Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 02 August 2011 09:36

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 ...

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer 1.4T (2011) CAR review

Ben Barry, 29 March 2011 11:30

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? ...

Seat Ibiza ST 1.6 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

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 ...

Audi RS6 Avant by Abt (2010) CAR review

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

3.5

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

2.5

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. ...

Mercedes E220 CDI SE estate (2009) CAR review

3.5

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

3.5

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. ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Estate (2009) CAR review

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 ...

Volvo V50 2.0D Powershift (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 03 February 2009 10:45

It wouldn’t matter if Brad and Angelie bought a garagefull or they became the centrepoint of a new Tate Modern display – Volvos have always struggled with their image. But the eye-catching new XC60 shows they’re nearly there and this (deep breath) Volvo V50 2.0D R-Design SE Sport (and exhale) has a certain rugged Nordic charm. Yeah, we know it’s ...
