car reviews

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

Dacia’s flagship that manages to be both value-for-money and slightly posher than other models. Useful, if not particularly flash

One of Britain's cheapest EVs has loads of equipment. We wish they'd spent that money elsewhere though

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

A comprehensive little supermini that holds its own against the competition

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

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

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but it won’t tug your heartstrings

The T-Cross isn’t a bad car and is different enough to the Polo on which it’s based

The Scala is arguably doing a better job of being the Volkswagen Golf than the Golf is

The new Kona Electric is just as competent as before, but with more of all the good stuff. Well done Hyundai

The Arona is a decent enough small crossover, but a Leon hatch is better looking, roughly the same size, and only slightly more expensive

While it might not have the visual pizazz of its predecessor, the 11th-generation Honda Civic reminds us it’s what’s inside that counts

Makes no promises it cannot keep, and absolutely nails the brief Dacia set for it: simple, spacious motoring for pennies on the pound. Now with added refinement

Remains one of the best all-round, reasonably priced EVs you can buy today

A good looking car, but as hamstrung as its rivals for boot size

An extremely competent, well-built example of an EV SUV, but apart from those looks, there's no stand-out USP

Success in a hatch isn't just about the drive. The Focus has the rest of the bases well covered too

City cars aren’t dead yet - the i10 is grown-up, comfy and loaded with kit

Second generation A1 is the cheapest way into Audi ownership. Rivals have it licked on driving manners, though

Wilfully odd-looking small SUV is actually fun to drive. It's the Nissan Juke's worthy heir
