In-depth reviews

The Octavia vRS is great value for money - but ignoring the cost, you're left with a car that doesn't tick every box.

The Passat is stylish and good to drive, with top build quality and an excellent diesel range.

The superb Honda Civic makes all its rivals feel mundane.

Styling aside, there's nothing old-fashioned about the Morgan Aero 8 - it's fast, generously equipped, great fun to drive and extremely charming.

Review of Vauxhall's premium estate car

This is by no means Nissan's best car, and it doesn't bring anything new to the class.

Things don't stand still at Westfield. Last year the company launched its first production car with a motorcycle engine.

Boasting excellent on-tarmac dynamics, a practical interior, decent mud-plugging ability and strong performance, BMW's X3 impresses

The V50 is the 'sports estate' sister car to the S40 saloon range, competing head-on with the Audi A4 Avant, BMW 3 Series Touring and Jaguar X-Type es…

Like its Kelisa relative the Kenari is another Perodua based on an old Daihatsu model.

Lexus took a long time to introduce a flagship roadster model to its impressive range so when the SC430 arrived great things were expected from it.

The amazing SL coupe-convertible remains a first-rate GT, particularly since the latest round of revisions.

This chunky off-roader is yet another budget-priced vehicle with enviable ability off-road.

The 407 boasts a fine ride and very refined diesel engines, but its practicality is compromised by that stand-out style.

The C4 looks smart and is keenly priced, while it's a very refined cruiser, but you should be wary of depreciation.

The understated Audi S6 is a relaxed cruiser, but it lacks the drama and sheer power that makes a true driver's saloon.

Audi has produced a fine contender for premium SUV honours

The Yaris proves you can buy an upmarket, well built supermini without breaking the bank.

The S-Type is outdated but is great to drive, easy to get on with and makes a decent case for itself financially.

The 1007 is a difficult car to pin down and we're uncertain who it will appeal to, even though it has many positives.

Refined powerplants, a comfortable cabin and smooth ride mark the E-Class out, but it's expensive to buy and costly to run.

The A-Class is hard to recommend unless you need compact MPV space.

Deeply traditional Morgan has been doing some extravagant things recently.

Now firmly established, the Beetle may exhibit many of the hallmarks of the original, but is, in fact, completely different

The BLS is OK, but offers nothing new in a market overflowing with talent.

Large supermini that does many things right, and sits near the top of its class despite steering and retained value concerns

Like so many of the mainstream hatches the Astra was all-new for 2004 - the only hangover remaining from the old range being the convertible models th…

The Flying Spur's W12 engine is great and the cabin beautifully trimmed - but VW-sourced parts let things down slightly.

A production run of just 50 cars shows just how special the Ascari KZ1 is.

The Alfa is charismatic and fun, but ultimately flawed
