VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 05 November 2010 09:12

Volkswagen says the new 2011 Passat takes… Actually, can I just interrupt you there to say the Passat Mk7 isn't new, it’s a bloody facelift. New lights, new grille, Bob ist ihr onkel. Okay, so the new, seventh-gen VW Passat does use the same platform as the 2006 car, but Volkswagen claims that every panel is new. But it manages to look almost ...

Volvo S60 D5 (2010) CAR review

Volvo S60 D5 (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 24 May 2010 12:42

We're just back from driving the new Volvo S60 – we've now had a chance to drive the most popular diesels, the D3 and D5, as well as the range-topping T6 petrol. It's an important car for Volvo, the new S60. Tired of being also-rans with the 850 and S60, the Swedes are now aiming for a much sportier marketplace. ...

BMW 318d (2009) CAR review

BMW 318d (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 03 July 2009 09:21

Okay, so it’s a bit niche, but combining the lower-powered 3-series diesel with the ES trim pack and auto transmission makes for a brisk yet restful saloon. Could it be the perfect choice for motorway-bound user-choosers? Lower-powered diesel. Auto-box. Hmm… No, this is certainly no 335i on the cheap. But look at what you do get under the bonnet. With ...

Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro (2008) CAR review

Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 20 May 2008 10:09

Pick the optimum combo for a compact exec and the Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro might spring to mind: V6 diesel grunt and smoothness, the handling promise of four-wheel drive, suave looks and finish and a tempting equipment level. It costs nearly £30k (more like £42k, optioned-up like the test car) – and there’s stiff competition at that level, ...

Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 JTD Ti (2007) CAR review

Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 JTD Ti (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 26 December 2007 22:21

The Ti badge is back. Short for Turismo Internazionale, it’s name that’s been used on some of Alfas famous sporting models in the past and now it’s landed on a new version of Alfa’s 159 sports saloon as Alfa takes another swipe at the big German brands dominating the compact executive market. So where does the Ti slot into the ...

Renault Laguna Active (2007) Drive CAR review

Renault Laguna Active (2007) Drive CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Richard Aucock, 14 September 2007 10:50

What’s all this then? A Laguna with the agility of a Porsche Boxster. Through a slalom, it will turn in instantly, change direction with comparable speed – but not hint at the dreaded pendulum. Your hands will have steered just one, crisp input, and been met with firm, accurate response. How do we know? Renault laid on the comparison for ...

Mercedes C220 CDI Sport (2007) CAR review

Mercedes C220 CDI Sport (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Peter Burgess, 19 June 2007 10:59

It looks like there’s a major change going on here Certainly is. Gone are the smooth curves of the previous C-class, replaced with something far more edgy and, dare we say it, rather modern. The C-class is bigger all-round and crucially there’s another 45mm in the wheelbase and more shoulder room. That’s hardly a surprise. Passenger space has always been ...

Saab 9-3 1.9 TTiD 180 (2007) CAR review

Saab 9-3 1.9 TTiD 180 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 18 June 2007 03:02

How new is this 'new' 9-3? Saab has made 2157 changes in facelifting its 3-series rival, rendering the 9-3 almost completely distinct from its Vectra platform. Or so says Saab. The nose is the most striking aspect; it’s all-new from the A-pillars forward, and its clamshell bonnet and perma-lit ‘eyebrow’ headlight strips lend it some presence. The side profile has ...

BMW 325d (2006) CAR review

BMW 325d (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 15 November 2006 04:22

Does the world need another 3-series variant? There must be millions of them by now. And what’s so special about this one? This is the 325d and it’s designed to plug the gap between the popular four-pot 320d (163bhp/250lb ft) and six-cylinder 330d (231bhp/368lb ft), itself now supplanted at the top of the diesel tree by the 286bhp/427lb ft 335d. ...
