8/10CaterhamSeven£18,689 – £43,000Brilliant, fearsomely potent, and never less than addictive to drive.
9/10MazdaMX-5£19,000 – £29,310A great examplar for keeping a car's mechanicals simple. The MX-5 provides fun at entirely legal speeds
6/10MiniConvertible£19,860 – £30,365A cute, fine little convertible. Although the emphasis is on the little: the boot is tiny and the interior packaging is odd.
8/10ToyotaGT86£26,495 – £32,164The simplest and most exciting Toyota in years is also a real pleasure to drive
6/10MorganPlus 4£35,400 – £43,200Judged appropriately, the Plus 4 is a charming tonic to the grumpy, cynical modern world
7/10AudiA5 Cabriolet£37,330 – £57,050It’s a seductive car, the new A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler. But what an ownership proposition.
8/10LotusElise£39,720 – £48,220If you really, truly care about driving, the Lotus Elise is about as obvious an answer as water being wet and fire being hot
