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 ...

Ford Mondeo Econetic CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 04 July 2008 00:00

Another week, another mainstream model that's been 'greened'. Ford is launching Econetic models across its range – with the common goal of boosting economy and battering emissions. The new Mondeo Econetic goes on sale in July 2008 and it enters a pretty busy sector; we've already tested numerous VW Bluemotion models as well as Seat's Ecomotive versions. The Mondeo follows ...

VW Passat Bluemotion CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Richard Aucock, 24 June 2008 09:23

The Passat Bluemotion is part of a burgeoning range of eco-Volkswagens. The Polo Bluemotion started things off, but it is the dearer, more mainstream stuff  - like the Passat - that will make VW money. Indeed, UK stocks of the Passat and Golf are already sold out for months. What have they done to make Blue go green? More than ...

Fiat Bravo 1.6 16v Multijet Dynamic Eco CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

By Jesse Crosse, 29 May 2008 09:56

Establishing whether or not a car is fun to drive is entirely subjective and what some might find an absolute blast, others may think is dull as ditch water. So the boys and girls at Fiat Powertrain have come up with what they call the ‘fun to drive index.’ The idea is to turn drivers’ perceptions into numbers and so ...

Ford Focus Econetic driven

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 30 April 2008 12:44

Ford’s gone green with the Focus Econetic, so you can put that order for a Toyota Prius on hold. Stick a pair of sill extensions and narrow tyres on a Focus, lower it, and you get a drag factor of 0.31 and a class-leading carbon output of 115g/km. It even comes with a natty little Econetic badge on the bootlid, ...

Mitsubishi i-EV

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 05 October 2007 09:50

Just another pie-in-the-sky electric concept car, right? Wrong, for two reasons. Firstly, we’ve driven it: CAR Online is the first to get behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi i-EV. Second, Mitsubishi reckons it can have it on sale in the UK as early as next year - though 2009 seems a safer bet – for under fifteen grand. That will ...

Ford Focus ECOnetic

Rated 2 out of 5

Ben Barry, 28 August 2007 04:52

Car manufacturers will be tripping over themselves to look leaner and greener at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show. Today Ford throws its hat into the ring with the Focus ECOnetic. Usually when a car manufacturer announces lowered suspension and an aerodynamics kit for its medium-sized hatchback, it goes hand-in-hand with extra power and a GTi badge. Not so Ford, which ...

Honda Civic IMA

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 27 June 2007 12:44

The poor man’s Prius? The Civic IMA is certainly cheaper than the better-known Prius, starting from £16,300 to the Toyota’s £17,765. Its propulsion principle is the same; IMA stands for Integrated Motor Assist. Both cars are petrol-electric hybrids and use batteries to store the energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. That energy is then sent to an electric ...

Rated 0 out of 5

Keith Adams, 03 June 2007 02:34

The olde-worlde 75 reborn as a hybrid? Whatever next… Amidst the confusion about Chinese MGs and Rovers, would-be partner to the Longbridge company, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) has quietly revealed an innovative petrol/electric hybrid version of the model formerly known as the Rover 75. The Hybrid, unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show, and mooted for production before the end ...
