Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 V6 Q4
This is the fastest car in the Brera range, but it doesn't always feel like it. We explain why that is. See video

 |
 |
Audi A6 allroad 2.7 TDI
Based on the A6 Avant quattro, the allroad is an SUV for people who don't want an SUV. See video
|

 |
 |
Audi RS 4
Under the bonnet of this car lies a truly remarkable engine whose power is matched by the ability of the chassis. And oh, the noise . . . See video

 |
Audi TT Coupé
The new TT is likely to divide public opinion just as much as the old one did, but we're sure of one thing - it's a lot better to drive. See video
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
BMW Z4 M Coupé
Very attractive and very powerful, the M Coupé nevertheless faces strong opposition from another car in the same range. See video
|

|

 |
 |
Daihatsu Terios
The new, larger Terios is practical and quite fun to live with - as long as you don't plan on going anywhere quickly. See video
|

|

 |
 |
Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCi Zetec
Fiestas don't come much more expensive than this, but the 1.6-litre TDCi turbo diesel engine and the high-spec Zetec trim level make it seem almost worth it. See video

 |
 |
Honda Civic Type R
With just short of 200bhp and a fantastic engine note, the Type R is a real boy racer's hot hatch. See video
|

|

 |
Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 CRTD Five-Seat
Despite not having the badge cachet of other SUVs, the Santa Fe still has a lot going for it. See video
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Jaguar XK Coupé
No commentary on this one - just sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of the wonderful XK. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Lexus IS250 SE Auto
One of those cars which doesn't do exactly what it says on the tin. The IS works well as a small luxury car, but it's not the sports saloon Lexus says it is. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Lexus RX400h
Why should Lexus be criticised for building a hybrid SUV? The performance and economy of the RX400h make it one of the most appealing cars in its class. See video

 |
Mercedes-Benz B 180 CDI SE
In this form, the B-Class isn't as much fun to drive as Mercedes claims, but it's an impressively roomy and practical compact SUV all the same. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Outwardly, the new-generation E-Class isn't much different from the old, but there are around 2000 modifications under the skin. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
For the first time, Mercedes has attempted to combine luxury, space and off-road ability in a single model. Here's the result. See video

 |
Mitsubishi Colt CZC Turbo
Okay, it looks like a tadpole, and does anyone really want a small coupé-convertible that's this quick? But somehow we still liked the CZC Turbo. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Peugeot 207 GT HDi 110
This is Peugeot's diesel hot hatch version of the 207, but does it have the performance or handling to justify the GT badge? See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
SEAT Ibiza 1.2 Reference
The cheapest, most basic and least powerful Ibiza may not set any pulses racing, but it turns out to be a lot more fun than you might think. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
SEAT León TDI FR
This is the hottest turbo diesel in the León range - a dramatic-looking car which is a hoot to drive on a test track. Its road manners, though, are something else. See video
|

 |
 |
Skoda Roomster
After so many years of building conventional cars, Skoda has sprung a big surprise by introducing the radical Roomster to its line-up. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Toyota Yaris 1.4 D-4D T3 Five-Door
The second-generation Yaris isn't as radical as the car it replaces. Disappointed? There's no need to be, because this is still a very fine supermini. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Vauxhall Astra TwinTop 1.8 Sport
Not that sporty, really, but never mind. This relatively humble version of the TwinTop makes a very good case for itself. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Volkswagen Eos 2.0 T-FSI Sport
The Eos is the only coupé-convertible not based directly on another single car. This one has the Golf GTI engine, but it's more of a fast cruiser than a hot hatch. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 FSI Sport
It's just a Golf with a boot, right? Wrong. The Jetta Sport has turned out to be one of the most appealing cars Volkswagen builds. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Volkswagen Urban Fox 1.4
A confusion of concepts, perhaps. The Fox is meant to be a city car, but it has the size and performance of a supermini, and somehow that doesn't quite work. See video
|

|
 |
 |
 |
Volvo C70 T5 SE Lux
Yet another addition to the coupé-convertible line-up, the C70 has its flaws, but it looks so good we can forgive most of them. See video
