car reviews

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

Had enough of the family SUV? The E-Class proves there’s still plenty of life in the estate

The new MG 3 deserves its place at the supermini table. Good to drive, frugal to run, and cheap as they come

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

Honestly? The new X2 doesn’t feel like a car BMW spent spent much time or love on

The fast Fiesta is more grown up in all the ways you’d want, marginally less chuckable than before, but still hilarious

A likeable Swiss Army knife. Used to be a bit bland but it now stands out and will shrug off anything thrown at it

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

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

An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness

A capable answer to a question nobody should be asking

Success in a hatch isn't just about the drive. The Focus has the rest of the bases well covered too

Lexus presents a hybrid alternative to the standard premium-crossover fare

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

An enormously well-rounded true four-seat cabrio… but open cars are all about style. Does this have the right kind?

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

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

A thoroughly capable family car that handles far better than it really needs to

A coupe that majors on comfort and luxury. Unless you go for the C63 AMG, in which case it's NUTS
