Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/lexus/is/saloon/review
The current Lexus IS is renowned for its reliability and build quality. And while there's much to admire, it falls short of its German rivals in a number of ways. For a start there are only three engines: one diesel and a pair of thirsty petrol units. It's quite cramped in the cabin and the interior design lacks sparkle. However, owners constantly rave about its comfort and Lexus' dealer service. The high-performance IS F is a high-revving alternative to the BMW M3.
Volvo S60 review - CarBuyer
Full Review at: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/volvo/s60/saloon/review
Volvo has long worked hard to be seen as a credible alternative to the big-selling premium German firms. And the S60 might just be the car to take on Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW - it feels like a very high quality product indeed. Despite Volvo's sporting aims, the S60 is a more comfortable drive than such rivals. That's a good thing, given the poor state of the UK's roads. The S60 was introduced with a range of powerful engines, while top-of-the-range models come with four-wheel drive. The economy-focused 1.6 diesel DRIVe version offers sub-115g/km of CO2, meaning you'll only have to pay £30 annually in Road Tax.

Lexus GS review - CarBuyer
For full review see: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/lexus/gs/saloon/review
If you want a powerful executive car that won't cost the earth to run, the default choice is usually something German. And diesel. However, the Lexus GS 450h provides a refreshing alternative to the likes of the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6. And now, thanks to an all new chassis and fresh design, it's better than before. The GS is a sharp-looking, luxurious, well-built and reliable car and in the case of the GS450h Hybrid, provides plenty of performance with impressive 46mpg economy.

Infiniti G37 convertible review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/infiniti/g/cabriolet/review
The Infiniti G Convertible is the Nissan-owned brand's competitor to the BMW 3 Series Convertible. Like the BMW, the G Convertible offers four seats and a folding hard-top roof that retracts in under 25 seconds. Boasting stylish looks and a decent ride quality all models are well equipped and provide impressive performance from the 3.7-litre V6 engine. Despite the extra 182kg of chassis strengthening required over the coupe model, the rear-wheel drive G Convertible handles well and makes a great noise with the roof down. Negatives include a slow automatic gearbox and with an asking price in excess of £40,000, the interior feels a little cheap.
Mitsubishi L200 review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/mitsubishi/l200/sports-utility-vehicle/review
The Mitsubishi L200 is the most striking looking pick-up on the market, thanks to looks inspired by the firm's desert rally cars. It's aimed at tempting exisiting SUV owners towards something more practical, while retaining loyal fans who admire its rugged credentials. It's available in four-door Double Cab, or two-door Club Cab and Single Cab guises, but it's the Double Cab model that offers the most car-like interior. The L200 is fitted with a turbocharged 2.5-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine with either 134bhp or 175bhp. Cabin quality is much improved over previous models, and comfort is on a par with similarly priced SUVs. The L200's off-road ability is impressive, but it's not so good on tarmac, as it struggles to hide its commercial underpinnings. The driving position is high, which provides a great view of the road, but the L200's size is it's biggest problem: parking can be tricky without the optional rear-view camera.

BMW 3 Series Touring review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/bmw/series-3/estate-2005-2012/review
If you are hooked on the promise of the BMW 3 Series' fine handling and sporty road manners, but need a practical luggage area, this is the car for you. The 3 Series Touring has the same 460-litre capacity as the saloon with the rear seats in place, yet the large tailgate makes access easier, and the rear seats fold to provide 1,385 litres of space. A huge range of engines is available, but any of the diesels will cope well with a car full of people and their belongings, while still returning good fuel economy.

Alfa Romeo MiTo review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/alfa-romeo/mito/hatchback/review
With all the style Alfa Romeo is famed for, a wide choice of economical engines and an impressive list of personalisation options, it's no wonder that the MiTo is Alfa's best-selling model. There's even a good deal of space inside - enough for four adults at a push. However, it lacks the comfort and overall build quality to beat the Audi A1 and MINI for upmarket feel. Some of the cabin plastics are too hard and look cheap. The engine range offers great economy, though, which offsets the MiTo's relatively high purchase price. The MultiAir petrol engines impress with their performance and smoothness.

