Toyota Avensis 1.8 Valvematic Tourer (2009) CAR review

Steve Moody, 15 December 2008 17:00

Do you have a handy mat for kneeling on in the garden? How about an all-in-one slipper for both your feet? Cantilevered ‘easy’ tongs for picking up leaves without bending down? Is the biggest thrill in your day the frisson of fear delivered by virtue of the Daily Mail’s latest doom-mongering? No? Well then the chances are that you do ...

Hyundai i30 Estate 1.6 CRDi Premium CAR review

Keith Adams, 26 May 2008 09:00

Along with its Kia Ceed kissing cousin, the Hyundai i30 has been quietly playing an important part in the Korean car industry’s plan to gain mainstream global acceptance. The hatchback has already established itself as a competent player in the Golf/Focus sector, with only its badge and bland styling stepping in between it and critical acclaim. The arrival of the estate ...

Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi Titanium CAR review

Alex Grant, 28 March 2008 15:41

Ford’s C-Max has always looked a little dowdy and functional when compared to its sister S-Max. The latter has shrugged off its size with sharp angles and a car-like drive, and shot off forecourts as a result. Thankfully Ford has now turned its attention to the baby family carrier, finally giving the C-Max a splash of kinetic design to bring ...

Audi A3 1.4TSI Sport

Glen Waddington, 25 March 2008 11:35

Logic dictates that you should just ignore the Audi A3 and buy a Golf, because it's more spacious, cheaper and better-equipped. But logic would deny you an appealing car if accommodation matters less to you than image. There's no denying the A3 is a slick little hatchback, and the hi-tech appeal of this little turbocharged 1.4-litre engine suits it well.An ...

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi XE CAR review

Anonymous, 04 December 2007 13:41

The Sportage is new, is it? Doesn’t look it... It’s a facelift rather than an all-new car, and we’re talking nip and tuck rather than major surgery. Park the old and new models next to each other, and the changes are more obvious. There’s a new grille, black bezel headlamps and 16-inch alloy wheels. The bumpers are now body coloured, ...

VW Golf Estate 2.0 TDi CAR review

Anonymous, 11 May 2007 06:22

Volkswagen took their time unleashing this handsome devil Yes, the previous VW management dithered, discussed and delayed the project until it was almost past its sell-by date. In July 2007, two full years behind the original schedule, the third-generation Golf Variant will finally appear in right-hand drive form. “Initially, we thought that the Touran and the Golf plus could together ...

Toyota Hilux D-4D 170 CAR review

Anonymous, 05 April 2007 09:42

I thought this was CAR? Looks more like a truck to me. A truck it is and it’s here on CARonline because the British tax loophole is closing up. For the past five years or so sales in commercial vehicles have boomed in the UK as company car drivers took advantage of the special dispensation given to pick-ups and vans. ...

Jeep Compass 2.0 CRD Limited manual CAR review

Anonymous, 02 March 2007 10:00

Is this the much vaunted ‘Jeep for ladies’ then? Well sort of. This is Jeep’s first ‘compact sport utility’ and it’s hoping the softer more modern lines will appeal to drivers who want a Jeep but don’t want to look all checked shirt and hairy arsed. They’ve made it more on-road biased and more economical and easier to live with, too, ...

Peugeot 207 CC driven CAR review

Anonymous, 07 February 2007 03:08

The Peugeot 207 looks the same as the 206 CC. A bit unimaginative, isn’t it? Peugeot thinks style is a major selling factor, so the genes of the earlier 206 are obvious. The company could be accused of playing safe, but it knows this market very well indeed. The 207 is already selling nicely in hatchback form so why try ...

Seat Leon Cupra CAR review

Anonymous, 09 November 2006 12:27

Ah, a sporty Leon. That'll be the FR, yes? No. Despite looking identical to the 197bhp Leon FR hot hatch, this is the red hot, 237bhp new Cupra. Not that you'd really know from the pictures. If it were in any other colour than black you’d spot the ebano black mirrors, and if you're really up to speed on Leon ...
