9/10FordFocus£20,460 – £31,585This Focus, if you get the better rear suspension, is the sweetest drive in the mainstream hatch class
8/10FordFocus Estate£21,640 – £32,785A thoroughly capable family car that handles far better than it really needs to
7/10FordFocus ST£20,460 – £31,585A fantastic everyday proposition, a hot hatch that's easy to live with. Mostly for good
7/10BMW8 Series£68,755 – £117,350If you *really* like BMWs, then the 8 Series is great. But it's less special than its rivals
7/10JeepWrangler£38,620 – £48,120If you ‘get’ the Wrangler, this one’s easier to live with than ever before and just as easy to love. If you don’t, there’s always the Skoda Kodiaq
7/10FordFocus ST£20,460 – £31,585A fun car with a practical side, but no longer one of the sharpest hot hatches on sale
7/10BMWX7£70,980 – £109,660The X7 is BMW's biggest and most luxurious SUV, and it wants to be noticed
6/10MitsubishiOutlander PHEV£28,050 – £44,170It’s brilliant. But only up to a point. Pity. It could be so much better...
6/10SsangyongRexton£27,125 – £37,125A giant, kitted out seven-seat 4x4 for the price of a top-spec Qashqai. Only apply if you like your driving rufty-tufty
6/10LexusES£34,980 – £45,460A saloon car for people who don’t really care about/enjoy driving, but quite like big mpg and a nice stereo
6/10BMWX6£58,430 – £75,000All-new third-generation X6 is easy to drive quickly, but not as rewarding as we'd hoped
5/10MitsubishiOutlander£28,050 – £44,170If you don't get excited by driving, perfectly acceptable. But there should be something more to it than that, no?
5/10LexusRC£39,975 – £46,390Forgettable engine and transmission in a sporty-looking package. A sheep in wolf’s clothing.
4/10Hyundaii800£25,585 – £27,985Failed your family planning classes? You need a Hyundai i800. More budget airline than captain's chair, but needs must.
