Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 23 May 2012 16:40

It’s amazing how your views on things can change once you actually give something a go. I’ve got to admit I read the Sportage blurb with some cynicism before it arrived, particularly the Sport bit. OK, the looks are ‘sporty’ enough but when I got to the bit about the high sheet metal glass ratio giving the feeling of sitting ...

Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 TDI (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 22 May 2012 09:22

Is our VW Touareg 3.0 TDI good value? 22 May 2012 In another life, Rory Lumsden, VW’s PR manager was a magazine sub editor tasked with polishing my road test words when we both worked at Autocar. Seems like old habits die hard, because after I’d mentioned the price difference between my V6 Touareg and our European ed, Georg Kacher’s, ...

Mini Coupe Cooper SD (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 16 May 2012 12:50

We switch our Mini Coupe off its run-flats on to ‘normal’ tyres. Does it improve the ride? - 16 May 2012 Everyone that has been a passenger in the Mini has quickly commented on how hard and unyielding the ride is. Yes, I know the Coupe is pitched as the sportiest model in the Mini range after the hotshoe GP, ...

Jaguar XF 2.2D (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 14 May 2012 11:12

The key to a comfy saloon - 14 May 2012 Audi, BMW and Mercedes. These are the names that the government-approved Road Test Computer throws out when you key it to search for Jaguar XF rivals. Fair enough. The computer works on the basis of set criteria, among them size, body shape, price, performance etc. But, when the CAR long-termer ...

Audi RS3 Sportback (2012) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 11 May 2012 10:30

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 ...

Range Rover Evoque (2012) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 27 April 2012 09:50

Musings on the Evoque’s chassis on a London dash – 27 April 2011 I turned yesterday’s 75-minute commute into a three-and-a-half hour odyssey, by taking the Evoque into London on a CAR-related errand. Our mission was to drop off numerous back issues at a photographer’s studio, standing in the shadows of Arsenal’s Emirates stadium. The capital is the fashionable Evoque’s ...

Hyundai i40 Tourer 1.7 CRDi (2012) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 13 April 2012 14:13

Enjoying the 500-mile range of the i40 - 13 April 2012 It's all in the mind of course, but there is something satisfying about a range of over 500 miles. Makes you feel like you're getting value for money. It's all in the mind because in order to see that figure on the trip, you've got to brim the Hyundai's ...

Skoda Superb Greenline Estate (2012) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 23 March 2012 15:30

In search for a second-hand Skoda Superb - 23 March 2012 With the end of my time with the Skoda Superb estate fast approaching, I find myself contemplating the future and getting a little anxious. The thought of life without her and her big booty fills me with dread and fear. And so it is, late at night and after ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 22 March 2012 13:01

Starring on the small screen: our 1M video - 23 March 2012 Before Jethro Bovingdon departed the CAR offices, he recorded a lovely film about our long-term test BMW 1-series M Coupe. In all the to-ing and fro-ing of him leaving, we never got round to showing his video review of our favourite small long-termer on the fleet. Watch this ...

Saab 9-5 2.0 TTiD Aero (2011) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 20 March 2012 12:01

The final good-bye - 20 March 2012 Finally, after a delay of nearly three months, Saab’s administrators turn up to reclaim our long-term test car This is the last will and testament of Saab 9-5, registration OV11 EKR. I’ve written about this car more than any long-term test car I’ve ever driven, and it’s probable that all of us – ...
