Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 17 May 2013 13:00

So, here it is then, the upcoming addition to the CAR longterm fleet: ‘my’ Jaguar XF Sportbrake. You can’t get a Sportbrake in the petrol flavours offered in the saloon; instead you’ll choose from a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel in either 161bhp/295lb ft or 197bhp/295lb ft guises, or a 3.0 TD V6 with either 237bhp/368lb ft or 271bhp/442lb ft. The Sportbrake ...

Month 4 running a Mazda CX-5: our CX-5's build quality impresses Ask my wife’s 86-year-old grandfather, who suffers from failing eyesight, about what he misses most and he says it’s driving. Growing up in Cyprus he would rattle around in tractors and Austin Sevens when he was still in short trousers. After moving his family to England in the 1960s, he owned ...

Month 5 running a Volvo V40: testing the V40's practicality to the limit Having a new baby at the end of last year has had quite an impact on family life with the Volvo: going anywhere these days – even a short daytrip – involves lugging a mountain of equipment around, like we’re embarking on a major expedition up the Orinoco ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 25 March 2013 13:15

This is the fourth-generation RAV4, or to give our test car its full title, the Toyota RAV4 Invincible 2.2 D-4D. Let’s pick that mouthful of a moniker apart and find out if the new RAV4 can cut it against the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V in the school-run soft-roader class. Invincible? That’s quite a claim for the new RAV4… Toyota ...

CAR road test team, 21 March 2013 09:00

Month 12 running a 508 - the final verdict on our time in the 508 SW It's au revoir to the grand voiture this month, and as I watch the collection driver slowly check for damage around the vehicle that has been my personal transport for the last eight months – and silently curse me for leaving it with an ...

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 18 March 2013 10:00

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. At that moment Jaguar was in trouble, and for sale. Investment firms were circling, sales had slumped, and the ...

Mercedes CLA220 CDI (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 06 March 2013 17:00

This is the Mercedes CLA, a new niche model from Stuttgart that aims to offer the style of the CLS 'four-door coupe' at a price that slots in below the C-class.

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 01 March 2013 10:30

Month 9 running a Kia Sportage - we say goodbye to our Kia Now my time with the Sportage has ended it’s time to admit to something: I’ve never been a big fan of soft roaders. The full, river-wading, rockfall-clambering Monty is fine (even if it never does a day’s real work in its life) but I can’t bear pretend ...
