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.
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£30,235 – £34,260A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas
6/10HondaJazzn/aUnbelievably roomy, versatile, and easy to recommend. But would you want one yourself? That's a harder question...
Editor’s choice6/10DS3£17,090 – £23,260Not as fresh as it was, but ageing gracefully, and still the best DS of the bunch.
7/10Hyundaii40£22,415 – £28,615Hyundai arrives to worry the Ford Mondeo – and the impressive i40 certainly does that.
7/10NissanJuke£14,935 – £25,170The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland
8/10Hyundaii40 Tourer£23,675 – £29,865Another convincing effort from Hyundai and a tempting alternative to the more obvious Mondeo.
9/10DaciaDuster£10,770 – £18,930A far better car than it needs to be at the price, and we love it for that.
