car reviews

A massively practical VW that isn’t an SUV. Benefits greatly from its new MQB platform

Your classic flawed hero. Genesis’ 3 Series Touring/A4 Avant rival has its work cut out

It's comfy, it drives well, it's got performance *and* eco options... There's really not much to criticise

The Continental R is a luxury four-seater from the grand old days when they didn't try to be sports cars

An oddball but undeniably interesting bit of badge-swapping history. And doesn't it look great still?

An icon of the sports saloon world. Still irresistibly suave 25 years after it first launched

The Jimny’s ultra-honest unpretentiousness is the antidote to every beige crossover. Don’t expect sophistication, and you’ll adore it

The Taycan Sport Turismo handles as beautifully as it looks, but we're not convinced it sufficiently outperforms the Cross Turismo

It drives like a McLaren should, but a genuine GT car ought to be more practical

An all-electric Ferrari with a top speed of 50mph, but perhaps the most fun we’ve had behind the wheel of anything all year. The pinnacle of extravagant toys

A car that used to be purely sensible now lets some style into the mix. Not perfect, but wholeheartedly good value for money

New Ghost is a sublimely engineered, hugely charismatic motor car. Less really is more

BMW’s four-wheel-drive-only four-seat convertible, now with a fabric roof and some serious chops when it comes to going fast. That’ll be the 500+ bhp, then

Veyron's successor is a car that does things no other car can; one with a distinct personality

A fascinating and fast send off to what might be one of the great engines. The 812 Comp is a wild triumph we'll look back on in years to come

Nothing in the BMW range - nor any rival factory - stretches a band across the three legs of drivability, style and practicality like the 4 Series Gran Coupe

A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed

A refined, capable, likeable van. But it’s not actually a Toyota. It’s French

Rear-steering Megane RS has a charm, if you like your hot hatches firm, edgy and demanding attention

Renault mends the bits that needed mending and leaves the bits that didn’t. A big step forwards

A lovingly created, better-than-new classic Ferrari, and the most affordable (!) way to get a California Spyder into your life
