Nissan Micra facelift (2013) first official pictures

Rated 1 out of 51

Ollie Kew, 03 June 2013 12:01

Nissan’s tried to inject some of the styling fizz of the Juke into the Micra supermini, with a package of visual tweaks for 2013. The cabin’s had a nip and tuck too, and Nissan has confirmed prices won’t rise sharply versus the current £9800-14,000 range. What’s new for the latest Nissan Micra? A Juke-style front grille, new front bumper, triangular ...

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 03 June 2013 10:00

Month 5 running a Peugeot 208 - comparisons with the faster 208 THP156 Last month I was bemused by the fact Peugeot hadn’t engineered the 208 to be easy to drive around town – blame the flimsy throttle pedal and rubbery gearbox. But the cooking version, the 156bhp THP, is much better. With a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-pot it is, of course, ...

Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ollie Kew, 28 May 2013 12:30

Bye-bye outdated Colt, hello fuel-sipping new Mirage. Mitsubishi’s new five-door only supermini is the most aerodynamic car in its class, but is a slippery shape all the Mirage has going for it? We drove the top-spec Mirage 3 to see if class honours remain an unobtainable oasis on the horizon… Does the Mitsubishi Mirage cut through the air like its ...

Fiat to apply 500 and Panda formula to entire range by 2016

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. ...

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 Captur (2013) finally to be unveiled at Geneva

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jonathan Burn, 10 January 2013 09:00

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 ...

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 ...
