Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/mazda/mx_5/roadster/review
Mazda hasn't changed the basic design of the MX-5 since it introduced the original version in 1989 - low weight, moderately powerful engines and excellent handling are what the MX-5 is all about. The latest model is bigger, safer and slightly more powerful than its predecessors and has more in the way of creature comforts, so it's easier to live with. Storage space isn't bad considering the size of the car, but you'll still need to pack lightly for a weekend away.

Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S) review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/toyota/gt-86/coupe/review
The Toyota GT86 has been charged with injecting a little excitement into the Japanese brand's dull and dependable image. Developed in partnership with Subaru, the rear-wheel drive coupe promises to mix driving fun with great value for money. The GT 86 is priced at around £25,000, and is aimed squarely at entry-level versions of the evergreen Audi TT. While the Toyota isn't as attractive as the sleek Audi or muscular Nissan 370Z, it still has the ability to turn heads. And what the interior lacks in quality and cutting edge design, it more than makes up for with generous standard kit. But the GT86 is car that demands to be driven rather than looked at. Sharp and engaging handling, a characterful 2.0-litre flat four petrol engine and strong brakes help make the Toyota a number one choice for back road blasts.

BMW Z4 review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/bmw/z4/roadster/review
The BMW Z4 is the firm's best roadster yet -- and it gets a folding metal hard top instead of a cloth roof. It also has smooth, supple suspension, and a chassis that is tuned for comfort. That means the car is slightly less fun to drive quickly than a pure sports car, but it's much more relaxing to use on a daily basis. The new roof shuts out more engine, wind and tyre noise from the cabin, but it eats into boot space when it's folded down.
Mazda3 MPS review - CarBuyer
Read the full review here: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/mazda/mazda3/mps-hatchback/review
The Mazda3 MPS is the high-performance version of the excellent Mazda3 hatchback. Powered by a 256bhp turbocharged 2.3-litre engine and featuring a wild-looking bodykit and upgraded suspension, the 3 MPS has been designed to rival the Ford Focus ST and VW Golf GTI. A great-value price and plenty of standard equipment means the Mazda represents excellent value for money. However, it's not as fun to drive as the Ford, while high running costs offset the attractive price.

Jaguar XK Review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/jaguar/xk-series/coupe/review
The Jaguar XK is a beautifully styled sports car that also manages the rare trick of mixing an exciting drive with a quiet and comfortable interior. For that you can thank its superb suspension, the choice of two hugely powerful V8 engines and a slick automatic gearbox. The supercharged XKR version is a seriously rapid car, with its 5.0-litre engine producing 503bhp to allow it to reach 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds. The convertible version shares all the performance of its coupe relative, but opens up the XK's interior to the sun.

Mazda CX-5 review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/mazda/cx-5/suv/review
The Mazda CX-5 is the Japanese brand's latest crossover compact SUV, competing with the Skoda Yeti and Volkswagen Tiguan. Sporty to drive, the CX-5 is available in both two and four wheel drive, with either a 173bhp 2.2-litre diesel or a 163bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine. Two transmissions are offered, a six-speed manual and a six speed-automatic. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, and there's a large boot. Drivers should expect plenty of kit as standard, including a touchscreen sat-nav device and safety aids, like lane keep assist. Front-wheel drive versions are sure to be popular, offering lower running costs plus a more enjoyable drive.

Hyundai Veloster review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/hyundai/veloster/hatchback/review
The Hyundai Veloster is the firm's latest attempt to produce a coupe without compromise, and first impressions prove they are not far off the mark. One highlight is the clever door arrangement, which is similar to a MINI Clubman. It has a single door on one side and a pair of doors on the other to improve access to the back seats. Unlike the Clubman, Hyundai has engineered the door layout for the UK, so the double doors open on to the pavement, not into the road. At the moment there's a single engine choice - a rather weak 138bhp 1.6-litre petrol - but this may be joined by a diesel and a high powered turbo version in the near future. The Veloster's sharp chassis is easily capable of dealing with more power.
Range Rover Evoque review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/land-rover/evoque/suv/review
The premium SUV sector will never be quite the same again, as the Range Rover Evoque has raised the bar to an entirely new level. It's available in two compact bodystyles -- with three doors or five -- and with a choice of three engines and a trio of luxury trim levels, while the pricing structure makes it the perfect entry point to Range Rover ownership.
Porsche Panamera review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/porsche/panamera/hatchback/review
Porsche could be criticised for being lacking a sense of adventure when it comes to design, but its dedication to providing a fantastic driving experience shines through with the Panamera. This oddly proportioned hatchback is Porsche's first 'saloon', yet the German firm has injected it with the DNA of a sports car.

Audi TT review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/audi/tt/coupe/review
The Audi TT is a beautiful piece of design, and it drives very well, too. Available as a coupe or a convertible, Audi's small sports car is not the most practical around, but few machines match its blend of prestige, quality and comfort. Equipped with Audi's 2.0 TDI diesel engine, it's also relatively cheap to run. At the other end of the scale, the range-topping TT RS offers supercar-matching performance.
BMW 1 Series review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/bmw/series-1/hatchback/review
The second generation of the BMW 1 Series hatchback is packed with more gadgetry than ever, including new, super-efficient petrol and diesel engines, and lots of equipment you would expect to see on larger luxury cars. There's greater scope for personalisation (a bit like the MINI) too.
