9/10DaciaDuster£10,770 – £18,930A far better car than it needs to be at the price, and we love it for that.
8/10Hyundaii40 Tourer£23,690 – £30,190Another convincing effort from Hyundai and a tempting alternative to the more obvious Mondeo.
7/10Hyundaii40£22,740 – £28,940Hyundai arrives to worry the Ford Mondeo – and the impressive i40 certainly does that.
7/10Fiat500£11,940 – £21,520Technically and mechanically other city cars outstrip it, but emotionally – well, that’s up to you. We understand.
7/10NissanJuke£14,935 – £25,170The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland
7/10HondaJazzn/aNot sexy, not fun, not a heartstring-tugger, but by gum is this a clever car. Brilliantly fit for purpose
6/10FiatTipo£14,915 – £20,910Probably Fiat’s least interesting car, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth ignoring if you love a bargain.
6/10NissanX-Trail£30,555 – £34,260A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas
Editor’s choice6/10DS3£17,090 – £23,260Not as fresh as it was, but ageing gracefully, and still the best DS of the bunch.
5/10MitsubishiASX£20,110 – £25,880It’s not that the ASX is truly bad by any stretch of the imagination, it’s just that its competition is newer. And better.
