car reviews

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

The Highlander suffers mainly from an excess of middle-of-the-road. It’s fine. But fine isn’t quite good enough

GT motoring at its finest. A fabulous, relaxing cruiser... once you've gotten used to its eccentricities

Sportier Sportback does well to not compromise on practicality, but you’ll pay a premium for odd looks

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.

A perfectly reasonable car for people who aren’t interested in cars

Taut, direct and surprisingly old-school hot hatch from a very forward-looking company

Everything you'd ever need from a posh saloon, except just a little flash of soul
