Mercedes ML250 CDI BlueTec Sport (2012) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 03 May 2012 05:28

Mercedes updated its M-class SUV in 2011, offering a fresh take on its Alabama-built 4x4 with new platform, styling and notably-downsized powertrains. Have they leapt to the head of the premium SUV class with the latest edition? Anthony ffrench-Constant evaluates the four-cylinder diesel ML250 Bluetec Sport to find out... Mercedes ML250 first impressions: Computer says no Speed Limit Assist? No thank ...

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 16 January 2012 10:19

The new Subaru XV is a curious thing. Despite the styling iniquities visited on the likes of the once-wholesome Forester and Impreza of late, there is still a tremendous groundswell of goodwill towards Subaru out there. Which makes it all the more difficult to fathom why, far from trying to rekindle the interest of its core customer base by vigorously ...

Citroen C3 1.6 HDi (2009) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 19 October 2009 15:44

The new Citroen C3 (2009) wades into a fizzed-up supermini marketplace. With the likes of the Ford Fiesta and VW’s new Polo raising the bar to Sergei Bubka heights in the B segment of late, anything not now boasting debutante levels of deportment and style is going to have to rely on a price tag of little more than a ...

Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI (2009) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 19 June 2009 15:20

Don’t like it? Blame Nissan. Stung into action by the remarkable success of the Qashqai (which last year recorded a 7% increase in UK sales when the whole market was down 12%), Skoda clearly feel that making the fifth model in their line-up a crossover will give them a slice of just about the only action around at the moment. ...

Mercedes ML320 CDI Sport facelift (2008) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 28 October 2008 12:00

Huntsville, Alabama; where the back of every single neck is a dead ringer for 'Volcanic Splash 4' from the Dulux colour chart, where family trees have only one branch (‘yew kin divorce me, but yawl alwehs be mah sister…’) and where Mercedes took the ostensibly baffling decision to build the very first M-class back in 1997. Odd decision. After all, ...

Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTI (2008) CAR review and video

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 01 October 2008 00:01

The segment in which Vauxhall’s new Insignia must compete may be shrinking, but it still constitutes a handsome ten percent of the total market. Clearly, GM sees this as justification to throw the kitchen sink at the Insignia, equipping it with a raft of new toys that will simply never see the light of day in cooking versions set to mither the ...

Volvo XC60 D5 (2008) CAR review and videos

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 24 September 2008 14:30

Now, what was that movie wherein Dudley Moore played the advertising man whose copy simply told the truth? Can’t remember… But having promoted an airline on the sole basis that it ‘crashed less often than any other’, he went on to immortalise Volvos with the strap-line ‘They’re boxy… But they’re safe’. Now swallowed whole by Ford in America, it was ...

VW Golf 2.0 TDI 140 DSG (2009) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 23 September 2008 09:00

Despite the residue of hundreds of kilted Scottish football supporters who were far too sloshed to find the airport after the World Cup qualifying match – and, for that matter, probably still are – Reykjavik is an outstanding city from which to launch a car. Compared to anything else on offer on the planet, the surrounding scenery is absolutely brand spanking new ...
