Car review

Mini John Cooper Works

Faster and more rounded than any ‘Works’ Mini before it. Still a committed prospect – to buy and to use – but rewarding to drive

Skoda Superb

The Skoda Superb never had a problem with space but this latest generation gets even more. It's also lighter, cleaner, more frugal and better equipped than ever before

BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer

You won't find another premium, all-wheel-drive, seven-seat compact MPV like BMW's xDrive 2 Series Gran Tourer, but is there a reason for that?

BMW 2 Series Convertible

BMW's smallest drop-top grows outwards and grows up but can it apply pressure on the Audi TT Roadster and Mercedes-Benz SLC?

Audi TT Roadster

Summer's coming and so is Audi's TT Roadster. It shares the coupé's chiselled good looks, but is it as sharp to drive?

Caterham Seven 270

Caterham's reshuffling of its line-up makes this the replacement for the Roadsport - which means it need only be the ideal complement to a Sunday

Car review

Audi TT

Can the juggernaut sports coupé roll on to even greater success, or has Audi's icon lost its edge against more purpose-built machines?

Ford Escort

Ford's Escort nameplate returns on this only-for-China saloon. Does it continue Ford's tradition of building sharp-handling cars?

Mercedes-AMG S 63 Coupe

The replacement for the CL grand tourer has some big boots to fill, but does it even come close?

Vencer Sarthe

A £250,000 supercar conceived by an ex-plumber from Holland doesn’t sound too promising but in reality it is surprisingly effective

Audi S6

Outstanding all-season ability and impressive everyday practicality, but lacking intimacy on challenging roads and beginning to show its age in certain areas
