Citroën C6 3.0 HDI Exclusive (2010) CAR review

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 ...

BMW 530d SE Gran Turismo (2010) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 08 March 2010 17:28

Long-term test update: 8 March 2010And so to our first taste of the new 2010 BMW 5-series. Munich's launched a niche version first in the strange shape of this, the 5-series Gran Turismo. The GT is a new addition to the 5-series range, adding a Skoda Superb-alike twin tailgate that lifts like a saloon boot or a tailgate hatchback depending ...

Ford S-Max 2.0 SCTi EcoBoost (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 08 March 2010 09:11

Ford’s S-Max MPV still seems a spring chicken, but it has in fact been on sale since 2006. Hence the 2010 facelifted S-Max you see here, ushering in a range of cosmetic tweaks (minor) and engineering upgrades (rather more significant). We’ve tested the all-new model, premiering Ford’s new global EcoBoost engines. Announced at the 2009 Detroit auto show, EcoBoost has ...

Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6D (2010) CAR review

Gavin Green, 26 February 2010 00:01

brightcove.createExperiences(); We have to look back to the early Bangle BMWs, or to Tom Ford’s extravagant efforts at Gucci, to see a similar shake-up of a company’s design DNA. Out goes the carriage-clock Jag; in comes the brave XF of 2008 and, even more, this bold new XJ, Maserati Quattroporte emotion meets Bentley grandeur, rakish coupe lines meets four-door luxury ...

Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen (2010) CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 19 February 2010 10:00

It’s taken three generations, but Nissan’s funky Cube has finally made it Europe through official channels. But is it a case of style over substance? Hmm, this latest Nissan Cube looks slightly less, well, square. Yes, some of the earlier car’s styling edge has gone, in both senses, but it’s still a striking looking car and stands out a mile ...

Audi A8 4.2 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 18 February 2010 09:00

I didn’t realise Audi was doing a long-wheelbase A4. Is there no niche left unexplored? A4? This is the new 2010 Audi A8, Ingolstadt’s technological flagship, a limo built around a supercar-style aluminium spaceframe and boasting the sort of toys that would make Inspector Gadget envious (and owners thankful that Lucas doesn’t do Audi’s electrics). But it’s an easy mistake ...

VW Golf R (2010) first drive CAR review

Chris Chilton, 15 February 2010 09:41

After reinventing the hot hatch as a V6 nearly 20 years ago, Volkswagen has ditched the concept and returned to its four pot roots. But is the new 2010 VW Golf R different enough from a GTi to justify a £30k price? So what was wrong with the old VW Golf R32? Not much, at least in terms of the ...

Aston Martin Rapide (2010): the CAR review

Jethro Bovingdon, 12 February 2010 09:00

brightcove.createExperiences(); brightcove.createExperiences(); This is Aston Martin being sensible. Well, relatively sensible. The new 2010 Rapide has four doors and four seats. But don’t fear, it still has a 5.9-litre V12 with 470bhp and will carry four occupants to 188mph. It still looks like an Aston, too. We really can’t think of a better looking four-door on the planet. But that ...

Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDI long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 08 February 2010 17:01

Long-term test update – 8 February 2010 We've just had the C3 Picasso serviced, as it's destined to return to Planet Citroën in the coming days. Petrol C3s can stretch their garage visits to 20,000 miles, but our 1.6 HDI diesel slashes that to a rather more modest 12,500 miles.Still, I rang around three local dealers to book the job ...
