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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Audi A6 Allroad (2012) CAR review

Audi A6 Allroad (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 03 April 2012 08:46

The new 2012 Audi A6 Allroad is an unusual brew of contradictions and adaptations. On the one hand, this model, now in its third iteration, is a darling of the Middle England red-trousered brigade, that most conservative of social sets. Yet it is effectively a blinged-up A6 Avant, with chrome plastered everywhere (hardly the best material for off-road work), hung ...

Skoda Superb Greenline Estate (2012) long-term test review

Skoda Superb Greenline Estate (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

In search for a second-hand Skoda Superb - 23 March 2012 With the end of my time with the Skoda Superb estate fast approaching, I find myself contemplating the future and getting a little anxious. The thought of life without her and her big booty fills me with dread and fear. And so it is, late at night and after ...

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

the CAR road test team, 20 January 2012 10:30

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 ...

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Rental cars. Not what they used to be. So when I touched down in Italy on my recent summer holiday, imagine my delight when my cheapest-possible-small-estate package turned out to be the new 2011 Ford Focus Estate – one of the few cars I've not driven. Ours was the popular 1.6 TDCI Focus in Studio trim, roughly equivalent in spec ...

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.0 JTDM TI (2011) CAR review

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.0 JTDM TI (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 23 May 2011 12:02

Here’s the thing about the Alfa Romeo 159: it could be launched today and I’d wager you and I would be slavering over it. You’d be hard pressed to believe this is a six-year-old design, so shapely is the 159’s style. And the 159 Sportwagon estate is equally desirable – those Design Giugiaro badges on the flanks seem very deserved. ...

Seat Ibiza ST 1.6 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Seat Ibiza ST 1.6 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Sarah-Jayne Harrison, 05 October 2010 16:43

The third in Seat's Ibiza range, the latest Ibiza ST estate operates in a niche very nearly all its own. It slots in between the five-door Ibiza supermini and a fuller-sized estate from the class above. Only Skoda and Renault compete in the supermini wagon market. The Ibiza ST offers more boot space than the regular Ibiza hatch, without compromising the sporting lines penned by ex-Lamborghini ...

Mercedes E220 CDI SE estate (2009) CAR review

Mercedes E220 CDI SE estate (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Glen Waddington, 15 October 2009 10:47

We’ve been getting to know the new E-class saloon for a few months and now Mercedes has launched the fifth-generation estate to match. Guess what? It’s springing no surprises. The engine range reflects everything the saloon offers, while the class-leading loadspace was designed with ease of use in mind and is supported by self-levelling air suspension and an electric tailgate ...

Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (2009) CAR review

Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Glen Waddington, 19 August 2009 09:00

Skoda’s Octavia vRS has built up something of a cult following. Seems a bit unlikely, but factor in its hot-hatchy character, diesel economy and innate practicality and you’ve got to wonder what its rivals are – especially in estate format. Now it’s been facelifted and comes with VW’s latest common-rail engine. We’re testing it with the dual-clutch DSG paddleshift transmission. ...
