In-depth reviews

Audi’s RS3 and RS3 Saloon have been rejigged to meet new emissions laws, but it hasn’t upset the recipe

The Focus RS impresses with strong performance and great handling

Audi Sport’s RSQ8 is its biggest and heaviest model yet, but the brand is on form recently so could this actually be an entertaining SUV?

The Golf R turned from a flat-footed heavyweight to a dynamic and spritely hot hatchback. It’s brilliant, but not the best hot Golf of its generation …

Trades some dynamic ability and excitement for comfort - unless you opt for the AMG C63

In the face of talented rivals, the M4 remains a solid, sophisticated option for keen drivers

It’s clear the Type R has had a positive effect on the standard Civic’s handling, but a mini Type R this is not

Britain’s most popular car also happens to be one of its most accessible driver’s cars

The Volkswagen Golf defines the family hatchback class, for good reason

The Audi S3 is fast and well built, but lacks the character or outright handling brilliance so many in this class portray

Fast and attractive with a real feel-good factor, the F-type is the perfect alternative to German rivals

Not the most fun, but well-rounded and good value too

Can BMW's performance hybrid deliver conventional sports car thrills?

A1 exhibits all the usual Audi traits, but lacks any real fun factor.

Removeable roof and styling tweaks add a new layer to the 4C's appeal, but the Spider is still a flawed sports car

Composed, comfortable and quick, but the 2-series Gran Coupe is short on dynamic flair

A paragon of technology, but huge fun at the same time

The latest updates to this performance car icon have improved it greatly, it now has the composure to match its mighty performance

Audi’s biggest S model digs deep into its technical arsenal to create a talented, if somewhat joyless SUV, but then aren’t they all?

Still not the driver’s car of the class, but the A4 is strong in all other areas

Jaguar's XE SV Project 8 takes a rather extreme approach to the supersaloon recipe than most, but has an equally extreme price tag to match

The M140i is a polished, powerful and charismatic hot hatch that can start to unravel when pushed to its limits

An exciting hot hatch with typical French quirks

It’s a premium mid-sized SUV, so unsurprisingly popular, but is Volvo’s XC60 actually any good?

A conventional hatch now, the A-class fights hard in the premium hatchback class

Pragmatic Sportback is no more fun to drive than an A3

It was the model that helped change Land Rover's fortunes, but like all 'trendy' things, is the new 2019 Range Rover Evoque still a worthy saviour?

The 7 is not as 'cool' as an SUV, but its recipe is one with lots of appeal, and is just better than a big luxo-SUV could ever be

A testament to Ford’s engineering excellence, even if it’s not quite in context for the UK

The Audi Q3 is not a bad car, but it's lacking in key areas compared to strong rivals, while short of the quality you’d expect

Surprisingly good fun, particularly in AMG trim, the SL is a roadster of broad talents

The Audi A6’s core virtues remain, but it doesn’t shine like it once did - rivals still do executive better

Audi’s big A5 coupé is more genteel GT than hard-charging driver’s choice
