car reviews

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

One of those classic ‘nice if you like to stand out from the herd’ cars. More relaxed than sporting, but will anyone notice?

If you want a van that’s unusually civilised, then this will make those long days at work a heck of a lot easier

Practical, comfortable and premium. A fantastic large estate from Skoda

It’s a seductive car, the A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, it’s still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler

Alter your expectations of speed and the RX-8 can still feel special. But buy one with care...

One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar

Superb design and refinement cloak a nondescript driving experience. Again

If sheer refinement is what matters to you in a luxury car, this is the new champion. The EQS fuses Merc’s old school lux with new-age propulsion

The Kona N isn't without compromise, but few performance crossovers feel as close to a hot hatchback as this

The Tarraco is a roomy, good-looking seven-seater and probably the poshest Seat ever

Audi revitalises the SQ8. By fitting a less efficient, less charismatic engine. But still, at least it’s not diesel

A true Nineties hero. And one that’s just as much fun to drive now as the day it was born

Don’t let that drama, stridency and raucousness deceive you. Underneath, the STO really knows its way around a circuit

One of the cheapest routes into Ferrari ownership since new. Don't misjudge it, though - it's still bewitching

Singer's Dynamics and Lightweighting Study is indulgent, rewarding and intense, an even bigger step on from one of their normal restorations than we’d expected

If you have a big family and aren't dead-set on a crossover, go look at an S-Max. Not glam, but good to drive and hugely practical

What do you get for someone who has everything? A soft-top off-roading speedboat, that’s what

The Volvo S90 does things differently from its German rivals, which is exactly why we like it so much

Suzuki's funkiest product has had the funk dialed down a bit by newly pragmatic hybrid versions

Perhaps the most sensible and straight-laced SUV on sale. Which might just be exactly what you're looking for
