We have what is probably the pick of the new BMW 5 Series Estates – the BMW 520d SE Touring – in for review and road test. It’s arguable that the BMW 5 Series Touring is the best estate you can buy. With a huge range of engine options there’s something for everybody, but perhaps […]
Fisker Karma Review Video
The first review of the Fisker Karma range-extender on video from a US Fisker dealer. Finally, after a rather lengthy wait, the Fisker Karma is making its way in to the hands of real customers. And real cars means the opportunity to review the Karma, something a US Fisker dealer has put on video. Of course, a […]
Volvo V60 D3 R-Design Review & Road Test (2011)
This week it’s the turn of Volvo’s newest estate / sport wagon – the Volvo V60 D3 R-Design – to arrive for review & road test. Just another Volvo estate, or something more interesting? It takes a very long time for established views to change. I mean, who’d have thought that Take That could ever be cool or […]
Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB MultiAir 170 Veloce (2011) Review & Road Test
This week we have the Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB MultiAir 170 Veloce in for review and road test. Is it just another fragile Alfa, or a real contender? You’d expect us to open up a review of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta with the line that’s always trotted out about Alfas – especially by the Top […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 eD4 HSE (2011) Review
We have the new 2WD Freelander 2 – the Freelander 2 eD4 HSE – in for review & road test this week. Is a 2WD Land Rover Freelander just plain wrong? Has the world lost all sense of perspective? Land Rover building a front wheel drive car? Surely, that has to be an oxymoron? But […]
Lexus CT 200h SE-I Review & Road Test (2011)
This week we have the entry-level Lexus CT 200h – the Lexus take on the Prius – in for review and road test. A Prius in posh clothes or a sporty hybrid? The surprise isn’t that Lexus has decided to build its own version of the Toyota Prius – the Lexus CT 200h – it’s […]
Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Series 51 Review & Road Test (2011)
This week we play at plutocrat boy-racers as we have the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Series 51 in for Review and Road Test. Does it make sense? We’re a picky bunch, us Brits. However brilliant anything is we have to find a way to denigrate it. It’s as if we can’t live with success; we […]
Jaguar XJ Review: Long-term Jaguar XJ departs
[nggallery id=568 template=customlinks] After five months – and a great deal of driving pleasure – our long-term Jaguar XJ goes back to Jaguar having not missed a beat. Doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun? It seems only five minutes since we wrote that our long-term Jaguar XJ would be here until ‘… the leaves […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 Review & Road Test: Freelander 2 SD4 HSE (2011)
This week we have the latest 2011 Freelander 2 – the Land Rover Freelander 2 SD4 HSE – in for review and road Test. Does the extra power help the Freelander? Whatever way you look at it, Land Rover’s current model line-up is a bit of a mess, at least as far as the lower […]
Volvo S40 Review & Road Test: Volvo S40 SE DRIVe Start/Stop (2011)
We have the Volvo S40 SE DRIVe Start/Stop in for review and road test this week. Is Volvo’s frugal S40 a quality car? There was a time – when Adam was a lad and so was I – Volvo just made a certain kind of solid, respectable saloon car for solid, respectable middle class families to […]
