car reviews

Enormously practical and built for family life, the Berlingo does all you could realistically ask of it

Among an abundance of small SUVs, the 2008, with its eye-catching looks and great interior tech, is one of the most interesting

The Mk4 Skoda Superb is the Czech firm’s best effort yet. Get one while you still can

A comprehensive little supermini that holds its own against the competition

A great looking car with a myriad of drivetrain options. Shame the Skoda Octavia exists

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but it won’t tug your heartstrings

A £75k Kia? Yes, the world's arrived here, but the EV9 does plenty to justify a once-fanciful price

Crossover'd A-Class is an improvement on the old one and will no doubt sell very well. But a GLB is the better choice

Makes no promises it cannot keep, and absolutely nails the brief Dacia set for it: simple, spacious motoring for pennies on the pound. Now with added refinement

Interior furnishing and screen systems take priority over how it drives. Many love it for that, but not us

A capable answer to a question nobody should be asking

Buy it for the looks and lifestyle, then put up with the flaws. Likeable, but irrational

The electric 500 convertible is compromised, but that won't diminish its appeal to fans

Practical, comfortable and premium. A fantastic large estate from Skoda

It’s a seductive car, the A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, it’s still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler

It's easy to see why this is many people's default hot hatch

Vauxhall upgrades its mainstream hatch, makes a very competent Focus rival. Definitely worth considering

Like your cars straightforward, fuss-free, and practical? You’ll really like this. (Very) quietly excellent without ever being memorable.

Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape

About as painless to drive and own as a family car gets. The Tucson ain’t interesting, but it’s very good all the same

The 500 looks tempting and fun where so many cars in this segment are drab.
