Alfa Romeo Giulietta Cloverleaf (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 25 October 2011 09:30

Talking Italian - 25 October 2011 It’s only three little words, but they mean so much. Don’t worry, I’ve not been reading Barbara Cartland (again) – it’s the words ‘Benzina’, ‘Acqua’ and ‘Giri’ on my Giulietta’s instrument binnacles. That’s petrol, water and revs, if you haven’t worked it out already. Get in a German, French and Japanese car and any ...

Audi A8 4.2 TDI (2010) long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 15 May 2011 10:00

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 ...

Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI SE (2010) long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 09 May 2011 10:31

Farewell to our Skoda Yeti - 9 May 2011 Our Skoda Yeti went back a short while ago, so we've had ample time to reflect on its time with us. In short, we're all sorry to see it go. Skoda has been on a roll for a while and the Yeti represents the best of new Skoda: a bold product ...

Nissan 370Z Roadster (2010) long-term test

2.5

Phil McNamara, 14 October 2010 09:08

Why the 370Z needs to be driven hard – 14 October 2010 With 326bhp available under your right plimsoll, the Z roadster is hardly a car for the meek and mild. But if you were ever in any doubt, the short throw, notchy gearbox screams at you to treat it keenly. After five minutes driving it, the Roadster made a ...

Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 13 August 2010 09:38

Long-term update - 13 August 2010 If you’ve been reading the magazine updates, you’ll know that we’ve had a few electrical problems with the Range Sport: going in to limp home mode, telling me the gearbox was broken, electric windows going a bit haywire to name but a few. It turned out that Land Rover had issued a recall to fix various ...

Toyota Prius long-term test review (2010)

2.5

the CAR road test team, 23 July 2010 08:58

Long-term test update – 23 July 2010 Breaking news: just filled the Prius after my best-possible-behaviour tankful of obeying all speed limits and using minimal throttle openings during a mix of mainly motorway and rural A-road driving, with a smattering of urban pottering. Result? 56.34mpg. Somewhat better than my normal low 40s mpg, still someway off the claimed 70mpg. I also got ...

VW Scirocco 2.0 TSI (2010) CAR long-term test

2.5

The CAR team, 10 May 2010 09:54

Long-term test review - 10 May 2010 Had the editor’s VW Scirocco at the weekend and came away mightily impressed. It’s not a car I would buy – space is at a premium and that kiwi fruit green paint job and black wheels are too look-at-me – but if I were in the market for a two-door coupe, the Scirocco ...

BMW 730d long-term test review

2.5

Greg Fountain, 29 December 2009 21:03

Long-term test update – 29 December 2009 If you look it up, you’ll see the retail price for our long-wheelbase long-term BMW 730d is £56,790 – amazingly good value for such a superior car. The price list doesn’t exactly lie, but it’s not the whole truth either, as we found when we came to spec the car with ‘essential’ extras. Dynamic ...

VW Golf long-term test review

2.5

Andrew Franklin, 21 December 2009 11:47

Long term update - 29 December 2008 We get a lot of readers asking what cars we own ourselves and although I'm lucky that even being just the Art director I get a good chance to drive lots of cars. But I live in the real world and actually do own a vehicle. Its a VW golf 1.9 td (1998), oh and ...

Toyota Avensis 2.2 D4-D Tourer long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 04 June 2009 10:41

Long-term test update – 4 June 2009 It’s not meant to be ironic, but I suppose it is: a picture of the Toyota Avensis, lined up on the grid at Goodwood with the other Wacky Racers, from the feature in the latest July 2009 issue of CAR Magazine. Can you imagine a less *wacky* car to drive to a photoshoot ...
