Another British best-seller available with a huge number of engine, bodystyle and trim options

Ford is a master of cars for everyday people and the Fiesta is a consistent best-seller
The classic first car, the Fiesta is reliable, cheap to maintain and affordable to run on a budget
Like all Fords the Fiesta is fun to drive in all its forms
Older versions are functional and practical while newer Fiestas have got a lot more stylish inside and out

Arguably all the car you’ll ever actually need, there’s a Golf for everyone, whether it’s a hybrid or hot hatch GTI
Huge range of engines, trims and bodystyles to suit any motoring requirement
Small enough to use around town but refined and grown-up on long journeys too
Understated premium vibe has a classless appeal and great image without coming across as snooty or pushy

A company car favourite, the 3 Series has an upwardly mobile image and a sporty driving style honed over many generations
Broad engine range in both petrol and diesel all carefully configured to minimise business users’ tax liability
Classic saloon format has expanded to include Touring estate variants and two- and four-door coupes

The four-wheeled equivalent of a toolbelt, the Ford Transit is the default choice for workers in all manner of trades
Cheap to buy, affordable to run and tough as old boots, Transits can take a real beating and keep coming back for more

Now expanding into a lifestyle choice to support families who need a practical vehicle to support outdoors activities like surfing or cycling

Renault has been building practical hatchbacks to fit with modern lives for decades and this experience shows
This stylish supermini has always been designed with younger drivers in mind and is a popular first car
As such it’s cheap to buy, affordable to run and commonly offered in eye-catching deals with snazzily-optioned special edition models
Small-capacity engines in newer Clios offer good performance in an insurance-friendly package, perfectly suited to young drivers

4x4s and SUVs now dominate the family car market but there’s still a place for MPVs or people carriers like the Zafira
Incredibly practical, with a small ‘footprint’ on the road but more efficient use of interior space
Flexible seating options especially suited to larger families struggling to fit three or more children into conventional cars
Lower stance makes it easier for loading children and shopping alike, underlining the Zafira’s suitability for hectic lives

The British-built Civic is famous for its practical use of interior space and Honda’s reputation for reliability
These qualities have traditionally made it a favourite for older buyers downsizing from bigger cars
While previous Civics were designed to appeal to this market recent versions have adopted a more radical, eye-catching look to attract younger buyers too
Smooth, refined engines in both petrol and diesel versions mean all Civics are fun to drive while high-performance Type R variants have a passionate enthusiast following
