9/10RenaultMegane Renaultsport£17,495 – £23,155The Megane 265 is a brilliant hot hatch that trumps the Golf for thrills, but not user-friendliness.
7/10HondaCR-V£23,490 – £35,595All-new CR-V is a big step up. Not perfect, but a worthy rival to the best in this class
7/10RenaultMegane£17,495 – £23,155Looks great, feels classy. Worth a look, Volkswagen and Ford owners.
7/10HondaCivic Tourer£18,590 – £25,165The Civic Tourer’s all about one thing: space. Want more than one thing? Consider a Golf Estate.
7/10RenaultClio 200 Renaultsport£13,280 – £21,595Softer and a little disappointing: the new RS isn’t what it was. Still fun, but we hoped for more…
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
7/10RenaultScenic£19,015 – £27,330MPV sales are down, but the stylish Scenic has every chance of reversing the trend.
7/10RenaultTwingo£10,530 – £13,235As entertaining and satisfying as the old Twingo was mundane and mediocre.
7/10RenaultClio£13,280 – £21,595Cheery and characterful, the new Clio is a genuinely appealing supermini.
7/10HondaHR-V£24,745 – £26,625Not as good to drive as we hoped, but the interior design and space makes up for it. Solid effort
7/10HondaJazzn/aNot sexy, not fun, not a heartstring-tugger, but by gum is this a clever car. Brilliantly fit for purpose
7/10RenaultZoe£21,865 – £31,465The Zoe was already a strong EV contender – extra power and range makes it more convincing than ever
