car reviews

Uh oh, Nissan has gone from an EV pioneer to a lazy plagiarist. The Micra is a good car, but only because it's an imitation of a brilliant one

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

Interesting in design inside and out and supremely practical. There isn’t much the Hyundai Santa Fe can’t do

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?

This isn't just a retro pastiche. The 5 is almost as joyful to use as it is to look at. Strong value cements the appeal

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

Y’know the Clio, yeah? Like that. But bigger. Roomier. And more expensive

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

A coupe that'll warm the hearts of traditionalists, but it's a little too closely aligned to the bigger 4 Series Coupe

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

A quirky looking, refined little car, at home in the city and suburbs. The price is a little stiff though

MG's on the move – the ZS has come back transformed (and still cheap)

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

The electric 500 convertible is compromised, but that won't diminish its appeal to fans

Vauxhall upgrades its mainstream hatch, makes a very competent Focus rival. Definitely worth considering

The 500 looks tempting and fun where so many cars in this segment are drab.

Not as good to drive as we hoped, but the interior design and space makes up for it. Solid effort

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

This is the best family hatch Peugeot has ever made. Smooth, refined, and comfortable

A fleet-footed boisterous hot hatch that's no longer a one-trick pony
