2022 Subaru WRX Review: Party of One
The verdict: Starting around $30,000, the manual 2022 Subaru WRX is an inherently fun and unique all-wheel-drive performance car.

2022 Lexus LX 600 Review: A Flagship Needs to Be Better
The verdict: Flashy to the point of gaudiness, expensive but flimsy-feeling, big outside but not inside, Lexus’ flagship SUV drives well but is disappointing overall. Versus the competition: Competitors from BMW, Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz are more luxurious and higher-tech, while Cadillac, Jeep and Lincoln offer SUVs that are more reserved in their styling and more comfortable in their spacious…

Used Renault Clio (Mk5, 2019-date) review
Verdict It's more than three decades since the Clio burst onto the scene, advertised in the famous Nicole and Papa TV adverts. Since then, Renault's stylish supermini has matured superbly, and while it isn’t quite as small as it used to be (the Clio Mk5 is 30cm longer and 16cm wider than the original), that just makes it more usable,…

BMW M4 Coupe review
Pros Superb handling Potent engine Practical for the class Cons Heavy Polarising design Tight rear headroom A new generation of BMW M3 and BMW M4 is a big occasion for keen drivers, because the cars have a rock-solid reputation for being astonishingly competent performance cars.
