car reviews

Crossovers have become the same-iest cars ever. Why not go for one that’s a bit more left field?

Ticks all the rational boxes, but rivals are better to drive and more interesting

Honda's latest HR-V is a decent all-round package with some thoughtful touches

Tidy dynamics and an upmarket cabin make the Mazda 3 a top-notch hatch, even if it is a bit poky

Bigger, but not necessarily better – the new A5 keeps the spirit of the old A4 alive

The new Vauxhall Frontera does a lot right for the price… and for that reason it’s hard to look past the identically priced electric variant

The Vauxhall Frontera Electric stands out for its price parity with the hybrid, but it's got more going for it too

Peugeot’s biggest SUV looks the part, has a funky cabin and it’ll comfortably seat seven, too

MG's on the move – the ZS has come back transformed (and still cheap)

Everything good about the A3 Sportback, just a little less practical. A complete car that won't get on your nerves

A great everyday family car, and possibly the best electric seven-seater yet that isn't silly money

A refined and good looking little car, at home in the city and suburbs. Price a little stiff though

Skoda’s mid-life facelift to the Octavia improves on an already very good car

Everything you need is in the Dacia Duster, and a lot of what you don't, isn't. Good

Skoda’s most desirable family car enters a bold second generation. New styling tinsel hides an otherwise evolutionary step

The newly facelifted Skoda Octavia is the perfect antidote to every SUV out there. Better to look at, better to drive and just as practical

A wonderful package of practicality, refinement and comfort at a reasonable price

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

The third gen 3008 doesn't feel like a revolution. For many, that'll be a win. Refined hybrid powertrain, but ride could be better

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