BMW 3 Series review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/bmw/series-3/saloon/review
The new BMW 3 Series has a lot to live up to, as its predecessor has been the class leader in the compact executive sector since making its debut in 2005. But the old car wasn't without its flaws, and recent updates to the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class have made the 3 Series look vulnerable. As a result, the latest model couldn't have come soon enough. Designers have worked hard to improve BMW in every area, while there's now a model to suit every taste and budget, including ES, ED, SE, Luxury, Modern and Sport. Bigger, more refined and with a range of efficient new engines, the all-new version is the best yet.

Only time will tell, stay tuned for a more in depth tour later this year when both go on sale.
Mercedes M-Class review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/mercedes/m_class/sports-utility-vehicle/review
The latest generation of the Mercedes M-Class was introduced in late 2011 as Mercedes lifted its game against rivals that have emerged in the decade since it spawned this segment: the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and BMW X5. The M-Class is nearly four-metres long and has a massive load area, regardless of which of model you choose. The ML 250 starts the range with a 202bhp 2.1-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel, then there's the volume-selling ML 350 with its 255bhp V6 turbodiesel. If it's power you're after rather than efficiency, there's the ML 63 AMG complete with 518bhp 5.5-litre twin turbo V8 -- the most powerful Mercedes 4x4 ever sold. All offer luxurious equipment levels, fit and finish as well as an imposing road presence.
Mercedes-Benz B-Class review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/mercedes/b_class/mini-mpv/review
The new B-Class is a compact MPV, positioned as a premium rival to the Ford C-MAX and Volkswagen Golf Plus. It's built around an all-new front-wheel drive platform that will be used for the new A-Class and three other brand new models. The interior layout is versatile and spacious, as well as maintaining Mercedes' reputation for high-quality.
Hyundai i40 Saloon review - CarBuyer
Full review:
http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/hyundai/i40/saloon/review
The Hyundai i40 is big and bold, with sharp looks that have no problem turning heads. The car makes a stylish, practical choice for families - and thanks to its range of efficient engines is also a good-looking option for cash-conscious company car buyers. If you are looking to cut your motoring costs, bear in mind that the car's 1.7-litre diesel engine can do 62mpg, but remains powerful and responsive. The car is good to drive, too, and while it's not quite as composed on winding roads as a Ford Mondeo, it comes close. The six-speed manual gearbox is light to use and the interior is decent quality. Cars are generally well equipped -- and comforts such as air-conditioning, nine airbags for added safety, and reclining rear seats are offered as standard. Practical, cheap to run and good to drive, the Hyundai i40 is a fine car for you and all the family, whether you're on business or heading on holiday.

Porsche Cayenne review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/porsche/cayenne/sports-utility-vehicle/review
Porsche shook up the performance 4x4 marketplace when it introduced the big Cayenne. It shifted perceptions of how well a tall, heavy 4x4 could drive. All the engines provide ample performance, with even the entry-level V6 petrol and diesel models able to accelerate from 0-62mph in less than eight seconds.

AUDI A6 Allroad Quattro estate review - CarBuyer
Read the full review here: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/audi/a6/allroad-estate/review
The Audi A6 Allroad Quattro takes the latest-generation Audi A6 Avant and gives it the off-road treatment. A 15mm increase in ride height allows greater approach and departure angles, while wheel arch cladding distinguishes it visually from the Audi A6 Avant on which it's based. There's adjustable air suspension standard across the range as well as specially tuned ESP and underbody armour. There are three diesels and one petrol variant, starting with the 201bhp 3.0-litre diesel, a 242bhp 3.0-litre diesel (expected to make up 86 per cent of sales) and a 306bhp 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol. All of these engines are mated to a seven-speed S tronic transmission. The most potent of the range is the 309bhp 3.0-litre BiTDI twin-turbo V6 diesel and it's the only motor to use the new eight-speed transmission.
