    08 August 2008 by Jonny Smith

  • Smart Fortwo ED (2008) electric review

    19 June 2008 by Andrew Noakes

    Smart isn’t trialling 100 electric Fortwos in the UK, instead of Germany, because our petrol prices are higher, or because our congestion charges more swingeing. In fact, it's largely because the...

    12 March 2008 by Nick Gibbs

    The Think City goes on sale at the end of 2008 with the ability to drive over 100 miles on one charge and hit 60mph. It also looks, steers and, so we’re promised, crashes like a modern city car. If it...

  • Toyota i-Real (2007) concept review

    31 October 2007 by Tim Pollard

    Toyota i-Real: the weirdest road test ever? Well, let's clear up any confusion straight away. This isn't a conventional CAR road test. We didn't pile on hundreds of miles in the i-Real. We didn't...

  • Mitsubishi i-EV (2007) review

    05 October 2007 by Ben Oliver

  • Ford Airstream concept (2007) review

    17 July 2007 by James Foxall
