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.

7/10VolkswagenSharan£29,910 – £40,290It’s big, expensive and not especially clever, but it is really, really good at ferrying lots of people about. Really, really quietly.
7/10KiaSportage£20,085 – £34,765Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape
