3.0 V6 CRD - The 300C has proved a big success for Chrysler since first going on sale in 2005. Its striking good looks and attractive pricing made it a tempting proposition for execs wanting an imposing luxury car without having to re-mortgage.

BMW 3-Series Saloon Full Road Test Report

320d - Recently facelifted, the 3-series is one of the best all-round cars on sale. Not only does it offer refinement and comfort by the bucketload, but it’s also blessed with the ability to morph into a pin-sharp sports saloon when you point it away from the motorway and in the direction of some twisty bits.... read more

Ford S-MAX Full Road Test Report

Titanium 2.2 TDCi - Ford reinvented the MPV when it introduced the S-max back in 2006. Not only was it the first people carrier to feature Ford’s Kinetic styling, but it also boats an extremely clever interior with what’s arguably the best use of space on the market. Add a communicative chassis and a frugal diesel engine and you’ve got a force to be reckoned with on the MPV front.... read more

Volkswagen Scirocco Full Road Test Report

GT 2.0 TSI - The cool sexy VW Scirocco is back and it looks great. The car has moved on since the original Scirocco was launched in 1974 but the 2008 version looks a class act and has the wow appeal that the older generations had. The Scirocco is a coupe with a hatch, which the maker hopes will increase its practicality as a family car.... read more

Honda Civic Hybrid Full Road Test Report

2009 - The revised model of the Civic Hybrid is new for 2009, it utilises the same technology under the bonnet as the previous Civic Hybrid – in that it has a 1.3 litre petrol engine with IMA (the battery) - but has received a welcome face lift, giving it a contemporary look more in line with the Civic and Accord; where as the older model looked a little dated, that cannot be said of the 2009 car.... read more

Honda Civic Full Road Test Report

Championship White Civic Type R 2009 - The ‘normal’ Type R not good enough for you? Waiting for something from Honda to really make you excited? Well, this car might make you sit up and notice.

Honda Civic Full Road Test Report

Type S - With the latest incarnation of Honda’s biggest selling model hitting middle age, the Japanese manufacturer has taken the opportunity to tweak its Civic range. The new 1.8 i-VTEC Type S has seen its front end altered to look more like the Type R, while the handling and ride have been tweaked to give the driver a bit more of a sportier feel. The result is a sporty looking Honda...... read more

Toyota iQ Full Road Test Report

1.0 VVT-i Multidrive - Billed as the world’s smallest 4-seater, Toyota’s cute iQ goes on sale in the UK in January ’09. At just under 3 metres long it’s shorter than the original Mini, and vastly more sophisticated, but what’s this all-new city-car like to drive, and can it really seat four in comfort?... read more

Toyota Rav4 Full Road Test Report

2.2 D-4D SR180 - The first RAV4 hit the streets way in 1994. Initially in 3-door guise, it bravely pioneered the still highly popular soft-roader niche. Since then the ‘RAV’ has been completely re-designed twice and grown in size, but along the way has become not only Europe’s best-selling SUV, but the world’s best-selling compact SUV.... read more

Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet

1 stars - average customer rating

Have leased this car for 3 years, luckily I can hand it back in 2009 - thank god I didn’t buy it. This car has been an absolute nightmare, has been in the garage more times that I can count. Roof continues to leak even though I have been assured on at least 3 occasions that this fault has been rectified. Water was leaking in from driver’s side but after roof was realigned it is now leaking in from passenger side. Was told by Renault that if car was parked on a slope when water leaking, that this is then not a manufacturing fault. I then asked what about when driving round corners and when water comes in, got no reply to this question!! Inside door handles have had to be replaced due to chipping, carpet in footwell has been glued down on at least 4 occasions, alarm keeps going off when raining, gear stick numbers have worn off. Was advised not to wear rings, I would never recommend this car to anyone and am only glad that I can hand it back.
