Four Wheel Drive Front Wheel Drive Manual Reviews

This Focus, if you get the better rear suspension, is the sweetest drive in the mainstream hatch class

The Sandero is deservedly doing well: a reasonable car for a frankly astonishing price.

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

Citroen's Fiat Panda - character over driving thrills, but none the worse for that.

Colourful character in a muted part of the market

A thoroughly capable family car that handles far better than it really needs to

Will shake up the city car segment and could become a game-changer for the whole class.

Cracking supermini is one of the best cars Ford makes. Britain’s top seller? It makes you proud.

A fantastic everyday proposition, a hot hatch that's easy to live with. Mostly for good

Peugeot's hot hatch renaissance continues. The 308 GTI has a joyously wild streak

If you like driving, and like small cars, you'll love the Mazda 2.

Softer and a little disappointing: the new RS isn’t what it was. Still fun, but we hoped for more…

It's a sizeable leap, and enough to shove the Polo up to the upper reaches of the supermini order.

Buy without regret: the 3 drives as well as it looks. Very nicely balanced indeed.

Mazda’s new 3 family hatch: low on excitement, high on quiet satisfaction

Cheery and characterful, the new Clio is a genuinely appealing supermini.

A fun car with a practical side, but no longer one of the sharpest hot hatches on sale

More grown up and all the better for it. Priced very keenly too - it's a smart shout.

This is among the best compact estates on sale (partly because it isn’t really compact at all).

Kia improves things yet again. Refinement, styling and interior quality are nearly as good as anything out there. Nearly…

Neither revolutionary in style nor the most exciting to drive, but a very mature car

Toyota has changed more about the little Aygo than you might think, but the dull and rather small cabin keeps it behind the best of the rest
