The new Citroen C-Crosser SUV is about affordable style, distinction and personality; style is something that catches your eye and holds it. Practical too, it has a well thought out seating system of five standard seats, plus two fully retractable seats that fold flat into the boot floor, means there’s more than enough room for seven people to mingle. Citroens C-Crosser is pretty robust having three driving modes – Two-wheel drive (2WD), Four-wheel drive (4WD) and Lock-up mode. Each one has a specific benefit, depending on driving conditions.
The 2.2 Hdi engine delivers a punchy 156bhp and plenty of torque. So when the need arises, the C-Crosser responds in a very sporty manner – Top speed of 124mph, 0-62 in an impressive 9.9 seconds and a respectable 195 g/km* all manufacturers figures.

Vauxhall has refined its hot hatch Astra VXR with the introduction of the new Nurburgring limited edition. On closer inspection there is no doubt about the sublime visual differences. The exclusive all-white paintwork and trim really contrasts with the darkened windows and draws your eyes to the modest badging. Performance-wise its similar to the 240hp standard Astra VXR with 0-62mph being achieved in 6.2seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph.

The new Saab 9-3 range made its public debut at the 2007 Frankfurt motor show. The new 9-3 line-up consists of the saloon, the sport wagon estate and the uber-stylish convertible. Alongside the new Saab models comes four replacement variant forms the ‘Airflow’, the Linear SE updating the previous Linear Sport, the Vector Sport, the ‘Aero’ and a limited edition Turbo X designed to evoke the iconic appeal of the first black 900 Turbo and showcases the latest XWD technology. The mostly turbo-charged engine line-up include a new high performance diesel, using the low-emission twin-turbo 1.9TTiD (180 PS) unit and an innovative BioPower engine that runs on bioethanol (E85) or unleaded petrol.
Apparently 2000 modifications have been made across the range, although at a glance most of the body changes appear in the front portion with the Aero-X inspired clamshell bonnet, eyeball headlamp clusters and re-designed bumpers which give an all-round ‘cleaner’ more assertive feel. In short its definitely worth a look at if your in the market for an Audi or BMW 3 series.

Wondering about a hot hatch? Wondering which one to get? You could go far to consider a brand new kid on the block, the new Vauxhall Corsa VXR is one of the latest cars to get Vauxhalls ‘heat- treatment’. The hot new Corsa VXR does have a lot to prove in this competitive market it’s a three-door pocket rocket powered by a 1.6 16v ECOTEC-4 Turbo engine, this super mini will take you from 0-60 in 6.8 seconds and onto a max speed of 140mph, not bad but is it enough to win over avid Renault Clio RS 197bhp supporters or the Mini Cooper with the less powerful 172bhp engine but with uber-cool styling notwithstanding the fact that it’s a BMW, well yes it can!
The body shape is very tight; it’s a nice little car, a good run-around with a middleweight punch combined with lowered sports suspension, big high performance brakes, traction control and the VXR signature styling and it could be a real market contender.
