New MINI Countryman looks the same as before, but is bigger and more practical inside. Great quality and fun to drive, but it's expensive.

Classy, refined, good to look at inside and out - Hyundai’s new i30 is a competitive hatchback.

Want a small car with all the trimmings? The new turbocharged Volkswagen up! is one to consider.

We drive the daddy of all diesel SUVs on Irish roads, the triple-turbo Audi SQ7.

It shouldn't work, but a 1.0-litre petrol engined Skoda Octavia is one of the picks of the whole range.

New Micra is a light year leap forward compared to the old model. Good to look at and really good to drive.
