In-depth reviews

The TT RS has one of the most characterful engines on sale, and it's backed up by unwavering traction and sure-footed precision

The new rear-wheel drive Polestar 2 strikes a good balance between range, performance and engagement, but it's not as sharp as an i4

Faster, sharper and more involving than before, the RS7 Performance is a true force of nature

Accomplished, but not entertaining, Mini’s core model now feels old and a bit awkward. The next-gen car can’t come quickly enough

Intense, charismatic and far more resolved than its former self, the Evo is a brilliant supercar dominated by that superb V10 engine

More fast Polo than real hot hatchback, the GTI falls short again. As you were, Hyundai i20 N

The DB11's plush, laid-back character is deeply alluring and befitting of a true GT, but the new DB12 brings a shot of extra excitement

An imperfect hot hatchback, but one with appeal if you don’t mind some rough edges

evo’s 2017 Car of the Year is as capable and appealing today as it was then

An uncomplicated everyday car that drives well and does everything you could reasonably expect

Recently updated, the Porsche Macan is still the class champion and unlike most rivals a genuinely captivating drive

It may not have sold in the numbers Lotus hoped for, but the original Evora was an eCoty winner and – as we’re about to discover – remains a dynamic p…

It’s bigger, heavier and auto-only. But don't let that put you off, the M3 Competition is spectacular

The latest RS3 now has the chassis to match its powertrain, and it might even be the best bit

The Lexus RC F might seem old fashioned, but its recipe still holds lots of appeal

A beautifully built expression of Porsche’s engineering might, yet the Panamera is starting to look its age

The M2 is a throwback to a golden age of small, rear-wheel-drive performance models from Munich

The XF’s impressive chassis is now joined by a plush new interior and slick tech, but powertrains remain a significant weakness 

Now in its fourth generation, the Mercedes A-class is unrecognisable from the car that kicked things off two decades ago.

Aston Martin’s smallest model isn’t as polished or broadly talented as a Porsche 911, but has its own very distinct appeal

The current Renault Mégane RS might only just be clinging to life, but in recently updated form it’s a better all-round hot hatch than ever

With its flawed execution there’s still some way to go for the G70, but it’s a fresh take on a classic recipe and on the right track

The new Mercedes-AMG E63 S isn’t just a German four-door muscle car – it’s exciting, edgy and captivating too

The modern Range Rover continues to define the luxury SUV just as its ancestors did, and despite strong rivals is still something special

Concrete evidence that long-standing engineering garners excellent results. The C-class has never been better

Blessed with an excellent, involving chassis, but feeble engine and poor tyres prevent the BRZ from achieving greatness

The A45 proves Mercedes-AMG has found the formula for not just a fast hot hatchback, but a genuinely involving one

The large hatchback and estate aren’t cool: fact. But the Skoda Superb is a great car in spite of it

The SEAT Leon Cupra is at the end of its lifespan, but has only become better with age
