HOT HATCH OF THE YEAR HONDA CIVIC TYPE R
YOU'D be forgiven for thinking we'd made a simple decision in giving the Civic Type R this award two years in a row. But the reality is quite different, because it's had to overcome two hard-charging rivals that could have very easily taken the top spot.

COUPE OF THE YEAR BMW 2 SERIES COUPE
IT’S understandable that much of BMW’s range has moved with the times, because high demand for SUVs from buyers plus lower appetite for smaller, sportier models has seen the brand drift away from its previous mantra of “the ultimate driving machine” to instead offer ever more comfortable and refined – yet still engaging - models instead.

One minute we were rubbing in the sun cream, the next hunkering under brollies as the good old UK weather kept the British Touring Car Championship guessing at bucolic Oulton Park. The series' annual excursion to the Cheshire circuit signalled the season's halfway mark, and as usual a huge crowd descended ahead of the July summer break.

One of my other 13 cars is another MP4
Unfortunately, on seeing a McLaren MP4-12C the first thing you want to ask its owner is how its software, door locks, airbags and headlights are behaving. “Faults with these were blown out of proportion by some journalists,” counters Peter Hogan. “For example, it turned out that the door latches were easily fixed. Then some people whinged about the gearboxes failing but probably only one in 300 was a problem. My car has experienced none of the infotainment glitches reported by the press. The radio works. The sat-nav is a bit old-school but I love it.”
