Lotus Evora S 2+2 (2012) long-term test review

Lotus Evora S 2+2 (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 17 May 2012 12:00

The key to unlocking our Lotus Evora S – 17 May 2012 As you’ll read about in the new June 2012 issue (out now) the entire CAR team recently decamped to north Wales for a few days of thrashing each others long-termers around secluded Snowdonian roads. We drove, we ate, we drank, the cars drank (Anthony’s RS3 more than most) and Greg Fountain ...

Audi RS3 Sportback (2012) long-term test review

Audi RS3 Sportback (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 11 May 2012 10:30

Taking over and overtaking in the RS3 - 11 May 2012  As Anthony ffrench-Constant will soon be performing certain Civic duties, the CAR office has commandeered his RS3 Sportback for a couple of months before it returns to the Audi Mothership. And as I climbed into it a few weeks ago, I thought ‘here we go again’… The RS3 is embarrassing ...

  Audi's MMI system: does the A1's jukebox work? 10 May 2012 I love my music and when I found that the A1 could store music in its own jukebox, I was excited. This pleasure soon turned to doubt and then complete confusion. For those of you who did opt for the Audi MMI system I would love to hear feedback. Despite reading the manual, ...

BMW M5 (2012) long-term test review

BMW M5 (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 08 May 2012 16:01

Steel brakes clogging up on our M5 - 8 May 2012 Had a quick peek at the M5’s cross-drilled brake discs the other day and noticed they were clogged with carbon deposits. Every hole on the front discs is full, while the rear discs are slowly filling up. I actually ended up inspecting them after feeling that the brakes weren’t ...

Range Rover Evoque (2012) long-term test review

Range Rover Evoque (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 27 April 2012 09:50

Musings on the Evoque’s chassis on a London dash – 27 April 2011 I turned yesterday’s 75-minute commute into a three-and-a-half hour odyssey, by taking the Evoque into London on a CAR-related errand. Our mission was to drop off numerous back issues at a photographer’s studio, standing in the shadows of Arsenal’s Emirates stadium. The capital is the fashionable Evoque’s ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) long-term test review

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 22 March 2012 13:01

Starring on the small screen: our 1M video - 23 March 2012 Before Jethro Bovingdon departed the CAR offices, he recorded a lovely film about our long-term test BMW 1-series M Coupe. In all the to-ing and fro-ing of him leaving, we never got round to showing his video review of our favourite small long-termer on the fleet. Watch this ...

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

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. 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 ...

Mercedes E63 AMG Estate (2011) long-term test review

Mercedes E63 AMG Estate (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 04 October 2011 10:00

Goodbye to our E63 Estate  – 4 October 2011 So, it’s all over; the best, most complete, most satisfying car I’ve ever owned is returning to Mercedes. I’ve loved the look, the comfort, the performance, the practicality, the lairy chassis, the main dealer aftersales service. There’s only been one niggle: I’ve not always been convinced by the gearbox’s Comfort and Sport modes, ...

BMW M3 (E36) long-term test review

BMW M3 (E36) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 15 August 2011 09:30

The end of the M3? – 15 August 2011 As you’ll probably guess from the pics, the race didn’t go so well – my M3 came home from the Team Trophy at Donington yesterday on a breakdown truck. In fact, I didn’t even race – I just managed to scrape through the qualifying session before it all went wrong. Shame, because I ...

Renault Wind 1.6 Dynamique (2011) long-term test review

Renault Wind 1.6 Dynamique (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Sarah-Jayne Harrison, 29 July 2011 13:00

Time to say goodbye The Wind blew in on the 28 December 2010 and has just recently blown away again. It was a long visit, which turned out to be a good thing as a convertible arriving in December is not the best time of year to fully test it's main selling point, however the Wind was still with us ...
