car reviews

The 911 remains the definitive sports car. Hybrid GTS is an engineering nerd’s dream, or pick the Carrera for simple pleasures

Crossovers have become the same-iest cars ever. Why not go for one that’s a bit more left field?

Hits its marks but doesn’t do much else besides

Manages to be pretty good at everything without being exceptional at anything, but it’ll be a doddle to live with

Apocalypse on the way? Looming natural disaster? The Land Cruiser 250 can get you out of any tight spot

Ticks all the rational boxes, but rivals are better to drive and more interesting

Honda's latest HR-V is a decent all-round package with some thoughtful touches

Tidy dynamics and an upmarket cabin make the Mazda 3 a top-notch hatch, even if it is a bit poky

The Explorer’s close cousin is a little slinkier looking but more expensive and much the same to drive

Better looking than the Lambo Urus, phenomenal performance and handling, hugely expensive… ideal if you need a supercar and an SUV rolled into one

A facelift for the Model 3 comes just in the nick of time to nudge it back ahead of rivals

Superb family all-rounder will politely give rivals a bloody nose

The most powerful M5 ever. And the least exciting. Hybrid powertrain robs this hefty bruiser of natural delicacy

Mercedes-Benz does enough to make the G-Wagen a strangely compelling product… even in 2024. You either get it, or you don’t

An uplifting electric van that's fun to be in and around. Could it break the SUV mould?

Two decades old but still the ideal runaround for today, the Mk1 vRS represent some major bang for buck

Safe update of a car that won’t help it find the wider audience it probably needs

Too much power is never enough. Applies to dictators, EV chargers and the Koenigsegg Jesko

An iconic rally car, masterfully reimagined. Kimera’s evo37 is recaptures the spirit of the homologation special

No better way for the quad-turbo W16 to bow out than a car where it sounds like the engine is escaping from the chassis

The MG Cyberster is an unabashed reinvention of the sports car. It won’t outhandle the establishment, but it does plenty that they can’t at a reasonable price
