7/10RenaultClio 200 Renaultsport£12,230 – £22,740Softer and a little disappointing: the new RS isn’t what it was. Still fun, but we hoped for more…
7/10HondaJazz£13,900 – £18,610Not sexy, not fun, not a heartstring-tugger, but by gum is this a clever car. Brilliantly fit for purpose

7/10HondaHR-V£19,105 – £26,665Not as good to drive as we hoped, but the interior design and space makes up for it. Solid effort
7/10RenaultCaptur£15,140 – £22,925If it ain't broke, don't fix it; updated Captur is still one of the better small crossovers on sale
