Should you buy winter tyres: CAR puts them on test

3.5

Ollie Kew, 04 December 2012 11:11

Do winter tyres work? We've explained how snow tyres work in our separate story here, but now it's time to put them to the test. We've tried cold-weather rubber in a wide range of cars, to see if they really are up to the hype. The venue? Porsche's Experience Centre at Silverstone. The cars on test: a winter tyre workout CAR ...

Gavin Green on improving humble rear-view mirrors

Gavin Green, 08 June 2012 11:55

If we exclude the tiny volume luxury car kings, the auto companies probably doing the best cabin designs right now are Audi, Jaguar and Volvo. After a brief drive of the new and impressive Volvo V40 – the best Volvo I've driven – there was one particular stand-out cabin feature that raised an approving smile: the rimless rearview mirror.

These are machines born from conviction, not committee. The Subaru Impreza STI and Mitsubishi Evo are obvious examples, cars about as far removed from your typical Japanese runabout as bungee jumping is from a ...

Audi S4 Avant: the best non-RS Audi on sale today?

Tim Pollard, 29 April 2009 10:29

I think I’ve stumbled upon the best Audi on sale today. Just back from a week away in a brand new Audi S4 Avant, the new-for-2009 one with the supercharged V6 where once nestled a big old V8 lump. And it’s brilliant. Those of you following CAR Magazine’s Twitter feed will have already read me microblogging on why I believe ...

Lifestyle alert! Why I bought a Volvo estate

Ben Whitworth, 14 August 2008 14:56

Last week I did something I never thought I would do. I purchased a Volvo. A dirty great big V70 estate – a D5 SE if you like that sort of detail. Our little Skoda Fabia estate was battling to handle the vast array of luggage needed to sustain our two young daughters on any journey further than twenty yards, ...
