Aston Martin DBS Volante (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 26 September 2009 12:30

Can you have a supercar too far? Not according to Aston Martin. The good folk of Gaydon aren't afraid to fill each and every niche with sports and supercars of every persuasion and nuance. They'll do you a V8 in open or closed form, oriented to comfort or slinging around the Nurburgring. They'll even do a V8 with a V12, ...

BMW 740d (2009): new CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 17 July 2009 14:09

We’ve just returned from a day of hurling BMW’s new twin-turbo 740d around the Scottish Highlands, and also found the time for a test of the revised 730d as well as chatting to some of the company’s high-up engineers. An early start and a late finish, but everything in between was very good. Tell me about this new BMW 740d ...

Mercedes-Benz F600 (2008) fuel-cell concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 26 June 2008 09:00

Mercedes has been running a test fleet of fuel cell A-classes since 2002, and it’s preparing for small-scale production of a fuel cell B-class in 2010. To get an idea of what the fuel-cell B-class will be like, CAR has spent some time on the road with the curiously-named F600 HyGenius fuel cell concept, first seen at the Tokyo show ...

Honda Accord Tourer 2.2 i-DTEC EX GT (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 15 April 2008 18:21

Form versus function: it’s a perennial design battle and sums up the difference between the outgoing Honda Accord Tourer and the new – eighthgeneration – model launching in September 2008. The old version was one of the most practical and innovative load carriers on the market, but frankly a little dull to look at. The new design is a more ...

Audi A3 Cabriolet 2.0T Sport (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 19 February 2008 11:21

The A3 has been with us since 1996, while the second-generation model arrived back in 2003. Yet this is the first time a cabriolet has been offered, and it’s incredibly late in the model cycle. The official line is that Ingolstadt has been struggling to meet demand – it produced 231,000 A3s in 2007 alone – but that the bottleneck ...

Lotus Elise SC (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 10 January 2008 11:02

We’ve been subjected to some rather tenuous special edition Elises in the past, but this is a bit different. The fastest, most powerful production version of Lotus’s baby sports car yet, it’s essentially an Elise R (formerly the 111R, now renamed) fitted with a supercharger to provide an extra 28bhp. So it’s got the engine from the Exige S? If ...

VW Transporter 2.5 TDI Sportline (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 02 January 2008 14:40

Always had a sneaking admiration for the A team? Need to carry loads of clutter? Then you need Volkswagen’s latest Transporter, dolled up with the mean ‘n’ broody Sportline specification and one of the most powerful diesel engines in all vandom. The result is a quick and versatile jack of all trades – it’ll lug the kitchen sink by day ...

Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 JTD Ti (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 26 December 2007 22:21

The Ti badge is back. Short for Turismo Internazionale, it’s name that’s been used on some of Alfas famous sporting models in the past and now it’s landed on a new version of Alfa’s 159 sports saloon as Alfa takes another swipe at the big German brands dominating the compact executive market. So where does the Ti slot into the ...

Jaguar XF SV8 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 14 December 2007 00:00

Today we reveal our first driving impressions of Jaguar’s replacement for the S-type and its answer to BMW’s big selling 5-series. Roomier, better built and better equipped than before it also showcases a new design language for Jaguar’s saloons. And click here to see the Jaguar XF in action with CAR road test editor Chris Chilton behind the wheel. So Jaguar finally ...

Infiniti G37 S Coupe (2007) (European drive) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 11 December 2007 16:07

Who are they trying to kid? Will Europeans really consider a premium car built by Nissan? Infiniti arrives in Europe in 2008 and we’re first to drive the new G37 Coupe to find out if it cuts the mustard. CAR flew to Switzerland to Infiniti’s new Euro HQ to test the Japanese answer to the 3-series Coupe. This is the ...
