car reviews

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

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

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

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

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

Its engine and huge breadth of ability make it feel increasingly special. A supercar that fully deserves its spot at the top table

Possibly the best Lambo since the Miura, Lamborghini’s first hybrid combines technology with drama to great effect

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

Aston at its best. And possibly the best Aston. A classic, elegant GT you no longer have to make excuses for inside and on the road

The most extreme Porsche 911 ever, a fitting no-stone-unturned exercise in the pursuit of speed

A terrific car, a genuine exponent of light weight and something pleasingly different to drive

Fiat's recast 500 is a solid, refined little electric car

The M2’s matured into a rounded, grown-up complete sports coupe, but some of the first car’s impish charm has been lost

As unflappable and outrageously quick as ever, but it's a tad more fun this time around

New found dynamism and modern interior help make this the most accomplished Aston Martin we’ve driven in years

If you want to experience the best chassis in the business, it's here. And thankfully the 6cyl is back, too

One of the most complete sports cars ever created. Beautiful to drive, and bulletproof to live with

A bunch of great updates make the Ford Mustang a sharper sports car while still staying true to its muscle car roots

The last ever petrol-powered Lotus looks fantastic and drives with precision, but not quite as much emotion as we might’ve hoped
