Audi Allroad 3.0 TDI long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 5

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 ...

New Audi S4 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Georg Kacher, 21 October 2008 12:30

The new Audi S4 is either Ingolstadt’s idea of a bad joke or a stroke of genius. If you follow the former line of thought, then you’re from the camp that thinks the economy has jumped off a cliff, gone into freefall and the last thing the world needs is a grunty super-saloon. But if you side with the latter then ...

Audi S5 7-speed S-tronic CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 03 June 2008 15:30

Audi has just about the most bewildering array of transmissions of any car maker – and it’s about to get more confusing, with the launch of a twin-clutch version of the S5 coupe. We’ve just driven the seven-speed S tronic S5 to bring you this first CAR review. Across its burgeoning range, Ingolstadt now offers manual transmissions, Tiptronic automatics, CVT ...

Audi TT 1.8T driven CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Christopher Hubbard, 02 May 2008 11:44

Just when you though Audi were getting carried away with the TTS and TT TDI we have the much more sensible 1.8 turbo. And no, this isn’t the old car come back to haunt us, but an entry-level version of the new car that goes on sale in 2009. And CAR Online has managed to get behind the wheel before ...

Audi TTS Coupe (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Gavin Green, 30 April 2008 12:07

The new Audi TTS is the fastest and sportiest version of the iconic TT. Finally, the TT gets the performance to complement the style. Power comes from a hotter version of the TT’s existing 2.0-litre turbo engine and the price jumps to £33,390 for the coupe and £35,390 for the roadster. It’s the first TT to play in Porsche territory. ...

Audi A8 2.8 V6 facelift CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 03 September 2007 09:09

I'm sorry, did you say this was a mid-life facelift for Audi's luxury A8? Fair enough – the cosmetic changes aren't that exciting. In fact, they're really rather difficult to spot, being limited to some new front grille colours, re-arranged LEDs in the tail-lights, and new LED indicator strips in the door mirrors. Plus a different alloy wheel or two ...

Audi R8 CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 18 January 2007 10:49

A mid-engined supercar from Audi – how extraordinary... Make no mistake, this is a seminal motoring moment. The R8 is Audi’s first mid-engined supercar, designed to prove that Ingolstadt can mix it with pedigree sporting brands like BMW and Porsche. The launch version – running a V8 – costs £77k, a chunky price tag which illustrates Audi’s three-decade transformation into ...

Audi TT 2.0T S-Tronic CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 31 October 2006 01:18

Haven’t you driven the TT? We’ve already tested the 3.2-litre four-wheel drive Audi TT, but this car’s the cut-price sibling: a front-wheel drive, 2.0-litre turbo which, at £24,625, undercuts its big brother by nearly £5000. The two cars look virtually identical both inside and out. So if 197bhp sounds like plenty and all-weather grip isn’t a priority, the 2.0-litre could ...

Audi TT 3.2 V6 quattro CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 31 July 2006 04:32

Another Volkswagen hatch in drag? Not quite. Where the old car shared too much with the Golf - to the detriment of the driving experience - this new TT is actually an ally/steel hybrid, with an extruded spaceframe chassis bonded and riveted to a steel rear section. Doors and boot lid are also made of steel, with the weightier elements ...

Audi S6 CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 26 July 2006 10:25

After the rapturous reception given to the brilliant new RS4 we've got high hopes for the S6. As well you might. All the ingredients are there: V10 Lamborghini engine, grippy Torsen four-wheel drive transmission, special 19-inch rims, four tailpipes and various S6 and V10 badges dotted around. There are even daytime LED lights mounted beneath the headlights - one for ...
