8/10BMW3 Series Touring£33,840 – £49,470For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we could use or want
8/10BMW4 Series Coupe£34,490 – £51,130Less inviting to own than a Mercedes C-coupe, but scores points with excellent driving dynamics, a strong range, well laid-out cabin and class-best infotainment.
8/10AudiA6£39,110 – £76,310A brilliantly-designed item. Every inch the mini-A8, but not as good to drive as a 5er.
8/10AudiA6 Avant£41,210 – £78,410Another crushingly good effort from Audi. The new A6 Avant is a one-stop shop for family life
7/10AudiA7£47,910 – £85,770This isn’t a luxury sports saloon – it’s a luxury limousine dressed in a rakish, designer suit
7/10AudiA5£34,525 – £56,240Superb design and refinement cloak a nondescript driving experience. Again.
7/10BMW2 Series£25,500 – £39,375Far better looking than the old 1 Series Coupe. Driving and owning qualities mark it out as a real BMW.
6/10AudiA7 Sportback£47,910 – £85,770Great to look at, good to drive. Whoever would have thought a limo-length five-door hatchback/coupe thing would work so well?
6/10LexusIS£33,005 – £44,305Every Lexus trait wrapped up in a tight 3 Series sized package. Superb design, forgettable to drive, probably quite nice to own.
