Peugeot 308 review: fresh design inside and out, with tip-top execution, plenty of tech and better handling

It's a BMW 5 Series: very refined, great to drive and features loads of tech

The V60 is a sensible, safe Volvo, just as you’d expect. The estate car of choice if comfort (and style) means more to you than handling

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

A Good Car. Perhaps not quite as much of an all-rounder as a BMW 5 Series Touring, but the A6 Avant is still preferable to the majority of big five-seat SUVs

Makes a broadly good first impression with its S-Class-grade tech and comfy cabin. Final verdict to come once we've driven a UK car

This is finally the spicier Arteon we've been waiting for

A very well-rounded, complete, comfortable car with a calming temperament that makes it a pleasure to waft about in.

The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport

Is a sleeker estate the new must-have niche? Kia thinks so…

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

Much improved with new interior and smoother engines, The finest big wagon to drive

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.

Might not have the hustle of a BMW 3 Series Touring, but it’s got high-quality and refinement on its side

Not as much fun as a Focus Estate, but more comfortable, practical and very well thought out. Looks the part, too.

This reworked RS4 shows how committed RS GmbH is to creating cars of real character. A bit uptight, mind

Merc’s second crack at a small coupe-ish estate car based on a hatchback… is a good’un

As useful as cars get below about £20k. But as joyful? Um...

Audi’s fast five-door family estate now has more brains to go with all that brawn, making it a consummate all-rounder

The RS6 hasn't changed all that much since the first one. Good

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we could use or want
