Nissan Skyline Type SP first drive

The latest Skyline's refined, well-appointed, great to drive and bodes well for the forthcoming Nissan GTR. Its European introduction can't come soon enough

Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TFSI first drive

New open-top Audi icon may look derivative rather than innovate like its predecessor, but it's brand new underneath, impressively-engineered with it, and actually pretty good value-for-money

Porsche 911 Targa 4S first drive

It’s not for hardcore 911 fans, and it’s not cheap either, but it is a great compromise between coupe and cabrio 911s. As great to go open-air touring in as it is to tear up a country road.

Volvo C30 D5 SE Sport Geartronic

Five-pot turbodiesel gives the stylish and solid-feeling C30 real motorway shove. Just don't expect it to feel like a 'GTi-D' on a country road, and don't expect it to be cheap

Mazda 3 MPS first drive

Ferociously quick - not that you'd know from looking - the Mazda 3 MPS is an effective overtaking tool, but lacks a little involvement and the chassis balance to keep with the fastest thorugh the corners

Campagna T-rex

Expensive, hugely impractical and lots of fun. But we'd rather have an Ariel Atom.

Porsche 911 GT3 first drive

The purest, most desirable 911 available. Not for the fainthearted.

Volvo XC90 D5 SE Sport first drive

Sport spec makes for a more involving drive - and sleeker look - but without making the XC90 uncomfortable.
