Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi (2012) long-term test review

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

It’s amazing how your views on things can change once you actually give something a go. I’ve got to admit I read the Sportage blurb with some cynicism before it arrived, particularly the Sport bit. OK, the looks are ‘sporty’ enough but when I got to the bit about the high sheet metal glass ratio giving the feeling of sitting ...

Is our VW Touareg 3.0 TDI good value? 22 May 2012 In another life, Rory Lumsden, VW’s PR manager was a magazine sub editor tasked with polishing my road test words when we both worked at Autocar. Seems like old habits die hard, because after I’d mentioned the price difference between my V6 Touareg and our European ed, Georg Kacher’s, ...

Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

More long trips in our Mercedes CLS - 21 May 2012 My wife has left me. I am 700 miles from home, on crutches with a right knee that has all the structural integrity of blancmange, and in two days’ time I’m expected to spend all day walking the halls of the Geneva Palexpo show complex. But I don’t expect ...

We switch our Mini Coupe off its run-flats on to ‘normal’ tyres. Does it improve the ride? - 16 May 2012 Everyone that has been a passenger in the Mini has quickly commented on how hard and unyielding the ride is. Yes, I know the Coupe is pitched as the sportiest model in the Mini range after the hotshoe GP, ...

The key to a comfy saloon - 14 May 2012 Audi, BMW and Mercedes. These are the names that the government-approved Road Test Computer throws out when you key it to search for Jaguar XF rivals. Fair enough. The computer works on the basis of set criteria, among them size, body shape, price, performance etc. But, when the CAR long-termer ...

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 ...

Peugeot 508 SW 2.0 HDI (2012) long-term test review

Peugeot 508 SW 2.0 HDI (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

CAR road test team, 30 April 2012 17:50

The 508 SW has arrived! 30 April 2012 The Peugeot 508 SW arrived today to take the place of a much beloved and recently departed Skoda Superb. Both big diesel estates, both costing around £25k. The Superb pleased on all fronts and gives a good basis for comparison. The big Pug looks great sat on the driveway - it’s all ...

Mazda CX-5 2.2D (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 17 April 2012 09:46

This is the new Mazda CX-5, and it really is new. The Mazda CX-5 ushers in a whole raft of new technologies – under the SkyActiv banner – aimed at cutting weight, consumption and emissions. The two engines, the two gearboxes, the chassis, and the body, have all been designed and developed from scratch under the SkyActiv philosophy, and that ...

Hyundai i40 Tourer 1.7 CRDi (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Enjoying the 500-mile range of the i40 - 13 April 2012 It's all in the mind of course, but there is something satisfying about a range of over 500 miles. Makes you feel like you're getting value for money. It's all in the mind because in order to see that figure on the trip, you've got to brim the Hyundai's ...

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

The highs and lows of an integrated seat – 13 April 2012 We were pretty much given a blank canvas by Seat when speccing up the Alhambra. We went fairly conservative too, with road test editor Ben Pulman reining in my demands for the pretty olive green-cum-gold ‘boal’ paint in favour of bold salsa red, but our Spanish friends did stipulate one ...
