TOP 10  -  Hungarian GP Review – Toyota beating a Ferrari

While a first time win is always something to celebrate, particularly for a driver as talented as Heikki Kovalainen, the bigger celebration has to be that of Glock and the squad that is known more around the world for their bargain basement Corolla.

TOP 6  -  MAXIMUM MINI

TOP 1  -  Audi A3 Cabriolet 1.8 TFSI Sport

With the new A3 Cabriolet, Audi's understated and rather covetable hatchback gets a soft top for the first time. More than that, it gets a record-breakingly fast one. Push the button located conveniently to the rear of the handbrake, and merely nine seconds later the canvas cover over your head will have sprinted to the back of the car and folded itself tidily against the boot. Clearly we are talking here about the Linford Christie of opening car tops, except without the somewhat distracting controversy.
