Jaguar XF Sportbrake Diesel S (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 17 May 2013 13:00

So, here it is then, the upcoming addition to the CAR longterm fleet: ‘my’ Jaguar XF Sportbrake. You can’t get a Sportbrake in the petrol flavours offered in the saloon; instead you’ll choose from a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel in either 161bhp/295lb ft or 197bhp/295lb ft guises, or a 3.0 TD V6 with either 237bhp/368lb ft or 271bhp/442lb ft. The Sportbrake ...

Aston Martin DB9 (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 29 April 2013 15:00

Has there ever been a more poignant year in which to run a long-term Aston Martin? The world’s coolest car company celebrates its 100th birthday this year, so can the DB9 – Aston’s oldest model – still cut it in 2013? We’ve got the next few months to find out… It’s not the same DB9 that Aston launched in late ...

Lexus GS450h (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road-test team, 29 April 2013 10:00

Month 3 running a Lexus GS450h - gripes with the over-complicated infotainment I worry that I'm getting stupider, or that I’m just not bright enough to own a Lexus GS450h in the first place. For me, sitting in the driver’s seat with the manual open, the ignition on and a free hour is one of the joys of getting a new ...

Mazda CX-5 2.2D Sport (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 22 April 2013 09:00

Month 4 running a Mazda CX-5: our CX-5's build quality impresses Ask my wife’s 86-year-old grandfather, who suffers from failing eyesight, about what he misses most and he says it’s driving. Growing up in Cyprus he would rattle around in tractors and Austin Sevens when he was still in short trousers. After moving his family to England in the 1960s, he owned ...

Honda Civic 1.8 i-VTEC (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 17 April 2013 07:00

Month 5 running a honda Civic i-VTEC - storage issues in the CAR fleet Civic Finally more or less inured to the endless litany of ‘crashed dirigible on the roof’ jokes, I’d thought it sensible to leave the top box in place for our remaining Civic tenure. Not, however, sensible at all it transpires… ‘How,’ demanded the missus the other ...

BMW 330d Touring (2013) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 08 April 2013 08:00

Month 1 running a BMW 330d Touring: time to discover if the new 330d is 'all the car you'll ever need' Having declared the latest 3-series Touring the best car in the real world after our first drive last year, we knew we needed to add one to the CAR fleet. For a £1400 premium you enjoy all the brilliance of ...

Peugeot 208 Allure 1.2 VTi (2012) long-term test

3.5

the CAR road test team, 04 April 2013 10:00

Month 4 running a Peugeot 208 - bemoaning the 208's well below-par gearbox I'm no expert, but if you’re building a 200mph supercar I presume you test it at high speed so the bodywork doesn’t disintegrate like Wile E Coyote’s Acme-powered, Road Runner-chasing rocket. And if you’re developing a supermini for city life, then you’d evaluate it in stop/start traffic, right? ...

Volvo V40 D2 SE (2013) long-term test

the CAR road test team, 03 April 2013 09:00

Month 5 running a Volvo V40: testing the V40's practicality to the limit Having a new baby at the end of last year has had quite an impact on family life with the Volvo: going anywhere these days – even a short daytrip – involves lugging a mountain of equipment around, like we’re embarking on a major expedition up the Orinoco ...

Peugeot 508 SW 2.0 HDI (2012) long-term test review

3.5

CAR road test team, 21 March 2013 09:00

Month 12 running a 508 - the final verdict on our time in the 508 SW It's au revoir to the grand voiture this month, and as I watch the collection driver slowly check for damage around the vehicle that has been my personal transport for the last eight months – and silently curse me for leaving it with an ...

Jaguar XF 2.2D (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 18 March 2013 10:00

Month 12 running a Jaguar XF - final thoughts as the Jaguar leaves the CAR fleet I didn't design this car to save the company,’ Jaguar designer Ian Callum told CAR in October 2007. ‘But if it works, it will,’ we added. At that moment Jaguar was in trouble, and for sale. Investment firms were circling, sales had slumped, and the ...
