Video Road Tests

 

Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 V6 Q4
This is the fastest car in the Brera range, but it doesn't always feel like it. We explain why that is.
See video

Alfa Romeo Brera 19z.

Audi A6 allroad 2.7 TDI
Based on the A6 Avant quattro, the allroad is an SUV for people who don't want an SUV.

Audi A6 49z - allroad.

Audi RS 4
Under the bonnet of this car lies a truly remarkable engine whose power is matched by the ability of the chassis. And oh, the noise . . .
See video

Audi RS 4 07z.

Audi TT Coupé
The new TT is likely to divide public opinion just as much as the old one did, but we're sure of one thing - it's a lot  better to drive.
See video

Audi TT Coupé 26z - 2.0 T-FSI.

BMW Z4 M Coupé
Very attractive and very powerful, the M Coupé nevertheless faces strong opposition from another car in the same range.
See video

BMW Z4 21z - M Coupé.

Daihatsu Terios
The new, larger Terios is practical and quite fun to live with - as long as you don't plan on going anywhere quickly.
See video

Daihatsu Terios 03z - SX.

Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCi Zetec
Fiestas don't come much more expensive than this, but the 1.6-litre TDCi turbo diesel engine and the high-spec Zetec trim level make it seem almost worth it.
See video

Ford Fiesta 41z.

Honda Civic Type R
With just short of 200bhp and a fantastic engine note, the Type R is a real boy racer's hot hatch.
See video

Ford Fiesta 41z.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 CRTD Five-Seat
Despite not having the badge cachet of other SUVs, the Santa Fe still has a lot going for it.
See video

Hyundai Santa Fe 03z.

Jaguar XK Coupé
No commentary on this one - just sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of the wonderful XK.
See video

Jaguar XK 31zz - Coupé.

Lexus IS250 SE Auto
One of those cars which doesn't do exactly what it says on the tin. The IS works well as a small luxury car, but it's not the sports saloon Lexus says it is.
See video

Lexus IS 11z - 250 SE.

Lexus RX400h
Why should Lexus be criticised for building a hybrid SUV? The performance and economy of the RX400h make it one of the most appealing cars in its class.
See video

Lexus RX400h 01z.

Mercedes-Benz B 180 CDI SE
In this form, the B-Class isn't as much fun to drive as Mercedes claims, but it's an impressively roomy and practical compact SUV all the same.
See video

Mercedes-Benz B-Class 05z - B 180 CDI SE.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Outwardly, the new-generation E-Class isn't much different from the old, but there are around 2000 modifications under the skin.
See video

Mercedes-Benz E-Class 22z.

Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
For the first time, Mercedes has attempted to combine luxury, space and off-road ability in a single model. Here's the result.
See video

Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 04z.

Mitsubishi Colt CZC Turbo
Okay, it looks like a tadpole, and does anyone really want a small coupé-convertible that's this quick? But somehow we still liked the CZC Turbo.
See video

Mitsubishi Colt 37z - CZC Turbo.

Peugeot 207 GT HDi 110
This is Peugeot's diesel hot hatch version of the 207, but does it have the performance or handling to justify the GT badge?
See video

Peugeot 207 16z.

SEAT Ibiza 1.2 Reference
The cheapest, most basic and least powerful Ibiza may not set any pulses racing, but it turns out to be a lot more fun than you might think.
See video

SEAT Ibiza 21z.

SEAT León TDI FR
This is the hottest turbo diesel in the León range - a dramatic-looking car which is a hoot to drive on a test track. Its road manners, though, are something else.
See video

SEAT León 39z - FR.

Skoda Roomster
After so many years of building conventional cars, Skoda has sprung a big surprise by introducing the radical Roomster to its line-up.
See video

Skoda Roomster 12z.

Toyota Yaris 1.4 D-4D T3 Five-Door
The second-generation Yaris isn't as radical as the car it replaces. Disappointed? There's no need to be, because this is still a very fine supermini.
See video

Toyota Yaris 20z.

Vauxhall Astra TwinTop 1.8 Sport
Not that sporty, really, but never mind. This relatively humble version of the TwinTop makes a very good case for itself.
See video

Vauxhall Astra 75z - TwinTop.

Volkswagen Eos 2.0 T-FSI Sport
The Eos is the only coupé-convertible not based directly on another single car. This one has the Golf GTI engine, but it's more of a fast cruiser than a hot hatch.
See video

Volkswagen Eos 12z.

Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 FSI Sport
It's just a Golf with a boot, right? Wrong. The Jetta Sport has turned out to be one of the most appealing cars Volkswagen builds.
See video

Volkswagen Jetta 08z - Sport.

Volkswagen Urban Fox 1.4
A confusion of concepts, perhaps. The Fox is meant to be a city car, but it has the size and performance of a supermini, and somehow that doesn't quite work.
See video

Volkswagen Fox 09z.

Volvo C70 T5 SE Lux
Yet another addition to the coupé-convertible line-up, the C70 has its flaws, but it looks so good we can forgive most of them.
See video

Volvo C70 25z.
