Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 VTI GT (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Mark Hamilton, 21 June 2011 07:00

The Peugeot 207 CC is the survivor of the supermini hardtop convertible class. Whilst the Daihatsu Copen, Nissan Micra C+C and Vauxhall Tigra have left new car price lists, the 207 has continued in production, selling almost 148,000 units worldwide between 2007 and 2010. In the meantime the funsize convertible market has welcomed a pair of retro rivals (the Mini ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 26 May 2011 09:30

Vauxhall's Corsa is oft forgotten as Ford's Fiesta is a sweeter drive, the cabin quality of Volkswagen's Polo is peerless, and the likes of Hyundai offer better value and better warranties – ­hence the reason Vauxhall launched its 100,000-mile warranty last year to compete with Koreans. However, while the Fiesta topped the UK sales chart in 2010 (103,013 sold), the Corsa was ...

Nissan Qashqai 1.5dCi Pure Drive (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 11 May 2011 07:00

This is the Nissan Qashqai Pure Drive. Pure Drive is a badge you won’t see on the back of GT-R, because it’s reserved for Nissan’s most environmentally friendly models (bar the Leaf EV). Changes in 2010 ushered in a sharper look for Nissan’s popular urban soft-roader, and now a series of MY11 updates includes a more powerful diesel engine, and ...

Honda Jazz Hybrid (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 03 May 2011 13:45

You usually associate hybrids with Toyota and Lexus, but not Honda – Honda makes high-revving VTEC engines, right? However, the torque-rich nature of electric motors mean they’re ideally suited to a synchronous life with a petrol engine that produces power at high revs. And with the launch of the new, facelifted Jazz, Honda has squeezed an electrified powertrain into its sensible ...

VW Polo GTI (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 02 September 2010 11:20

If you don’t love the Volkswagen Golf GTI, then at the very least you’ll probably begrudgingly respect its brilliant mix of great build quality, a good engine and everyday usability. But the latest Mk6 Golf GTI is just a little too rounded and refined, so what about something from the class below? Step forward VW’s new Polo GTI, with a ...

Nissan Juke 1.6 DiG-T (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 08 July 2010 00:54

Fret not! You might have spied the £20k price tag on this Nissan Juke first drive review, but rest assured: we've climbed into the top dog, turbocharged and 4x4 Juke aimed at Mini Cooper S territory. We've driven cheaper models in the range too (the Nissan Juke starts at a much more palatable £12,795), but the tech on the 1.6 ...

Honda Civic Si 5dr (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Paul Barshon), 17 June 2010 06:00

Back in 2006 the conservative Civic was relaunched as a futuristic-looking hatch. But the past four years have helped mellow the sci-fi looks, so to jazz things up Honda has launched an Si-spec Civic. Essentially the Si kit is just a trim level – there are no chassis tweaks, and the kit is available with all the current engine and ...

Citroen DS3 DSport THP150 (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Oliver, 26 May 2010 13:30

The French philosopher Roland Barthes wrote when the original Citroen DS was launched in 1955 that the car was now the “exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely ...

Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 19 June 2009 15:20

Don’t like it? Blame Nissan. Stung into action by the remarkable success of the Qashqai (which last year recorded a 7% increase in UK sales when the whole market was down 12%), Skoda clearly feel that making the fifth model in their line-up a crossover will give them a slice of just about the only action around at the moment. ...

Toyota Verso TR 2.0 D-4D (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 08 June 2009 09:40

Toyota’s medium people-carrier is in its third incarnation now, complete with seven seats as standard for every model, this time. Trouble is, it’s a crowded market, with everyone in on the act since Renault’s Megane Scenic kick-started things in 1996. Can Toyota’s latest effort be enough to make it stand out? Okay, it’s a Toyota, so I’m not expecting an ...
