Seat Ibizas past and present - plus a rally version
We’re out in Barcelona test-driving the new Ibiza hot hatches: the FR, Cupra and Bocanegra.
The FR sits at the bottom of the line with a 1.4-litre turbo and supercharged engine developing 150bhp while both the Cupra and Bocanegra boast 180bhp from the tuned version of the same power plant. Keep reading →
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X 330 SST
We recently reviewed Mitsubishi’s hottest Lancer Evo X, the FQ 400 and now its smaller-but-still-spicy sibling has appeared.
Insert “you wait ages for a hot Evo, then two come along at once” joke here.
To give it its full name, this is the Lancer Evo X GSR SST FQ-330. Here’s our first pictures of the car: Keep reading →
Vauxhall Insignia: 2009 European Car of the Year
The 2010 European Car of the Year shortlist has been announced.
There are 29 cars listed, with models as varied as the Porsche Panamera super-saloon and the hybrid Honda Insight vying to take the accolade won by the Vauxhall Insignia last year.
But which will win? Here’s four of our picks – make your prediction below. Keep reading →
Made do with a Morris Minor? Courted in a Cortina? Married in a Montego?
We’ve all had cars we look back fondly on. A reminder of an old boyfriend or girlfriend, a great adventure, or simply because it was a great car.
Our Ford Ka is heading home soon. Here’s what we’ll miss about the nippy city runabout – and what we’re not so sorry to see the back of.
LIKE: Build quality
It’s a small car but there’s no evidence of corner-cutting. The door handles in particular have a solid, quality feel to them. Keep reading →
The Focus RS might be the Ford that’s getting everyone excited at the moment, but there’s plenty to entertain with its smaller brother – the Fiesta Zetec-S Mountune.
It’s half the price of the RS, but certainly doesn’t seem half the car.
Ford Ka
A Ford Ka arrived in the office this week and the timing couldn’t be better. London is being hit by a two-day tube strike, and a nippy little city car is just what we need to avoid the public transport chaos.
We’ll be putting the Ka to our ten-point test later this week. In the meantime here’s the first pictures of our car. If there’s anything you want to know about the Ka or would like to see in our review please leave a comment below. Keep reading →
Maserati GranTurismo
It’s a good week when we get a Maserati in to test drive. It’s a very good week when we get two…
This two-seat Maserati GranTurismo S arrived at Auto Trader today. Not only does it look utterly ferocious, but its caterwauling 4.7-litre V8 engine can push it to 183mph and 0-62mph in sub-five seconds. Keep reading →
My new (used) Beemer
I am a big BMW fan.
Don’t ask me why or even when it started, but somehow the allure of Munich’s famous straight-sixes coupled to rear-wheel-drive and excellent build quality slowly wormed its way into my brain.
And I finally have satisfied a long-standing urge to buy a properly quick, properly rare performance BMW.
Maserati Quattroporte
We’ve just taken delivery of a Maserati Quattroporte which we’ll be putting through a ten-point test later this week.
First impressions? Well, you can’t help but be floored by its elegance and presence. It’s a bona fide head-turner.
I wish they’d put the markings for the gear lever on the driver’s side of the column. But that’s exactly the sort of thing you notice the first time you drive a car, and then quickly forget about. Keep reading →
