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

the CAR road test team, 03 June 2013 08:00

Month 2 running a BMW 330d: what's the 330d like as a driver's car? Rear-wheel drive, 413lb ft of torque, and a winter boot at each corner. Bliss. After 18 months spent in four-wheel-drive long-termers, I’m rediscovering my inner hooligan. In a diesel estate car. Any doubts I may have had about picking the 330d when I could have been ...

Honda CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC EX (2013) long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road-test team, 05 April 2013 07:00

Month 1 running a Honda CR-V – the new CR-V makes it CAR fleet debut Life is full of surprises and Kia’s Sportage was one of them. I was optimistic about it before it arrived, impressed with the comfort, agility and practicality when it was here and sorry to see it go. The Sportage was always going to be a tough ...

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 ...

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 ...

Jaguar XF 2.7 Diesel long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 05 October 2009 10:01

Long-term test update - 05 October 2009 So the XF has gone back to Jaguar. Sob, sniff. It’s been a great companion over the past eight months and a reminder that our relationship with cars definitely shifts over an extended test. Jump in for a quick road test and you appraise merely the surface dynamics; to dig under the skin and really ...

Audi Allroad 3.0 TDI long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 29 December 2008 09:30

Long term update - 29 December 2008 Yes, it really did fit. Even I was amazed when the Allroad swallowed the 6ft fridge freezer I’d bought second-hand when we moved house recently, saving me the hassle and expense of hiring a van. I wondered if the sloping rear window might cause trouble but all I needed to do was jiggle the front ...

Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI long-term test review

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 ...

Volvo XC70 D5 SE Lux long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 06 May 2008 11:00

Final report - 6 May 2008. Let’s get the (very few) bad bits out the way first. With an 28mpg average, fuel economy was mediocre and no more. And the digital compass in the rearview mirror was too bright at night. Apart from these two problems, my long term Volvo XC70 verged on the genius. There. I’ve said it.I never thought ...
