Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 30 March 2011 10:00

Proof positive that downsizing is a serious trend: even sports car manufacturers are building superminis. Fiat’s Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is soon to be joined by the Aston Martin Cygnet and – perhaps – the Lotus supermini, not to mention numerous expensively tweaked John Cooper Works versions of BMW’s Mini. Small cars have never been posher, faster or pricier. We’re ...

Land Rover Freelander eD4 148bhp 2wd (2011) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 09 February 2011 09:28

It’s a crazy world when Land Rover starts selling front-wheel drive cars and, at the other extreme, Ferrari launches a four-wheel drive estate. But these are challenging times for the motor industry. In the past decade Land Rover has been embroiled in more sustained political lobbying than today’s public enemy number one, the banking sector. So it should come as ...

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

2.5

Tim Pollard, 06 January 2011 12:02

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

Nissan Murano 2.5 D (2010) new CAR review

Tim Pollard, 15 July 2010 13:44

Nissan's Murano lives in a bit of a time warp; it's only just got its first diesel engine. Yep, you read that right. This full-ish sized premium SUV has been operating in just 0.6% of the derv-crazy crossover segment with a spanking great big 3.5-litre petrol-slurper.Now the new 2.5-litre diesel has arrived, it's suddenly opened up 86% of the segment, ...

Citroën C6 3.0 HDI Exclusive (2010) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 11 March 2010 11:03

The Citroën C6 has always intrigued us at CAR. We're the sort to see merit in unusual choices and in the C6 we see character in spades. You have to look past numerous shortcomings – and there are plenty – but its very idiosyncrasy, the sense of other, is what makes it stand out in our view.Not many Brits are ...

Volvo C30 BEV electric car (2009) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 24 September 2009 11:20

We've just driven Volvo's first electric car – the C30 BEV. It's a prototype for a battery C30, and shows what you can expect on sale by 2014. Volvo calls it a rolling laboratory but for an early mule, it's impressively well finished. All four seats are present and you climb in to face a very normal looking C30. That ...

Jaguar XF 3.0 Diesel S (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 11 March 2009 00:01

Is Jaguar at a stroke about to answer our biggest criticisms of the XF executive saloon? Now the dust has settled after the epoch-bending new four-door replaced the stuffy S-type in 2008, we've grown used to seeing the wedgy new Jag on our roads and had time to assimilate the XF's place in execville.CAR Magazine didn't swallow the PR spin ...

Porsche Cayenne 3.6 V6 (2007) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 27 January 2007 01:33

New Porsche Cayenne: the lowdown Love it or loathe it, the Cayenne has done wonders for Porsche's profitability. Purists can argue all day long that it diluted the brand DNA with all those common VW 4x4 genes - but there's no questioning its commercial success. Now, four years after launch, it's time for a mid-life nip 'n' tuck. Porsche has ...
