Less Can Be More | BMW 316i M Sport
Last to the 3 Series family, the 316i may pack the least power, but it’s so affable, it may just leave its middle siblings neglected by the crowd.
Hole-In-One | Volkswagen Golf Sport 1.4 TSI
Volkswagen scores a hole-in-one with the new Golf. We drive it, only to find out that it has just bagged the coveted Car of the Year award. We couldn’t agree with the judges more.
Mean & Green | BMW ActiveHybrid 3
How do we save the world without any super powers? BMW has the answer. Packing 335 bhp and 450 Nm, the ActiveHybrid 3 is both mean and green!
Clean Performance | Audi A6 Hybrid
Audi’s A6 Hybrid packs a combined power of 245 bhp and will save you some money too (if you drove it like it had 120 bhp)! But for the price, wouldn’t a 3.0 TFSI make more sense?
French Kiss | Peugeot 408 1.6 Turbo
The new Peugeot 408 has a lot of room and packs some ‘vroom’ too. Can it take the game to the Germans and the Japanese though?
Don’t Just Speed, Feed!
To Malacca and back. Over two days. With less than a tank of diesel. We join Volkswagen on an epic trip up north to sample good food and great cars.
Luxury Hatch On Stilts | Audi Q5 3.0 TFSI
Audi bid’s their naturally aspirated 3.2 V6 farewell, and the updated Q5 SUV impresses with a good drive thanks to a new 3-litre power-plant pushing 272 bhp and a hefty 400 Nm.
MINI In Name Only | MINI John Cooper Works Hatch
In the past, if you wanted the hottest MINI, you could only get it with three pedals. Now the John Cooper Works range comes paired with an autobox that works (pardon the pun) surprisingly well!
Seventh Heaven? | BMW ActiveHybrid 7
BMW’s answer to Lexus’ LS600hL is the ActiveHybrid 7, a large premium hybrid that offers both luxury and performance. From our time with the car, it seems to have succeeded in fulfilling both claims.
Perfect Date | Audi S5 Coupe 3.0T
The Audi S5 got a refresh recently, we take one out on a date and remember why this is one of our favorite Audis.
