Audi Allroad 3.0 TDI long-term test review

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 ...

Mercedes ML320 CDI Sport facelift (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 28 October 2008 12:00

Huntsville, Alabama; where the back of every single neck is a dead ringer for 'Volcanic Splash 4' from the Dulux colour chart, where family trees have only one branch (‘yew kin divorce me, but yawl alwehs be mah sister…’) and where Mercedes took the ostensibly baffling decision to build the very first M-class back in 1997. Odd decision. After all, ...

BMW X6 XDrive 35i (2008) CAR review

Greg Fountain, 24 September 2008 12:00

Announcing the launch of the world’s first sports activity coupe is rather like announcing the world’s first six-decker sponge cake – probably quite tasty, but hardly a Jaffa cake moment, and way too tall to enjoy without getting yourself in a right mess. So you don't think much of the BMW X6? I wouldn’t say expectations of the X6 are ...

Volvo XC70 D5 SE Lux long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 06 May 2008 11:00

Final report - 6 May 2008. Let’s get the (very few) bad bits out the way first. With an 28mpg average, fuel economy was mediocre and no more. And the digital compass in the rearview mirror was too bright at night. Apart from these two problems, my long term Volvo XC70 verged on the genius. There. I’ve said it.I never thought ...

Infiniti FX50 CAR review

Georg Kacher, 05 May 2008 14:21

The Infiniti FX50 will be the upmarket Japanese brand’s most expensive car when the company launches into Europe in autumn 2008. At an estimated £50k and with big 4x4s about as popular as a Cadbury's teapot right now, it’s a brave move. Don't forget, Infiniti isn’t aimed at the conservative luxury market like Lexus. Instead Nissan’s luxury brand is targeting ...

Mercedes GLK350 CAR review

Georg Kacher, 21 April 2008 09:43

It's been a long wait, but we've finally driven Mercedes' new junior off-roader, the GLK. And we can confidently say Stuttgart’s latest offering is an off-roader because CAR has been mud-plugging in the GLK - and beating its big brother M-class driven by Mercedes’ own instructors. Still, the GLK has to prove an awful lot if it’s to compete in ...

BMW X6 XDrive 35d CAR review

Richard Aucock, 05 April 2008 00:00

We’ve heard of niches, but come on – an SUV coupe? Sounds a bit roast beef with ice cream to us. But from June 2008, that’s what BMW has in store. The X6 is the latest addition to the maker’s SUV portfolio of X3 and X5, which is already the best-selling premium line-up in Europe. The X5 3.0d is, surprisingly ...

Land Rover Discovery TDV6 HSE CAR review

Ben Pulman, 18 February 2008 09:11

What's the best multi-purpose vehicle on sale today? You'll struggle to find a better one than the Land Rover Discovery - an amazing jack of all trades, if ever we've seen one. It can go almost anywhere. It can carry seven full-sized adults in absolute comfort. It's family friendly, loves motorway journeys and, in diesel spec, is even vaguely sensible.Yes, ...

Cadillac Escalade CAR review

Anonymous, 26 January 2007 10:30

Ah, the Escalade. Is this American bruiser about to give Euro rivals like the Range Rover Sport, X5, M-class and Q7 a bit of a hiding? In a word, no. Or more accurately, it doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. The left-hand-drive only Escalade is like one of those misleading on-line dating descriptions – it all reads well but, ...

BMW X5 3.0d CAR review

Anonymous, 13 November 2006 10:11

Just what the world needs, another huge off-roader. That’s it, jump on the SUV-hate bandwagon. But before you do you might want to know that X5 II is safer, more efficient and even better to drive. Why? Because BMW has finally called time on its strut suspension, replaced it with a set of double wishbones which provide better-camber-control and reduce ...
