7/10Abarth124 Spider£29,515 – £35,515A good-natured daily driver that's rare, looks sporty and offers lots to enjoy. But it's pricey
6/10JeepCompass£25,835 – £32,790More an SUV than a soft-roader. Patchy dynamics but well finished and has good off-road ability
7/10MitsubishiEclipse Cross£21,950 – £29,190The Eclipse Cross is a striking and mostly successful Qashqai rival
6/10RenaultCaptur£17,370 – £24,920Jumped-up Clio is miles less tinny than the old one. Breaks no rules, but it's good-looking, refined and comfy
7/10Abarth500£16,375 – £26,525An addictive little begger that is much better than its list of failings would have you believe.
Best in class8/10FordFiesta£15,770 – £24,130Cracking supermini is one of the best cars Ford makes. Britain’s top seller? It makes you proud.
