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 ...

Aston Martin Cygnet (2011) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Jethro Bovingdon, 30 May 2011 00:01

Is this the most controversial car of 2011? The new Aston Martin Cygnet is either a fabulously clever way to make a heap of money and cut CO2 emissions, or an abomination not fit to wear the iconic winged badge, depending upon whom you talk to. Now we’ve driven the Aston Martin Cygnet in its natural city habitat. Read our first drive ...

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 06 January 2011 12:02

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 TD Elegance (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Greg Fountain, 22 October 2010 09:48

Have the 2010 revisions dragged Mitsubishi’s imperious off-roader into 21st century contention? We test the latest Shogun – on the road and off it… Excuse me while I flick through the handbook. Let me see now – ah, yes, here we are: ‘off-road performance’. ‘The Shogun can tackle the most arduous off-road work with confidence,’ it says. Yes, that’s what ...

Mercedes E250 CGI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Barry, 30 March 2010 10:30

With the CLK convertible out of the Mercedes line-up, the four-seat soft-top niche is filled by this, the E-class Cabriolet. We’re driving the E250 CGI. What’s the spec of the new Mercedes E250 CGI Cabriolet? The CGI part tells us we’re driving a direct-injection petrol turbo. The 250 bit means this is the 1.8-litre turbo that’s good for 201bhp and ...

Mercedes E250 CDI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 22 March 2010 12:13

All is not what it seems in Mercville these days. Take the new E-class Coupé and Cabriolet twins. They wear the proud E-class badge, yet strip away the verisimilitude and you'll spot the guts and garters from the C-class and E-class parts cupboards. But those looks are 100% new E, and we'd have to admit the new E-class convertible is ...

Mercedes E-class coupe (2009): CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 31 October 2009 10:00

Take a look at this new Mercedes E-class coupe. While it’s called the E-class coupe, and looks very much like an E-class, it actually sits on a C-class chassis. There’s a choice of four engines, two diesel and two petrol. For diesel power, there’s a V6 powerplant, and the smaller 2143cc unit. Alternatively there’s a petrol V6 and V8 too. ...

Audi A4 Allroad 3.0 TDI (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 22 April 2009 10:36

Audi has given the latest A4 Avant the Allroad treatment by raising the ride height and adding some butch cladding. But is it just a load of marketing rubbish? And why wouldn’t you have a Q5? What’s involved in turning an Audi A4 Avant into an Allroad? It’s essentially the same trick Audi began using on the A6 nearly a ...

Mercedes E250 CDI (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 16 March 2009 09:23

Mercedes' all-new E-class has a tough job on its hands. Throughout the '60s, '70s and '80s Mercedes dominated the medium-sized executive saloon market with cars like the W123 and W124. Cars so tough that you regularly still see them working hard for a living around the world. But then build quality disappeared, the styling became bland and the magic faded. ...

Porsche Cayenne V6 Diesel (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 24 February 2009 00:01

Porsche purists should look away now – this is the first drive of the company’s first-ever diesel production car. And it gets worse – the car in question isn’t a 911 with an oil-burning flat-six slung between the rear wheels. Rather, Porsche has fitted its first diesel engine – actually an Audi-derived unit in a (whisper it) vee-configuration – into ...
