Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top  pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. Underneath the skin there are bits of Astra hatchback and Insignia saloon, but the Cascada looks altogether classier than run-of-the-mill Vauxhalls. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite ...

Toyota RAV4 2.2 D-4D (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 25 March 2013 13:15

This is the fourth-generation RAV4, or to give our test car its full title, the Toyota RAV4 Invincible 2.2 D-4D. Let’s pick that mouthful of a moniker apart and find out if the new RAV4 can cut it against the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V in the school-run soft-roader class. Invincible? That’s quite a claim for the new RAV4… Toyota ...

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 16 January 2012 10:19

The new Subaru XV is a curious thing. Despite the styling iniquities visited on the likes of the once-wholesome Forester and Impreza of late, there is still a tremendous groundswell of goodwill towards Subaru out there. Which makes it all the more difficult to fathom why, far from trying to rekindle the interest of its core customer base by vigorously ...

Audi Q3 2.0 TDI Quattro (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 29 June 2011 09:09

This is the new Audi Q3, Ingolstadt’s rival for the BMW X1 and the forthcoming Range Rover Evoque. It’s the smallest Q-series 4x4 yet from Audi, and (at least initially) is only available with a selection of 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged and direct-injection engines. Items like an aluminium bonnet and aluminium bootlid are 50% lighter than the conventional steel items, there ...

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.0 JTDM TI (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 23 May 2011 12:02

Here’s the thing about the Alfa Romeo 159: it could be launched today and I’d wager you and I would be slavering over it. You’d be hard pressed to believe this is a six-year-old design, so shapely is the 159’s style. And the 159 Sportwagon estate is equally desirable – those Design Giugiaro badges on the flanks seem very deserved. ...

Toyota Land Cruiser LC5 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 10 May 2011 10:01

The Toyota Land Cruiser has a peerless reputation for toughness and reliability. But is it refined enough to appeal to average UK buyers who use their 4x4s almost exclusively on-road? We recently put the Toyota Land Cruiser back onto the tarmac and point it towards a town centre to find out. Read on for our test review of the Toyota Land ...

Peugeot 4007 DCS (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 08 December 2009 09:56

Peugeot 4007? Hmm. What’s new that we can tell you about that? It’s still a renosed, rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander, it still has a Citroën C-Crosser sibling, and it’s still pretty decent if rather pricey and lightweight. Only now you can mix Mitsubishi’s dual-clutch six-speed transmission with PSA’s 2.2-litre HDi turbodiesel. A fine pairing? Let’s find out. Mitsubishi? Dual-clutch? Must be ...

Toyota Land Cruiser (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 06 November 2009 15:39

It’s almost 60 years old, five million have been sold throughout the world and, with this all-new model – cue drumroll – the UK will add, well, around 1200 units to that tally annually. You’re unlikely to see one over here, then, so take a good look at the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser while you can. It looks familiar… Evolution’s ...

Volvo XC70 DRIVe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 27 August 2009 11:07

On looks alone, this Volvo XC70 may seem like old news, yet it puts a whole new twist on the urban off-roader theme. Why? Because, despite the jacked-up stance, it’s actually front-wheel drive. What’s happened to the 4x4 version? Don’t panic, it’s still on sale. The front-wheel drive XC70 has been introduced along with a front-drive XC60, both cars being ...

Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 27 July 2009 11:01

Even though Audi is seemingly hellbent on producing a different model for each and every one of its 100-year history, you’d be forgiven for questioning the imposition of five-door hatchback status on anything quite as pretty as the original A5 Coupé. There is, however, method in this ostensible madness because, with Saab’s 9-3 hatch now defunct and BMW’s 5-series GT ...
