  • Mitsubishi i (2007) review

    Price:  £9,084

    11 June 2007 by Guy Bird

    Haven’t we seen this somewhere before? Not the European version, no. The diminutive Mitsubishi i city car closely resembles the ‘Concept i’ shown back in Frankfurt 2003 and a production version has...

  • Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe (2007) review

    Price:  £307,500

    08 June 2007 by Georg Kacher

    Ohhh… suits you Mr Kacher Thank you very much indeed. Yes, Rolls-Royce's Drophead is a truly breathtaking vehicle, one in which it only feels right to wear a tailored suit before swinging open that...

  • Smart ForTwo 1.0 (2007) review

    Price:  £6,840

    03 June 2007 by Ben Oliver

    So this is the car that will save Smart? Given that it’s now Smart’s only model, yes. The Roadster was canned at the end of 2004 and the ForFour last year, leaving only the original two-seat city car.

  • Smart Fortwo 1.0 (2007) review

    Price:  £6,840

    03 June 2007 by Ben Oliver

    So this is the car that will save Smart? Given that it’s now Smart’s only model, yes. The Roadster was canned at the end of 2004 and the ForFour last year, leaving only the original two-seat city car. It keeps the ForTwo name, despite no longer having to distinguish itself from its deceased bigger brother. Sales of the other two were...

  • Dodge Demon Concept (2007) review

    01 June 2007 by Nick Trott

    Dodge Demon Roadster. Great name, but this is just a concept car right? For now, yes. But like pretty much all of Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler's concepts, this one is driveable and we have driven it. The...

  • Vauxhall VXR8 (2007) review

    Price:  £35,105

    31 May 2007 by Ben Barry

    That’s one hell of a Vauxhall you've got there... Don’t let the badge fool you. It reads Vauxhall but underneath that chunky sheetmetal is Holden’s new Commodore Clubsport R8 with a higher spec GTS...

  • Mercedes CL65 AMG (2007) review

    Price:  £149,565

    22 May 2007 by Nick Trott

    Looks like a bit of a beast. Is this another warp-enabled starship from AMG? Yep. This is Mercedes’ big CL-class coupe fitted with AMG’s ballistic 6.0-litre V12 bi-turbo engine and a bunch of...

  • Ford GT Roush 600RE (2007) review

    Price:  £145,300

    21 May 2007 by James Foxall

    Isn’t the Ford GT pretty tasty already? Yes it is, but this model is even more special. Ford has actually stopped producing the GT so it decided to do something exceptional with the last handful of...

  • Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series (2008) review

    Price:  £100,000

    16 May 2007 by Nick Trott

    Black Series? Sounds posh and a little edgy. What's all that about then? AMG groups its cars into five divisions. The Black Series machines are second only to the borderline psychotic and...

  • Peugeot 207 SW Outdoor (2007) review

    Price:  £13,275

    15 May 2007 by James Foxall

    Superminis From its name I’m guessing this is a successor to the 206 SW Exactly right. Making an estate version of a supermini might not be a popular pastime for many car companies but Peugeot...

  • Nissan 350Z (2007) review

    Price:  £26,795

    10 May 2007 by Peter Burgess

    Nissan's new-for-2007 350Z is still a cracker The 2007 350Z looks the same as the old one, doesn’t it? If you look carefully there’s a bulge in the bonnet and therein lies the story. The new-for-2007...

  • Citroen Cruise Crosser (2007) review

    08 May 2007 by James Foxall

    A six-wheeled Citroen pick-up truck? Are you serious? Certainly am. And with its weird Cruise Crosser, Citroen is too. Pick-ups are big business, particularly in the UK where people have started...

  • Daihatsu Copen (2007) review

    Price:  £10,995

    02 May 2007 by Jack Carfrae

    But this looks just like the last Copen? What's new about it? The latest incarnation of the cheap 'n' cheerful little roadster from Daihatsu hasn't changed at all on the outside apart from an...

  • Subaru Impreza RB320 review

    Price:  £29,995

    26 April 2007 by Chris Chilton

    Another special edition Impreza. We must be into three figures by now Probably. This one’s the RB320, built as a tribute to the late former WRC champ Richard Burns who died in 2005, hence the RB in...

  • Audi S5 (2007) review

    Price:  £39,825

    26 April 2007 by Georg Kacher

    Have I missed something? How can we be reading about an S5 when we haven't even had an A5? Because Audi knew BMW was going to launch its M3 this spring and wanted to spoil the Munich firm's thunder.

    19 April 2007 by CJ Hubbard

    This is old news isn't it? We've seen this new new MINI before... Ah, but no. You've seen the new Cooper, and the new Cooper S - the sportiest models. This brand spanking pair of cheery-faced...

    29 March 2007 by Chris Chilton

    Well there’s a blast from the past. A pretty unwelcome one at that Hold on there. Don’t you remember the old Satria GTi? Okay, so the engine was rough as a a belt-driven sander and the square exhausts...

  • Peugeot 207 GTi (2007) review

    Price:  £15,395

    27 March 2007 by Chris Chilton

    Peugeot seems to have happily vacated its place at the top of the hot hatch pile in recent years. What’s the 207 GTi going to do to change our minds? Make the competition look expensive, for a start.

  • Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (2007) review

    Price:  £145,000

    23 March 2007 by Georg Kacher

    What's so special about this evil-looking bit of kit? It's a harder, faster and lighter Lamborghini Gallardo, a kind of pre-emptive strike against the Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale due for launch...

  • Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster (2007) review

    Price:  £91,000

    23 March 2007 by Chris Chilton

    A new Aston Martin convertible? Indeed, but don’t call it that, or even a Volante: this is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster. Those five words will set you back £91,000, £8k more than the coupe.
