Honest verdicts, ratings and owner insight on the UK's most-bought cars — so you know the model before you buy the car.
Supremely refined and built like a vault. Not the last word in fun, but a brilliant long-distance companion.
A baby S-Class — plush, tech-laden and hushed. Best enjoyed cruising rather than charging down a B-road.
The all-rounder benchmark — grown-up to drive, practical and efficient. The infotainment is the weak link.
Still the keen driver's family hatch. Great to drive and good value used, if a touch tighter on space than rivals.
The sensible-shoes champion — hybrid efficiency, bulletproof reliability and low running costs. Not thrilling, very dependable.
Fast, efficient and brilliantly connected. The Supercharger network and software set it apart; the minimalist cabin won't suit everyone.
Desirable, plush and great off-road for a compact SUV. Watch the running costs and check the history carefully.
