8/10CitroenC4 Cactus£21,455 – £23,800Citroen's Fiat Panda - character over driving thrills, but none the worse for that.
7/10Mercedes-BenzGLA£24,915 – £36,420A likeable thing. Go for a higher powertrain and it makes most sense.
6/10JeepCompass£25,465 – £32,440More an SUV than a soft-roader. Patchy dynamics but well finished and has good off-road ability
6/10CitroenC4 Cactus£21,455 – £23,800While still a comfy, useful hatchback, the C4 Cactus's move mainstream has taken away its class hero status
6/10KiaProceed£24,065 – £28,825A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed
5/10InfinitiQ30£20,730 – £37,375Suffers from exactly the same flaw as every other Infiniti – the only reason you’d buy one is because it’s rare-groove different. Not necessarily better.
