BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe Review: 640d M Sport (2012)
We have the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe in for review and road test in the guise of the 640d Gran Coupe M Sport. Is the Gran Coupe a niche too far?

Hyundai Veloster Review: Sport 1.6 GDi (2012)
We have the new Hyundai Veloster Sport 1.6 GDi – complete with Media Pack – in for review and road test. A quirky Hyundai coupe – but is it any good?

Volvo V60 T6 Polestar Review (2012)
We have the AWD, R-Design equipped Volvo V60 T6 Polestar in for a road test and review. Can a 329bhp, 4WD Volvo estate make sense?

Fiat 500 Review (2012): 500C Cabriolet TwinAir
We have the cabriolet version of the Fiat 500 in for review and road test – the Fiat 500C – with the 2 cylinder TwinAir engine.

We have the Hyundai i40 Estate in for review in the guise of the i40 1.7 CRDi 136PS Blue Drive Style Tourer. Even though we’ve become used to Hyundai’s offerings becoming more credible every year, the Hyundai i40 Tourer is a different kettle of fish altogether. It’s one thing producing ever more credible small budget cars […]
Alfa Romeo MiTo Review (2012): Quadrifoglio Verde (Cloverleaf)
We have the range-topping Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde (Cloverleaf) in for a week for review and test. The Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde (or Alfa MiTo Cloverleaf to us linguistically challenged Brits) is Alfa’s efforts at a proper little hot hatch and gets the very good 170bhp 1.4 litre MultiAir engine under the bonnet, offering real performance promise. […]
Hyundai ix35 Review (2012): Premium 1.7 CRDi 2WD
We have Hyundai’s impressive looking ix35 compact SUV come crossover in for a week for review in 2WD guise with Premium trim and the 1.7 CRDi engine.

We’ve had the latest version of the Jaguar XJ in for review – the LWB 3.0 litre Diesel Portfolio with Sports Packs – to see how the XJ is maturing. It’s getting on for two years since we had the first Jaguar XJ in for review, and almost three years since we first saw the […]
Range Rover Evoque Review: 2.2 SD4 Dynamic Coupe (2012)
We’ve had the Range Rover Evoque 2.2 SD4 Dynamic Coupe in for a week to review and road test. Is it just style over substance? If there’s one car that’s really hogged the headlines for the last year it’s the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover’s new style icon and the ‘must have’ for every yummy-mummy from Guildford to Alderley […]
