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.

This is the fourth-generation RAV4, or to give our test car its full title, the Toyota RAV4 Invincible 2.2 D-4D. Let’s pick that mouthful of a moniker apart and find out if the new RAV4 can cut it against the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V in the school-run soft-roader class. Invincible?

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 ...

Need a two tonne off-roader that’s capable of 0-62mph in around five seconds? Who doesn’t? Well, the majority of us but for those people that are that way inclined the usual choices to flirt around consists of the Range Rover Sport, Porsche Cayenne or more powerful BMW X5 models.

Super-fast diesels with four-rings on the nose are nothing new. The A8 and Q7 have featured rapid V8, and even V12, oil burners for years. But only now has Audi put together the underbonnet hardware to tackle BMW’s epic 35d engine in its volume mid-range cars.
