Fast and luxurious, but not enough of an M car

AC Schnitzer’s upgrades come close to turning the M550i xDrive into an M5 rival, but not for UK buyers…

Can 425bhp and some RS-style modifications elevate the Porsche Cayman GT4 to new heights?

A really good car, but a missed opportunity also.

The DS 7 Crossback offers much in the way of luxury, space and moderately quirky design but it’s not an inspiring drive

It can’t match modern rivals for sophistication, but the WRX Final Edition is a searingly fast saloon that’s packed with character

Chassis upgrades and a peppier motor add some traditional driver appeal to the electric i3

The Audi RS4 Avant is now in its third generation, teaming naturally aspirated V8 power with estate car practicality

The new Polo GTI is a better car than its predecessor, but while it’s fast, composed and agile it lacks the crucial fun factor

Quickest A4 loses its roof – and its composure

If no SUV can be described as truly sporting – this one has a good go and has fun trying.

The Cupra R offers tangible benefits over the old car, particularly the handling, so it’s a shame so few drivers will feel the benefits

Jaguar's smallest SUV is sure to sell well, but those buyers will not be getting a class-leading vehicle

Bentley's first SUV is sure to be a sales hit, but its sheer weight limits the appeal as a drivers SUV

BMW’s latest SUV should sell better than ever, but entertainment takes a back seat to practicality and tech

Quick, affordable and fun, but not perfect

The Clio Williams was the first hot hatch to put the legendary Peugeot 205 GTI in the shade

The ultimate road-going 911: fast, ferocious, surprisingly accessible but with a real sting in the tail.

Upgrade to 248bhp gives 2-litre version of likeable little roadster a welcome – and well judged – shot in the arm

Nissan’s new electric car doesn’t thrill us just yet, but future iterations may be a different story

The most extreme road-going Exige, the Cup 380, is one of the best drivers’ cars at any price

Capable, refined and practical crossover that’s decent to drive and attractively priced, but lacks the charm and character of the old Yeti

Brisk with an impressive chassis but, like most SUVs, short on thrills

BMW’s 6-series GT offers space, luxury and refinement and in 630d form a decent drive, too

The 6-series name might not be applied to BMW coupés any more, but the 6 GT is still typically luxurious

Rather than feeling much faster, the M400 is even more fun than a basic RS
