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

Fully revised 7-series offers greater refinement, more luxury and in 750i xDrive guise more performance

S7 is the best new A7 yet – potent, refined and good to drive

Soft-top 8-series is more of an accomplished luxury cruiser but less of a sports car

The Speedster's combination of a GT3 powertrain and road-biased chassis setup combine to create one of Porsche’s greatest performance cars

Pro modifications make the GT R even more formidable on a track

Volvo’s latest V60 is a brilliant estate car, but rather less entertaining to drive than it could be

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

XE's chassis is one of the best but lacks sparkle in other areas

Standard or Performance, coupe or Spyder – the current R8 is a quality, exciting and thoroughly involving supercar

Aston Martin's Rapide 4-door is bowing out but there's life in the old V12 yet and the AMR upgrades highlight the car's deep well of talents

The E-class is more diverse, multi-talented and capable than ever, but still retains those key Mercedes attributes

New BMW 3-series has more of everything, but gives away a little of its satisfying precision in the process

The compromises are small with the new 992 Porsche 911 Cabriolet - it’s a brilliant open-air 911

All-new Evoque is a transformation over the original, now capable of delivering on road as well as everything off it

Accomplished, but not entertaining, Mini’s core model now feels old and a bit awkward. The next-gen car can’t come quickly enough

It’s an OK warm hatchback, but the steep price tag in context with rivals makes it a particularly tough sell

If outright pace isn’t your priority the more focused chassis set-up of the 718 Cayman T is the pick of the Cayman range

The Mercedes SL has never been the most natural sportscar, but the new SL63's talents are far greater than its reputation suggests

Top down motoring to the list only increases the 720S’ appeal, however the compromises felt dynamically still makes the coupe our choice

One of the world’s finest GTs, made even more appealing – for some – without a roof

Quick and chuckable...for an SUV

The E400d is supreme in its capability and practicality — if only it didn’t look like an airport taxi

Citroën has made its compact SUV the same, but different. Comfort and practicality are top priority – if you’re into that sort of thing

Marginally more fun than the standard car, better drives available for the same money

Lexus has created a wonderfully distinct, charismatic and desirable alternative to German rivals

Unusual but appealing package is frustratingly short of fulfilling its potential

The Golf GTI has the 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine found in many other VWs

With a 0-62mph time of 6.4sec and a 155mph top speed, the GTI delivers performance worthy of the badge

British B-roads can be the making and undoing of a car. The GTI however is perfectly suited to them, with top-of-the-line chassis control and balance
