car reviews

Huge, hugely comfortable, hugely luxurious and hugely expensive

Great-looking and groaning with tech, if a bit stolid on the road, the A7 takes the fight to the Merc CLS and wins

Meet the new WRX, same as the old Impreza. Still a hoot on the right road, still a pain on most others

This is the one they all need to watch out for. VW has finally got serious about the city car

The Ford MPV to have if absolute space is all. if it’s not, then eyes left...

The XJ is exactly what a Jaguar should be. It's green and good to drive

Latest i30 Tourer is just £500 more than the hatchback and arguably looks better, too

This mini-MPV offers loads of space and of course, that spectacular warranty, but sadly it's dreary to drive. You'd be better off in the i30.

We can't quite believe we're saying this, but the 911 Cabrio might just be better than the Coupe

We're not quite sure how VW allowed it, but Seat has produced a genuine rival to the Golf here...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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