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 E220 CDI SE estate (2009) CAR review

Mercedes E220 CDI SE estate (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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

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. ...

Honda Accord Type S Tourer (2009) CAR review

Honda Accord Type S Tourer (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Glen Waddington, 08 July 2009 14:56

The 2.2-litre diesel engine in Honda’s Accord looked a little undernourished on paper – until now. It’s been boosted by 30bhp to a much more competitive 178bhp, and torque is up from 258lb ft to 280lb ft – and spread from 2000-2750rpm. To capitalise on the extra grunt, Honda’s added a new model at the top of the Accord range, ...

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

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, ...
