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

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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)

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Audi A6 Allroad (2012) CAR review

Audi A6 Allroad (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 23 March 2012 15:30

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 ...

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, ...

Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...
