Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

Mini Coupe Cooper SD (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 26 November 2012 04:00

Parting with the Mini Coupe isn't such a sorrow after all - 26 December 2012 So after 23,598 miles, the Mini has gone. Like a gauche but nonetheless entertaining houseguest on the verge of outstaying his welcome, the red-and-black-striped eyesore is no longer part of my daily routine. In many ways I’m glad the good people at Mini came and ...

Saab 9-5 2.0 TTiD Aero (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 20 March 2012 12:01

The final good-bye - 20 March 2012 Finally, after a delay of nearly three months, Saab’s administrators turn up to reclaim our long-term test car This is the last will and testament of Saab 9-5, registration OV11 EKR. I’ve written about this car more than any long-term test car I’ve ever driven, and it’s probable that all of us – ...

BMW M3 Competition Pack (2010) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 21 July 2011 09:30

Goodbye to a great car – 21 July 2011 As most of you know, my beloved M3 actually disappeared back to BMW a while ago, from where in went into the dealer network and was probably bought by some unsuspecting punter who thought it was a great buy and had no idea about its past history as a hard-used press car. ...

Audi RS5 (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 27 June 2011 10:00

Converted to the RS5 cause – 27 June 2011 What on earth is Ben Pulman and the rest of the office on? Glance through the comments below and you'd think none of us like the Audi RS5. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fact is, the RS5 has rather split opinion. Those with the words 'road tester' somewhere on their ...

Infiniti G37S Coupe (2010) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 10 June 2011 09:00

Goodbye Infiniti G37S Coupe - 10 June 2011 There was a real sense of loss as I watched the G Coupé being trailered away this month. It was a car that endeared itself with every passing mile, one brimful of character and confidence. It was an unusual day if I wasn’t asked about the Infiniti – who made it, how ...

Renault Laguna Coupe 2.0dCi GT long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Bentley Continental GT long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...
