Jaguar XF Sportbrake Diesel S (2013) long-term test review

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 ...

Audi RS4 Avant (2013) long-term rest review

the CAR road test team, 26 April 2013 09:10

Month 1 running an Audi RS4 Avant - the RS4 begins its stint at CAR It's probably worth dealing with the question of ride quality before we go any further. Much has been written about the unforgiving nature of the RS4’s chassis, and some of that was no doubt fuelled by the angst of a certain Mr J Clarkson, who told ...

Audi RS6 Avant (2013) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 09 April 2013 11:30

This is new Audi RS6 Avant, a 552bhp rival to the BMW M5, Jaguar XFR-S and Mercedes E63 AMG. It’s also the second of four new Audi RS models due in 2013, but after the disappointment of the first (the RS5 Cabriolet) can the new RS6 deliver? This über Avant is less powerful than its predecessor, but it is faster ...

BMW 330d Touring (2013) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 08 April 2013 08:00

Month 1 running a BMW 330d Touring: time to discover if the new 330d is 'all the car you'll ever need' Having declared the latest 3-series Touring the best car in the real world after our first drive last year, we knew we needed to add one to the CAR fleet. For a £1400 premium you enjoy all the brilliance of ...

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

3.5

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 ...

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

2.5

the CAR road test team, 01 January 2013 01:00

Final report on the i40 - 31 December 2012 The greatest weakness of our long-term test Hyundai is revealed when it’s time to say goodbye: I’m not going to miss it. That seems cruel, almost like saying you’re not going to miss Barney the black Labrador, who gave so many year’s faithful service – just bury him at the bottom of ...

BMW 328i Touring (2012) CAR review

4.5

Chris Chilton, 10 October 2012 15:25

The 3-series Touring is a massively important car to UK buyers: BMW GB expects to shift over 35,000 new-shape 3-series in 2013, and 8000 of them will sport that fifth door. On sale in the UK from September, the fifth generation of BMW’s posh load lugger is 97mm longer than before, and measures 50mm longer between the wheels. Some of that extra ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Audi RS4 Avant (2005-2008)

3.5

Ben Pulman, 11 September 2012 11:00

After three turbo RS models, Quattro changed tack and fitted the second-generation RS4 with a naturally aspirated engine. And what an engine: the Le Mans-winning R8 sports prototype donated its FSI direct-injection technology; 90% of the torque is still available at 7800rpm and the 8250rpm redline means it revs like no other Audi. Plus, the Sport button on the steering ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Audi RS6 Avant (2002-2004)

3.5

Ben Pulman, 10 September 2012 09:10

Audi’s maiden foray into M5 territory marked more new developments for Quattro. Power still came from a twin-turbo engine (now a 4.2-litre V8 from the S6), but future traits such as silver door mirrors, RS-branded calipers and twin oval tailpipes appeared. This was also the first RS fitted with an automatic transmission, and the first to be offered as a ...

Used cars: how to buy a second hand Audi RS4 Avant (2000-2001)

2.5

Ben Pulman, 07 September 2012 09:00

Like the RS2, the first RS4 was available only as an Avant. This time Quattro didn’t call on Porsche, but although much of the r&d was completed in-house, Cosworth Technology (then owned by Audi) was enlisted to upgrade the S4’s engine – it redesigned the cylinder head and fitted larger turbos to liberate 113bhp and 30lb ft more. It’s quicker ...
