-hatch buyers? Or is the new Grande Punto Abarth just a hollow marketing exercise designed to open our wallets, but not our ...

Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Elegance CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 16 May 2008 09:31

Skoda’s Superb flagship has always been a leftfield option among mainstream motorway fodder. It had two difficult names to overcome, generic Volkswagen-esque styling, a lot of hand-me-down componentry and no real heritage to speak off. That didn't stop 12,500 brave souls from buying one in the UK. Skoda reckons its new Superb will be a far more attractive proposition when ...

Mazda 6 2.0 D TS2 Estate CAR review

Jesse Crosse, 23 April 2008 11:12

The last Mazda 6 launch held in Rome back in 2002 wasn’t just so much the launch of a new car but the relaunch of a brand. Did a pretty good job too, and left a bunch of bemused motoring journos wandering around muttering how good it was when actually they were secretly expecting something rather naff. Then, the emphasis ...

Peugeot 308 SW 1.6 HDi 110 SE CAR review

Ben Pulman, 18 April 2008 06:42

Peugeot’s new 308 SW is piece three from the French manufacturer’s five-part mid-sized jigsaw. Coming after the three- and five-door 308 hatches launched in late 2007, and arriving before the CC and RC Z version is this estate bodystyle. It offers a high roofline and a stretched wheelbase over the regular 308, which means the SW majors on space and ...

Renault Megane Coupe Concept CAR review

Ged Maxwell, 31 March 2008 09:07

Even Renault people admit the current Megane is something of a Marmite car: you either love it or hate it. But that could be about to change as Renault reveals a replacement this autumn. Where does the Coupe Concept fit into that plan? It gives an idea of what the current Megane’s successor will look like when a production version is unveiled ...

Citroen C5 2.0 HDi CAR review

Georg Kacher, 11 February 2008 09:28

Citroen caused a stir when it unveiled the new C5. This is a class where Renault admits to making the Laguna purposively conservative. Where Citroen’s sister company Peugeot makes the middle-of-the-road 407. So when the covers came off the C5 we were impressed. And so were CAR readers, who've on the whole praised the new look. Is Citroen finally on a ...

Peugeot RC Z concept CAR review

James Foxall, 07 February 2008 14:16

Peugeot has a history of occasional sublime moments of car design punctuating regular functionality. Think 402 from 1935, the 504 Coupe unveiled in 1969 and more recently the 406 Coupe. The 308 RC Z is certainly eye catching. But when it’s launched against Volkswagen’s all-new Scirocco can it live up to its illustrious Peugeot predecessors? Is the RC Z definitely going to ...
