We built it, raced it and enjoyed it on road. Now it's gone, the grieving begins

So much to like, but now it's time to talk about the negatives that niggle

Its SUV practicality doesn't stop the Q5 being a great driver's car

A dull, sensible Swede? Far from it. Our XC90 proved charming and practical in equal measure

Flawed but fun, the little Vauxhall can’t live with Ford’s finest, but leaves us with a bigger than expected vacuum in our lives

Our time with the 500X has come to an end. How will we remember it? Funny you should ask…

There are more thrilling hatches out there, but none that does so much so well
