9/10NissanGT-R£81,805 – £172,805The cheapest way into this kind of speed you can find. Awe-inspiring in many ways and a living legend to boot.
5/10ToyotaLand Cruiser£33,425 – £53,650If you live in the desert, the Land Cruiser is as good as it gets. But seeing as we don't, the Discovery is a much better bet
4/10ToyotaLand Cruiser V8£33,425 – £53,650Capable, dependable, and civilised. Pity about the styling: it’s brash outside and too reminiscent of a Corolla within.
6/10NissanX-Trail£30,555 – £34,260A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas
7/10ToyotaC-HR£29,940 – £32,420The looks are polarising, but if you want it, you’ll really really want it.
6/10ToyotaC-HR£29,940 – £32,420C-HR handles well and looks quirky, but hybrid and infotainment systems let the package down
7/10Nissan370Z£27,805 – £38,305Tail-happy dynamics and a meaty V6 powerplant. Don't let the TC spoil your fun
8/10ToyotaGT86£26,495 – £32,164The simplest and most exciting Toyota in years is also a real pleasure to drive
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
6/10ToyotaCorolla£23,985 – £31,210The Corolla is back, looking better than ever, but still short on fun
3/10NissanPulsar£16,340 – £18,110A perfectly able family hatchback that brings absolutely nothing new to the sector. Why, Nissan?
7/10NissanJuke£14,935 – £25,170The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland
6/10NissanMicra£13,875 – £22,385It's engine range isn't class leading, but overlook that and the Micra is a massively improved contender
6/10ToyotaYaris£13,315 – £18,355A far-reaching facelift has improved it, but it's still not a match for the class best. At least you can now justify it.
6/10ToyotaAygo£9,640 – £15,245Toyota has changed more about the little Aygo than you might think, but the dull and rather small cabin keeps it behind the best of the rest
