Nissan Leaf EV (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 08 February 2012 14:00

Nissan Leaf vs VW e-Up – 8 February 2012  Nissan might have been first to launch a mass-produced electric vehicle (it’s my Leaf, if you’re wondering) but the almighty Volkswagen Group is readying its own EVs. In 2013 electric versions of the Golf and Up will go on sale, and I tested a prototype of the latter in Germany last week; the ...

Mini Countryman Cooper D All4 (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 15 December 2011 11:05

Goodbye - 15 December 2011 The Countryman is gone but not forgotten and, whilst I’m not left pining for the little rhino, I may have developed something of a softspot for it. I’m left with mainly memories of the positive attributes of this strange mutant Mini. The interior was always a delight, with the cream leather and headlining making the ...

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

Rated 2 out of 52

Talking Italian - 25 October 2011 It’s only three little words, but they mean so much.

That’s petrol, water and revs, if you haven’t worked it out already. Get in a German, French and Japanese car and any ...

Caterham Seven Superlight 150 long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 28 April 2009 09:00

Long-term test update - 28 April 2009 Bike versus car you say? CAR's Caterham Seven versus a Yamaha R6? The difference is huge, even with a car as extreme and stripped-down as the Caterham. That gulf is down to feel. On the edge, on cool, wet roads, riding the bike is about treading the fine line between slip and grip. ...

Land Rover Defender 110XS long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 01 July 2008 10:00

Long-term test goodbye - 1 July 2008 This test was all about finding out if the new, updated Defender could cut it as a genuine family 4x4, and take on the new breed of 7-seater SUVs. On paper it’s got everything – great styling (ok, not exactly styling, but does anyone NOT think this is a handsome car?); it’s got three rows ...
