8/10SeatAteca£21,660 – £35,090A first-time entrant from Seat that feels like they’ve been practicing for years.
8/10SeatLeon Cupra£17,645 – £33,040Not as cheap as you’d expect, but still one of the best hot hatches on sale.
7/10SeatIbiza£12,905 – £18,080If you need a roomy supermini this is about your last stop before a Honda Jazz. But it lacks the involvement of some older superminis.
7/10SeatAlhambra£27,020 – £37,755Seat’s most complete car. It has no real weaknesses – but we just know you’d rather have the VW…
7/10SeatLeon ST£18,640 – £34,425Only the interior isn't as good as the Golf. Beyond that, there's not a lot to split the Leon ST.
6/10SmartForTwo£9,820 – £24,940Far, far better than the last one, but still likely to remain a niche purchase.
6/10SmartForFour£10,315 – £22,230A Renault Twingo that’s not quite so cool as a Renault Twingo. Sorry.
6/10SeatLeon£17,645 – £33,040Seat’s strongest car in a long time, the Leon is now a Golf-baiting player.
4/10SeatToledo£18,175 – £20,175A Seat that takes the brand back to its roots, the Toledo is unassuming but able.
