“Off road, the domain it has ruled for nearly 60 years, the Defender is now more mind-meltingly able than ever. This is a car that will tackle a 45-degree slope going forwards or backwards. It will wade through water half a metre deep without modification and traverse a 35-degree hill. Its approach and departure angles are both an astounding 47 degrees” Autocar - Full Review

“The power from the 210bhp engine is exhilarating in a car weighing just over half a ton but it’s the torque delivery that really wows. Want to overtake in sixth gear at 40mph with something like 1,500rpm indicated? No problem. This is not driving as passive experience: the aural assault is phenomenal, from the wind noise, the engine induction, the transmission tunnel by your left elbow, the exhaust by your right thigh. The air crackles and fizzes with the car’s energy” Telegraph - Full Review

“Of course, the Defender is most at home off-road, and that’s the place to appreciate it. Despite a relative shortage of driver aids, it’s hugely capable when the going gets tough. Even amateur off-road drivers can conquer the most difficult terrain without breaking sweat” The Independent - Full Review

“Here’s my new home: It’s a 2007 Bentley Arnage T. If I actually drive it, there’s a twin-turbo-fortified 6.8-liter, OHV V8 under its hood that makes 500 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of peak torque at only 3,200 rpm. Bentley claims that when you use the six-speed automatic transmission to full effect, the T-model will thunder to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and gallop along to a top speed of 179 mph. And it weighs 5,700 pounds” Edmunds - Full Review

“Fully built, this 193bhp, 174lb ft Toniq costs £23,500. Great value when you consider how quickly the price of a similarly powerful Seven can escalate (our old R300 long-termer was nudging £30,000). But when you buy a Caterham you know you’re getting a truly outstanding drivers’ car. Does the Toniq-R really compare? Well, it certainly feels at least as well built and the interior treatment is very nicely detailed. The driving position is spot-on, too. The engine feels crisp and urgent” EVO - Full Review

“New for ’07 is a six-speed automatic ZF transmission, a welcome departure from the GM-sourced four-speed it replaces, which can operated in sport or manumatic mode. Disable traction control, mash the aluminum throttle pedal into lamb’s wool carpeting and 738 lb-ft of torque begets twin lanes of smoldering Pirelli until you lift. Leave traction control on and the T should sprint to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds; once you’ve set its heft in motion, acceleration is ardent and prosecutable speeds are reached quickly” Car and Driver - Full Review

“The multi-sensory experience that only comes when you drive in a completely open car like a Caterham is something to be savoured - and when possible, repeated as often as possible. Unfortunately for me, this wasn’t to happen until four years later in the winter of 2006 - the car this time? The Caterham CSR260 Superlight - the daddy of today’s Caterhams” 4Car - Full Review

“They have been using the Honda engine, which is excellent, but had been looking at a GM powerplant. I called GM and told them about the car, suggesting it would be a wonderful showcase for them. They sent over an engine, the 2 litre Ecotec, for Brammo to install and it seems to work really well” The Times - Full Review

“But it is a sports car that can switch from posing to power without breaking stride. It’s as comfortable promenading serenely through villages as it is taking off into the distance at a searing pace. The performance and handling are of a level to give Porsche 911 cabrio drivers a serious rival on the road” The Sun - Full Review

“This thumper is now perched in a quite brilliant chassis. I can’t say I felt the extra rigidity through reduced body flex, but it has certainly facilitated a fine new suspension set-up. The R400 uses a new Bilstein damper and the same Avon R500 tyre, both of which work very well. The added torque really helps the chassis too. The old K-series used to operate on power alone, and this gave the front axle time to generate understeer as it waited for the bang to arrive. The Duratec’s instant torque now works through a standard limited-slip diff, allowing you to either enjoy just how neutral it is through most corners, or prod a little harder and create some neat, controllable oversteer” Autocar - Full Review
