Porsche Cayenne GTS (2007) review Price: £54,000 12 November 2007 by Steve Bennett Cayenne GTS? What’s that then? It’s a more sports-biased version of Porsche’s SUV supercar that seems to wind up just about everyone with an opinion, yet sells jolly nicely. Porsche also justifies the...

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S (2007) review Price: £86,400 12 November 2007 by Richard Aucock Maserati model names confuse me. What’s this Sport GT S all about?

Subaru Impreza WRX STi review Price: £24,995 09 November 2007 by Ben Oliver Please, please tell me the WRX STi is more impressive than the standard Impreza...

BMW 330d M-Sport (2007) review Price: £33,095 06 November 2007 by Steve Prentice Admit it, it’s an oil-burner in a sports jacket … why fool yourself? Who said diesels can’t be nippy?

Mazda 2 1.3 TS2 (2007) review Price: £9,999 06 November 2007 by David Motton Hmm, a new Mazda 2. The old car was pretty dull, wasn’t it? Yes, but the new 2 is different.

Suzuki Splash 1.2 (2007) review Price: £7,000 26 October 2007 by James Foxall It looks quite small. Where will the Splash sit in Suzuki’s range?

Aston Martin DBS (2008) review Price: £160,000 19 October 2007 by Chris Chilton I know Bond drove it last year but what’s all the fuss about? It’s a DB9 with a bodykit isn’t it? Steady on.
