VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 24 May 2012 16:41

‘JESUS CHRIST… WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING?’ yelled the missus as we gleefully fled the gloriously under-briefed baby sitter the other evening… Mea culpa; the last time I drove the VW Golf GTI 35 was in hot pursuit of Ben P on our performance hatch group test in northern Welsh Wales and, momentarily undeterred by the olfactory tsunami ...

Nissan GT-R Track Pack (2012) CAR review

Nissan GT-R Track Pack (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 24 May 2012 08:59

This is the Nissan GT-R Track Pack, a stripped-down, pumped-up Japanese coupe with designs on the 911 GT3. A GT-R GT3? Isn’t what the Spec V was all about. The GT-R Spec V was certainly the hardcore GT-R, but it was also obscenely expensive – double the price of the standard car. The Track Pack only costs around £10k extra but still ...

Mercedes G63 AMG (2012) CAR review

Mercedes G63 AMG (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

AMG has dropped its new bi-turbo V8 into the boxy old G-class to transform the G55 into the even more powerful G63 AMG. It’s certainly rapid, but don’t cancel that Cayenne Turbo order just yet More power for the 2012 Mercedes G63 AMG... I’m pretty sure that probably wouldn’t be high on the to-do list of anybody who’s ever driven ...

Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Audi A3 1.8 TFSi S-Line (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Audi’s first new A3 for nine years is also our first glimpse at the new MQB platform, the building block of every major transverse-engined car in the VW empire for the next few years. It’s been nine years since the last A3 was released. We’ve had two new Golfs in that time. Why the delay? Well Audi has been a ...

Toyota GT-86 (2012) CAR review: a second opinion

Toyota GT-86 (2012) CAR review: a second opinion

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 18 May 2012 09:20

So absolutely has the company hung its hat on the environmentally-conscientious peg of hybrid drive technology of late that, until the arrival of this new 2+2, the fastest accelerating production Toyota was… Ta-daaah! The Land Cruiser V8. Mercifully, and not before time, the new 2012 Toyota GT86 changes all that. But only just… Because, drawing on a long heritage of ...

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

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 ...

Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) CAR review

Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 11 May 2012 09:31

The Porsche Panamera GTS makes all the right noises, feels almost as fast as a Panamera Turbo and is kitted out accordingly. If your budget does not stretch to the Turbo S, this is the Panamera to have. But beware - there is major facelift coming in spring 2013. Porsche Panamera GTS: the background Like the Mk1 Cayenne, the Panamera ...

  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, ...

Mercedes SL63 AMG (2012) CAR review

After a few years on the naturally-aspirated temperance wagon, the AMG-fettled SL V8 is back on the boost, with a downsized twin-turbo engine and all-new aluminium clothes. Read on for CAR Magazine's first drive review of the new 2012 Merc SL63 AMG. So the orginal SL55 was powered by a supercharged 5.5, and the outgoing SL63 by a naturally aspirated ...
