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

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 17 May 2012 12:00

The key to unlocking our Lotus Evora S – 17 May 2012 As you’ll read about in the new June 2012 issue (out now) the entire CAR team recently decamped to north Wales for a few days of thrashing each others long-termers around secluded Snowdonian roads. We drove, we ate, we drank, the cars drank (Anthony’s RS3 more than most) and Greg Fountain ...

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

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 16 May 2012 12:50

We switch our Mini Coupe off its run-flats on to ‘normal’ tyres. Does it improve the ride? - 16 May 2012 Everyone that has been a passenger in the Mini has quickly commented on how hard and unyielding the ride is. Yes, I know the Coupe is pitched as the sportiest model in the Mini range after the hotshoe GP, ...

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 (E36) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 15 August 2011 09:30

The end of the M3? – 15 August 2011 As you’ll probably guess from the pics, the race didn’t go so well – my M3 came home from the Team Trophy at Donington yesterday on a breakdown truck. In fact, I didn’t even race – I just managed to scrape through the qualifying session before it all went wrong. Shame, because I ...

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 ...

VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI (2010) CAR long-term test

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

The CAR team, 10 May 2010 09:54

Long-term test review - 10 May 2010 Had the editor’s VW Scirocco at the weekend and came away mightily impressed. It’s not a car I would buy – space is at a premium and that kiwi fruit green paint job and black wheels are too look-at-me – but if I were in the market for a two-door coupe, the Scirocco ...

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 ...

Audi TT 2.0 TDI long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 – ...
