Go ahead if you like the look of it. If you don't, endless rivals are about as good.

Colourful character in a muted part of the market

Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape

Just what the market ordered. Stylish crossover for people who don't need family space. But don't dig too deep beyond that

Peugeot's hot hatch renaissance continues. The 308 GTI has a joyously wild streak

A job well done. The Golf is better, but not by much.

This is among the best compact estates on sale (partly because it isn’t really compact at all).

The Karoq might have lost its predecessor’s personality, but on every other front it’s a better car than the one it replaces

A first-time entrant from Seat that feels like they’ve been practicing for years.

Not revolutionary, but Q2 is different enough to make you stand out in a crowd.

Not the perfect solution to all your motoring needs, but a great first effort at a useable everyday hybrid.

Incredibly competent, deceptively fast, but needs to be at warp speed before it gets interesting.

The definitive example of rock-solid, sensible, impeccable German engineering

The new Kuga is safer and roomier than before. Less fun, but a better family car

Bigger and better than ever, the Superb offers a whole lot of car for the cash.

We've had to wait for it, but the new Mondeo has been well worth it.

Volvo has made something nicely distinctive here. It'd be impressive even if they'd been practicing for years

Skoda’s kept all of what we loved about the old Superb (size, space, value) and added updated interior tech and a genuinely stylish body. Verging on genius

More grown up and all the better for it. Priced very keenly too - it's a smart shout.

Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials

A giant, kitted out seven-seat 4x4 for the price of a top-spec Qashqai. Only apply if you like your driving rufty-tufty

Cosier and more expensive than rivals, but appealing badge and quality
