car reviews

Faster and better handling than the GT, but is it worth the hefty premium?

The Honda Civic brings some welcome colour to a sensible part of the market. Not perfect, but very interesting

Lexus presents a hybrid alternative to the standard premium-crossover fare

City cars aren’t dead yet - the i10 is grown-up, comfy and loaded with kit

Does the world really need a GT4 RS? Yes, yes it does. You can tell Porsche wants to build these cars while it still can

Buy it for the looks and lifestyle, then put up with the flaws. Likeable, but irrational

Still feels like the odd one out in the BMW family. Roomy and well-appointed, but doesn’t drive well enough or offer clever solutions for family motoring

A very competitive posh crossover, but it fumbles some of Audi's traditional strengths

Proof that electric planes really will happen. A beautifully serene way to travel

Tangibly more practical and interesting than a 308, this is SUVs done properly

Second generation A1 is the cheapest way into Audi ownership. Rivals have it licked on driving manners, though

More street savvy than most alternatives, a pick-up that can work hard, play hard and take whatever you throw at it

An appreciation chariot for the glory of naturally aspirated V10 engines. Sensible, yet a massive event

There are few crossovers as car-like to drive, but the lack of hybrid options might count against it

A massively practical VW that isn’t an SUV. Benefits greatly from its new MQB platform

Your classic flawed hero. Genesis’ 3 Series Touring/A4 Avant rival has its work cut out

It's comfy, it drives well, it's got performance *and* eco options... There's really not much to criticise

The Continental R is a luxury four-seater from the grand old days when they didn't try to be sports cars

An oddball but undeniably interesting bit of badge-swapping history. And doesn't it look great still?

An icon of the sports saloon world. Still irresistibly suave 25 years after it first launched

The Jimny’s ultra-honest unpretentiousness is the antidote to every beige crossover. Don’t expect sophistication, and you’ll adore it
