Vauxhall Insignia 2.8 V6 4x4 (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 30 October 2008 11:17

Twenty minutes into a vigorous hoon in this 2.8-litre V6 powered, four-wheel drive flagship of the new Vauxhall Insignia range, all I could think of was pub grub. No, the launch proceedings food was perfectly fine, thank you… after a plenty-of-added-Austrian-lard fashion. It simply struck me that, these days, there’s a surprising parity between tavern nosh and this much diminished ...

Cadillac CTS 2.8 V6 (2009) CAR review

Peter Burgess, 11 August 2008 10:03

In the United States the Cadillac CTS has become one of GM’s minor success stories. Cadillac builds 240,000 cars a year and the CTS, its 5-series saloon, has become a core part of the range. Now the latest Cadillac CTS reaches the UK this September, after the best part of a year on sale in the US. GM is desperate ...

Jeep Cherokee 2.8 CRD Limited UK CAR review

CJ Hubbard, 06 August 2008 10:47

Bing. Bing. Bing. The new Jeep Cherokee's tyre pressure warning bell announces itself in typical American car fashion as soon as we turn the key. Gladly, it shuts up after just a few repetitions, and since the psi reduction is deliberate we set off. Jeep is about to prove just how effective its latest Selec-Trak II system is by allowing us ...

Nissan Pathfinder 2.5 dCi Aventura CAR review

Matthew Jones, 14 May 2008 11:10

Remember Nissan’s TV advert where the Pathfinder sent people screaming for cover as it chugged through an Amercian city? That’s because this pick-up is a gigantic brute of a car, a proper workhorse, a ‘car’ that’s not afraid to roll up its sleeves and get dirty. And because Nissan knows that it can’t match the green oval kudos of Land ...

Volvo C70 2.0D SE CAR review

Anonymous, 04 January 2008 11:52

Volvo launched the C70 with a USP: it was the world’s first four-seat premium convertible with a retractable steel roof. It’s a questionable claim. Is a Volvo that shares much of its underpinnings with a Ford Focus truly premium? Hmm. And, even if it was the first, it’s no longer the only. BMW’s 3-series convertible is a real alternative. Why ...

Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 JTD Ti CAR review

Anonymous, 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 CAR review

Anonymous, 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 ...

Renault Laguna Coupe concept CAR review

Anonymous, 19 October 2007 10:15

Ooo, shiny. What is this fine-looking thing? This is – are you ready? – a Renault. Yes, honestly. The company that currently specialises in boring family carry-alls and hardcore hot hatches has actually turned out something sexy. It's the Laguna Coupe Concept, a debutante show car at last month's Frankfurt Motor Show. And we've just driven it. Alongside its swoopy, ...

Renault Laguna Active Drive CAR review

Anonymous, 14 September 2007 10:50

What’s all this then? A Laguna with the agility of a Porsche Boxster. Through a slalom, it will turn in instantly, change direction with comparable speed – but not hint at the dreaded pendulum. Your hands will have steered just one, crisp input, and been met with firm, accurate response. How do we know? Renault laid on the comparison for ...

Citroen C6 2.2 HDi CAR review

Anonymous, 23 August 2007 11:52

A big Citroen saloon? Surely they’ve learnt by now that these don’t sell... Apparently not, but when you have a heritage as rich and idiosyncratic as the DS, SM and CX then perhaps you’ll never learn. Then again, economies of scale with sister company Peugeot’s 607 no doubt help as well, and if you don’t sell many, at least the ...
