car reviews

And achingly beautiful car, made from good solid trees by good solid Brits

Ford Mondeo review: looks a bit like the old one but brings solid gains in comfort and tech. Back at the competitive sharp end.

Focussed carbon-heavy track car with a turbo’d Audi engine and superlative looks. A tad soft, but that can be sorted relatively easily by adjusting the suspension

Volkswagen's take on the all-electric family car is, as you'd expect, an extremely convincing one

All is forgiven Subaru, the agile, zesty BRZ is a genuine driver's coupe

Despite an all-new overhaul, the Soul still isn't quite there. Utilitarian style gone too far?

Odd-looking CLA is more flawed than we'd ever expect from Merc in 2016

Rivals challenge the 4 Series in individual areas, but struggle to replicate its all-rounder appeal.

It's not the car it was, the Renaultsport Clio. Still fast, with a nice chassis, but not a patch on before

Roomier and better than the hatch, but rivals are better still. Facelift gives it a helping hand

A former TopGear Car of the Year. That was a long time ago, though.

Breaking news: tall French car shockingly reveals 'charisma' - C3 Picasso is a tempting carry-all

A decent effort from Peugeot that deserves more attention than it gets

McLaren P1 review: Terrifying, brilliant, devastatingly quick. There's nothing like the P1. McLaren has upped the hypercar stakes

Practical, stylish and not at all hairy, the Yeti is a great alternative to a regular hatchback or SUV

Not small but still perfectly formed, the Touran is a testament to VW's expertise at dull but good cars

Thinking about buying a Mirage? Don't. Now you can't say we haven't warned you. Especially awful

BMW's enormous GT is best seen as a continent-crosser rather than the dynamic sports car many expected

Civic Estate offers sector-topping practicality. We can't fault your logic, Honda

6 Series Convertible is a very elegant, laid back and convincing car indeed. Diesel is a gem and proves open-top oil-burners can work

Ford C-MAX review: the Ford C-Max drives very ably, and there's a fair bit of room in there too.
