The most exciting Macan in the range

Proper drop-top supercar or a grotesque caricature that seems a bit confused? We drive the open-top F-Type SVR

If the only 5-series you're able to run is the 2-litre diesel, you won't feel too short changed - it's still an excellent car

Good to drive and practical, but the X5's ever-increasing size counts against it in a few areas

The best iteration of the Golf yet?

SEAT’s ‘Golf R Estate’ offers almost everything its VW twin does, but the slightly more powerful R is perilously close on price.

Faster than ever, the Leon Cupra still fails to really engage in a way that marks out the best hot hatches

Sensationally fast and surprisingly fun to drive

Incredible performance matches ultimate luxury

Updated Octavia continues to impress, if not excite

Breathtakingly exciting and the most communicative 991 yet, the latest GT3 RS is a triumph

A well considered saloon, but not one for enthusiastic drivers

Subtly brilliant, the Discovery Sport takes fight to the Germans

Latest Civic is a big step up over its predecessor, but we're hoping the Type R will ramp up the fun factor

Hybrid Panamera is more fuel efficient, but less capable

The Corsa VXR is faster and more composed than its predecessor, but its rivals are a tough bunch to beat

Turbocharged engine transforms Up's performance, but we're still waiting on a genuinely fun variant

The new C3 is very habitable and unlike any of its rivals

Swift, superbly refined and thoroughly advanced it may be, but this isn’t the pick of BMW’s excellent new 5-series range so far

Tuner's modifications turn the Mazda roadster into a genuine Elise alternative

With a keener chassis the new S5 outscores the original

A brilliantly resolved car; puts the sparkle back into the 5-series while offering terrific comfort, tech and refinement

With more power and revised chassis settings the Clubsport is both the fastest and most engaging Golf GTI to date

Ignore the over-promise of the AMG badge and the E43 is a quick, stylish and luxurious way to travel

Born of the sublime V8 Vantage but corrupted by the GTE race car, is the new Vantage GT8 the perfect blend?

A more interesting, incisive drive than the standard car, but stops short of being fun
