Skoda Kodiaq SE 1.4 TSI 150PS DSG
Skoda's good-to-drive new Kodiaq is a serious contender against premium SUVs. Comfortable, roomy, highly-specced, versatile, and well priced.
Audi Q2 Sport 1.4 TFSI 150PS
Four-ring kerb appeal and keen handling partnered with a great 1.4-litre petrol engine — another sure-fire hit.
Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door 1.0 EcoBoost
The 'best' just got a whole lot better; still the benchmark supermini against which competitors must be judged.
