In-depth reviews

An interesting new sporty 4x4, the Sport handles well and is fast, but is it too similar to the larger Range Rover?

Fiat obviously thought the French were onto a good thing with their van-based family cars; the Renault Kangoo, Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner

Mazda has been transformed since the introduction of the Mazda6, sales are booming, brand awareness is high and there's a new sports coupe in the shap…

Like its Kelisa relative the Kenari is another Perodua based on an old Daihatsu model.

Peugeot 807

There's much to like about the Citroen C6, but it's costly to buy and run, while ride and ergonomics are flawed.

The Europa S is great to drive, but it's simply too unrefined to live with day-to-day.

The Discovery has a polished drivetrain and chassis, with excellent build quality, strong residuals and a class-leading image.

The Accord has unparalleled desirability, but practicality is compromised.

It may be due for replacement soon, but the evergreen Ka remains a little thriller that's still more than class-competitive.

Cute isn't it?

The A3 scores highly thanks to its top quality and classy appearance

.

It may be fast and have a superb engine, but the BMW Z4 M Coupe isn't a winner.

Huge, both inside and out, the Terracan is the working man's new 4x4 favourite.

Seven-seaters are nothing new to Peugeot, it having a long history of putting an extra row of seats into its estate cars.

As an all-rounder the Scenic and, in particular, the Grand Scenic are hard to beat. Either makes a cracking compact MPV with few flaws.

The M5 is a stunning super saloon that is fast, practical and, considering its talents, relatively affordable.

If your next £50,00 sports car has to be British, then the Marcos TSO is well worth considering.

Kia might not immediately spring to mind when it comes to looking for a 4x4, but with the Sorento the Korean firm hopes to repeat the success it's had…

Small cars are something of a Daihatsu speciality and the latest Sirion is perhaps their best example.

The Nippa was the car that introduced UK buyers to ultra-budget motoring Malaysian style.

The Astra TwinTop is capable and desirable. Cheap to buy and run, it's an enjoyable drive too, if not as good as VW's class-leading Eos.

Lexus is back on top form with the IS, majoring on comfort with good results - though it lacks practicality and storage, while the diesel is coarse at…

The Picasso is the UK's best selling compact MPV, bettering even the car that started the segment - Renault's Scenic.

When you compare the Accent to the leap Hyundai made with the Santa Fe SUV, it's a bit of a disappointment

Original high-rise supermini is an Auto Express favourite and still hard to fault.

With a great practicality and a dynamic chassis, Audi's A6 impresses - but light steering and a fidgety ride let it down

Citroen's established five-door supermini is not a supermini front-runner, but is hard to beat in terms of value.

Sensational Italian supercar nearly does it all - and wraps that considerable talent in a fantastic-looking body. A modern-day masterpiece
