the CAR road test team, 08 April 2013 08:00

Month 1 running a BMW 330d Touring: time to discover if the new 330d is 'all the car you'll ever need' Having declared the latest 3-series Touring the best car in the real world after our first drive last year, we knew we needed to add one to the CAR fleet.

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 ...

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

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.

I wondered if the sloping rear window might cause trouble but all I needed to do was jiggle the front ...

Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 07 October 2008 09:30

Long-term test report - 7 October 2008. So my Mercedes C-class has gone – and I will miss it like few other long-term cars. The C320 CDI really got under my skin. Its presence, its power and its ability to elevate any journey to a special event sucker-punched me a week after its arrival and my captivation grew with every passing ...

Volvo XC70 D5 SE Lux long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 06 May 2008 11:00

Final report - 6 May 2008. Let’s get the (very few) bad bits out the way first. With an 28mpg average, fuel economy was mediocre and no more. And the digital compass in the rearview mirror was too bright at night. Apart from these two problems, my long term Volvo XC70 verged on the genius. There. I’ve said it.I never thought ...
