BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2011 09:54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 06 October 2011 18:00

Vauxhall is replacing the Zafira with the new Zafira Tourer - and it also isn't. Eh? What's with the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer? Well, the new Zafira Tourer you see here will be in addition to today's Zafira MPV. Rather like Renault with the Clio, Vauxhall plans to sell both old and new concurrently. The thinking is it'll give GM a ...

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

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. ...

Saab 9-5 2.0 TiD 158bhp (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 03 June 2010 09:41

It's been a long time coming. Thirteen years in fact. But at last Saab has launched a new 9-5 and we've finally tested it, here in entry-level 2.0-litre turbodiesel spec. A brace of TDs will be available in the new 9-5, sharing the same four-cylinder block but with single or twin turbocharging to crank out their 158bhp or 187bhp outputs. ...

Lotus Elise (2010) first drive CAR review

4.5

Ben Barry, 19 April 2010 09:24

You’ll struggle to spot the difference, but this is the third-generation 2010-spec Lotus Elise. The basic chassis, brakes and dimensions remain unchanged, but the styling is subtly tweaked (the headlights are the stand-out change, but many of the panels are gently finessed) and the base model now has a 1.6-litre Toyota-sourced engine located amidships and a six-speed gearbox to replace ...

Honda Accord Type S Tourer (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 08 July 2009 14:56

The 2.2-litre diesel engine in Honda’s Accord looked a little undernourished on paper – until now. It’s been boosted by 30bhp to a much more competitive 178bhp, and torque is up from 258lb ft to 280lb ft – and spread from 2000-2750rpm. To capitalise on the extra grunt, Honda’s added a new model at the top of the Accord range, ...

Caterham Seven Superlight 150 long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 28 April 2009 09:00

Long-term test update - 28 April 2009 Bike versus car you say? CAR's Caterham Seven versus a Yamaha R6? The difference is huge, even with a car as extreme and stripped-down as the Caterham. That gulf is down to feel. On the edge, on cool, wet roads, riding the bike is about treading the fine line between slip and grip. ...

Lotus Eco Elise (2009) green CAR review

Tim Pollard (photos by Michael Topham), 09 December 2008 13:27

CAR's test of the Lotus Eco Elise has an inauspicious start. I slip into the driver's seat – with that swing-legs-in-haul-your-weight-around gymnastic routine familiar to generations of Elise owners – and thumb the start button. The first few hundreds yards confirm the Elise's rich DNA. Who doesn't love Hethel's back-to-basics purity? The tiny rim squirming in your palms, the wings' ...

Volvo V70 2.0D SE (2008) CAR review

Peter Burgess, 18 August 2008 11:17

The Volvo V70 is the model that defines the Swedish brand. Volvo built its reputation around both estate cars and building in the highest levels of passenger protection if you were unlucky enough to have an accident. But somewhere along the way these two things got diluted. EuroNCAP meant the likes of Renault, for heavens sake, suddenly claimed the safety ...

Honda Accord Tourer 2.2 i-DTEC EX GT (2008) CAR review

the CAR road test team, 15 April 2008 18:21

Form versus function: it’s a perennial design battle and sums up the difference between the outgoing Honda Accord Tourer and the new – eighthgeneration – model launching in September 2008. The old version was one of the most practical and innovative load carriers on the market, but frankly a little dull to look at. The new design is a more ...
