A little better than the monstrosity that was the Frontera, but expensive and unrefined. Not vauxhall's finest hour

Think of this as a Yeti made over as an MPV. And made uglier. Interior is well-shaped and eminently usable.

All-new C4 Picasso is comfier and more versatile than the SUV crossovers that are all the rage

Good to drive and more versatile than a standard 5-Series, but the 5GT remains one of BMW's biggest mistakes. Buy a 5-Series Touring instead

Infiniti would like its Q70 to take the fight to BMW and Mercedes class leaders. Sadly, it isn't up to their lofty standards

Huge, hugely comfortable, hugely luxurious and hugely expensive

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

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...

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

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

Ford B-Max review: Ford finally joins the mini-MPV fray with a clever car packed with potential.

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
