Ford Fiesta ECOnetic Road Test / Review – Cars UK’s Conclusion We wanted to give the Fiesta ECOnetic a good work out, and we did. Four different drivers over ten days, travelling over 500 miles in a variety of road conditions, none of which were ‘Eco’ favourable. The vast majority of the time was spent […]
Ford Fiesta ECOnetic: On the Drive – Claire’s Test Drive
Ford Fiesta ECOnetic Road Test / Review – Claire’s Drive I like Fiestas. My daily drive is a year old Fiesta 1.25 Zetec , which is a fun car and suits me perfectly. It’s small, nippy and easy to park. So I thought I’d struggle to find anything good to say about a diesel Fiesta […]
Ford Fiesta ECOnetic: On the Drive – Vince’s Test Drive
Ford Fiesta ECOnetic Road Test / Review – Vince’s Drive This was my first chance to drive Ford’s new eco-friendly Fiesta since the press launch in January, and my opinion hasn’t changed. This really is a great little car. This new Fiesta is bigger than the previous model and it benefits from that, giving this […]
Ford Fiesta ECOnetic: On the Drive – Carla’s Test Drive
Ford Fiesta ECOnetic Road Test / Review – Carla’s Drive > This Eco-Fiesta. Nice little car! I’ve had three Fiestas in my time, and this one is by far the easiest to drive. The gearbox in particular is really easy to use and pulls well whatever gear you’re in. And it’s so quiet. I’d expected […]
Electric Audi R8 – perhaps
The Audi R8 has been a runaway success. Even in these difficult times it’s still selling better than ayone could have expected. And the launch of the Audi R8 V10 recently at the Detroit Motor Show has just upped interest in Audi’s ‘Halo’ car. But where do Audi go from here? Well, we know that […]
Ford Fiesta ECOnetic: On the Drive
When we went to the launch of the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic back in January, we were suitably impressed with what Ford had managed to squeeze out of the Fiesta, although a little less impressed by the price. With emissions at a road tax busting 98g/km, and a headline economy of over 76mpg, it promised very […]
New Toyota Prius – UK prices pegged
Well it looks like all the scrapping between Honda with its Insight and Toyota with its Prius is, as we recently said, going to pay dividends for buyers of Hybrid cars in the UK. The next generation Toyota Prius will start delivery in the UK in August, and Toyota has just announced that it will […]
Lexus RX450h – UK ready
The new Lexus RX450h was revealed last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and orders are now officially being taken in the UK for delivery to customers from July. So should you consider one? Well, I guess it depends on your point of view (doesn’t it always?). No one can deny that Lexus bolt a […]
New Toyota Prius could be delayed
There has been a lot of hype surrounding the next generation Toyota Prius, which has recently launched in Japan, and which we can expect soon in the UK. It has a new, bigger engine, increased performance and reduced emissions. And of course it’s by default the darling of the ‘Planet Savers’. So there is much […]
New Vauxhall Corsa ecoFLEX – Vauxhall’s most economical car
It’s been a bit of a Vauxhall week. Last week saw the first details and pictures of the New Vauxhall Astra (preceded by teaser shots of the Astra), and news that Vauxhall are now offering off-the-shelf Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer police cars in the UK. And now comes the news that Vauxhall has released its […]
