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

3.5

the CAR road test team, 09 February 2012 10:00

Spoilt for choice - 8 February 2012 When a bloke who works for a car mag says he’s ‘between long-term test cars’ it’s usually like when an actor says he’s ‘resting’ – ie, nothing doing. But mine is the opposite problem – my Saab hasn’t been collected yet and our Jaguar XF has been passed to me for safekeeping. This ...

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 ...

BMW ActiveHybrid 5 (2012) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 01 February 2012 10:45

This is the new 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5. And if you haven’t guessed already, that means it’s a hybrid version of BMW’s 5-series executive saloon. Essentially it’s an electrified 535i, and rather idiosyncratically the addition of 150kg of extra weight has supposedly improved fuel consumption and emissions by a double-digit percentage. It’s simpler than the defunct twin electric motor BMW X6 ...

Honda CR-Z (2011) long-term test review

Ben Whitworth, 31 January 2012 10:20

Goodbye to our Honda CR-Z – 31 January 2012 The departure of a long-term car is an odd experience. I rarely grow attached to the car as a true owner would, but tend to view them with a rather detached eye as something to be constantly evaluated and judged. The Honda was different. I really gelled with this car during the ...

VW Up GT prototype (2012) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 30 January 2012 09:00

This is the huge Volkswagen Group’s smallest hot hatch, the VW Up GT. First unveiled as a concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show, CAR has just driven a prototype version of the 108bhp baby GTI. Click here for more news and details of the regular Volkswagen Up. How does a VW Up become a VW Up GT? At the moment ...

Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 TDI (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 26 January 2012 10:49

Modern light technology on the Touareg - 26 January 2012 Almost since the birth of the car, we’ve been able to tell one design from another (often very similar one) by the radiator grille, and more recently, air intakes. Fine in daylight, but not much good in these winter months. Modern light technology though, makes it easy for designers to ...

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

3.5

the CAR road test team, 25 January 2012 09:30

The big spec of our even bigger Superb – 25 January 2012 Before launching into amusing anecdotes and wry observations about my new long-term test car, I thought it best to spare a moment to outline exactly what I have sat out on the driveway. The Skoda Superb is the Czech company’s biggest, poshest, most expensive model – and I’ve got the ...

Mercedes B200 Sport (2012) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 24 January 2012 09:36

Coldplay: with their catchy melodies and inoffensive lyrics, those lovely British lads epitomise mainstream rock music. Now I reckon there’ll be a lot of Coldplay-ed in the new 2012 Mercedes B-class. Both are middle-class, family-friendly and rather safe. Apparently, the B-class MPV (or sports tourer in Merc-speak) is the most extensive new model update in Benz’s history, adopting a new ...

BMW 530d SE Touring (2011) long-term test review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 20 January 2012 10:30

A year in our BMW 530d Touring - 20 January 2012 Are we road testers too easily entranced by big luxury diesel estates? Over a misspent youth poring over car magazines, I remember reading of hacks falling for the charms of said vehicles in the 1980s. One colleague on another mag actually bid for his long-term BMW 330d Touring when ...

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

the CAR road test team, 16 January 2012 11:06

Comparing our Jag XF 2.2 D with our old 2.7 D - 16 January 2012 Drove our new XF 2.2 four-cylinder diesel this weekend and was impressed. I ran CAR'sfirst XF long-termer back in 2008/09 - a Midnight black 2.7 V6 TD. It was pretty much universally admired around these parts for its fresh Jag aesthetic, modern, pampering cabin and athletic ...
