Toyota RAV4 2.2 D-4D (2013) CAR review

Ollie Kew, 25 March 2013 13:15

This is the fourth-generation RAV4, or to give our test car its full title, the Toyota RAV4 Invincible 2.2 D-4D. Let’s pick that mouthful of a moniker apart and find out if the new RAV4 can cut it against the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V in the school-run soft-roader class. Invincible? That’s quite a claim for the new RAV4… Toyota ...

Mercedes CLA220 CDI (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 06 March 2013 17:00

This is the Mercedes CLA, a new niche model from Stuttgart that aims to offer the style of the CLS 'four-door coupe' at a price that slots in below the C-class. You’ll pay from £23k for the entry-level CLA180 petrol, £27-28k for the 250 petrol, or £25-26k for the 220 CDI diesel – around £2.5k less than the equivalent C-class ...

Mercedes A250 Sport (2013) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 25 January 2013 09:30

Forget everything you knew about the Mercedes A-class. The new model is totally different in appearance, concept and character, bearing zero resemblance to the original entry-level Mercedes from 1998 that made the elk famous by failing the stability test named after that top-heavy, antler-bearing, Nordic mammal. The third-generation A-class, now on sale in the UK, is no longer gunning for ...

Acura MDX (2012) CAR review

Ben Barry, 17 September 2012 09:30

Think of a seven-seat SUV and the chances are that a Land Rover Discovery or BMW X5 will pop into your head. Not a Honda, though, because Honda doesn’t sell one, not in the UK at least. However, it does in North America, where it offers both the Honda Pilot and the related Acura MDX. We’re testing the Acura in ...

Mazda MX-5 GT (2012) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 21 August 2012 14:00

Talk about stealing the limelight: so much has the focus been on the new Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ twins that just about everyone has forgotten about one key alternative, the Mazda MX-5. Now Mazda UK are hoping to put at stop to all that, with this MX-5 GT concept. A production car would be preferable, surely… Well, hopefully that’s ...

Mazda CX-5 2.2D (2012) UK CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 06 June 2012 11:20

Mazda’s new CX-5 is the company’s first sixth generation vehicle and its importance in the UK cannot be overestimated. Not only does the compact crossover usher in the Japanese firm’s new Kodo design language - Soul of Motion is its snappy catchphrase – but it's also the first in-the-metal iteration of Mazda’s groundbreaking suite of fuel-saving Skyactiv technologies. It’s available ...

VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

3.5

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 ...

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

3.5

Chris Chilton, 21 May 2012 12:55

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 ...

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 16 January 2012 10:19

The new Subaru XV is a curious thing. Despite the styling iniquities visited on the likes of the once-wholesome Forester and Impreza of late, there is still a tremendous groundswell of goodwill towards Subaru out there. Which makes it all the more difficult to fathom why, far from trying to rekindle the interest of its core customer base by vigorously ...

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 28 October 2011 10:55

On 20 May 2011, CAR was allowed behind the wheel of a Toyota FT-86 development mule to get our own driving impressions and to give feedback to Toyota’s engineers during a secretive test session in Germany. Now, as the car is about to be unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo motor show - badged GT86 - it’s time to reveal all. This was ...
