Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

Rated 2 out of 52

the CAR road test team, 23 May 2013 09:00

Month 3 running a Ford Focus ST: should the ST have four-wheel drive? Interesting one, , this: Ford won’t sell you the punchiest diesel Kuga SUV in front-wheel-drive guise, instead ensuring that its 251lb ft of torque flows through all four tyres. But our Focus ST channels 265lb ft through the front wheels alone, with none of the trick limited-slip ...

Aston Martin DB9 (2013) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

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

Range Rover Evoque (2012) long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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

Audi RS4 Avant (2013) long-term rest review

Rated 4 out of 54

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

Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

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

Honda Civic 1.8 i-VTEC (2013) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

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

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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? ...
