car reviews

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

It drives like a McLaren should, but a genuine GT car ought to be more practical

An all-electric Ferrari with a top speed of 50mph, but perhaps the most fun we’ve had behind the wheel of anything all year. The pinnacle of extravagant toys

A car that used to be purely sensible now lets some style into the mix. Not perfect, but wholeheartedly good value for money

BMW’s four-wheel-drive-only four-seat convertible, now with a fabric roof and some serious chops when it comes to going fast. That’ll be the 500+ bhp, then

Veyron's successor is a car that does things no other car can; one with a distinct personality

A fascinating and fast send off to what might be one of the great engines. The 812 Comp is a wild triumph we'll look back on in years to come

Nothing in the BMW range - nor any rival factory - stretches a band across the three legs of drivability, style and practicality like the 4 Series Gran Coupe

A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed

Rear-steering Megane RS has a charm, if you like your hot hatches firm, edgy and demanding attention

Renault mends the bits that needed mending and leaves the bits that didn’t. A big step forwards

Jeep might have taken 30 years to give us the new Grand Wagoneer, but it’s pulled out all the stops to make the best vehicle it could

A lovingly created, better-than-new classic Ferrari, and the most affordable (!) way to get a California Spyder into your life

Citroen's little crossover has a very useful cabin, and it's more individual than many of its ilk. Pity it's not as comfy as billed
