Audi R8 review: a seminal supercar first time round, the R8 is more changed than you might expect

It’s the worst-looking car in the world. I’d rather look at one of Clarkson’s dingleberries

I don’t want people thinking it’s a death trap. It’s exquisite in every way

The ideal transport for a flooded town such as Doncaster or Tewkesbury. Gentlemen, I give you the future!

It’s still a caravan. But a flying one. You float in the infinite blue. It’s superb!

Mazda's small crossover is well-specced, good-looking and sweet-driving

Audi blends conventional A3 with futuristic drive tech to create its answer to the BMW i3

Jaguar XE review: At ease, the baby Jag is a good ‘un. Good job, because there’s a lot riding on it...

Ferrari LaFerrari review: a V12 with KERS electrification that amounts to 950bhp of pure industrial awesomeness.

Smart’s four-door take on the Renault Twingo. Refined, cute, but we wish it were more fun

There are better all-rounders, but idiosyncrasy and charm mark it out

Open-top version of McLaren's brilliant 650S. P1 looks and open-top sensations: perfect

Audis are hit and miss. This is an on-target bullseye. Exactly what a fast hot hatch should be

Nothing wrong with it, apart from being drab and unimaginative, and really not much fun

Peugeot did a decent job with the 107's replacement, but it forgot to add character

The new Gallardo returns Lamborghini to the entry-level supercar top table - even if it is a bit play it safe

Citroen goes back to its roots and gives us something completely different, cheap, cheerful and innovative

Related to the Chevy Volt, and none the worse for it. Vauxhall's new take on eco motoring

While adequate in most areas, the Avensis Estate excels in none of them. You can get a lot better than this for your money

Good design and dynamics at a decent price, this is another class act from Hyundai

The greatest second-hand car on the market, thanks to appalling RVs. Pity, the Phaeton is a good car with decent engines and quality
