Good: Enjoyable and fun to drive, economical engine, sensibly priced, feels well built, ride harshness over bumps improved for 2011.
Bad: Interior plastics aren't soft to touch, side bump strips a dealer-fit option.

Good: Stylish looks, excellent steering and handling, good quality interior, impressive 2.2-litre chain cam diesel engine, facelifted for 2012 and even better.
Bad: Slightly less spacious inside than old Mazda 3, 1.6-litre petrol is a little lacklustre.

Good: A seriously strong and capable work behicle, much better to drive than previous B-Series pick-up, further improved with 2008 facelift.

Good: Sharply styled compact SUV similar in size to a Kia Sportage or Hyundai ix35.
Bad: Not on sale until 2012.
Good: Sharp styling, handles extremely well for a 4x4, smart and comfortable interior, much more economical 2.2-litre diesel version from 2009.

Good: A great sports car, incredibly nimble, responsive steering, easy to live with day to day, comparatively inexpensive to run, roof is easy to fold down.
Bad: Limited cabin space, radiator requires special coolant, roof not electric.

Good: Electrically folding hard top version of the MX-5, just as good to drive as the standard fabric roof model, top build quality.
Bad: Not much room in the cabin, limited boot space.
Good: Genuine four-seat coupe with unusual rear hinged back doors, very involving to drive, good value for money second hand.
Bad: Will not stand short runs from cold starts, rotary engine lacks torque and needs to be worked very hard most of the time, high CO2 emissions plus poor fuel economy.
