Latest Road Tests from Verdict On Cars

Recommended. Saab may have successfully untangled itself from GM's ownership, but the American giant's fingerprints are all over the new 9-5. We find out if the most important Saab in a decade can still compete.

Recommended. Infinitis are still not a common sight on the UK's roads, but this G Coupe is a worthy contender to the established German rivals

Average. Nissan has aimed its diminutive crossover at an imaginative new niche, but can it replicate the success of the all-conquering Qashqai?

Recommended. A massive and practical people carrier that offers a decent range of optional toys, but the looks and drive are anything but exciting.

Average. A cheap-and-cheerful roadster that will appeal to those that want to look a bit different, but don't demand an engaging drive

Recommended. The Audi A1 has supreme build quality, luxury and technology to match the Mini - and a proper sized boot. But the styling is conservative and driving experience uninspiring.

Average. Despite some flaws and a high price, the Mulsanne is a sumptuously impressive experience.

Not recommended. The 5 Series Grand Tourer is BMW's Millennium Dome: big, expensive and rather pointless.

Recommended. Volvo's new S60 might not be quite good enough to weaken the German stranglehold on the premium saloon market, but it's a worthy effort and marks a return to form for the manufacturer.

Average. The Ibiza is a competent and agreeable supermini even if it doesn't quite live up to those sleek and sporty looks on the road.
