7/10AudiA5 Sportback£34,525 – £56,240Beautifully built and beautiful to look at. But the A4 is 98 per cent as good, cheaper and less pretentious.
7/10RenaultMegane£17,515 – £23,630Looks great, feels classy. Worth a look, Volkswagen and Ford owners.
7/10VolkswagenArteon£32,480 – £41,605Good looking, spacious and well equipped, but it’s missing on that oh-so-important ‘buy-me’ factor...
7/10AudiA3£22,500 – £37,925The definitive example of rock-solid, sensible, impeccable German engineering
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.
6/10RenaultClio£13,870 – £21,595Neither revolutionary in style nor the most exciting to drive, but a very mature car
6/10SeatLeon£18,645 – £31,095Seat’s strongest car in a long time, the Leon is now a Golf-baiting player.
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.
