Dacia’s focused relentlessly on building the best value seven-seater – everything else is a bonus

Do you know someone who owns a Jaecoo 5? Offer them a hot beverage and a consoling hug. There, there

A smart looking little supermini that’s as likeable to drive as it no doubt is to live with

Peugeot’s biggest SUV looks the part, has a funky cabin and it’ll comfortably seat seven, too

The third gen 3008 looks tremendous inside and out. But enough to cost more than a Sportage or Kuga?

The latest Mazda CX-5 is a familiar recipe, but has lost some of the verve of its predecessor

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

The Fabia is the dictionary definition of 'easy to live with', or would be if the dictionary catered for phrases as well as words

From generic corporate parts, Citroen has made something likeably honest in its role as a comfy and useful member of your family

The MX-5 dishes out open-air fun at entirely legal speeds and costs peanuts to run. What more could you want?

The Ibiza is a likeable supermini... but it feels a little dated and struggles to stand out alongside its sibling rivals

Quirky, comfortable hatchback and cheaper than most rivals. Perhaps the e-C3 is more interesting, though

Surprise, Surprise - big Mercedes is excellent. And far less obnoxious to look at than its closest rival.

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

Fiat's recast 500 is a solid, refined little electric car. But rivals are cheaper and will go further

Superb family all-rounder will politely give rivals a bloody nose

Not as sharply styled as it once was, and its lack of individuality might perturb some. But the car’s core values mostly remain

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

Handsome, luxurious and with the reassurance of Volvo's reputation for safety. What's not to like?

The Bentley Conti GT goes hybrid… and gets better. New found balance and dynamism combine with outstanding waftability
