Mini Cooper S gains stop-start (2007) CAR review

4.5

Tim Pollard, 03 September 2007 03:15

Eco hatch Stop-start? Is the Mini doing a little bit of Prius copying? Sort of. Stop-start systems are nothing new (manufacturers have been experimenting for decades) but they certainly have been made fashionable by the hybrid gang, led by the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid. It's a simple premise: when stationary, there's no need for thirsty petrol engines to ...

Honda FCX fuel-cell concept car (2007) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 01 August 2007 02:00

So this is a ‘production fuel cell car’? Can’t find it in the Honda price list… You won’t. California law requires big car makers to offer zero-emission vehicles as part of their line-up, and the hydrogen fuel-cell powered FCX is Honda’s latest. It will hand-build fewer than 100 from 2008 and ‘lease’ them to high-profile or worthy users for a ...

Ford Focus FFV (2007) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 31 July 2007 09:30

Aren’t alternative fuel vehicles meant to look like escapees from Buck Rogers? They used to, but Ford has the right idea. The only difference between this and a conventional Focus is a tiny ‘FFV’ badge on its rump. That's if you strip away the OTT stickers from this promomtional test car, that is; ours wasn't for shrinking violets. It runs ...

Lexus RX400h hybrid (2007) CAR review

3.5

Ben Oliver, 31 July 2007 09:25

It’s the one SUV Red Ken can’t object to… Not quite. Full credit to Lexus for making the RX400h the first car in both the luxury and SUV sectors to have a hybrid powertrain; its impressive CO2 claim of just 192g/km gives it a low company-car tax band and the fact that it’s a hybrid makes it congestion-charge exempt. Others ...

Citroen C3 Stop & Start (2007) CAR review

4.5

Ben Oliver, 26 June 2007 12:21

That’s not the future of green motoring - it’s just a Citroen C3. Don’t be so dismissive. The lengthily titled Citroen C3 1.4i 16v Stop & Start SensoDrive five-door, is very much the present of green motoring, as it carries a smart little innovation that will cut your fuel bills. It could significantly improve city-centre air quality if more manufacturers ...

Mitsubishi i (2007) CAR review

Guy Bird, 11 June 2007 09:35

Haven’t we seen this somewhere before? Not the European version, no. The diminutive Mitsubishi i city car closely resembles the ‘Concept i’ shown back in Frankfurt 2003 and a production version has been on sale in Japan since January 2006 – and CAR Online drove the Japanese version recently. But from 1 July 2007, you’ll be able to buy this ...
