Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI (2013) CAR review

2.5

Ben Barry, 18 December 2012 10:40

This is the all-new, second-generation Kuga, Ford’s mid-size SUV. As before, it’s based on Focus underpinnings, but the big news is that it replaces both Europe’s Kuga and the completely different – and long-established – Escape SUV in the US – hence it’s the Escape in the US. It’s a difficult balancing act: the Escape has a reputation as a ...

Aston Martin Vanquish (2012) CAR review

Ben Barry, 25 October 2012 08:00

Yes, it looks like just another DB9 derivative, yet another twist on Henrik Fisker’s 2004 original, but this is the new Aston Martin Vanquish, and there’s a lot more going on than first impressions suggest. What are the big changes for the Aston Vanquish? The standout change is the use of carbonfibre for all the body panels, where the other ...

Acura MDX (2012) CAR review

Ben Barry, 17 September 2012 09:30

Think of a seven-seat SUV and the chances are that a Land Rover Discovery or BMW X5 will pop into your head. Not a Honda, though, because Honda doesn’t sell one, not in the UK at least. However, it does in North America, where it offers both the Honda Pilot and the related Acura MDX. We’re testing the Acura in ...

McLaren 12C vs the world - Part 1 (CAR archive, June 2011)

2.5

Ben Barry, 24 August 2012 12:00

So, this is it, the big one. In a layby on an empty Welsh road linking nowhere in particular to somewhere else altogether sit a McLaren MP4-12C and Ferrari 458 Italia. Both cars are brimmed with superplus, fluids tickled to temperature, specs long since decided, minders long since departed. Finally they’re ours, and over the next couple of days we’ll ...

Mazda MX-5 GT (2012) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 21 August 2012 14:00

Talk about stealing the limelight: so much has the focus been on the new Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ twins that just about everyone has forgotten about one key alternative, the Mazda MX-5. Now Mazda UK are hoping to put at stop to all that, with this MX-5 GT concept. A production car would be preferable, surely… Well, hopefully that’s ...

Stalking Kimi (CAR archive April 2010)

4.5

Ben Barry, 16 August 2012 09:30

This feels wrong. We’ve only just arrived at Färjestad – venue for the Super Special Stage that kicks off Rally Sweden – yet in a few seconds I’ll be standing next to Kimi Räikkönen, one-time F1 world champion, now full-time rally driver – the only F1 driver ever to make such a full-time switch. We’ve sneaked in to an autograph ...

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta (2012) CAR Review

4.5

Ben Barry, 30 July 2012 09:22

Here it is, then, CAR Magazine's long-awaited first drive review of the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, replacement for the 599. The F12 is an all-new car, but the basics remain familiar: a powerful, naturally aspirated V12 sits ahead of the driver, while power flows to the rear wheels only. What are the key features of the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta? The 6262cc V12 ...

Ben Barry's Caterham Seven drift day blog

Ben Barry, 10 July 2012 09:17

A couple of months back I was lucky enough to drive the Caterham SP300R, a slicks and wings racer that bridges the gulf between a Caterham 7 and an F1 car. But before I was allowed to drive the SP300R on track, Caterham sent me out in a 7 to get a feel for things. Truth be told, I haven’t ...

Vauxhall Astra GTE: Ben Barry on his first hot hatch

4.5

Ben Barry, 18 June 2012 11:12

Last year, my parents’ home caught fire. No-one died or anything, and the fire brigade caught the blaze before the whole place burned down, but there was some pretty significant damage, so my folks took the decision to gut the house and start again. This was a significant event for me, because I’d lived in that house since 1976 and, ...
