The spacious new BMW X1 gets MPV vibes, but a coarse petrol and dopey 'box let it down. Avoid these and get the iX1

One of the automotive woodland's great oaks. Stronger, crispier and all-roundier than ever before

With its good looks, well-judged handling and competitive pricing, the Ateca remains among the best of its ilk

Spain’s strongest attempt to out-Golf the Golf yet. A stylish, well-equipped and cheaper version of its German cousin

BMW may have made the switch to front-wheel drive, but the 1 Series doesn’t suffer (too much) because of it

Nothing in the BMW range - nor any rival factory - stretches a band across the three legs of drivability, style and practicality like the 4 Series Gran Coupe

Life's pretty great inside the new 4, not just because you don't have to look at it

The Leon Cupra has come of age. The mix of civility and pace is as good as anything out there

Far from M Division’s finest hour. Flashy and fast, but you couldn’t live with this ride

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

BMW brand diversification continues. A pricey people carrier, but a cut above

Not-quite replacement for the 1M Coupe is fast, fun to drive - and a whopping £10,000 cheaper

We're not quite sure how VW allowed it, but Seat has produced a genuine rival to the Golf here...

New 5 Series is even better than the old 5 Series. Brilliant, then. As you were...

Rivals challenge the 4 Series in individual areas, but struggle to replicate its all-rounder appeal.
