Proves hydrogen-powered cars can provide levels of performance and refinement that are within touching distance of their petrol-powered siblings.

Renault Grand Scenic 2.0 dCi

Super-versatile seven-seat MPV now gets a powerful diesel to speed your family to its destination. One of the best MPVs out there, and not bad to drive, either.

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

BMW 335d SE coupe first drive

Beefed-up twin-turbo diesel is the perfect complement to the new 3-series coupe.

Toyota Auris 1.6 first drive

A key new car for Toyota in Europe. Steps up the style, image and ability over its Corolla predecessor.

Honda CR-V 2.0 i-VTEC EX first drive

Good to drive, well packaged and feels well built. Just lacks some pizzazz.

BMW 325i SE coupe first drive

Something of an oddity, and slightly underwhelming in terms of performance. But the whole package is well sorted and at this price, there are no obvious rivals.
