car reviews

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

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

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

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 latest Mazda CX-5 is a familiar recipe, but has lost some of the verve of its predecessor

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 MX-5 dishes out open-air fun at entirely legal speeds and costs peanuts to run. What more could you want?

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

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

The Karoq might be slightly dull, but it's eager to please and will slot seamlessly into your life

Celebrate the fact the Mustang lives on while you can. Seventh generation remains as desirable as ever

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

Suzuki reckons it can steal small car sales now that others are backing out of the game. The new Swift is a refreshingly simple choice if you get past the looks

Enormously practical and built for family life, the Berlingo does all you could realistically ask of it

Among an abundance of small SUVs, the 2008, with its eye-catching looks and great interior tech, is one of the most interesting

A comprehensive little supermini that holds its own against the competition

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

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