car reviews

BMW brand diversification continues. A pricey people carrier, but a cut above

Nothing wrong with it, apart from being drab and unimaginative, and really not much fun

Peugeot did a decent job with the 107's replacement, but it forgot to add character

Citroen goes back to its roots and gives us something completely different, cheap, cheerful and innovative

Peugeot transfers surprise appeal of the 308 5dr into a practical estate

Not-quite replacement for the 1M Coupe is fast, fun to drive - and a whopping £10,000 cheaper

This is the best family hatch Peugeot has ever made. Smooth, refined, and comfortable

Lexus apes Audi's cabin quality and, more regrettably, Audi's ride quality

Mondeo man has grown up and discovered the finer things in life. Less fun, but more satisfying overall

This is the one they all need to watch out for. VW has finally got serious about the city car

Peugeot can at last lay the ghost of the 205 GTI to rest. This is a very able modern hatch

A fleet-footed boisterous hot hatch that's no longer a one-trick pony

Latest i30 Tourer is just £500 more than the hatchback and arguably looks better, too

We're not quite sure how VW allowed it, but Seat has produced a genuine rival to the Golf here...

Peugeot needed to be bold to regain ground in a sector it once led. The 208 delivers

Renault has rediscovered its form with a loveable car in a class that lacks them

The A4 in a prettier frock. If style matters, go right ahead, but don't think you're getting a better car...

Attractive cabrio variant of the huge Golf range is good looking and good to drive

Sweet-driving, good-looking alternative to the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus

Volkswagen's take on the all-electric family car is, as you'd expect, an extremely convincing one

It's not the car it was, the Renaultsport Clio. Still fast, with a nice chassis, but not a patch on before
