OverviewVolkswagen threw a lot of cash at their new Mk6 Golf, with extensive sheet metal changes and an all-new interior. But not every carmaker has their resources: Skoda's efforts to freshen up the Octavia for 2009 are a little more modest.In comes the new corporate face, adopting new light clusters and a grille that stretches across the bonnet, while at the rear there are new tail lamps.

OverviewThe Ford Fiesta has long been one of Europe's favourite small cars - a runaway success from first launch in 1976, it defined the then-new so-called 'supermini' sector and more than 12million Fiestas have been sold to date. Ford has high hopes for this new model, on sale in the UK from October 2008: it's going global, from Asia to America.As ever, there's an extensive range of versions to

OverviewCitroen's striking new C4 was a fine replacement for the lacklustre Xsara both on the road and the rally circuit - Sebastien Loeb won the 2007 World Rally Championships in a C4 WRC.Roadgoing C4s come in two very different-looking body-styles. The five-door has a rounded tail a little like the smaller C3's, while the three-door Coupé has a chopped-off rump reminiscent of an early Honda CRX

What is it?It's mid-life refresh time for BMW's most popular model - the 3 Series. All the changes are cosmetic, apart from the modified powerplant in the 330d we've sampled here. BMW is calling its 3.0-litre engine new, although in truth it's a heavy revision of the previous, multi-award winning, one. Away from the 330d, there are no engineering changes, but some reasonably major cosmetic ones.

What is it?Infiniti is the upmarket division of Nissan, due for launch in the middle of next year, but a brand that has existed, mostly for the benefit of the US market, since the late 1980s. Many of its products are US oriented as a result, and the four-strong range of saloon, coupe and two SUVs that it is directing Europe's way underline this, although there's no doubt that they have some

What is it? More than ever the Cayman S is now a serous threat to its 911 relatives. The previous Cayman S always felt like it was being reined in by Porsche to prevent it taking sales from its key model. With the new Cayman S Porsche has changed that, the 3.4-litre engine delivering more forceful performance thanks to the addition of 25bhp. That's enough to push the Cayman S above the 300bhp

What is it?Seat is keen to emphasis its commitment to the environment, in particular its triumph in the World Touring Car Championships in 2008 with the Leon TDI - the first diesel car to win the Championship, securing both the constructors and divers titles. But the model in the spotlight today is a low emission version of the new Ibiza. This is the third model in Seat's Ecomotive low-emission

What is it? The future apparently, and really we're not about to argue. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a battery-powered version of Mitsubishi's narrow-but-tall city i car. Its small internal combustion engine has been replaced with some batteries and an electric motor. Crucially, it's a production car rather than merely an experiment or limited-run programme. Mitsubishi is planning on bringing around

What is it?There are solar panels in its roof. Body panels made from a substance that you might have a good time smoking. And though it has been built for fuel economy and low emissions, this Lotus is even quicker than standard. The Eco Elise is an experiment intended to improve the green credentials of a car in its entirety. Lotus's modifications have concentrated not so much on the Elise's

What is it?Car manufacturers might have been falling over themselves in recent years to produce ever more elegant and complex folding hard-tops for their convertibles, but Audi isn't following the crowd.Like BMW's forthcoming 1-Series drop-top, the new Cabriolet version of the A3 is sticking to the tried-and-tested traditional fabric roof. Why? Partly it's for better packaging, partly due to

What is it?According to Kia, this is their 'first aspirational car'. But, in simpler terms, the oddly named pro_cee'd (yes, that's its official title) is the three-door version of the five-door cee'd hatchback that was launched just under a year ago. However, rather than just filling in a couple of doors to create the new model, Kia has decided to follow the path already trodden by Vauxhall with

The previous one could hardly have been more wrong, a car doomed at birth by its frumpy, slab-sided styling and instant, image-trashing discounting. This time the C5 plays the premium-wannabe game, like the Ford Mondeo and Renault Laguna but, judging by styling that brings back an almost-forgotten notion of beauty in cars, more

Over the past decade, Audi has made huge inroads into the full-size-sedan (and station wagon) market in Europe. A lot of buyers have been disappointed with the Bangled styling of the BMW 5-series and left cold by the conservative Mercedes E-class. As a result, the fast lane on the autobahn is all but dominated by corporate Germany's armada of black, xenon-headlamp-armed Audi A6 sedans and wagons.

In fashionable world of sport sedans, the VW Passat has always been the wallflower in the gray wool suit: well dressed, if conservative. The style mavens at Volkswagen are hoping to change that image with the new 2009 Passat CC.What they've attempted to do is turn the Passat, a sedan homogenized for global consumption, into a Euro-cool, haute couture ensemble. To this end, VW designers and

OverviewThe Golf has to be one of the most desirable cars of this size. The first-generation model of 1974 redefined the small family car genre, the Mk 2 was the posh hatch to have in the '80s, comprehensively outclassing contemporary Escorts, Astras and all its competitors, and whilst the larger, heavier Mk 3 and Mk 4 have been conservative and stodgy to drive, none of that has put buyers off:

Toyota AvensisFirst DriveA good product, but not as distinctive as we wanted it to be. That is how Toyota described the old Avensis. It’s not often that a manufacturer owns up to making a less than successful car, but we wouldn’t argue — the old Avensis was dull. This time, Toyota says, we’re getting an Avensis of “cutting edge position”, shot through with “European innovative dynamism”. No, I’m

However good this new Mercedes-Benz C-class is, it nevertheless presents its creators with a tricky problem: its image. Its only serious rivals in the executive saloon class are the Audi A4 and BMW 3-series. Smooth and stylish types identify easily with the Audi; thrusting go-getters form disorderly lines outside BMW dealerships; the C-class, meanwhile, is the kind of car you expect to see being
