Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 1.0 BoosterJet 2016 Road Test 21 Sep 2016 (roadtest)
Usually when a car gets a mid-life refresh, you can’t really tell at a glance. But with the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross, you could be forgiven for thinking it was a completely new model. The front is almost unrecognisable, with a new grille, a different bumper design and redesigned -

of that is down to improved aerodynamics with better sound insulation, along with newly developed front and rear suspension.

MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works 2008 Road Test 14 Jul 2008 (roadtest)
On the launch in 2006 we found the original pre-production R56 Cooper S a bit antiseptic. We were promised go-kart handling and we got something with as much feel as a TV remote control. So we said so, and MINI Project Leader Horst Radibojevic seemed to take it to heart. He made sure -
Mercedes Benz Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2005 Road Test 1 Oct 2005 (roadtest)
Six years into its model life, we have a new Mercedes S-Class. Though it will be more like seven years before the new W221 reaches Britain in March 2006. The current W220 S-Class is to most eyes a beautiful looking car, the svelte lines of which belie its bulk -

Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 1.6 DDiS TCSS 2016 Road Test 24 Mar 2016 (roadtest)
While the new Vitara may be the golden child at Suzuki right now, the S-Cross has become something of a forgotten man. Launched in 2013, the S-Cross was the brand's first crossover, but has been overshadowed by the impressive Vitara, which arrived last year. But there's
