Pub quiz trivia - the world's first ever printed road test in a car magazine was published by Autocar on 13 April 1928, and was an Austin 7 Gordon England "Sunshine Saloon" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKNINmffc2E&t=34s
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-09-29 09:36	^ I think that “the Autocar” might be accused of semantic sleight of hand here, and refer you to the following: - “Testing the Three-Litre Bentley” “A car which possesses quite unusual characteristics, can run slowly on a high top gear, and is very fast on full throttle.” Autocar - April 15th 1922. I’ll try to sharpen the picture a bit when I’ve stopped shaking. -- Last edit: 2022-09-29 13:21:25
dsl ◊ 2022-09-29 14:04	^ I guess the Autocar 1928 claim is based on the first attempt to accurately/independently measure things - performance, fuel consumption, braking etc - to a consistent standard using consistent location and equipment, therefore beginning to compile a databank of comparative like-for-like data. No doubt they did a lot of driving reports before then, but without generating the degree of measured statistics. There's been a fair bit of sporadic publicity for this claim in recent years - their 5000th road test, the magazine's 125th anniversary - and I haven't seen any disagreement surfacing for their claim.
