Alfa Romeo Giulietta Cloverleaf (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 25 October 2011 09:30

Talking Italian - 25 October 2011 It’s only three little words, but they mean so much. Don’t worry, I’ve not been reading Barbara Cartland (again) – it’s the words ‘Benzina’, ‘Acqua’ and ‘Giri’ on my Giulietta’s instrument binnacles. That’s petrol, water and revs, if you haven’t worked it out already. Get in a German, French and Japanese car and any ...

Audi A8 4.2 TDI (2010) long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 15 May 2011 10:00

The definition of agility – 15 July 2011 Phew. Breathless drive last night in our leviathan A8 4.2 TDI leaves me marvelling at the strange mysteries of dynamic scale. I’ll let you into a wee secret: myself and the editor had a slight disagreement the other day about the word ‘agility’. We wanted to get across the fact that the Alfa ...

Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI SE (2010) long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 09 May 2011 10:31

Farewell to our Skoda Yeti - 9 May 2011 Our Skoda Yeti went back a short while ago, so we've had ample time to reflect on its time with us. In short, we're all sorry to see it go. Skoda has been on a roll for a while and the Yeti represents the best of new Skoda: a bold product ...

Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 13 August 2010 09:38

Long-term update - 13 August 2010 If you’ve been reading the magazine updates, you’ll know that we’ve had a few electrical problems with the Range Sport: going in to limp home mode, telling me the gearbox was broken, electric windows going a bit haywire to name but a few. It turned out that Land Rover had issued a recall to fix various ...

Toyota Prius long-term test review (2010)

2.5

the CAR road test team, 23 July 2010 08:58

Long-term test update – 23 July 2010 Breaking news: just filled the Prius after my best-possible-behaviour tankful of obeying all speed limits and using minimal throttle openings during a mix of mainly motorway and rural A-road driving, with a smattering of urban pottering. Result? 56.34mpg. Somewhat better than my normal low 40s mpg, still someway off the claimed 70mpg. I also got ...

Toyota Avensis 2.2 D4-D Tourer long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 04 June 2009 10:41

Long-term test update – 4 June 2009 It’s not meant to be ironic, but I suppose it is: a picture of the Toyota Avensis, lined up on the grid at Goodwood with the other Wacky Racers, from the feature in the latest July 2009 issue of CAR Magazine. Can you imagine a less *wacky* car to drive to a photoshoot ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 14 May 2009 15:07

Long-term test update - 14 May 2009 Much of the pleasure taken from life with our long-term Ford Kuga has centred around its chassis and its steering. Both owe more to the brilliant Focus than Andrew Ridgeley owes to George Michael (ie, everything), and together they achieve the remarkable feat of making an SUV handle like a real car. Other SUVs ...

Volvo XC60 D5 long-term test CAR review

the CAR road test team, 05 May 2009 15:00

Long-term update – 5 May 2009 After I came back from university, fully educated but with little more than beans in my wallet, I spent several months sleeping in the garret at the top of my parents’ house. It was so small, there wasn’t enough room to swing a hamster around it. It had a bed (single), hi-fi (compact) and ...

Audi TT 2.0 TDI long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 25 March 2009 09:00

Long-term update – 25 March 2009 Had a very interesting discussion with my wife yesterday about the TT. What surprised me was her opinion on the diesel engine. Having tooled around in the TT for a while, she has no doubt that if it was her money she was spending she would go for the TT diesel every time – ...

Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 19 May 2008 11:00

Long-term test update - 19 May 2008 Got an email from Andreas Loizias in Cyprus recently. He couldn’t believe the GT cost just £1500 less than the Golf GTI in Britain. In Cyprus the difference is nearer to £7k, apparently. My biggest stumbling block with the GT is just how closely aligned its price is to the GTI's. Imagine if ...
