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 ...

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 ...

the CAR road test team, 25 September 2008 12:00

Long-term test goodbye, 20 October 2008. Twelve months ago RO57 JJV turned up looking like it had arrived from another planet. Three-door Civics were (and still are) a rare sight, and matched to a lustrous ‘Milano’ red paint our Type-R attracted attention like no other hot-hatch. However, judging from the comments below, not all have fallen for the Civic’s styling like us… After ...

Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 19 May 2008 11:00

Long-term test update - 19 May 2008 Got an email from Andreas Loizias in Cyprus recently. He couldn’t believe the GT cost just £1500 less than the Golf GTI in Britain. In Cyprus the difference is nearer to £7k, apparently. My biggest stumbling block with the GT is just how closely aligned its price is to the GTI's. Imagine if ...
