Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top  pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. Underneath the skin there are bits of Astra hatchback and Insignia saloon, but the Cascada looks altogether classier than run-of-the-mill Vauxhalls. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite ...

Lotus prices Exige S Roadster from £52,900

Lotus prices Exige S Roadster from £52,900

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 22 May 2013 11:00

Lotus has announced its new Exige S Roadster will be priced from £52,900 – exactly the same as the hard-top Exige S. It’s also slightly lighter than the fixed-head Exige, and matches its blistering acceleration times.  That £52,900 tag makes the 345bhp Exige S Roadster £7500 pricier than a (pre-options list) Porsche Boxster S manual, though the 1328kg Porsche makes ...

Citroen DS3 Cabrio THP 155 (2013) CAR review

Citroen DS3 Cabrio THP 155 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 18 April 2013 11:00

Citroen's new DS3 Cabrio is squarely aimed at the chic drop-top city car crowd, who've only had the Mini Convertible and Fiat 500C to woo them up until now. Does the French contender have the je ne sais quoi needed to take class honours? We drove the hot 1.6 THP 155 version to find out. It’s the £19,680 flagship of ...

Jaguar F-type V8 S (2013) CAR review

Jaguar F-type V8 S (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Mark Walton, 17 April 2013 09:30

This is the Jaguar F-type, in top-spec V8 S guise. Its supercharged V8 engine sends 488bhp to the rear wheels, giving the £75k F-type the performance of a £100k XKR-S. But can the F-type live up to the best sports cars In the class - and its legendary E-type ancestor? Read on for the CAR verdict. Give me some more ...

VW Beetle Cabriolet 2.0 TSI (2013) CAR review

VW Beetle Cabriolet 2.0 TSI (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Greg Pajo), 14 March 2013 09:00

VW’s range already boasts two drop-tops:  the Golf Cabriolet and folding hard-top Eos. Now, the retro-styled VW Beetle joins the convertible contingent, and CAR has driven it in 2.0-litre Turbo guise to see how it stacks up. Clearly hoping that we winter-weary, Vitamin D-starved Brits would burn ourselves silly and write deludedly nice things while suffering a bout of sunstroke, ...

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible (2013) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

You wait ages for a new Corvette, and then six weeks after the new Stingray bows in at the 2013 Detroit atuo show, its soft-top sister is revealed at the Geneva motor show. The latest C7-generation Corvette drop-top uses the same mechanical package (big V8 up front, power sent to the rear wheels) as its fixed-head sister but adds an electrically-folding soft-top roof that ...

Aston Martin will launch a convertible version of the Vanquish sports car later in 2013, and CAR has scooped the soft-top super-GT testing in the UK. Mechanically identical to the hard-top car we first drove in 2012 (see our video review below) the Vanquish Volante sits on Aston's aluminium Gen4 VH platform, and has a 565bhp 5.9-litre V12 which will power it to a 180mph-plus top speed. ...

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept (2013) drop-top GT86 revealed

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept (2013) drop-top GT86 revealed

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 01 March 2013 09:30

Toyota will show a drop-top 'FT86 Open' concept at the 2013 Geneva motor show. It's supposedly a concept version created only to gauge customer reaction to a GT86 convertible, but with test mules already hard at work elsewhere, this is one concept car you can be sure will make it to showrooms almost unchanged. After all, that 'FT86' moniker stands ...

Want a Porsche for the least money possible? You want a Boxster. You can snap them up from just £5k now. We’re now onto the third-gen Boxster, and everything from the earliest Mk1s to the earliest Mk2s are on the menu if you’ve got £10k or less to spend. Guide me through the Mk1 Boxster range Even those early Mk1s ...
