Road Test by Sarah Thomas The Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart 2.0 turbo with twin clutch SST is a generously proportioned C-segment car. Due for launch is early 2009 it looks set to provide him and her with a great balance between a good looking and comfortable family car with the high s...

Honda Accord 2008 Road Test
The secret of making a torque converter automatic work efficiently is a matter of matching gearing and lock-up with the torque characteristics of the engine. That’s why, according to Project Leader Hiroyuki Ikegami, Honda has been able to achieve better economy figures for its 2.4i petr...

Mitsubishi Lancer and EVO Test
This is a test of many cars. Before, in the UK, we got Australian built Lancers that were sensibly priced Focus size cars. And a series of Japanese built hotshot EVOs, all based on entirely different, but ageing Lancer saloons. The EVOs had fairly explosive performance and culminated in some...

Mitsubishi Outlander
Wednesday, 7th February 2007 This car is a nice surprise. We’ve had to wait a long time for it because of some complex component sharing. For the UK the first batch of Outlanders have the same 2.0 litre VAG TDI PD 140 as the Mitsubishi Grandis and countless numbers of VWs, Skodas, SEATs and Audis....

Mitsubishi Colt Blue
Sunday 1st October 2006 This is really an update of my previous test of the Colt Red 3-dr. The Colt 3-dr is basically well equipped with ABS + EBD, twin airbags with a key-switch to switch the passenger’s off, Radio C/D player, trip computer, rev counter, lockable glove compartment, lots of...

Renault Megane CC
Thursday 18th May 2006 Who would want to be a mainstream car manufacturer right now? You can’t just run off a million identikit Cortinas every year and expect people to buy them. These days the punters want to be different. They want niche cars. So, like Polyfilla, you have to offer something t...

Mitsubishi L200 Triton
Sunday 29th January 2006 Updated Saturday 11th February 2006 Updated Friday 17th March While everyone else was at the L200 launch, testing the new L200 on World Rally stages in Turkey, I was driving it in Thailand. That’s where it’s built, of course. So I also got to see it being built at Mitsu...

Mitsubishi Grandis DI-D
It’s longer than a Galaxy, but shorter than a Mondeo estate. So this is a big MPV, a class above the excellent Mazda 5 and head to head against the Toyota Avensis Verso rather then the Corolla Verso. It looks really good. Long and sleek, rather than tall and boxy. One of the few MPVs you might consid...

Mitsubishi Colt 3-door
Base models are often the best test, so we went straight for the £7,499 Colt Red. The dashboard is the same as the 5-door. The front end is the same. But the 3” shorter 3-door is really a different car. The plus points and minus points depend on where you’re coming from. It’s well equipped with ABS + E...

Mitsubishi Colt
Like the Honda Jazz before it, the new Colt and its sister car the SMART Forfour have brought a breath of fresh air to small hatchbacks. (More about the ventilation system later.) I first sat in the back of one for a rest at the Motor Show, and was amazed at the amount of room in there. It’s a proper,...

Volvo S40 2004 model
Wow! It’s not often I get to test a new car and it turns out to exceed all expectations. Okay, just about anything would have been better than the old Mitsubishi Carisma based S40. And the Mazda 3 had already given a foretaste of what to expect in the chassis department. If the new S40 had been just...
