  Jaguar S Type Sport 2001 Road Test 9 Apr 2001 (roadtest)
  To anyone who ever drove a Jaguar Mk II 3.4 or 3.8, the new S Type V6 manual is its spiritual reincarnation.   For a start we get flowing retro Jaguar lines, which somehow manage to combine elements of the MkII, the first S Type and even the Mk X. You could argue

  Mini Cooper, Cooper S and Seven (1990 - 2000) (Classics Reviews)
  . An ‘S’ package from John Cooper boosted power to 78bhp. Fuel injection from 1991 increased the power of both types even more, but from 1996, this changed from single- to multi-point with electronic ignition as well.

  MINI Cooper S ALL4 Countryman 2017 Road Test 18 Jan 2017 (roadtest)
  , with entry-level models starting from £22,465 - a hike of £5000. The Cooper S All4 Countryman tested here, will set you back a hefty £26,350, which pitches the MINI crossover straight into the path of the Audi Q2 and Q3.  To be fair to the Countryman , it does

  Suzuki Vitara S 1.4 BoosterJet 2015 Road Test 4 Dec 2015 (roadtest)
  . The infotainment system has a few counter-intuitive screens to get to grips with, but on the whole it’s hard to complain about the Suzuki Vitara’s cabin. From launch the new engine is only available in the new S trim level, which sits at the very top of the Vitara range and adds a variety

  Ford S-MAX 2.0 TDCi 2015 Road Test 11 May 2015 (roadtest)
  If one car has proved that MPVs can be good to drive - it's the Ford S-MAX. What Ford describes as the 'best of both worlds' - those worlds presumably being ones occupied by practicality and keen handling - the S-MAX is more than just a Ford Galaxy with a snazzy wig and make-up on. It's

  Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S 2014 Road Test 23 Jun 2014 (roadtest)
  The supercharged engine of the Nissan Note 1.2DIG-S, isn’t to make it go faster. It’s to avoid tax. So you get a roomy, petrol-engined 5-door hatchback, and you don’t have to pay annual tax on it. The closest rivals I can think

  of harnessing all that power and torque. Maximum speed was 145mph with a 0-60mph time of 6.6 seconds. Owners loved theirs, but many buyers were soon demanding more power - first uprated model was the limited edition Continental S, which upped power to 385bhp. But the 1996 Continental T was the true performance

  Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet (1965 - 1975) (Classics Reviews)
  As well being offered in saloon form with two wheelbases, the W108/W109 S-Class was offered in W111 Coupe form. It was actually a heavily revised version of the previous Fintail coupes, helped in no small part by the fitment of the 2.5-litre straight-six from the 250S/SE. Other improvements

  Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 1.0 BoosterJet 2016 Road Test 21 Sep 2016 (roadtest)
  Usually when a car gets a mid-life refresh, you can’t really tell at a glance. But with the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross, you could be forgiven for thinking it was a completely new model. The front is almost unrecognisable, with a new grille, a different bumper design and redesigned

  of that is down to improved aerodynamics with better sound insulation, along with newly developed front and rear suspension.

  MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works 2008 Road Test 14 Jul 2008 (roadtest)
  On the launch in 2006 we found the original pre-production R56 Cooper S a bit antiseptic. We were promised go-kart handling and we got something with as much feel as a TV remote control. So we said so, and MINI Project Leader Horst Radibojevic seemed to take it to heart. He made sure

  Mercedes Benz Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2005 Road Test 1 Oct 2005 (roadtest)
  Six years into its model life, we have a new Mercedes S-Class. Though it will be more like seven years before the new W221 reaches Britain in March 2006. The current W220 S-Class is to most eyes a beautiful looking car, the svelte lines of which belie its bulk
