9/10McLaren650S Spider£215,275Drives every bit as crisply as the Coupe, but with added volume and drama
9/10Ferrari488 Spider£203,216A deeply desirable drop-top that also advances the sports car arms race.

9/10Porsche911 Cabriolet£81,852 – £156,381The soft-top 911 is just as brilliant as the coupe, just a pity about those new turbocharged engines.

8/10PorscheCayenne£55,665 – £99,291The Cayenne remains the king of driver-friendly SUVs. A very complete machine
8/10Porsche718 Boxster£41,739 – £50,695Character has suffered, but the rest of the 718 Boxster package is spot on.
8/10BentleyBentayga£136,200 – £231,400The luxury SUV bar has been raised. Bentley's bold claims are justified.

8/10MaseratiLevante£56,500 – £93,000Enjoyable enough to drive, manages to be alternative without being oddball
8/10VolkswagenTouareg£36,640 – £56,965The VW faces an uphill struggle against brand laden rivals, but is actually just as good.
