car reviews

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

Ferrari California T-take two. It's boosted in more ways than one now: a vastly improved car

Peugeot needed to be bold to regain ground in a sector it once led. The 208 delivers

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

Marred as the whipping boy of the VW Group, Seat has produced a highly credible MPV

Sorento's key draw is space and value for money. As a cut-price Disco alternative, we like it.

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

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

Pagani's follow-up to the Zonda is absolutely breathtaking

Second generation Cee'd estate illustrates the fast-developing maturity of the Korean giant. Near premium-look alternative to the Focus and Golf.

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

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

Simply enormous van-people-carrier thing from deepest Korea. Masses of room for eight, but sadly with all the on-road prowess you’d expect from something with the exterior dimensions of a bijou flat.

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

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

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

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

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

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

With the Astra GTC Coupe, Vauxhall offers a stellar combination of looks and drivability

Infiniti Q60 review: Audi A5 too ubiquitous? Here's something that will always be a rare sight
