Porsche Panamera Diesel (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 22 July 2011 09:40

Just a few months after launching the Panamera petrol hybrid, Porsche is serving up an alternative maximum efficiency GT: the Panamera Diesel. It can, says Porsche, cover 745 miles on its 80-litre tank. If you’ve got a capacious bladder, an optional 100-litre tank is set to be an option too. The Panamera Diesel goes on sale from August 2011, and, ...

VW Sharan (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Al Suttie, 02 June 2011 13:00

The new VW Sharan slipped discretely into the MPV marketplace in 2010, replacing a people carrier that had been first launched in 1995. Back in the mid-90s, the Sharan was a product of a joint venture with Ford that saw the original Ford Galaxy, and the Seat Alhambra sharing the same platform. Ford went its own way in 2006, with ...

Mercedes C350 CDI facelift (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 08 March 2011 08:00

At a casual glance the revised 2011 Mercedes C-class looks much the same, but this mid-life facelift actually consists of 2000 new parts that variously fettle the exterior, interior and powertrain – more than any other facelift in Merc’s history. What are the main changes to the facelifted C-class? The exterior looks a little sharper thanks to new bumpers, headlights ...

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 06 January 2011 12:02

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

Infiniti M30d GT Premium (2010) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Stephen Worthy, 22 November 2010 10:43

A couple of months after we first drove the new petrol-powered Infiniti M37, CAR has spent some time with the version that is expected to account for 55% of European sales for Infiniti’s executive saloon: the new M30d diesel. Only 55% of Infiniti M sales? That few? Sounds on the conservative side, doesn’t it? Especially as the only other version ...

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 05 November 2010 09:12

Volkswagen says the new 2011 Passat takes… Actually, can I just interrupt you there to say the Passat Mk7 isn't new, it’s a bloody facelift. New lights, new grille, Bob ist ihr onkel. Okay, so the new, seventh-gen VW Passat does use the same platform as the 2006 car, but Volkswagen claims that every panel is new. But it manages to look almost ...

Mercedes E250 CDI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 22 March 2010 12:13

All is not what it seems in Mercville these days. Take the new E-class Coupé and Cabriolet twins. They wear the proud E-class badge, yet strip away the verisimilitude and you'll spot the guts and garters from the C-class and E-class parts cupboards. But those looks are 100% new E, and we'd have to admit the new E-class convertible is ...

Porsche Cayenne D Techart Tech9 CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 24 August 2009 12:30

We’ve been ever-so-slightly underwhelmed by Porsche’s first diesel car, the Cayenne V6 diesel. With 3.0-litres, 237bhp and 405lb ft, its performance just doesn’t sparkle like a Porsche ­– even a diesel Porsche – should, and it looks a little dull too. Seems that Porsche tuners Techart feel the same way, and the firm is now offering a range of upgrades through UK ...

Range Rover Sport TDV6 (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 07 August 2009 00:00

Land Rover has revised its most road-focussed SUV ever, the Range Rover Sport. There’s now new petrol and diesel engines (shared with the new Discovery 4, XF and XJ), a thoroughly revised interior, and a more modern exterior to match the look of the recently facelifted Range Rover proper. Read on to find out exactly how the new £50,695 2010 ...

VW Golf GTD (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Colin Overland, 01 July 2009 10:33

There are plenty of reasons for wanting a VW Golf, and they’re the same reasons that generally applied to all five previous generations. It’s a car that distils everything VW knows about providing do-everything motoring in a reasonably compact, affordable-ish package. If you buy into the Golf idea, and you want it badged VW rather than Skoda, Audi, Seat or ...
