car reviews

The Citroen e-C3 is a charming little goofball. The fact that it’s comfy and impressively cheap will only make you love it more

Noisy and inefficient in its pure combustion form. Omoda's first car to the UK is certainly not its best work

Everything you need is in the Dacia Duster, and a lot of what you don't, isn't. Good

Uh oh, Nissan has gone from an EV pioneer to a lazy plagiarist. The Micra is a good car, but only because it's an imitation of a brilliant one

The Ibiza is a likeable supermini... but it feels a little dated and struggles to stand out alongside its sibling rivals

There’s nothing overtly terrible about the Jaecoo E5… but there’s nothing compelling either. You’ll buy it with your wallet not your heart

Dacia’s focused relentlessly on building the best value seven-seater – everything else is a bonus

Do you know someone who owns a Jaecoo 5? Offer them a hot beverage and a consoling hug. There, there

A smart looking little supermini that’s as likeable to drive as it no doubt is to live with

Latest facelift adds a touch of sparkle to a car that otherwise feels very normcore. Not necessarily a bad thing

The Fabia is the dictionary definition of 'easy to live with', or would be if the dictionary catered for phrases as well as words

The Fiat Grande Panda does lots for little, and carries it off with an air of panache

This isn't just a retro pastiche. The 5 is almost as joyful to use as it is to look at. Strong value cements the appeal

Y’know the Clio, yeah? Like that. But bigger. Roomier. And more expensive

Quirky, comfortable hatchback and cheaper than most rivals. Perhaps the e-C3 is more interesting, though

Fiat's recast 500 is a solid, refined little electric car. But rivals are cheaper and will go further

Efficient and interesting to look at, but the Yaris is one for the practical head rather than emotional heart

The freshened Picanto proves that there's still some life left in the city car. If only more manufacturers would build them

Citroen's hatch isn't like all the rest and plays big on comfort. Plus, it's not quite a crossover

A quirky looking, refined little car, at home in the city and suburbs. The price is a little stiff though

MG's on the move – the ZS has come back transformed (and still cheap)
