Over the past year, our team of highly respected testers have examined in minute detail, every single new car that has been launched onto the marketplace, and delivered their all important test verdict. All of these verdicts are brought together into one place, when we announce the winners of the DieselCar Car of the Year Awards 2013 in ten distinct categories. It’s the biggest issue of the year, so don’t miss out on reading about all the award winning metal. We’ve been behind the wheel of Peugeot’s new 2008, which will be going head to head with Nissan’s Juke when it arrives in showrooms later the year. We’ve tested the uprated Subaru Forester too, as well as driving the new Chevrolet Trax and Renault Captur. Last but certainly not least, we’ve put the new three-door Leon SC through its paces, and you can read all about how it stacks up. Last month, we drove the Vauxhall Cascada across Europe, and now it’s meeting one of its deadliest rivals, the Peugeot 308 CC, in the hard fought convertible sector. We’ve also got our hands on the Honda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC and it faces the Volvo V40 D2 in a battle of the sub-100g/km medium cars. We’ve also examined the MINI Clubman in microscopic detail, giving lots of buying advice in this month’s used car buyer’s guide.
