Suffers from exactly the same flaw as every other Infiniti – the only reason you’d buy one is because it’s rare-groove different. Not necessarily better.

If you don't get excited by driving, perfectly acceptable. But there should be something more to it than that, no?

Forgettable engine and transmission in a sporty-looking package. A sheep in wolf’s clothing.

Not the best car in this uninspiring, fleet-orientated end of the segment but a very worthy effort.

It’s brilliant. But only up to a point. Pity. It could be so much better...

Not the most rounded family estate, but the big Pug oozes desirability. Much cooler than a 3 Series

Neither revolutionary in style nor the most exciting to drive, but a very mature car

At last, a small Vauxhall that’s not tedious to drive! Now, just sort out that dated interior

A saloon car for people who don’t really care about/enjoy driving, but quite like big mpg and a nice stereo

The Peugeot 508 SW is a better car than the Citroen C5 Tourer it shares its chassis with.

A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed

A cute, fine little convertible. Although the emphasis is on the little: the boot is tiny and the interior packaging is odd.

Every Lexus trait wrapped up in a tight 3 Series sized package. Superb design, forgettable to drive, probably quite nice to own.

It’s a seductive car, the new A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler. But what an ownership proposition.

Beautifully built and beautiful to look at. But the A4 is 98 per cent as good, cheaper and less pretentious.

A likeable thing. Go for a higher powertrain and it makes most sense.

The new Kuga is safer and roomier than before. Less fun, but a better family car

Softer and a little disappointing: the new RS isn’t what it was. Still fun, but we hoped for more…

It's a sizeable leap, and enough to shove the Polo up to the upper reaches of the supermini order.

Facelifted Audi Roadster features revised engines, tweaked visuals – and very little amusement

Well thought out, versatile and thoroughly decent family estate. The weeniest bit boring

Cheery and characterful, the new Clio is a genuinely appealing supermini.
