car reviews

A great looking car with a myriad of drivetrain options. Shame the Skoda Octavia exists

The Mercedes SL combines real performance with GT-like refinement and tech. But it's fiddly to operate and strangely unengaging to drive

VW’s coupe-crossover will win some fans for its sportier looks, but otherwise it’s easily forgettable

A supremely complete crossover. And better to drive than it strictly needs to be

The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland

Newly facelifted eighth-gen Golf remains the lingua-franca of the hatch world. A finely polished machine

The new EQE SUV fills a gap in the Mercedes range, but doesn't do much else

Ford has built something incredible here: one of the most exciting, all-enveloping and charismatic cars you'll ever see

An almost irritatingly complete GT and sports car. Feels like £110k’s worth, top up or top down

One of the first ever turbocharged performance cars, the original 911 is now a bona fide classic

The latest Corolla covers all the bases and even looks sharp, but offers little else

Familiar with the Golf? No surprises here, but there are plenty more interesting options out there

If you’re not quite ready to go electric yet then you could do a lot worse than the baby Skoda

The first exec-sized electric wagon on the scene, and good enough the others need not bother… unless they can undercut BMW’s hefty prices

The point where 2020s technology meets 1920s craftsmanship. Entertaining, but there are cracks in that century-wide gap

Relaxing to drive but infuriating to operate, the CLE is an old-school coupe spoiled by poorly integrated tech

This new AMG C63 feels as much a rolling scientific experiment as it does a sports saloon

The GR Yaris is superb: hands down the best Toyota we've ever driven

McLaren's finest achievement to date was the 720S. The 750S tops it - but its main duty is to be painless to own

The X7 is BMW's biggest and most luxurious SUV, and it wants to be noticed

The best supermini to drive, and arguably the class leader. But the supermini class isn’t what it once was and the Clio is missing its joie de vivre
