Renault Laguna Coupe 2.0dCi GT long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 29 October 2009 10:30

Long-term test goodbye – 29 October 2009 I expected this departure to be a difficult one. The Laguna Coupe arrived with huge potential – great looks, trick steering, plenty of kit and punchy turbo diesel engine – but it was a huge sigh of relief rather than regret when the Renault finally went. Apart from a first-generation Mercedes A 140, which ...

Jaguar XF 2.7 Diesel long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 05 October 2009 10:01

Long-term test update - 05 October 2009 So the XF has gone back to Jaguar. Sob, sniff. It’s been a great companion over the past eight months and a reminder that our relationship with cars definitely shifts over an extended test. Jump in for a quick road test and you appraise merely the surface dynamics; to dig under the skin and really ...

Toyota iQ2 1.0 long-term test review

Sarah-Jayne Harrison, 03 August 2009 16:00

Long-term test update - 3 August 2009 For such a small car, the Toyota iQ is dripping with big car gadgets. Now we’ve lived with the iQ for a while, here’s how I’m finding life on the road with the city car’s toys: • The smart key entry is superb. It’s my first car with keyless go, but I don’t know what ...

Toyota Avensis 2.2 D4-D Tourer long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 04 June 2009 10:41

Long-term test update – 4 June 2009 It’s not meant to be ironic, but I suppose it is: a picture of the Toyota Avensis, lined up on the grid at Goodwood with the other Wacky Racers, from the feature in the latest July 2009 issue of CAR Magazine. Can you imagine a less *wacky* car to drive to a photoshoot ...

Renaultsport Twingo 133 'Cup' long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 26 May 2009 12:41

Long-term test update - 26 May 2009 Is there a more appropriate car for our times? After all, how many of us really, genuinely need anything else other than a tiny, fun, practical tearabout for our day-to-day transportation needs? The Twingo seats four, the boot isn’t huge but I’ve managed to fit a Marshall 2x12 amp and an industrial dehumidifier ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi long-term test review

2.5

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 ...

Volvo XC60 D5 long-term test CAR review

the CAR road test team, 05 May 2009 15:00

Long-term update – 5 May 2009 After I came back from university, fully educated but with little more than beans in my wallet, I spent several months sleeping in the garret at the top of my parents’ house. It was so small, there wasn’t enough room to swing a hamster around it. It had a bed (single), hi-fi (compact) and ...

Caterham Seven Superlight 150 long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 28 April 2009 09:00

Long-term test update - 28 April 2009 Bike versus car you say? CAR's Caterham Seven versus a Yamaha R6? The difference is huge, even with a car as extreme and stripped-down as the Caterham. That gulf is down to feel. On the edge, on cool, wet roads, riding the bike is about treading the fine line between slip and grip. ...

Audi TT 2.0 TDI long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 25 March 2009 09:00

Long-term update – 25 March 2009 Had a very interesting discussion with my wife yesterday about the TT. What surprised me was her opinion on the diesel engine. Having tooled around in the TT for a while, she has no doubt that if it was her money she was spending she would go for the TT diesel every time – ...

Bentley Continental GT long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 10 February 2009 15:00

Long-term test - 10 February 2009 Transit, Astravan, HiLux… and Continental? Running the Bentley as my only car means using it for some jobs that a Bentley just shouldn’t be used for, or at least not until it reaches that final, sad, Arthur Daley stage of its life. Mine’s not there yet – though it’s nearly four years old now ...
