An exceptionally economical small automatic with strong safety equipment and a reassuring ownership record.

A roomy, honest hatchback that puts value and everyday usability ahead of unnecessary polish.

Huge space, calm motorway manners and sensible fuel economy make this an excellent all-round family estate.

A practical, easy-going hybrid crossover with useful space and the reassurance of Kia’s long warranty.

A spacious, well-equipped family SUV with distinctive design and a smooth full-hybrid powertrain.
MazdaCX-5
Mazda CX-5 review
A high-quality family SUV with naturally weighted controls, proven petrol power and a genuinely pleasant cabin.
TeslaModel 3

Fast, efficient and easy to charge on long trips, but insurance and quality consistency deserve careful checking.

A refined and remarkably economical motorway saloon with excellent seats, controls and long-distance composure.
ToyotaCorolla

A spacious, dependable hybrid estate that delivers outstanding economy without asking the family to travel light.
SkodaCitigo
Skoda Citigo review
A tiny, tough and cheap-to-run city car that remains one of the smartest first-car buys.
VolkswagenGolf
Volkswagen Golf review
A refined all-round hatchback with efficient petrol power, though early infotainment deserves a careful test.
KiaCeed
Kia Ceed review
A well-equipped, spacious estate with a long warranty and lower used prices than the obvious class favourites.
ToyotaAygo
Toyota Aygo review
A dependable, easy-to-place city car with low costs and more personality than its modest performance suggests.
ToyotaAygo X
Toyota Aygo X review
A distinctive small automatic with modern safety kit and low insurance groups, best kept mainly to town and suburban journeys.
FordFiesta
Ford Fiesta review
A superb-driving, efficient supermini; Titanium is the sensible all-round trim, but engine-specific servicing evidence matters.
FordFocus
Ford Focus review
A spacious, polished family hatch with excellent road manners; the 125 PS Titanium is the rational petrol choice.
NissanQashqai
Nissan Qashqai review
A comfortable, manageable family crossover; the later 1.3 petrol is the most convincing mainstream J11 version.
VauxhallCorsa
Vauxhall Corsa review
A light, efficient and well-equipped supermini, but the 1.2 Turbo demands unusually careful service-history checks.
HondaCivic
Honda Civic review
A spacious, distinctive family hatch with lively performance, a rewarding manual gearbox and unusually generous driver-assistance equipment.
RenaultClio
Renault Clio review
A polished, economical supermini with an upmarket cabin, useful technology and enough motorway composure to work beyond the city.
VolvoXC40
Volvo XC40 review
A comfortable, characterful premium compact SUV with an excellent cabin, strong safety record and useful B3 automatic performance.
Peugeot3008
Peugeot 3008 review
A stylish, comfortable and spacious family SUV whose efficient diesel suits long journeys, provided recall and service evidence are exemplary.
AudiA3
Audi A3 review
A polished premium hatch with an efficient 150 PS petrol engine, an excellent driving position and broad everyday ability, provided its exact equipment is checked.
Mercedes-BenzA-Class
Mercedes-Benz A-Class review
A stylish, easy-going premium hatch whose dramatic MBUX cabin and flexible A200 petrol engine appeal more strongly than its rear space or ultimate ride polish.
MINIHatch
MINI Hatch review
A characterful four-seat small hatch with eager 1.5-litre performance, excellent controls and real long-distance ability, offset by a tiny boot and patchy option consistency.
JaguarXE
Jaguar XE review
A handsome, exceptionally satisfying sports saloon whose efficient D200 diesel and much-improved facelift cabin suit long journeys, provided history and space work for you.
SEATLeon
SEAT Leon review
A roomy, good-value family hatch with a flexible 150 PS petrol engine, mature road manners and strong everyday connectivity, held back mainly by screen-heavy controls.
CitroenC3
Citroen C3 review
A characterful, comfortable automatic supermini whose late Plus specification is appealing, provided the exact PureTech engine history and timing-belt condition withstand scrutiny.
Fiat500
Fiat 500 review
A charming, economical two-person city car with low group-8 insurance and useful phone integration, but dated safety, tight rear accommodation and modest open-road performance.
CupraFormentor
Cupra Formentor review
A distinctive, spacious crossover with composed handling and strong standard equipment; the 150 PS DSG is sensible rather than genuinely sporting and needs a thorough software check.
SuzukiSwift
Suzuki Swift review
A light, economical and unusually lively small car whose well-equipped SZ5 mild hybrid is easy to place and inexpensive to fuel, although insurance is not class-leading.
MGZS EV
MG ZS EV review
A spacious, generously equipped electric family SUV whose facelift Long Range battery makes touring realistic, with price and practicality ahead of cabin polish and rapid-charging speed.
Land RoverDiscovery Sport
Land Rover Discovery Sport review
A refined, capable and genuinely versatile premium SUV whose D200 diesel suits long family journeys, but whose third row is occasional and ownership demands a serious contingency budget.
Alfa RomeoGiulietta
Alfa Romeo Giulietta review
A handsome, characterful alternative to conventional family hatchbacks, with a strong 150 hp petrol engine and appealing Speciale trim—provided maintenance evidence is exceptionally clear.
