Month 5 running a Volvo V40: testing the V40's practicality to the limit Having a new baby at the end of last year has had quite an impact on family life with the Volvo: going anywhere these days – even a short daytrip – involves lugging a mountain of equipment around, like we’re embarking on a major expedition up the Orinoco ...

Month 12 running a Jaguar XF - final thoughts as the Jaguar leaves the CAR fleet I didn't design this car to save the company,’ Jaguar designer Ian Callum told CAR in October 2007. ‘But if it works, it will,’ we added.

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 01 March 2013 10:30

Month 9 running a Kia Sportage - we say goodbye to our Kia Now my time with the Sportage has ended it’s time to admit to something: I’ve never been a big fan of soft roaders. The full, river-wading, rockfall-clambering Monty is fine (even if it never does a day’s real work in its life) but I can’t bear pretend ...

Month 9 running a Lotus Evora S: final report and goodbye to the Evora The aftermath of Dany Bahar’s plan to take Lotus back to the big time might, to him, feel like the fuzzy waking moments after an epic night of consumption – ‘There’s a picture of me and Swizz Beatz on Facebook?

Month 11 running a BMW M5: we say farwell to out longterm M5 After 11 months and 16,000 miles – 11,000 of them in CAR’s hands – our M5 has finally departed.

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

the CAR road test team, 01 January 2013 01:00

Final report on the i40 - 31 December 2012 The greatest weakness of our long-term test Hyundai is revealed when it’s time to say goodbye: I’m not going to miss it. That seems cruel, almost like saying you’re not going to miss Barney the black Labrador, who gave so many year’s faithful service – just bury him at the bottom of ...

It’s a scenario familiar to anyone with a young family: you pull into the packed car park, eventually find your parking space, then try to extricate your screaming offspring from the bulky child seats you’ve plugged into the back row. At this moment the conventional car door becomes your nemesis: it’s hinged at the car’s central B-pillar, so the car ...

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 26 November 2012 04:00

Parting with the Mini Coupe isn't such a sorrow after all - 26 December 2012 So after 23,598 miles, the Mini has gone. Like a gauche but nonetheless entertaining houseguest on the verge of outstaying his welcome, the red-and-black-striped eyesore is no longer part of my daily routine. In many ways I’m glad the good people at Mini came and ...
