  • Jaguar XJ-S (1975 - 1996) (Classics Reviews)
    It must have been a tense moment when the covers came off the Jaguar XJ-S in 1975. After all, this was the car that was supposed to replace the iconic E-type. It was no surprise, then, that buyers were left scratching their heads. Why, they questioned, was it so big, ugly and clearly set
  • Jaguar S-type (1963 - 1968) (Classics Reviews)
    The story of Jaguar’s Mk2 family is complicated - the original Mk1 was transformed into the Mk2 before being re-jigged into the 240/340. There were also two further offshoots, the similar looking S-type and the 420 (and let's not forget the V8 engined Daimler versions
  • Top 10: Best roof boxes (Article)
    (with a 60mm maximum) and max load is 50kg. Thule Touring S The T hule Touring S roof box adds 330 litres of additional luggage space to your car. The Touring roof box range itself comes in a number of sizes. The S tested here is small, with M and L choices in 400 litre and 420 litre
  • Audi TT S 2018 Road Test 20 Jul 2018 (roadtest)
    1.8-litre 180PS petrol engine has been replaced by a 2.0-litre in the entry-level TT, while the 230PS version has had power boosted to 245PS. For now, the TT S is topping the range (an updated TT RS will follow) and, while power has dropped to 306PS (from 310PS) thanks to a new petrol
  • MINI Cooper S 2018 Road Test 4 Jun 2018 (roadtest)
    reckoned that by the time I could drive I’d probably be able to afford a used one. Over the years I eventually owned a Mini van with trick suspension, a Mini based Wolseley Hornet and a Mini 1000. My brother had a Mini van with a 1,293cc Mini Cooper S engine. Our neighbour had a succession of Mini
  • MINI Cooper S 2014 Road Test 17 Apr 2014 (roadtest)
    MINI can't be accused of not knowing what it's doing. Nor can you say that the company doesn't know its customer base - so when you see that the latest incarnation of the Cooper S has a rather evolutionary look, you can be sure it's for a very good reason
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
    The old chestnut of who builds the best luxury saloon in the world is somewhat moot nowadays when there are some that go so far beyond anything the mainstream Mercedes S-Class can offer. Even Mercedes does this with its Maybach model, yet the S-Class still has a claim on this title
  • Jaguar XFR-S 2013 Road Test 15 Sep 2013 (roadtest)
    car but, whether to keep up with the Germans or otherwise, there’s now an XFR-S, with more power, handling tweaks and tougher styling. It’s still a luxuriously appointed four-door saloon though. It has the same theatrical air vent operation as any other XF and a similarly
  • Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2013 - 2021) (Reviews)
    Squint at the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross and you’ll see a few similarities to the Nissan Qashqai . That’s not a huge surprise – the Nissan is a best-seller and it was the benchmark against which the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross was measured
  • Jaguar XKR-S 2011 Road Test 3 Jun 2011 (roadtest)
    It's easy to think the XKR-S is just a marketing ploy by Jaguar . After all, the standard XKR isn't exactly short on pace with 510PS on tap from its 5.0-litre V8 engine
  • Toyota Verso S 2011 Road Test 17 Feb 2011 (roadtest)
    The Toyota Verso S fills a yawning gap in the Toyota range. The old Postman Pat Toyota Yaris Verso is sorely missed. Between 1999 and 2006 it sold 150,000 in Europe alone. Since then, the hole it left in the market has been filled
  • Aston Martin Rapide S (2010 - 2019) (Reviews)
    Four door super saloon from Aston Martin. Superb luxury and performance with mighty 6.0-litre engine.
  • MINI Cooper S 2007 Road Test 31 Oct 2006 (roadtest)
    In developing the 2nd generation R56 Mini Cooper S, has BMW taken the fun out of the MINI? First reports from “first drives” a month ago tended to end with that conclusion. And seemed to be worrying MINI Project Leader Horst Radibojevic as he cross-examined us after our own
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2006 - 2014) (Reviews)
    The old W220 S-Class was to most eyes a beautiful looking car, the svelte lines of which belie its bulk. It was a great favourite, selling 17,852 in the UK alone, the most common car parked kerbside outside the embassies and consulates of Kensington. Now you can pick one up used for around
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1991 - 1999) (Classics Reviews)
    Te Mercedes-Benz S-Class may have reached its technical peak in 1991 with the W140 generation. Here we had a car that introduced several new innovations when launched, such as double-glazed side glass and self-closing doors. Of course, the technology went further than that, with the boffins
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1979 - 1993) (Classics Reviews)
    In 1979, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was relaunched, and once again took a big technological leap from what came before. Aerodynamic styling penned by Bruno Sacco signalled a new look that would filter its way down the entire range, and showed that Mercedes-Benz was not about to lose its lead
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1972 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)
    The second-generation S-Class was a technical masterpiece, and clearly in the running for the 'best car in the world', which manufacturers like to talk about. The range was logivally split into six- and V8-cylinder cars, standard- and long-wheelbase - with a rather special model right at the top
  • Audi 100 Coupe S (1970 - 1976) (Classics Reviews)
    The Audi 100 Coupe S added a much needed shot of glamour into the range during the early 1970s, proving to be a perfect halo product for a manufacturer that was trying hard to establish itself. Shorn of its sensible suit and clothed in an Aston DBS-like coupé bodyshell, the Audi 100 looked
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1965 - 1972) (Classics Reviews)
    And so the S-Class legend begins. The launch of the W108 and 109 represented the point at which the large Mercedes-Benz range became the one-size-fits-all default-choice plutocrat motor. It was styled to (near) perfection by Paul Bracq, an object lesson in  understated elegance
  • MINI Cooper S Convertible 2018 Road Test 27 Mar 2018 (roadtest)
    if you think this cheeky dose of patriotism works or if they're just pure tacky. Under the bonnet the little punchy 136PS 1.5-litre turbo petrol carries over unchanged and powers the entry-level Cooper model. The big news is the old 2.0-litre turbo that powers the Cooper S and John Cooper S
