    Price:  £34,540

    10 November 2008 by Ben Pulman

    The Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe is a 3-series BMW really should make. To create it Alpina, the Buchloe-based tuner, tweaker and BMW bedfellow takes a regular 3-series coupe. It then drops in the...

    Price:  £9,500

    22 October 2008 by Jed Maxwell

    Hyundai is brimming with confidence over its new i20 supermini. The firm asked buyers of the Getz – the model the i20 replaces – what they didn’t like about their car. Unsurprisingly, the wallowy...

    Price:  £27,995

    22 October 2008 by Guy Bird

    The Renault Laguna Coupe is the best-looking car the recently ‘design-troubled’ French brand has produced for years. That might not be such an achievement given Renault’s current line-up, but...

  • Renault Megane five-door: where's the bustleback gone?

    Renault Megane 1.5dCi (2008) review

    Price:  £15,795

    17 October 2008 by Phil McNamara

    Renault split opinion with the outgoing Megane 2. You know, that shakey-ass marketing. The distinctive, bustleback styling. A classic Marmite car, in fact. The sad thing is, the marketing suits have...

    15 October 2008 by CJ Hubbard

  • Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTI (2008) CAR review and video

    01 October 2008 by Anthony ffrench-Constant

    The segment in which Vauxhall’s new Insignia must compete may be shrinking, but it still constitutes a handsome ten percent of the total market. Clearly, GM sees this as justification to throw the...

  • Audi A6 2.0 TDIe (2008) review

    Price:  £24,800

    29 September 2008 by Glen Waddington

    There’s an all-important headline figure for the new Audi A6 2.0TDIe, and it’s not 53.3mpg – however impressive that may be. No, of greater importance is its carbon emission figure of 139g/km,...

    24 September 2008 by Anthony ffrench-Constant

    23 September 2008 by Glen Waddington

    Price:  £20,550

    23 September 2008 by Anthony ffrench-Constant
