Mini Countryman car review

Despite the huge sales success enjoyed by the Mini Hatchback, Convertible and Clubman, Mini has found its growing range of models still can’t cater for everybody.

Volvo V60 car review

The Volvo V60 is the solution for buyers looking for a more practical alternative to the Volvo S60 saloon. But don’t call this an estate – it’s much more stylish than that. The V60 Sports Wagon, as Volvo calls it, rivals the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant. We put it to the test to see if it can rival the German duo for all round appeal.

The Audi A4 is a mid-sized four-door saloon and estate that rivals the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class and Ford Mondeo. The version launched in 2000 was the second generation of the A4 which refined the original formula of a well-built, attractive saloon, but added more interior space and was more comfortable and fun to drive.
