In-depth reviews

BMW 7 Series (2002-2008) review

The Astra VXR is every inch the no-holds-barred performance car, and keen drivers won't be disappointed.

The Merc has dramatic styling, road presence and sheer class.

A technical tour de force that drives beautifully, yet is also easy to live with, the Porsche 911 is the world's best sports car.

Skoda Superb (2001-2008) review

The Arnage benefited from major revisions in 2006.

The Magentis is solidly put together, inoffensively styled and offers excellent rear legroom. But it's outdated and lacks personality

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

The Saab 9-3 saloon is good value but is feeling its age.

The Picanto is great value and competent.

With sleek styling and punchy engines, the Kia Pro_Cee'd is a sporty but affordable choice
