Nissan Leaf EV (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 08 February 2012 14:00

Nissan Leaf vs VW e-Up – 8 February 2012 Nissan might have been first to launch a mass-produced electric vehicle (it’s my Leaf, if you’re wondering) but the almighty Volkswagen Group is readying its own EVs. In 2013 electric versions of the Golf and Up will go on sale, and I tested a prototype of the latter in Germany last week; the ...

Mini Countryman Cooper D All4 (2011) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 15 December 2011 11:05

Goodbye - 15 December 2011 The Countryman is gone but not forgotten and, whilst I’m not left pining for the little rhino, I may have developed something of a softspot for it. I’m left with mainly memories of the positive attributes of this strange mutant Mini. The interior was always a delight, with the cream leather and headlining making the ...

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 ...

Caterham Seven Superlight 150 long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 28 April 2009 09:00

Long-term test update - 28 April 2009 Bike versus car you say? CAR's Caterham Seven versus a Yamaha R6? The difference is huge, even with a car as extreme and stripped-down as the Caterham. That gulf is down to feel. On the edge, on cool, wet roads, riding the bike is about treading the fine line between slip and grip. ...

Land Rover Defender 110XS long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 01 July 2008 10:00

Long-term test goodbye - 1 July 2008 This test was all about finding out if the new, updated Defender could cut it as a genuine family 4x4, and take on the new breed of 7-seater SUVs. On paper it’s got everything – great styling (ok, not exactly styling, but does anyone NOT think this is a handsome car?); it’s got three rows ...

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

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

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 ...

VW Transporter 2.5 TDI Sportline (2008) CAR review

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

3.5

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 ...

Jeep Cherokee Limited 2.8D (2007) CAR review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 04 December 2007 14:15

What, another new Jeep? Yup. Sitting alongside Wrangler, Patriot, Compass, Grand Cherokee and Commander there’s now the all-new Cherokee. It fits into the range between Patriot/Compass and Grand Cherokee and is built on a two-inch shorter version of the base that underpins the Dodge Nitro… but don’t let that put you off. Jeep is targeting Land Rover Freelander buyers with ...
