A hugely enjoyable and rewarding M car to drive, the F87 BMW M2 CS is an eCoty champion and a sure-fire future classic

The eighth VW Golf GTI is fast, capable and easy to live with, now with improved if not perfected HMI and driving dynamics

Audi’s new electric S6 has lots going for it, but its lack of range and high price will be its undoing.

Still not the driver’s car of the class, but the A4 was strong in all other areas

Stunning drop-top version of the 488 GTB provided open-air thrills with negligible compromises

Broadly competent, the second-generation SQ5 is a polished but ultimately perplexing proposition

The desert launch of the 911 Dakar suggested a car for adventures. Cue a 1200-mile road trip on (and off) some of Europe’s best roads...

Not as ballistic as the M2 CS but the M2 Competition is still brilliant and now remarkably affordable

Stylish, content heavy and good enough to drive, the 308 delivers on its remit, but it’s a thrill-free zone

The Stelvio offers a unique dynamic flavour and plenty of style, but updates haven’t addressed its second-rate cabin

The first Audi RS5 Sportback might lack the edge of Alfa’s Giulia QV, but its less frantic approach has strong appeal

Aston’s biggest engine in its smallest offering was a hot rod recipe for an intoxicating blend of sports car, supercar and GT, that neither Porsche no…

The Ferrari 12 Cilindri is a stunning super GT offering in standard coupe form, and it's just as good without a roof

It might not have burned quite as brightly as Renault Sport Meganes and Honda Civic Type Rs, but the Mk7 Golf GTI is all the hot hatch most could ever…

The Audi R8 Spyder is a front-running soft-top supercar and its surprisingly sturdy structure preserves its driving appeal

The new, fourth-generation BMW X3 has arrived, with the B58-powered M50 leading the pack (for now)

Available as a Saloon, Coupé, Cabriolet and Estate, the C63 offered massive performance and your choice of style or practicality

The last V8-engined C63 coupe is as exuberant as you’d expect, but backs up the charm with steely control and fine balance

Mazda’s innovation has never been more apparent – the Mazda 3 is flawed but brilliant, and the type of ‘normal’ car we need

Honda’s first turbo Type R was hardcore and uncompromising, but deeply satisfying when the stars aligned

Cupra’s take on a small SUV is practical and capable in the right form, but it fails to keep up with the best in its crowded segment

A swansong for Alpina’s hot 3-series lineup, the B3 GT Touring is a fine and unique alternative to the very best fast estates

Less dynamic than its Stuttgart rival, but still a rewarding and practical everyday machine

Quick and composed on road or track, the Golf GTI has talents we miss, even if it didn’t sparkle when new

The Bentley Flying Spur is one of the few, if not the only, luxury car that is as good to drive as it is to be driven in

We didn’t love the F82 M4 when we first drove it, but it evolved into a hugely exciting and capable coupe later in its life

Ignore the weird looks and the FK8 performs and rewards with the very best hot hatches of the last 25 years

Lighter, meaner and more aggressive than the base car, the M4 CSL can be a riot on the right road, but it doesn't deliver on the promise of the CSL ba…

The electric GranTurismo Folgore is the most potent Maserati to date, and while it’s an impressive feat of engineering, it trades soul for power

So bereft of current rivals is the new 911 GT3 that you’re best to look to the used market and its predecessor, the 992.1 911 GT3

The Audi RS Q8 is the firm’s most powerful petrol car ever in Performance form. But is it one of the best?
