It’s been two months since we’ve had the Mercedes-Benz B250 as our prime family car, enough time to know whether or not it’s indeed a worthwhile investment. In our last update we pointed out the enormous safety features of the B250, in this...
Like so many big, capable-looking four-wheel-drive SUVs with marketing campaigns spruiking their adventurous spirit and inexhaustible ability, our Hyundai Santa Fe long-termer has spent most of its first two months cooped up in the city...
The Mercedes-Benz B250 is a hard car to classify. Technically it’s a small car, but it has the rear legroom of a limousine. It’s not quite billed as a hot hatch but is powered by a 155kW turbocharged engine.
The Hyundai Sante Fe has become the latest member of CarAdvice’s long-term test fleet. We liked the South Korean brand’s new-generation large SUV when we sampled it at its official local launch, and now we have a number of months to get to...

Lexus is clearly aiming to make a big splash with the launch of the fourth generation Lexus GS range, with a 'more for less' approach to its pricing strategy. Set to arrive in Lexus showrooms in April this year, the new mid size GS range will...

Lexus GS450h Review Long Term Update OK, I know it’s a hybrid, which are supposed to be all about improved fuel economy and less harmful emissions and all that, but with a rocket launching 275Nm of instant torque on tap from the millisecond you...
