BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2011 09:54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 13 July 2011 09:00

The Edition 35 is Volkswagen’s way of celebrating 35 years of the Golf GTi – it wasn’t the first hot hatch, but it was the first that actually mattered. But as anniversary presents go, is it a diamond ring, or does it feel more like a bunch of garage flowers? Wow, the VW Golf 35! It looks…exactly the same as ...

Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 11 July 2011 12:00

Renault’s new Megane RS 265 Trophy recently smashed the Nurburgring lap record for front-wheel drive cars. But does that translate into more on-road fun? Read on for our first drive of the new Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy to find out... I didn’t even know there was a lap record for FWD cars. It’s a bit like hearing that Blackburn reserves beat ...

VW Scirocco R (2009) CAR review

Ben Barry, 04 November 2009 00:01

Volkswagen is nudging upmarket with the new 2009 Scirocco R reviewed here – isn't a 263bhp sports coupé treading dangerously close to the toes of inhouse rival the Audi TT? Especially as the VW Scirocco R costs a competitive £26,945, £6500 less than an equivalently powerful TT S.We've just driven the new VW Scirocco R and can deliver our first ...

Caterham R300 and Roadsport 175 (2009) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 12 June 2009 12:00

Caterhams may all look the same to the uninitiated, but its two latest models – the Roadsport 175 and R300 Superlight couldn’t be more different if they tried. Of course, they’re both insanely fast, deliver more hits of adrenalin per mile than anything else for the money, and stand firmly next to ten on the driver engagement scale, but that’s ...

Lotus 2-Eleven (2009) n/a CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 26 January 2009 11:39

The Government hates the car, and whether that’s true (or whether they just like taxing the motorist), there’s no getting away from the fact that life on the road can be pretty hard. So we need to escape, yet supercars are big and unpractical and out of the reach of almost all of us. Thus the track car came into ...

Lotus Eco Elise (2009) green CAR review

Tim Pollard (photos by Michael Topham), 09 December 2008 13:27

CAR's test of the Lotus Eco Elise has an inauspicious start. I slip into the driver's seat – with that swing-legs-in-haul-your-weight-around gymnastic routine familiar to generations of Elise owners – and thumb the start button. The first few hundreds yards confirm the Elise's rich DNA. Who doesn't love Hethel's back-to-basics purity? The tiny rim squirming in your palms, the wings' ...
