Aston Martin DB9 (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 29 April 2013 15:00

Has there ever been a more poignant year in which to run a long-term Aston Martin? The world’s coolest car company celebrates its 100th birthday this year, so can the DB9 – Aston’s oldest model – still cut it in 2013? We’ve got the next few months to find out… It’s not the same DB9 that Aston launched in late ...

Range Rover Evoque (2012) long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 26 April 2013 09:30

Month 10 running a Range Rover Evaoue: thoughts on the Evoque's cabin What’s the inside story on the Evoque? Plump for the coupe, and you pay £1000 more than for the five-door and get two fewer doors. If you need frequent access to the rear, the glacial motorised slide of the front seats could drive you potty, and squeezing through ...

Audi RS4 Avant (2013) long-term rest review

the CAR road test team, 26 April 2013 09:10

Month 1 running an Audi RS4 Avant - the RS4 begins its stint at CAR It's probably worth dealing with the question of ride quality before we go any further. Much has been written about the unforgiving nature of the RS4’s chassis, and some of that was no doubt fuelled by the angst of a certain Mr J Clarkson, who told ...

Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 22 April 2013 07:00

Month 8 running a Porsche Panamera GTS: shpuld you buy the diesel Panamera instead? The GTS isn’t faultless, but our only real criticism is its 22mpg thirst. No such trouble with the Panamera Diesel, which won’t dip below 30mpg even when thrashed, will top 40mpg on a cruise, and averages in the mid-to-high 30s – depending on how much thrashing ...

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 ...

Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 15 April 2013 09:00

Month 2 running a Ford Focus ST: considering the steering of our Focus long-termer If thethe test of a true hot hatch is that there’s never a dull moment, then we’re onto something here. Driving the Focus ST in a hurry leaves you feeling breathless like a Star Wars X-wing pilot after a final-reel run-in with the Death Star. Gotta ...

Peugeot 208 Allure 1.2 VTi (2012) long-term test

3.5

the CAR road test team, 04 April 2013 10:00

Month 4 running a Peugeot 208 - bemoaning the 208's well below-par gearbox I'm no expert, but if you’re building a 200mph supercar I presume you test it at high speed so the bodywork doesn’t disintegrate like Wile E Coyote’s Acme-powered, Road Runner-chasing rocket. And if you’re developing a supermini for city life, then you’d evaluate it in stop/start traffic, right? ...

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

the CAR road test team, 12 February 2013 09:30

Month 9 running a Lotus Evora S: final report and goodbye to the Evora The aftermath of Dany Bahar’s plan to take Lotus back to the big time might, to him, feel like the fuzzy waking moments after an epic night of consumption – ‘There’s a picture of me and Swizz Beatz on Facebook? I should call Bob Lutz about ...

BMW M5 (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 18 January 2013 09:00

Month 11 running a BMW M5: we say farwell to out longterm M5 After 11 months and 16,000 miles – 11,000 of them in CAR’s hands – our M5 has finally departed. It arrived with the spoils of victory from a Jag XFR/Merc CLS 63/Panamera V8 group test and bowed out after a five-week sojourn at the dealer. That, however, ...

Suzuki Swift Sport (2012) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 19 November 2012 10:20

How fuel efficient is CAR's Suzuki Swift Sport? - 19 November 2012 The Swift is piling on the miles – we're now past 6000 on the odo, which means we're not far off the first service. Suzuki sticks with unfashionably short, 9000-mile intervals: good for looking after the engine, bad for the wallet. We'll let you know how we get ...
