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

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Spoilt for choice - 8 February 2012 When a bloke who works for a car mag says he’s ‘between long-term test cars’ it’s usually like when an actor says he’s ‘resting’ – ie, nothing doing. But mine is the opposite problem – my Saab hasn’t been collected yet and our Jaguar XF has been passed to me for safekeeping. This ...

Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Oliver, 30 January 2012 11:45

Welcome to our new Mercedes-Benz CLS 250 CDI long-termer - 30 January 2012 Welcome to the new luxury. The Mercedes-Benz CLS250 CDI is an elite car for humbler times. It’s a coupe that offers each occupant a door, rather than making rear-seat passengers feel like second-class citizens, and is powered by a small, efficient, clean diesel engine when for a ...

Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI SE DSG (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Seat Alhambra to the rescue - 27 January 2012 At the last count, the Seat Alhambra has won more glittering prizes than the movie Titanic (seven in the UK alone, but also garnering best MPV nods throughout Europe – including Germany). But thankfully, this is no sinking ship. Far from it. Out there among the Continent’s car-buying public, the new ...

Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 TDI (2011) long-term test review

Modern light technology on the Touareg - 26 January 2012 Almost since the birth of the car, we’ve been able to tell one design from another (often very similar one) by the radiator grille, and more recently, air intakes. Fine in daylight, but not much good in these winter months. Modern light technology though, makes it easy for designers to ...

The big spec of our even bigger Superb – 25 January 2012 Before launching into amusing anecdotes and wry observations about my new long-term test car, I thought it best to spare a moment to outline exactly what I have sat out on the driveway. The Skoda Superb is the Czech company’s biggest, poshest, most expensive model – and I’ve got the ...

BMW 530d SE Touring (2011) long-term test review

BMW 530d SE Touring (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

A year in our BMW 530d Touring - 20 January 2012 Are we road testers too easily entranced by big luxury diesel estates? Over a misspent youth poring over car magazines, I remember reading of hacks falling for the charms of said vehicles in the 1980s. One colleague on another mag actually bid for his long-term BMW 330d Touring when ...

Comparing our Jag XF 2.2 D with our old 2.7 D - 16 January 2012 Drove our new XF 2.2 four-cylinder diesel this weekend and was impressed. I ran CAR'sfirst XF long-termer back in 2008/09 - a Midnight black 2.7 V6 TD. It was pretty much universally admired around these parts for its fresh Jag aesthetic, modern, pampering cabin and athletic ...

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

Mini Countryman Cooper D All4 (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Goodbye - 15 December 2011 The Countryman is gone but not forgotten and, whilst I’m not left pining for the little rhino, I may have developed something of a softspot for it. I’m left with mainly memories of the positive attributes of this strange mutant Mini. The interior was always a delight, with the cream leather and headlining making the ...

Kia Sportage 1.7 CRDi 2WD (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Keith Jones, 25 October 2011 17:09

Judging by the frequency you see Kia’s third-generation Sportage on the roads, British buyers are captivated by its combination of Dolce & Gabbana looks at Matalan prices. But in the fiercely contested crossover market is the 1.7 CRDi front-wheel drive Sportage more style than substance in the world of faux by fours? Is the 2011 Kia Sportage as good as it ...
