car reviews

It's been said the Scirocco is a tarted up Golf GTI. Possibly. Doesn't stop it being awesome, though

Odd-looking CLA is more flawed than we'd ever expect from Merc in 2016

McLaren P1 review: Terrifying, brilliant, devastatingly quick. There's nothing like the P1. McLaren has upped the hypercar stakes

Despite an all-new overhaul, the Soul still isn't quite there. Utilitarian style gone too far?

Despite its innovative approach, Toyota's iQ doesn't live up to the hype. Well, not quite

It's not the car it was, the Renaultsport Clio. Still fast, with a nice chassis, but not a patch on before

The facelift in 2012 seems to have worked for Toyota's Avensis. Tragically dull, but not without merit

Civic Estate offers sector-topping practicality. We can't fault your logic, Honda

Ford Mondeo review: looks a bit like the old one but brings solid gains in comfort and tech. Back at the competitive sharp end.

Rivals challenge the 4 Series in individual areas, but struggle to replicate its all-rounder appeal.

Volkswagen's take on the all-electric family car is, as you'd expect, an extremely convincing one

6 Series Convertible is a very elegant, laid back and convincing car indeed. Diesel is a gem and proves open-top oil-burners can work

Everyone should own an Alfa at some point in their lives. This one's a good place to start

Able, stylish i40 aims to take on the establishment with a blend of good looks, ability and keen pricing

A former TopGear Car of the Year. That was a long time ago, though.

And achingly beautiful car, made from good solid trees by good solid Brits

Ford C-MAX review: the Ford C-Max drives very ably, and there's a fair bit of room in there too.

BMW's enormous GT is best seen as a continent-crosser rather than the dynamic sports car many expected

All is forgiven Subaru, the agile, zesty BRZ is a genuine driver's coupe

Roomier and better than the hatch, but rivals are better still. Facelift gives it a helping hand

Focussed carbon-heavy track car with a turbo’d Audi engine and superlative looks. A tad soft, but that can be sorted relatively easily by adjusting the suspension
