Rated 1.5 out of 51.5

Georg Kacher, 24 April 2013 12:40

Like the retro-cute Fiat 500 and boxy Panda? They’ve won over enough buyers to convince Fiat to completely re-launch its model range themed around its two city cars by 2015. Next up after the 500L mini-MPV is a new supermini and family hatchback, and a flagship SUV crossover. Read on for the full scoop on Fiat’s supersized city car plans. ...

MG3 supermini (2013) first official pictures

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 22 April 2013 22:00

This is the MG’s new Fiesta-fighting supermini: the MG3. It’ll go on sale in late 2013 carrying Korean brand-challenging prices and what MG is touting as ‘a distinctive statement of modern British style’ aimed at young buyers. Though the 3 is more likely to draw in penny-pinching pensioners, given that MG’s past that is rather more evoctive than its present. ...

Peugeot 208 Allure 1.2 VTi (2012) long-term test

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 04 April 2013 10:00

Month 4 running a Peugeot 208 - bemoaning the 208's well below-par gearbox I'm no expert, but if you’re building a 200mph supercar I presume you test it at high speed so the bodywork doesn’t disintegrate like Wile E Coyote’s Acme-powered, Road Runner-chasing rocket. And if you’re developing a supermini for city life, then you’d evaluate it in stop/start traffic, right? ...

Renault Zoe EV (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 28 March 2013 12:00

This is a massive launch: the new Zoe is an electric car Renault really needs to succeed, as it’s the tip of a four billion euro arrow, fired years ago by Carlos Ghosn. Certainly, it’s a cracking looking thing, with its cute, stubby looks and stylish, airy interior that is techy without being weird. But is it four billion well ...

Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost 99bhp (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 15 February 2013 10:50

Ford’s mid-life changes to the Fiesta supermini get more radical the further forward you move along the car. At the back, there’s some lightly refreshed taillight clusters. In the middle, a usefully simplified climate control interface. And up front, a headline new engine: the three-cylinder Ecoboost unit from the B-Max and Focus, hiding behind a big-mouth grille that’ll provoke more ...

Renault teased us earlier in the week with a single shady image of the new Captur - and here it is, fully revealed today in all its compact SUV splendour. Coming in the wake of the new Clio’s renewal, the Captur marks the next step-up in Renault’s design offensive. New stylist in chief Laurens van den Acker is rebooting La Regie's wardrobe ...

Citroen DS3 Red editions (2013) pictures and details

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 03 January 2013 09:49

Citroen has kicked off the new year with a special edition DS3. The DStyle Red and DSport Red follow the usual special edition recipe: new colours, more kit, and less cash. But would you put up with that bright splash of red to score better value for money? That depends... What's so special about the 2013 Citroen DS3 Red? There's ...

Vauxhall Adam 1.4 (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 08 November 2012 09:00

Vauxhall has just launched the new Adam city car, GM Europe's take on the Fiat 500 and Mini quasi-premium city car set. Here's our first drive review of the new 2013 Vauxhall Adam. With a name like that, it's all about being bold, funky and different - and trying just a little bit too hard if you ask us. Adam ...

The Fiat Panda (2012) and the cult of the 'squircle'

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 06 November 2012 10:32

Squircles are the designer's latest friend – the new motif which you'll find adorning many new cars, from BMW's ugly-as-sin 1-series to the new Fiat Panda. I drove the Fiat Panda TwinAir last night and couldn't move for the damn things. Squircles here, squarcles there. About the only thing left round was the steering wheel - and even then the ...

Dacia Sandero (2012) priced from £5995

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 18 October 2012 14:30

Buying advice doesn't come more pragmatic than this: if you want a brand new car for the least possible amount of money, then this is your next drive. It's the new Dacia Sandero, which has been officially priced at £5995. That's £2000 less than the cheapest Citroen C1, and £3800 less than a similarly-sized Ford Fiesta.  Exactly how much car ...
