Honda CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC EX (2013) long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road-test team, 05 April 2013 07:00

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 ...

Peugeot 208 Allure 1.2 VTi (2012) long-term test

3.5

the CAR road test team, 04 April 2013 10:00

Month 4 running a Peugeot 208 - bemoaning the 208's well below-par gearbox I'm no expert, but if you’re building a 200mph supercar I presume you test it at high speed so the bodywork doesn’t disintegrate like Wile E Coyote’s Acme-powered, Road Runner-chasing rocket. And if you’re developing a supermini for city life, then you’d evaluate it in stop/start traffic, right? ...

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

the CAR road test team, 04 April 2013 09:30

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 ...

Volvo V40 D2 SE (2013) long-term test

the CAR road test team, 03 April 2013 09:00

Month 5 running a Volvo V40: testing the V40's practicality to the limit Having a new baby at the end of last year has had quite an impact on family life with the Volvo: going anywhere these days – even a short daytrip – involves lugging a mountain of equipment around, like we’re embarking on a major expedition up the Orinoco ...

Peugeot 508 SW 2.0 HDI (2012) long-term test review

3.5

CAR road test team, 21 March 2013 09:00

Month 12 running a 508 - the final verdict on our time in the 508 SW It's au revoir to the grand voiture this month, and as I watch the collection driver slowly check for damage around the vehicle that has been my personal transport for the last eight months – and silently curse me for leaving it with an ...

Jaguar XF 2.2D (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 18 March 2013 10:00

Month 12 running a Jaguar XF - final thoughts as the Jaguar leaves the CAR fleet I didn't design this car to save the company,’ Jaguar designer Ian Callum told CAR in October 2007. ‘But if it works, it will,’ we added. At that moment Jaguar was in trouble, and for sale. Investment firms were circling, sales had slumped, and the ...

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 01 March 2013 10:30

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 ...

Lotus Evora S 2+2 (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 12 February 2013 09:30

Month 9 running a Lotus Evora S: final report and goodbye to the Evora The aftermath of Dany Bahar’s plan to take Lotus back to the big time might, to him, feel like the fuzzy waking moments after an epic night of consumption – ‘There’s a picture of me and Swizz Beatz on Facebook? I should call Bob Lutz about ...

Hyundai Veloster Turbo (2013) long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road-test team, 01 February 2013 09:00

Month 1 running a Hyundai Veloster Turbo: the Veloster arrives If you’ve read the last few issues of CAR, you’ll know that we like Hyundai’s Veloster Turbo a great deal. While the anaemic performance of the naturally aspirated engine in the standard Veloster dims its overall appeal, the Turbo posts some far more attractive go-faster figures. It’s the first of ...

Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

Ben Oliver, 20 January 2013 09:01

Mercedes CLS250 CDI goodbye - 17 January 2013 Well how wrong can you be about a car? Or its looks, anyway. When friends ask if you’ll drive them to their wedding, you know you have something pretty special – a car for the big day that you can drive every day. My Mercedes-Benz CLS250 CDI Sport didn’t feel that special ...
