Not sophisticated, doesn't matter. M5 pace for M3 money

Renault has rediscovered its form with a loveable car in a class that lacks them

Everything we wanted a lightweight Italian sports car to be, right down to the traditional Alfa flaws

One of the most focused yet compliant track-minded road cars you can get. Utter witchcraft

The smallest 'proper' Aston, the Vantage manages to fit in full-fat Aston goodness

Kia builds a hot hatch. It's really rather decent. Swift, comfy, affordable - and just sporty enough.

Another unique niche: elegantly flexible and highly desirable, we're sold on the CLS

Nice-looking Vauxhall mini-MPV has a neat interior and that's about it. Can't hold a candle to a Yeti

More elegant than the Golf Cabrio despite that folding hard-top. Eos is a decent, cheaper alternative to something like a 4 Series Convertible

The Zafira turns premium with a sleek look and super-luxurious interior - but has prices to match

The A4 in a prettier frock. If style matters, go right ahead, but don't think you're getting a better car...

Seriously expensive for a compact crossover SUV, but delivers a little taste of luxury

Latest offering from Jeep has a premium feel and closes the gap on rivals. About time, too

Designed for das autobahn, but works brilliantly just about everywhere. RS6 Avant might be the only car you'd ever need...

Four-door four-seater from Britain's best-known supercar manufacturer

A thug in a suit that loves to go sideways. Old school cool

The best luxury car in the world loses its rear doors, gets a Sport button. Results are surprisingly successful...

A mini-Alfa should be good, right? MiTo has a decent engines, but good value it is not

One of the best-looking cars in the world with a neat electric fabric convertible roof – and this wasn’t some chop-shop drop-top either, the Roadster was designed to be stiff from the outset - says it all really.

Kia has always floundered in this sector, but no more. The Optima is good enough to forgive the so-so name...

Renault appears to have detached itself from reality. Doesn't stop us from thinking the Twizy is genius
