VW Golf GTI (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 22 April 2013 13:00

This is the VW Golf GTI Mk7: the fastest, most frugal Golf GTI ever made.  Is it just a subtle tweak of its Mk6 predecessor, or a truly great hot hatch worthy of the GTI name? To find out, we’ve borrowed a pre-production GTI for a revealing 350km shakedown experience in the Ile de France region around Paris. The car’s ...

VW Golf vs Audi A3 vs Mercedes A-class (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman (photography by George F. Williams), 11 March 2013 23:00

Which is the best premium German family hatchback – the VW Golf Mk7, Audi A3 or Mercedes A-class? CAR gathered an Audi A3 1.4 TFSI SE, a Mercedes A200 Sport and a VW Golf GT 1.4 TSI together in central London to bring you the definitive verdict. VW has spent billions developing the seventh-gen version of the Golf, Europe’s biggest-selling ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 18 December 2012 10:40

This is the all-new, second-generation Kuga, Ford’s mid-size SUV. As before, it’s based on Focus underpinnings, but the big news is that it replaces both Europe’s Kuga and the completely different – and long-established – Escape SUV in the US – hence it’s the Escape in the US. It’s a difficult balancing act: the Escape has a reputation as a ...

Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Kendall (photography by George F Williams), 23 December 2011 06:00

Swindon’s most famous export (aside from Billie Piper) has had a re-boot. The all-new, ninth-generation Honda Civic will go on sale in January 2012, and gently evolves the space-age Civic of 2006 – itself a radical departure from the safe, blue-rinse optimised Civics of old. First impressions count, and oddly some of the most memorable design flourishes which gave the ...

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Cloverleaf (2011) long-term test review

Rated 2 out of 52

the CAR road test team, 25 October 2011 09:30

Talking Italian - 25 October 2011 It’s only three little words, but they mean so much. Don’t worry, I’ve not been reading Barbara Cartland (again) – it’s the words ‘Benzina’, ‘Acqua’ and ‘Giri’ on my Giulietta’s instrument binnacles. That’s petrol, water and revs, if you haven’t worked it out already. Get in a German, French and Japanese car and any ...

VW Sharan (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Al Suttie, 02 June 2011 13:00

The new VW Sharan slipped discretely into the MPV marketplace in 2010, replacing a people carrier that had been first launched in 1995. Back in the mid-90s, the Sharan was a product of a joint venture with Ford that saw the original Ford Galaxy, and the Seat Alhambra sharing the same platform. Ford went its own way in 2006, with ...

Peugeot RCZ 200 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 18 March 2011 14:00

Peugeot’s brilliant RCZ coupe couldn’t quite topple the VW Scirocco and Audi TT when we tested the trio last year in diesel form. Now we’ve tried the 197bhp petrol RCZ 200 to see if it’s good enough to be the coupe of choice. 197bhp, you say? Has the Peugeot RCZ 200 bought in a load of hot Clio engines from arch rival ...

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 05 November 2010 09:12

Volkswagen says the new 2011 Passat takes… Actually, can I just interrupt you there to say the Passat Mk7 isn't new, it’s a bloody facelift. New lights, new grille, Bob ist ihr onkel. Okay, so the new, seventh-gen VW Passat does use the same platform as the 2006 car, but Volkswagen claims that every panel is new. But it manages to look almost ...

Mercedes E200 CGI Estate (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 25 March 2010 11:19

Bear with me here. A big hulking E-class Estate – weighing the thick end of 1.7 tonnes – might not seem best suited to a humble sub-2.0-litre four-pot petrol. But that's exactly what we have here. The entry-level E-class Estate is the E200 CGI, and our BlueEfficiency model in SE trim is the only E-class wagon to nudge under £30,000. ...

Ford S-Max 2.0 SCTi EcoBoost (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 08 March 2010 09:11

Ford’s S-Max MPV still seems a spring chicken, but it has in fact been on sale since 2006. Hence the 2010 facelifted S-Max you see here, ushering in a range of cosmetic tweaks (minor) and engineering upgrades (rather more significant). We’ve tested the all-new model, premiering Ford’s new global EcoBoost engines. Announced at the 2009 Detroit auto show, EcoBoost has ...
