car reviews

An almost irritatingly complete GT and sports car. Feels like £110k’s worth, top up or top down

The best supermini to drive, and arguably the class leader. But the supermini class isn’t what it once was and the Clio is missing its joie de vivre

The new MG 3 deserves its place at the supermini table. Good to drive, frugal to run, and cheap as they come

While the hybrid UX is a smart, comfortable and efficient family runabout, it's not without its flaws

If you like the mad looks of this second-generation C-HR, there's very little to count against it

Toyota’s latest Camry offers up buckets of hybrid-powered range and an equal amount of comfort to help enjoy it all

Lexus has high hopes for its smallest compact crossover. Smart looks, a premium interior and efficient drive offer plenty of promise

Efficient and interesting to look at, but the Yaris is one for the practical head rather than emotional heart

A stellar EV that’s simple to use and nails the basics. Also no longer mind-numbingly boring to look at. Result

Being useful and affordable is a good way to show up the showboats

The Crosstrek is a proper old school, rufty-tufy, go anywhere small SUV that is sure to appease the Subaru faithful

As unflappable and outrageously quick as ever, but it's a tad more fun this time around

Hyundai's most strident styling yet clothes a car as sensible and well appointed as you'd hope

The Arkana doesn't excel anywhere and ultimately feels too clinical

The Forester is undoubtedly a capable companion, but it’s let down by its pointless hybrid range and dated cabin

The new Kona Electric is just as competent as before, but with more of all the good stuff. Well done Hyundai

A proper Top Gear hero. Seriously overdelivers on the underpromising price...

Hyundai’s upgraded SUV takes on heavyweights and holds its own

Latest CR-V is a sensible family buy and the new PHEV option makes sense for company drivers

While it might not have the visual pizazz of its predecessor, the 11th-generation Honda Civic reminds us it’s what’s inside that counts

Honda’s hybrid powertrain is still impressive, but just get it in the Civic rather than messing about with a heavier, uglier SUV
