Ford FPV Boss 335 GT (2012) CAR review

Ford FPV Boss 335 GT (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 07 May 2012 07:00

Ford’s Australian outpost has built its most powerful car ever: the Ford Performance Vehicles Boss 335 GT. That’s 335 kilowatts, by the way: 450bhp to you and me, from a supercharged five-litre V8 engine shoe-horned into the bodyshell of Ford’s standard, rear-wheel drive Falcon saloon. With a bonnet bulge the size of Uluru and that power output stencilled into its ...

Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

What factors contribute to the size of your typical family? Costs, contraception, the size of the family home, the fear of having an uneven-numbered odd-one-out, divorce? One of my overbearing concerns has always been the limiting effect a larger family would have on my choice of car, both in terms of enjoyment and in purely practical concerns. Selfish, I know. ...

VW California SE 2.0 BiTDi (2010) CAR review

VW California SE 2.0 BiTDi (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 12 August 2010 11:45

Here at CAR we’re big fans of the VW California, having run one on long-term test for 12 months. And now Volkswagen has facelifted the California, grafting on the latest family face, outfitting its interior with the latest multimedia systems, and dropping the Amarok pick-up’s new twin-turbo engine under the bonnet. Think about it for a moment as well and ...

Lexus IS-F saloon long-term test review

Lexus IS-F saloon long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 24 December 2009 10:00

Long-term test goodbye – 24 December 2009 I’m afraid I’ve been a bit lax with the Lex, or at least in telling you about it. The IS-F actually disappeared from the CAR car park in the autumn, since when I’ve been taking things at a somewhat more leisurely pace. After 12 months and 22,000 miles at the wheel of a ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ-400 (2009) CAR review

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ-400 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 05 June 2009 13:00

Read the stats alone – 403bhp, 387lb ft, £50k, 0-62mph in 3.8sec – and it’s easy to dismiss the FQ-400 as being as out-of-step as an MP’s expenses claim. In fact, that’s just what I did – before I drove it. One hour of enthusiastic pedalling later, I was converted – this is the best Evo X. It is quantifiably ...

Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI long-term test review

Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 07 October 2008 09:30

Long-term test report - 7 October 2008.     So my Mercedes C-class has gone – and I will miss it like few other long-term cars. The C320 CDI really got under my skin. Its presence, its power and its ability to elevate any journey to a special event sucker-punched me a week after its arrival and my captivation grew with every passing ...

BMW M3 saloon (2008) CAR review

BMW M3 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 22 April 2008 09:59

The BMW M3 saloon has two more doors, weighs 25kg extra, features blander taillights and, at £49,415, costs £1415 less than its E92 coupe sibling. Anyone with an internet connection can work that out. But, and here’s the key question, does the saloon feel different to drive? A small digression. I owned an M3 saloon once. In fact, for six ...

Mercedes C63 AMG (2007) CAR review

Mercedes C63 AMG (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 27 August 2007 09:57

So this is Merc’s answer to the new BMW M3... Got it. Hot C's have long been part of Mercedes' line-up, but none has had us quite as excited as this, the C63 which as the name suggests, gets the big 6.3-litre V8 from the car right at the top of Merc's range, the CL63. It’s worth pointing out that ...

Mercedes E500 facelift (2006) CAR review

Mercedes E500 facelift (2006) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Whitworth, 21 December 2006 11:00

You’ve used the wrong picture, that’s the old E-class, sort yourselves out! Well, Mercedes calls it the ‘new’ E-class but it’s really a heavily revised version of the model launched four years ago. More than 2000 parts have been upgraded or replaced, the biggest being the new grille, which is bigger and more angular. The front bumper has been tweaked ...
