Range Rover Evoque (2012) long-term test review

Range Rover Evoque (2012) long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Month 10 running a Range Rover Evaoue: thoughts on the Evoque's cabin What’s the inside story on the Evoque? Plump for the coupe, and you pay £1000 more than for the five-door and get two fewer doors. If you need frequent access to the rear, the glacial motorised slide of the front seats could drive you potty, and squeezing through ...

Month 4 running a Mazda CX-5: our CX-5's build quality impresses Ask my wife’s 86-year-old grandfather, who suffers from failing eyesight, about what he misses most and he says it’s driving. Growing up in Cyprus he would rattle around in tractors and Austin Sevens when he was still in short trousers. After moving his family to England in the 1960s, he owned ...

Month 1 running a Honda CR-V – the new CR-V makes it CAR fleet debut Life is full of surprises and Kia’s Sportage was one of them. I was optimistic about it before it arrived, impressed with the comfort, agility and practicality when it was here and sorry to see it go. The Sportage was always going to be a tough ...

Audi A6 Allroad 3.0 BiTDi (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

Month 6 running an Audi A6 Allroad - the strange Audi service schedule explained No, I'm not supplementing my income with a bit of funeral directing on the side, the matching colours were simply coinicidence. The mini-me is my girlfriend’s 2004 A4 Avant TDI, pictured here to show the positive side of Audi’s sometimes painfully slow design evolution. Can you think ...

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 ...

Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 TDI (2012) long-term test review

Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 TDI (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

Is our VW Touareg 3.0 TDI good value? 22 May 2012 In another life, Rory Lumsdon, VW’s PR manager was a magazine sub editor tasked with polishing my road test words when we both worked at Autocar. Seems like old habits die hard, because after I’d mentioned the price difference between my V6 Touareg and our European ed, Georg Kacher’s, ...

Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE long-term test review

Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

the CAR road test team, 13 August 2010 09:38

Long-term update - 13 August 2010 If you’ve been reading the magazine updates, you’ll know that we’ve had a few electrical problems with the Range Sport: going in to limp home mode, telling me the gearbox was broken, electric windows going a bit haywire to name but a few. It turned out that Land Rover had issued a recall to fix various ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi long-term test review

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

the CAR road test team, 14 May 2009 15:07

Long-term test update - 14 May 2009 Much of the pleasure taken from life with our long-term Ford Kuga has centred around its chassis and its steering. Both owe more to the brilliant Focus than Andrew Ridgeley owes to George Michael (ie, everything), and together they achieve the remarkable feat of making an SUV handle like a real car. Other SUVs ...

Audi Allroad 3.0 TDI long-term test review

Audi Allroad 3.0 TDI long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 29 December 2008 09:30

Long term update - 29 December 2008 Yes, it really did fit. Even I was amazed when the Allroad swallowed the 6ft fridge freezer I’d bought second-hand when we moved house recently, saving me the hassle and expense of hiring a van. I wondered if the sloping rear window might cause trouble but all I needed to do was jiggle the front ...

Land Rover Defender 110XS long-term test review

Land Rover Defender 110XS long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 01 July 2008 10:00

Long-term test goodbye - 1 July 2008 This test was all about finding out if the new, updated Defender could cut it as a genuine family 4x4, and take on the new breed of 7-seater SUVs. On paper it’s got everything – great styling (ok, not exactly styling, but does anyone NOT think this is a handsome car?); it’s got three rows ...
