car reviews

Honestly? The new X2 doesn’t feel like a car BMW spent spent much time or love on

Hugely comfortable, impressively equipped and assured to drive. The new C-Class ticks a lot of boxes

A terrific car, a genuine exponent of light weight and something pleasingly different to drive

The Crosstrek is a proper old school, rufty-tufy, go anywhere small SUV that is sure to appease the Subaru faithful

Eccentric and a little expensive in PHEV form, yet easier to want than its rivals

If you want to experience the best chassis in the business, it's here. And thankfully the 6cyl is back, too

Desirable, yet frustrating. Expensive. It's truly niche

If you can make use of it, there's nothing to match it

Mercedes takes the ponderous GLC SUV, removes practicality and charges more for it. Hmm...

Not as complete as a Skoda Superb, but the world’s a better place with zany French wagons

The Euro-spec, fifth-gen Sportage strikes a neat balance between practicality and style. Like the looks? You'll be a fan

Hyundai's most strident styling yet clothes a car as sensible and well appointed as you'd hope

One of the most complete sports cars ever created. Beautiful to drive, and bulletproof to live with

An electric car that behaves like a good old-fashioned hatchback. We rather like that

The Arkana doesn't excel anywhere and ultimately feels too clinical

The electric Astra's still not hugely exciting, but it’s another big step towards EVs becoming the mainstream

Merc’s second crack at a small coupe-ish estate car based on a hatchback… is a good’un

Sure, the Honda Accord is about as exciting as oatmeal, but as a quiet, comfortable, efficient daily driver, you could do much, much worse

Not a bad effort from Mercedes. Even if the Disco Sport is more likeable and Kodiaq more practical

Land Rover stuck to a winning formula with the introduction of the second generation Evoque, and it remains a stylish, accomplished choice

A big French hatch might be an oddball choice, but the 508 looks bold, feels good and drives (mostly) well
