car reviews

The RS5 belongs to a world hell bent on disguising mass rather than stripping it out… nonetheless, it’s got spades of bandwidth

There’s life in the executive estate yet. Simpler than a 5 Series, cheaper to buy and run than an SUV, just needs an excitement injection

AMG reinvents the GT as more of a… GT. Quick, composed, versatile and keeps the thunderous V8 alive a little longer

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we want or need. For the final one per cent there is the M3 Touring

A coupe that'll warm the hearts of traditionalists, but it's a little too closely aligned to the bigger 4 Series Coupe

Very, very convincing. Handsome, luxurious, balming and stately. But awesome to drive too

Bigger, but not necessarily better – the new A5 keeps the spirit of the old A4 alive

A facelift for the Model 3 comes just in the nick of time to nudge it back ahead of rivals

The most powerful M5 ever. And the least exciting. Hybrid powertrain robs this hefty bruiser of natural delicacy

High technology and sumptuous luxury merge in spectacular fashion to deliver a car that lights the way forward

Had enough of the family SUV? The E-Class proves there’s still plenty of life in the estate

Latest generation of the ultimate American go-anywhere 4x4 is the most authentic thing Jeep makes. Off-roaders don’t get gnarlier than this

The latest 5 Series is every bit as brilliant as its predecessor. As you were...

Sound the fanfare, it's a rear-drive Alfa that's rather good indeed. Updated tech helps too

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

It's a BMW 5 Series: very refined, great to drive and features loads of tech

It’s a seductive car, the A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, it’s still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler

One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

Alfa's love letter to the fast saloon doesn't make rational sense, but it doesn't matter: it's very, very special
