Product information and further reviews for Cars
Land Rover Defender Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - A Great British icon. Won the TG Best Car Ever award. Rugged, basic, classless. Brilliant.
Porsche Cayenne Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - It's true... someone at Porsche was having a laugh when they designed this freak.
Chevrolet Kalos Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Cheap as chips, but not quite so desirable. Sorry Chevrolet, maybe we'll fancy one next time.
SsangYong Kyron Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Think of the SsanYong Kyron as a cut-price Mercedes-Benz M-Class and you won't be far wrong.
Maserati 4200 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - A much improved car over the flawed 3200, and the GranSport might even make the 911 shiver a bit.
Porsche 911 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - If you were unconvinced about the 911, the 997 model just put paid to your scepticism big time.
Proton GEN-2 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Korean five-door hatchback that's very European in concept, although it's a concept that's five years old.
Peugeot Partner / Citroen Berlingo Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Beneath the badges these two utility MPVs are identical. They boast little comfort but plenty of space.
Ford Galaxy / Seat Alhambra / VW Sharan Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - What was once a state-of-the-art people carrier has got old. But it's good enough to get away with it.
Porsche Cayman S Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - The marriage of the 911 and Boxster has given birth to this, the dazzling Porsche Cayman S.
Lexus IS250 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - The new IS is a serious 3-series killer - Lexus has come up with a car that will rattle BMW's cage.
Subaru Forester Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - A four-wheel-drive estate that'll sneak under the anti-SUV radar. A good performer, and good value too.
Subaru Impreza Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - It may have a new face but it's business as usual for the still frighteningly fast Subaru Impreza.
Citroen C8 / Fiat Ulysse / Peugeot 807 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - The might of European car manufacturing joins together to produce... a rather ugly MPV.
Aston Martin Vantage Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - An Aston Martin for the masses? Not quite. But this is te very finest car that Aston currently makes.
Proton Savvy Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - A new daftly named city car from Proton. In its defence it has five doors and ... that's about it.
Proton Impian Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - The aesthetically challenged Impian was the first car Proton designed and developed in-house. Oh dear.
Subaru Legacy Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Like a fine wine, the Legacy has improved with age, and has even become a fairly premium choice.
TVR Sagaris Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - TVR's best car ever, named after an ancient axe. Has all the subtlety of a DayGlo chainsaw at dinner.
SsangYong Rexton Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Watch fellow drivers rubberneck in horror as they overtake your hideous proportions.
Alfa 147 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - If only Alfa could get its reliability and dealers sorted, the 147 would be irresistible.
Aston Martin DB9 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - An Aston that leaves nothing to be desired. Perhaps the most stylish V12 GT in the world today.
Lexus LS Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - A big barge with outstanding standard equipment but poor economy and questionable looks.
Smart Roadster Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - It's like a sportscar, only smaller. Turbo lawnmower that makes a lot of sense in a world of Gatsos.
Lexus SC430 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - As pretty as roadkill, but a lot of luxury for the money. One for the free-thinkers perhaps.
Range Rover Sport Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Lower, quicker and meaner than its brother, the Range Rover Sport rocks.
Land Rover Discovery Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - The new Disco rasies the bar for the latest generation of 4x4s. Read and learn.
Range Rover Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - British off-roading at its best. The Range Rover is a serious pose-mobile.
Daihatsu Terios Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - The new Terios may be all grown up with more space and a better build quality, but it's still a baby SUV.
Lexus GS Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Bold new styling for the Lexus flagship has improved its looks no end. Now everyone will want one.
Cadillac CTS Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Big, brash and American... and trying to take sales off the popular Bavarian duo. Get real Yankee.
Chevrolet Lacetti Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Good value, bargain, deal-tastic - however you package it, 'Chevrolet' here means 'cheap'.
Daihatsu Sirion Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - It had to be better than the Charade and it is. All hail the 'actually-alright-as-it-goes' Sirion.
Daihatsu Charade Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - It's difficult to see what strange, nihilistic urge could draw you into the driving seat of one of these.
SSangYong Rodius Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - One of the most hideous designs ever. Could be called a 'chastity car' for its affect on the opposite sex.
Cadillac BLS Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Cadillac's new small executive saloon. It's no 3-Series, but it's an interesting alternative for the brave.
Audi A8 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Audi's waftiest proposition yet. The A8 is a super saloon with everything fitted as standard.
Toyota Land Cruiser Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - Reliable and worthy, Toyota's Land Cruiser is a quality and desirable four-wheel drive.
BMW X3 Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - So, what is this? Wow, it's a cheap-feeling BMW that's priced itself out of its niche... d'oh.
Chevrolet Tacuma Top Gear Magazine 6/2006 - It's not great in any respect, but it's cheap and has the might of GM behind it. It'll do for now.

Cars are divided into classes based on the purchase price, features, engine power and vehicle size. Beginning in ascending order with the smallest cars usually for the smaller budgets, these make ideal city or fun cars because of their agility. Slightly larger small cars (which are available in a wide variety of models) are generally kind to both your wallet and the environment as they use a low amount of fuel, which therefore makes them an attractive second car option. A common characteristic for compact cars is the hatchback and folding rear seats arrangement which is handy for transporting bulky items. In the midsize car range, estate cars are popular for families, particularly due to their efficiency, whereas shoppers in the upper middle class who place more emphasis on comfort may prefer a saloon car. In the image-conscious luxury car class, high quality interior, equipment and high performance engines usually come as standard, whereas sports car buyers are looking for a vehicle with high driving performance and a sporty design. Cabriolets, which are based on the sporty Coupé models, are available in most vehicle classes to provide a bit of driving fun. 4x4s, Jeeps and SUV's have been designed for driving off-road but many now also combine extra comfort to make them more suitable for travelling. With vans and minibuses now of varying sizes, more attention is being paid to the comfortable transportation of people and luggage. Small transporters are particularly used for carrying loads, while caravans, mobile homes and campervans are readily available for the holiday maker. Some car manufacturers have already developed hybrid cars for the more environmentally conscious consumers, these combine an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The boundaries between the upper and lower ends of each car class and the next class up or down now seem to have blurred so there is no longer a clear distinction.
