Hatchback Diesel Reviews

8/10

Skoda

Octavia

£19,480 – £28,500

Skoda might just have turned things on its head. You’d now recommend an Octavia over a VW Golf or Seat Leon

8/10

Peugeot

£20,920 – £30,480

A job well done. The Golf is better, but not by much.

8/10

Audi

£22,500 – £37,925

Fussy design inside and out doesn’t spoil a really rather good family hatchback

8/10

Seat

£18,645 – £32,250

Spain’s strongest attempt to out-Golf the Golf yet. A stylish, well-equipped and cheaper version of its German cousin

7/10

Skoda

£19,480 – £28,500

Solid, gimmick-free all-rounder that’s slightly less good at everything than a Golf, but cheaper for it.

7/10

Audi

£22,500 – £37,925

The definitive example of rock-solid, sensible, impeccable German engineering

6/10

Seat

£18,645 – £32,250

Seat’s strongest car in a long time, the Leon is now a Golf-baiting player.
