Mercedes E63 AMG Estate (2011) long-term test review

Mercedes E63 AMG Estate (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 04 October 2011 10:00

Goodbye to our E63 Estate  – 4 October 2011 So, it’s all over; the best, most complete, most satisfying car I’ve ever owned is returning to Mercedes. I’ve loved the look, the comfort, the performance, the practicality, the lairy chassis, the main dealer aftersales service. There’s only been one niggle: I’ve not always been convinced by the gearbox’s Comfort and Sport modes, ...

Saab 9-5 Sportwagon (2011) pre-production CAR review

Saab 9-5 Sportwagon (2011) pre-production CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 16 June 2011 09:43

The Saab 9-5 hasn’t exactly been met with rapturous applause. In fact it's come in for harsh criticism for its even harsher ride quality, particularly from the UK press, and Saab is keen to put that right. So we’ve been invited to spend the day driving with Saab’s chassis engineers as they carry out testing of the new Saab 9-5 ...

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer 1.4T (2011) CAR review

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer 1.4T (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

This is the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer, the big-booted version of the Griffin's family hatch. It's the second Astra model (joining the five-door hatch) while there's also a three-door GTC on the way later in 2011. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer. Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer – an Opel in all but brandname? ...

Mercedes C63 DR520 Estate (2010) CAR review

Mercedes C63 DR520 Estate (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 13 August 2010 07:50

The Mercedes C63 AMG isn’t exactly a common sight on our roads, but if you’d like a little more exclusivity, how about this: the DR520. It’s based on the C63, but fettled at Mercedes-Benz’s Brooklands UK headquarters. Only 20 will be built in either saloon or estate spec, and we’re driving the estate. What are the changes that create the ...

Audi RS6 Avant by Abt (2010) CAR review

Audi RS6 Avant by Abt (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 22 April 2010 10:51

For most people, you’d think an all-wheel drive estate with 572bhp and 479lb ft of torque was quite enough. Not German tuner Abt, which has tweaked the Audi RS6 to 690bhp and 590lb ft. ABT, you say? It’s Abt, surname of company founder Johann Abt, and it’s pronounced much like ‘apt’. After years on the edges of our consciousness, Abt ...

VW Golf SE 1.4 TSI Estate (2010) CAR review

VW Golf SE 1.4 TSI Estate (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Glen Waddington, 06 April 2010 15:29

Volkswagen hasn’t bothered to wreak the same transformation with the new Golf Estate as it did with the Golf hatchback, in the progression from Mk5 to Mk6. There are new engines, a new facia and a new nose, but the chassis and structure are pretty much left alone. So, should we feel cheated, or is a revamped old-shaped Golf estate ...

Mercedes E200 CGI Estate (2010) CAR review

Mercedes E200 CGI Estate (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 25 March 2010 11:19

Bear with me here. A big hulking E-class Estate – weighing the thick end of 1.7 tonnes – might not seem best suited to a humble sub-2.0-litre four-pot petrol. But that's exactly what we have here. The entry-level E-class Estate is the E200 CGI, and our BlueEfficiency model in SE trim is the only E-class wagon to nudge under £30,000. ...

Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer 1.6T (2009) CAR review

Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer 1.6T (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Glen Waddington, 15 June 2009 10:00

The Vectra estate majored on space but looked as sexy as a stack of bottle crates. The Insignia hatch and saloon have turned their backs on the functional nature of the old Vectra, and the new Sports Tourer does the same to such an extent that Vauxhall couldn’t bring itself to label it an estate. But if it’s now sexy, ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Estate (2009) CAR review

Mercedes C63 AMG Estate (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 02 March 2009 09:30

Seems like the Mercedes C63 AMG estate has a bit of breathing space. Why? Because if you’re in the market for a circa-£50k muscle estate, you’re options are seriously limited. BMW failed to come through with the M3 Touring and there’ll be no RS4 Avant this time (just the V6 S4 Avant and RS5 coupe), leaving you with the option ...

Saab 9-3X 2.0T (2009) CAR review

Saab 9-3X 2.0T (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 02 March 2009 09:00

Road testing any Saab in the current anvil-off-a-cliff company climate feels uncomfortably akin to reviewing a restaurant which has just served up perfectly roasted slices of the last remaining dodo. And road testing the new 9-3X is all the more frustrating for the fact that it should have been with us a good decade ago. Apportioning blame for this sorry ...
