Cupra corners well. Good body control
Very fast, and quite a lot of fun. But it's only £800 less than the more fun, more refined Golf GTi
Straight-six petrol version of the new Freelander is initially only available as an automatic
Nice, but too thirsty and pricey to make this the Freelander of choice.
3dr very similar in profile to 5dr
Needs to ride better or be more involving. Looks like a Type R-lite, but isn’t
It's a Phantom, only longer
Fabulously opulent. Best in the back, but the chauffeur will be happy too.
Very fast, and very expensive. Raw performance countered by luxury.
Focus feels better to drive with roof up
The best in its class, though that still means it's a compromised drive
The RC weighs 37kg more, but boot space is the same as the soft-top's
All the fun of the MX-5 with added security and useability. If you think the premium’s worth it, go for it.
Twin exhaust pipes for the Sport
More nicely warmed through than really hot, but this well-sorted and likeable hatch is the best of its type.
Few exterior mods, but 320si gets special 18in alloys
A limited-run homologation special of BMW’s world touring car. A mere 2600 will be made available worldwide, and only 500 will be coming to the UK.
The Polo will get up to 134mph in the end, but its kerbweight of 1164kg limits its on-road pace
Not the GTi that its name and looks suggest it might be.
It remains to be seen how the Sedici's price will compare with the four-wheel drive SX4
The Sedici is reasonably able off the road and on it, though the two-wheel drive Suzuki SX4, which is essentially the same car, undercuts it on price.
