1<\/span> PORSCHE 911<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE GOOD:<\/strong> <\/span>Style, like 911s, never goes out of fashion<\/p>\n

THE BAD:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>The base Carrera now costs almost \u00a3100k \u2013 yet that\u2019s not enough to stop it being a clear class winner; road noise now up to 11<\/p>\n

THE UGLY:<\/strong><\/span> 992 \u2018wide body\u2019 no longer the lithe sports car of old; canny options list pushes you to spend like a lottery winner<\/p>\n

THE ONE TO BUY:\u00a0<\/strong>Carrera S with the PDK gearbox for \u00a3110k on the nose; the Sport Chrono package is bundled in, but you\u2019ll still pay for the Porsche badges on the wheels to be coloured in<\/p>\n

2<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ARIEL ATOM<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE GOOD:<\/strong> <\/span>A beautiful object as well as a thrilling drive; think of it as a modernised Lotus Seven crossed with a high-end sports bike<\/p>\n

THE BAD:<\/span> <\/strong>You\u2019ll need bike-style wet-weather gear if it\u2019s raining. And at least \u00a340k \u2013 this is an expensive toy, if a captivating one<\/p>\n

THE UGLY:<\/strong><\/span> The 4R is even more bonkers<\/p>\n

THE ONE TO BUY: <\/strong>Do you really need the 350bhp power upgrade option?<\/p>\n

3<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>PORSCHE 718 CAYMAN\/BOXSTER<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE GOOD:<\/strong> <\/span>Sublime handling; surprising practicality<\/p>\n

THE BAD:<\/span> <\/strong>Less characterful than an Alpine; such an obvious choice it\u2019s almost boring<\/p>\n

THE UGLY:<\/strong><\/span> Flat-four versions sound like a VW Beetle in a duet with Eeyore<\/p>\n

THE ONE TO BUY: <\/strong>GT4 RS the most thrilling, Spyder is ace, but flat-six GTS 4.0 is a cut-price GT4 at \u00a373k<\/p>\n

4<\/span><\/span> <\/span>LOTUS EMIRA<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE GOOD:<\/strong> <\/span>The first new Lotus in years is fantastically well resolved. Usable, desirable and thrilling<\/p>\n

THE BAD:<\/span> <\/strong>Harder work to live with than a Cayman<\/p>\n

THE UGLY:<\/strong><\/span> The last petrol Lotus \u2013 just as the company gets the financial stability to build on its brilliance<\/p>\n

THE ONE TO BUY: <\/strong>AMG-sourced four is an interesting but pricey addition<\/p>\n

5<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ALPINE A110<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE GOOD:<\/strong> <\/span>The perfectly formed antidote to a world of excess; a modern classic in every sense of the term<\/p>\n

THE BAD:<\/span> <\/strong>Two boots, neither big, and not much oddment storage inside<\/p>\n

THE UGLY:<\/strong><\/span> \u2018R\u2019 is 34kg lighter \u2013 some effort \u2013 but also nearly \u00a3100k. Too much<\/p>\n

THE ONE TO BUY: <\/strong>A110 S adds handling poise for \u00a367,490 but \u00a354,490 base A110 is all you need<\/p>\n
