Car reviews
The latest new car reviews from The Car Expert crew. Includes taster tests, first UK drives, full reviews and long-term tests.
Abarth 595 Esseesse test drive
As something to give you a bit of a laugh, the Abarth 595 Esseesse is a compelling thing. If we’re honest though, it’s a bit rubbish as a serious hot hatch.
Renault Clio test drive
The 2020 Renault Clio is a big step forward compared to its predecessor and makes key improvements to the interior and driving experience.
Toyota C-HR test drive
The Toyota C-HR is one of the more expensive cars in its class, but it makes up for it with low running costs. It's easy to live with and boldly styled.
Porsche Macan Turbo test drive
The Porsche Macan Turbo has a lot going for it, managing to be fast and fun to drive. It sounds great when you’re pushing it and it’s rewarding in corners.
Renault Captur test drive
It’s rare for a car to absolutely nail its brief, but the Renault Captur manages it and feels far more well-rounded than just about all of its rivals.
Lexus RC F test drive
The Lexus RC F is very much an old-school machine, with a 5.0-litre V8 engine that is something to behold in an era of turbocharging and electrification.
Peugeot 2008 test drive
There’s much to like about the new Peugeot 2008. It drives well enough, has more than enough equipment and offers a spacious interior for this size of car.
Skoda Superb Estate test drive
This facelift may only bring marginal changes to the Skoda Superb, but with a fresher look and additional kit, it's helped to strengthen it further.
Mazda CX-30 review
The Mazda CX-30 may not be much smaller than a CX-5 or larger than a CX-3, but it's the best of all worlds with stylish looks and impressive quality.
Fiat 500 Hybrid test drive
The Fiat 500 Hybrid (actually a mild hybrid) is smooth and efficient, but it offers limited performance and is little better than the regular petrol model.
Tesla Model 3 test drive
It might not appeal on an emotional level, but the Tesla Model 3 manages to be fast yet serene, packed full of appealing tech and practical to boot.
Vauxhall Corsa review
The new Corsa is by far the most impressive new Vauxhall we’ve driven for a while. It looks good, performs well on the road and is efficient.
