The Toyota 86 offers big value on the ‘smiles per mile’ scale. It may not be the quickest in a straight line, but few can match it for fun factor through the bends.

Boom, boom, boom goes the baby SUV as Renault, Mazda and Honda throw sexy new metal into this fast-growing segment

In many ways the Porsche Cayman is the ultimate sports car. Brilliant to look at and expertly engineered, it’s also practical and comfortable enough to use every day, yet remains one of the best driver’s cars currently on sale, no matter which variant you choose.

Snackable Review: Renault Megane RS275 Trophy-R
