Audi RS4 Avant (2013) long-term rest review

the CAR road test team, 26 April 2013 09:10

Month 1 running an Audi RS4 Avant - the RS4 begins its stint at CAR It's probably worth dealing with the question of ride quality before we go any further. Much has been written about the unforgiving nature of the RS4’s chassis, and some of that was no doubt fuelled by the angst of a certain Mr J Clarkson, who told ...

Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 22 April 2013 07:00

Month 8 running a Porsche Panamera GTS: shpuld you buy the diesel Panamera instead? The GTS isn’t faultless, but our only real criticism is its 22mpg thirst. No such trouble with the Panamera Diesel, which won’t dip below 30mpg even when thrashed, will top 40mpg on a cruise, and averages in the mid-to-high 30s – depending on how much thrashing ...

Audi A6 Allroad 3.0 BiTDi (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 04 April 2013 09:30

Month 6 running an Audi A6 Allroad - the strange Audi service schedule explained No, I'm not supplementing my income with a bit of funeral directing on the side, the matching colours were simply coinicidence. The mini-me is my girlfriend’s 2004 A4 Avant TDI, pictured here to show the positive side of Audi’s sometimes painfully slow design evolution. Can you think ...

BMW M5 (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 18 January 2013 09:00

Month 11 running a BMW M5: we say farwell to out longterm M5 After 11 months and 16,000 miles – 11,000 of them in CAR’s hands – our M5 has finally departed. It arrived with the spoils of victory from a Jag XFR/Merc CLS 63/Panamera V8 group test and bowed out after a five-week sojourn at the dealer. That, however, ...

Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI SE DSG (2012) long-term test review

4.5

the CAR road test team, 09 August 2012 12:02

The Alhambra's toughest test: converting an MPV-hater - 9 August 2012 My desire to have a family had always been tempered by the fact that people with families are often to be found traipsing around in MPVs, heads bowed under the burden of it all. God they looked miserable in their ugly, ungainly big boxes, I thought. Wouldn’t want to ...

Infiniti M35h hybrid (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 18 July 2012 11:01

Bidding farewell to the Infiniti M35h - 18 July 2012 Even after 14,575 miles, many of them gliding silently on a waft of electric torque, enough Toys to guarantee an R Us appendage and one Guinness World Record, I'm afraid most of the CAR team fail to warm to Infiniti's M35h. Sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting me ...

Audi A1 1.6 TDI S-line (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 12 July 2012 09:51

Audi A1 vs Audi Q3 - 12 July 2012 You only have to rewind ten years or so to a time when hatchbacks were the cool urban solution, and hot hatches were the fashion jewels in that fashionista crown. But, fuel crisis or not, today everyone wants an SUV. Why? As regular readers know, I’m driving Audi’s smallest hatch ...

Help CAR pick its next long-term test cars

4.5

Ben Pulman, 27 October 2011 10:20

We’d like to think CAR runs a pretty good mix of long-term test vehicles. We’ve got everything from a warm hybrid hatch to an Italian hot hatch, via BMW’s latest M car, a supermini to rival the Mini, the best MPV you can buy, an EV, and an intriguing Swedish saloon. But are we missing anything? And what would you ...

BMW M3 (E36) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 15 August 2011 09:30

The end of the M3? – 15 August 2011 As you’ll probably guess from the pics, the race didn’t go so well – my M3 came home from the Team Trophy at Donington yesterday on a breakdown truck. In fact, I didn’t even race – I just managed to scrape through the qualifying session before it all went wrong. Shame, because I ...

BMW 530d SE Gran Turismo (2010) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 13 January 2011 09:49

Long-term test - 13 January 2011 Recap: last month a torque convertor bolt came loose in our 5GT’s gearbox, was ejected at high speed and cracked the sump. Result: our BMW leaked oil across the CAR HQ car park, because (credit the 5GT’s refinement) our colleague behind the wheel didn’t notice anything untoward as he parked up. Meaning the first ...
