ROAD 10: Evil Diesels

By Phil Royle•December 17, 2010•In Features & Reviews•1 Minute

This issue features classic road trips to the Scottish glens in the new All-Wheel-Drive Impreza 2.0D RX, the brand new Mitsubish Lancer Juro tested in the Lincolnshire Wolds and an epic long distance haul to Cornwall, on one tank of fuel, in the phenomenal VW Golf BlueMotion.

Does their lack of revs and audio stimulation make these fast and frugal diesels dull? ROAD investigates the talents of three modern day oil-burners over three monster road trips.
