Audi blends conventional A3 with futuristic drive tech to create its answer to the BMW i3

There are better all-rounders, but idiosyncrasy and charm mark it out

B is for better: this latest B-Class is a big improvement over previous iterations

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

It may be a baby crossover for the fashion conscious but it's all Range Rover at heart

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

Good to drive and more versatile than a standard 5-Series, but the 5GT remains one of BMW's biggest mistakes. Buy a 5-Series Touring instead

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

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

Nice-looking Vauxhall mini-MPV has a neat interior and that's about it. Can't hold a candle to a Yeti

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

Designed for das autobahn, but works brilliantly just about everywhere. RS6 Avant might be the only car you'd ever need...

Latest offering from Jeep has a premium feel and closes the gap on rivals. About time, too

Sorento's key draw is space and value for money. As a cut-price Disco alternative, we like it.

All-new Golf Estate doesn't just look much better: it's now one of the family estate sector's best buys

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

Volvo's V60 demonstrates that the car can still be the choice of transport in the future
