Toyota Land Cruiser V8 TD (2008) CAR review

Toyota Land Cruiser V8 TD (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 17 January 2008 17:26

Toyota's Land Cruiser. Since 1954 and with five million made, it’s gone on to be the world’s best-selling SUV. The Range Rover’s an upstart compared to this, and Toyota’s world domination started with exports of the Land Cruiser. As such, the company treats it reverentially. That’s why it allowed a team of 1500 engineers the luxury of five years to ...

BMW 635d (2007) CAR review

BMW 635d (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

A 635d? Hmm, potentially an interesting combo… Indeed. Mating the excellent twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel to BMW’s mildly-facelifted 6-Series Coupe and Cabriolet, creating (they say) the world’s first diesel GT 2+2, is something we’ve been anticipating with intrigue. The 282bhp unit has the same power as an ‘80s M 635 CSi, yet the 427lb ft of torque is over 10 percent ...

BMW 123d Coupe M Sport (2008) CAR review

BMW 123d Coupe M Sport (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

We quite liked the BMW 135i, but the bulk of the 1-series Coupe sales will be diesel. How times change. The 120d boasts 177bhp (to think we thought a 1990s 325i, with 170bhp, was fast) but it’s the range-topper that’s the most interesting. The 123d, benefiting from BMW’s sequential twin turbo technology already seen on the 535d, boosts this 2.0-litre four ...

Renaultsport Megane 2.0 dCi 175 (2007) CAR review

Renaultsport Megane 2.0 dCi 175 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Golf GT TDI, SEAT Leon FR TDI, Toyota Auris D-4D T180... there are a few diesel hot hatches around nowadays... Indeed, which is why the RenaultSport engineers built a concept fitted with the Nissan-Renault 175bhp 2.0-litre dCi engine - to convince management that they could join the party, too. Approval duly granted, they set about honing what's still a rarity; ...

BMW X5 3.0d (2006) CAR review

BMW X5 3.0d (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Just what the world needs, another huge off-roader. That’s it, jump on the SUV-hate bandwagon. But before you do you might want to know that X5 II is safer, more efficient and even better to drive. Why? Because BMW has finally called time on its strut suspension, replaced it with a set of double wishbones which provide better-camber-control and reduce ...
