Volvo XC60 D5 (2008) CAR review and videos

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 24 September 2008 14:30

Now, what was that movie wherein Dudley Moore played the advertising man whose copy simply told the truth? Can’t remember… But having promoted an airline on the sole basis that it ‘crashed less often than any other’, he went on to immortalise Volvos with the strap-line ‘They’re boxy… But they’re safe’. Now swallowed whole by Ford in America, it was ...

Jeep Cherokee 2.8 CRD Limited UK CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

CJ Hubbard, 06 August 2008 10:47

Bing. Bing. Bing. The new Jeep Cherokee's tyre pressure warning bell announces itself in typical American car fashion as soon as we turn the key. Gladly, it shuts up after just a few repetitions, and since the psi reduction is deliberate we set off. Jeep is about to prove just how effective its latest Selec-Trak II system is by allowing us ...

BMW X3 2.0d CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Barry, 05 August 2008 13:31

Previously untouchable in the premium compact SUV segment, the BMW X3 now finds itself with some impressive competition. Audi has the Q5 and coming over the hill, looking like a monster, is Mercedes’ GLK. Both are based on newer platforms than the X3 and offer serious, credible alternatives. Can BMW’s baby premium 4x4 still match up? Isn’t the BMW X3 starting ...

Audi Q5 2.0 TDI CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 10 July 2008 18:23

The Audi Q5 is here – and we've driven it. Finally Ingolstadt has a medium-sized SUV with which to battle the likes of the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK. But in the war of the small, premium Germans 4x4s, the X3 is ageing fast and the GLK won’t be in the UK until 2010 at the earliest. That leaves the ...

Land Rover Defender 110XS long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

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 ...

Nissan Pathfinder 2.5 dCi Aventura CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Matthew Jones, 14 May 2008 11:10

Remember Nissan’s TV advert where the Pathfinder sent people screaming for cover as it chugged through an Amercian city? That’s because this pick-up is a gigantic brute of a car, a proper workhorse, a ‘car’ that’s not afraid to roll up its sleeves and get dirty. And because Nissan knows that it can’t match the green oval kudos of Land ...

Subaru B9 Tribeca 3.0 CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 15 December 2006 02:30

Is this the ugliest car on sale? I like a man who gets straight to the point. The Tribeca’s certainly an acquired taste - it’s difficult to look at either end without wanting to vomit. But at least it’s distinctive, and viewed in profile it’s actually fairly handsome. But yes, this does look like a car that’s got some chromosomal ...

Cadillac SRX CAR review

Rated 2 out of 5

Anonymous, 25 August 2006 03:30

Hmmm, this looks like the dictionary definition of a Yank tank... The SRX is nearly as long as a Range Rover and weighs well over two tonnes, so it's hardly compact. But you ain't seen nothing yet. Compared with its obese brother, the Escalade ESV (2696kg and 5.6metres long), the SRX might seem a bit on the diminutive side. It's ...
