car reviews

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

Jaguar’s little crossover is broadly competitive but loses out overall to Volvo's XC40

Don’t fancy a German four-door? There’s an updated, eccentric Italian alternative... but you need to really want one.

The Elva is an acquired taste but an unbelievable experience. A showcase in cross-pollinating eccentricity and engineering in the search of speed

The most convincing DS. Tried all the German best-sellers? Here’s a thoughtful alternative

The first true pure-electric hypercar is a sensation, as is the company that makes it

812 Superfast not crazy enough? Step this way, brave billionaires. One seat or two?

As an experience, the mighty V12-engined Vulcan is hard to beat. A sensational machine

A hypercar in an evening suit, the One-77 is Aston Martin at its very best

Aston builds the hypercar the Eighties never had. The Victor is possibly the finest one-off ever created

The one-off Cygnet V8 is the most hilarious city car in history. Exuberant and entertaining. It’s… properly British

Of course Aston’s £765,000 open-air chariot makes no sense. Didn’t stop us wanting a go…

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

The GTD is quicker and more sporting than ever. But will anyone pick it over the more powerful GTE?

Alfa's love letter to the fast saloon doesn't make rational sense, but it doesn't matter: it's very, very special

The car with the world’s most bonkers rear wing is crude, sure, but not without its charms

The culmination of decades of work for Toyota, but it's for very specialist cases and hydrogen cheerleaders only

An ageing but suave Italian limo that's the nearest thing you can get to a four-door Ferrari

Judge it as a taller, fatter Golf R and it's very good. But it's flawed family transport

A curious mix of speed and efficiency with a big dollop of comfort. It's just not especially fun

Much improved with new interior and smoother engines, The finest big wagon to drive
