  Review: BMW R Nine T Urban G/S (productReview)
  We’ve become used to the GS being a massive part of BMW’s motorcycle line-up, but this model is a little different as it goes back to the original G/S nomenclature. That slash in the title is a throwback to the original Gelande Strasse from 1980, though the R NineT Urban G/S’s styling

  Suzuki S-Cross (2022 on) (Reviews)
  , but at the other end of the scale there's the half-hearted rebadged Toyotas, the Swace and Across .  So where does the Suzuki S-Cross fit in? Well

  Ford S-MAX (2015 on) (Reviews)
  Launched in 2015, the current Ford S-MAX picked up where the old S-MAX left off by offering something different in the shrinking MPV segment. It's been mildly updated a couple of times since, and as of late 2021 the S-MAX has become hybrid -only

  Tesla Model S (2014 on) (Reviews)
  We used to be asked if we’d driven a *(insert supercar of choice here) whenever mentioning our work testing cars here at Honest John. That’s changed since Tesla arrived, and not just because the Model S has the ability to smoke most supercars when it comes to its accelerative

  Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2021 on) (Reviews)
  The Mercedes S-Class has been the definition of premium automotive opulence for decades, rightfully considered one of the bext luxury cars available. It has always had presence and power, the best in materials and comfort

  Toyota Verso S (2011 - 2013) (Reviews)
  Toyota Verso S mini MPV launched Paris Motor Show 30-9-2010 to fill the gap left by the Toyota Yaris Verso and the Toyota Ractis that never arrived in Europe.

  Ford S-MAX (2006 - 2015) (Reviews)
  The Ford S-MAX is one of the best family cars around, combining a large and practical cabin with a fun and rewarding drive. Admittedly, it lacks some of the high tech toys of its rivals, but Ford's seven-seater leads the way when it comes to handling, refinement and ride quality

  Jaguar S-type (1999 - 2007) (Classics Reviews)
  level 2.5 V6 would follow) or 281bhp 4.0-litre V8 (replaced by a 4.2 V8). Later, a supercharged 400bhp 4.2-litre V8 would arrive in the S-type R (along with a host of dynamic upgrades). At the time, the styling divided opinion. Honest John called it the 'spiritual reincarnation' of the Mk2

  Honda S-MX (1995 - 2000) (Classics Reviews)
  The Honda S-MX (or SMX) is a Japanese Minivan. It has two rows of bench seats and can accommodate up to five passengers. In a bid to maximise interior space, the traditional floor-mounted gearbox has been replaced by a column-mounted shift. Only available
• 
  Hyundai S Coupe (1990 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
  Based on the Elantra and powered by Mitsubishi mechanicals, the Hyundai S Coupe (or Scoop) is something of a curiosity. From unremarkable beginnings, it would go on to pave the way for one of the Korean manufacturer’s most popular models. Bland styling was coupled
• 
  TVR V8-S (1990 - 1994) (Classics Reviews)
  The V8-S was a case of history releating itself. It was basically a case of taking an existing V6 product (the excellent S-Series roadster) and installing a tuned Rover V8 under the bonnet to create a very fast - and desirable - sports car. This is exactly the process that Peter Wheeler followed
• 
  Nissan S-Cargo (1989 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
  The Nissan S-Cargo was a wonderfully styled (and named!) small van that was based on the K10 Micra and built by the Pike Factory. It was inspired by the Citroën 2CV van, and even featured a single spoke steering wheel. The S-Cargo was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989, and went

  Jaguar XJ-S (1975 - 1996) (Classics Reviews)
  It must have been a tense moment when the covers came off the Jaguar XJ-S in 1975. After all, this was the car that was supposed to replace the iconic E-type. It was no surprise, then, that buyers were left scratching their heads. Why, they questioned, was it so big, ugly and clearly set
• 
  Jaguar S-type (1963 - 1968) (Classics Reviews)
  The story of Jaguar’s Mk2 family is complicated - the original Mk1 was transformed into the Mk2 before being re-jigged into the 240/340. There were also two further offshoots, the similar looking S-type and the 420 (and let's not forget the V8 engined Daimler versions

  Audi TT S 2018 Road Test 20 Jul 2018 (roadtest)
  1.8-litre 180PS petrol engine has been replaced by a 2.0-litre in the entry-level TT, while the 230PS version has had power boosted to 245PS. For now, the TT S is topping the range (an updated TT RS will follow) and, while power has dropped to 306PS (from 310PS) thanks to a new petrol

  MINI Cooper S 2018 Road Test 4 Jun 2018 (roadtest)
  reckoned that by the time I could drive I’d probably be able to afford a used one. Over the years I eventually owned a Mini van with trick suspension, a Mini based Wolseley Hornet and a Mini 1000. My brother had a Mini van with a 1,293cc Mini Cooper S engine. Our neighbour had a succession of Mini

  MINI Cooper S 2014 Road Test 17 Apr 2014 (roadtest)
  MINI can't be accused of not knowing what it's doing. Nor can you say that the company doesn't know its customer base - so when you see that the latest incarnation of the Cooper S has a rather evolutionary look, you can be sure it's for a very good reason

  Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
  The old chestnut of who builds the best luxury saloon in the world is somewhat moot nowadays when there are some that go so far beyond anything the mainstream Mercedes S-Class can offer. Even Mercedes does this with its Maybach model, yet the S-Class still has a claim on this title

  Jaguar XFR-S 2013 Road Test 15 Sep 2013 (roadtest)
  car but, whether to keep up with the Germans or otherwise, there’s now an XFR-S, with more power, handling tweaks and tougher styling. It’s still a luxuriously appointed four-door saloon though. It has the same theatrical air vent operation as any other XF and a similarly

  Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2013 - 2021) (Reviews)
  Squint at the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross and you’ll see a few similarities to the Nissan Qashqai . That’s not a huge surprise – the Nissan is a best-seller and it was the benchmark against which the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross was measured
