car reviews

Interior furnishing and screen systems take priority over how it drives. Many love it for that, but not us

An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness

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

An imperious cruiser, best sampled with vast quantities of diesely torque. Now with better tech and still available in bonkers SVR form

Practical, comfortable and premium. A fantastic large estate from Skoda

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

The X6-by-Benz is much better than the old one, but doesn’t enjoy life around town

It's easy to see why this is many people's default hot hatch

A coupe that majors on comfort and luxury. Unless you go for the C63 AMG, in which case it's NUTS

Mercedes nails it. The C-Class cabrio is pleasant to drive but majors on open-top relaxation

There's nothing quite like it on sale. A proper continent-crusher

The latest version of the car that defined the premium hatch sector stays classy

BMW X1 review: by going transverse-engined the X1 has become technically less distinctive, but more useful in the real world.

It’s the car that Top Gear staffers tend to recommend when asked ‘what should I buy?’ more often than anything else.

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

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

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
