8/10BentleyContinental GT£140,300 – £212,500Perhaps the world’s best pure GT, despite losing a little traditional Bentley charm.
8/10BentleyMulsanne£229,360 – £288,345More fun to drive than the Rolls Phantom, the Mulsanne is brilliant, so long as you’re on the inside.
8/10BentleyBentayga£135,800 – £232,000The luxury SUV bar has been raised. Bentley's bold claims are justified.
7/10BentleyContinental GTC£154,400 – £233,800Top class. The GT in the Conti's name is there for a reason.
7/10KiaCarens£17,995 – £27,095It’s handsome, well-built and pleasant, with Kia’s monster warranty an added draw.
7/10Kiapro_cee'd GT£17,590 – £22,955A well-considered first effort from Kia: a hot hatch nicely suited to the everyday real world.
7/10KiaPicanto£8,290 – £13,800Another string to Kia’s ever more impressive bow, the Picanto is a fun and interesting city car.
7/10KiaCee'd£15,110 – £24,590Second-gen Kia Cee’d aims to move the game on further and present a compelling VW Golf alternative.
6/10KiaCee'd Sportswagon£18,330 – £25,140The Kia Cee'd is the car that lobs the paving slab of reality into the windscreen of preconception. It might be a straight clone of a Toyota/Ford/VW hatch, but it’s a damn good one.
6/10KiaOptima£21,440 – £33,940Forget the Magentis, this is a big Kia that's actually appealing. But so too is the cheaper Hyundai i40...
6/10KiaPro_cee'd£17,590 – £22,955It won't trouble the cream of the three-door hatch brigade, but it's a mighty good effort, and looks fantastic.
6/10KiaSoul£12,565 – £30,440New Soul puts practicality to the fore, but in other areas less progress has been made.
6/10KiaSportage£18,240 – £32,220It's caught up to the Qashqai, but struggles to move the game on past Nissan's cash-cow.
6/10KiaStinger£31,140 – £39,240A credible first ever sports saloon from Kia. Interesting to look at, and huge value for money. Needs a better gearbox though.
4/10KiaVenga£12,540 – £19,115As sensible and tasty as a dry cracker. A decent enough car, perhaps one for the Freedom Pass brigade.
