It’s a compact executive car frenzy this month, as we get behind the wheel of the all-new BMW 3 Series and facelifted Audi A4 for the first time. We also get to drive the 2012 editions of the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 4 and Range Rover Sport, as well as the new SsangYong Korando and Renault Clio Gordini 106.

Vauxhall’s sexy new Astra GTC goes head to head against the Volkswagen Scirocco and Porsche’s Panamera Diesel grand tourer meets the Jaguar XJ – which one wins in the ultimate limo stakes? There’s also road tests of the Fiat Punto Evo Sporting 1.6 MultiJet, Jaguar XF 3.0 V6 Diesel S Portfolio, Kia Rio 2 1.1 CRDi EcoDynamics, Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 CDI BlueEfficiency Sport, Renault Megane GT Line dCi 110 Eco and Volkswagen Passat CC GT 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Technology. In Eco Car, we drive the new Lexus GS 450h too.

If there’s Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket, then don’t miss our valuable guide to suspension upgrades, and this month’s used car buyers guide is for the MINI Cooper D.
