BMW M5 (2012) long-term test review

BMW M5 (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 08 May 2012 16:01

Steel brakes clogging up on our M5 - 8 May 2012 Had a quick peek at the M5’s cross-drilled brake discs the other day and noticed they were clogged with carbon deposits. Every hole on the front discs is full, while the rear discs are slowly filling up. I actually ended up inspecting them after feeling that the brakes weren’t ...

Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R (2012) CAR review, 15 February 2012 09:00

In the UK, we still think of Hyundais as being cheap little runabouts and, really, that’s true – a large number were shifted during the scrappage incentive, and you rarely see anything bigger than an i30 on our roads. These days we are getting a taste of more upmarket, sportier things from the Korean maker, including the impressive i40 and, ...

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Porsche Panamera V6 (2011) CAR review

Porsche Panamera V6 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 10 June 2011 09:00

Porsche's Panamera is the entry-level model in Porsche's five-door GT range. Fitted with a 3.6-litre V6 engine, the basic Panamera begs a significant question: without the massive performance or four-wheel drive, does the Panamera's four-seater practicality overwhelm the controversial looks?

Mercedes S63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Mercedes S63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Kyle Fortune, 03 June 2011 15:30

The Mercedes S63 AMG has received the latest 5.5-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. In AMG terms that counts as a notable case of downsizing, replacing as it does the 6.3-litre naturally-aspirated V8 in the AMG line-up. But how does the smaller V8 affect the driving experience in AMG's hi-po limo? Read on for CAR's Mercedes S63 AMG road test... Mercedes S63 ...

The definition of agility – 15 July 2011 Phew. Breathless drive last night in our leviathan A8 4.2 TDI leaves me marvelling at the strange mysteries of dynamic scale. I’ll let you into a wee secret: myself and the editor had a slight disagreement the other day about the word ‘agility’. We wanted to get across the fact that the Alfa ...

Greg Fountain, 21 April 2011 09:20

BMW Alpina has produced its latest B5 Biturbo, based on the F10 5-series. Now that BMW is moving to twin-turbo V8 power for the next M5, has BMW Alpina stolen a march on its factory rivals at BMW M? Or is the BMW Alpina B5 Biturbo unlikely to threaten the default fast BMW saloon?  Read on for our first drive review ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 16 February 2011 09:59

This is the new Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Merc’s hotrod version of its ‘four-door coupe’. Think of its as a sleeker, more stylish version of the E63 AMG, only that this new Mercedes CLS63 doesn’t utilise its siblings naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8, but AMG’s latest direct-injection, twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8. brightcove.createExperiences(); Can the new forced-induction engine match the aural delights of the ...

Infiniti M37S (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 09 September 2010 15:30

This is the Infiniti M37, and it's Infiniti’s answer to the BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class. And after we briefly tested the M35 Hybrid version in Japan, this is our first chance to try the new Infiniti M on UK roads. So the Infiniti M37 is now here in the UK, but was it by any chance designed primarily for ...

Audi S5 Sportback (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 31 August 2010 10:00

Audi’s massive model expansion continues apace, and while Ingolstadt is busy offering up a plethora of new shapes and sizes (A7 Sportback, Q3) it’s also busy enhancing its existing models. The Audi A5 Sportback seemed a little odd when it was introduced in 2009, but it’s best to think of it as an exciting version of the A4 saloon. And ...
