Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi (2008) review Price: £22,500 09 April 2008 by Adam Towler The Kuga's rivals are nearly collecting their goody bags at the small crossover party, but Ford is only just arriving in its new designer suit.

Honda Accord 2.2 i-DTEC (2008) review Price: £24,900 07 April 2008 by Steve Moody Honda’s European-spec Accord has never really succeeded.

Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDi S-line (2008) review Price: £29,250 03 April 2008 by Dan Trent The Audi A4 Avant exists because not everyone wants an SUV and, while BMW’s 3-series has the ‘medium premium’ saloon market sewn up, when it comes to wagons Audi rules the roost.

Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 DI-D GS4 (2008) review Price: £18,499 31 March 2008 by Nick Trott While the new Lancer Evo X hoovers up all the headlines, Mitsubishi’s ‘standard’ new Lancers are getting ignored.

Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi Titanium (2008) review Price: £19,320 28 March 2008 by Alex Grant Ford’s C-Max has always looked a little dowdy and functional when compared to its sister S-Max. The latter has shrugged off its size with sharp angles and a car-like drive, and shot off forecourts as...

BMW 730Ld SE (2008) review Price: £54,550 13 March 2008 by Glen Waddington Big sports saloon or limo? Actually, the long-wheelbase BMW 7-series aims towards the genuine limo class. And it's huge.

Ford Mondeo Edge 1.8TDCi (2008) review Price: £17,195 05 February 2008 by Glen Waddington You can tell it’s a base model because of the black door handles. Check out the wheels too: 16in steelies with silver-painted plastic hubcaps. Not cool. But base-level Mondeos aren’t about cool.

Jaguar XF 2.7 D Prem Lux (2008) review Price: £37,500 18 January 2008 by Ben Pulman Jaguar's XF 4.0-litre supercharged SV8 is a great car, but along with the naturally aspirated V8 it’ll only account for 5 percent of sales.

Renault Laguna Sport Tourer 2.0 dCi 175 Dynamique S (2008) review Price: £21,400 15 January 2008 by James Foxall Renault’s new Laguna hasn’t impressed us yet.
