car reviews

It shouldn’t make any sense. But drive it for a couple of days and you realise being sensible is for other vehicles. The Hummer is about fun

Interior furnishing and screen systems take priority over how it drives. Many love it for that, but not us

The Q2 is bold on the surface, but woefully unremarkable beneath it

A decent attempt at a lifestyle SUV which should come with a premium ownership experience, but doesn’t drive as well as its German rivals

BMW’s Icarus moment. The XM tries to be a luxury SUV and an ultimate M car with a hybrid conscience, but fails to convince as a whole.

Decent powertrain happily takes a back seat to dependable quality. This is where the electric vehicle hits the mainstream

It’s more apparent than ever that the 911 GT3 is part of a famous motorsport bloodline. Another phenomenal car

The BYD Atto 3 drives decently, and depressing though it is to say, in this class 'decent' is as good as it gets

The most single-minded hypercar ever to turn a wheel. Vast complication and compromise hand-in-hand with divine beauty and outlandish speed

Not cheap, and not a conventional SUV, but a thoroughly capable family wagon

A brilliant GT, now with a bit more headroom

An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness

The car that started everything for Hyundai. A car with surprisingly British roots

Audi’s heartland hero might not have the hustle of a BMW 3 Series Touring, but it’s plenty competent and got refinement on its side

Goes, stops, and steers like a proper M special. No compromise in practicality

Hyundai's first full-strength performance car, and it's nailed it. Few hot hatches are this fun to drive

Slightly sharper looks, slightly sharper chassis... but otherwise refreshingly old-school. The F-Type doesn't cause any upsets. Phew

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

McLaren's third LT is its most ferocious yet. Take your brave pills and strap in

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

Among the most complete family cars you can buy for sensible money. As compelling now as it was when it was launched in 2016
