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

The Mk4 Skoda Superb is the Czech firm’s best effort yet. Get one while you still can

If you're looking for a wonderful and straightforward super saloon, step this way

The latest Corolla covers all the bases and even looks sharp, but offers little else
