Kia Ceed 1.4 ISG (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Jesse Crosse, 24 September 2008 12:00

Kia will go electric, in a small way at least, when it introduces the Ceed with a stop-start system early in 2009. The Ceed ISG (Idle Stop and Go) will be the first of a series of new, green, technologies on the way from Kia which is also working on hybrids and fuel cell cars. How does this Kia Ceed ...

Ford Edge HySeries CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Jesse Crosse, 27 August 2008 09:41

It’s a few years now since the first serious prototype fuel cell cars hummed onto the radar, yet they’re still very much at the research stage. That said, they have come a long way considering the rocket science involved in making them work and the huge technical mountains engineers are having to climb. The Edge is the latest from the ...

Rated 4 out of 5

Andrew Noakes, 16 July 2008 12:02

The Smart Fortwo MHD has been available in Europe since October 2007. MHD is Smart-talk for a stop/start system and stands for Micro Hybrid Drive.

VW Golf Bluemotion 1.9 TDI 5dr CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Dan Trent, 08 July 2008 11:30

Blue is the new green and Volkswagen's eco-friendly line-up continues to grow. Alongside the Polo and Passat, the Golf has now had the Bluemotion treatment – but at what price? If you want that silver sliver badge on the front, it'll cost you as much as £1290 over the price of a comparable regular TDI Golf. Order a five-door Golf ...

Nice Mega City CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Nick Gibbs, 18 June 2008 09:54

Stroll through central London on a weekday and you’d be forgiven for thinking the green car revolution had arrived. In the hour I spent driving the revamped Nice Mega City, I counted 21 electric vehicles. Mostly the G-Wiz (the Mega City’s biggest rival) but also electric delivery vans. In the congestion charge zone, electricity is almost a mainstream fuel. Nice? ...

Audi A8 facelift

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 03 September 2007 09:09

I'm sorry, did you say this was a mid-life facelift for Audi's luxury A8? Fair enough – the cosmetic changes aren't that exciting. In fact, they're really rather difficult to spot, being limited to some new front grille colours, re-arranged LEDs in the tail-lights, and new LED indicator strips in the door mirrors. Plus a different alloy wheel or two ...

Smart ForTwo 1.0

Rated 0 out of 5

Anonymous, 03 June 2007 02:36

So this is the car that will save Smart? Given that it’s now Smart’s only model, yes. The Roadster was canned at the end of 2004 and the ForFour last year, leaving only the original two-seat city car. It keeps the ForTwo name, despite no longer having to distinguish itself from its deceased bigger brother. Sales of the other two ...
