OUR CHOICE

VW Polo

+ Solid build quality, Supple Ride, Excellent gearshift, Fuel efficient diesel engine.

- Pedestrian engines, Missing common equip-ments, Ultra light steer-ing, Not the driver’s car we were hoping for.

Honda Jazz

+ Space age looks, practicality, image, flex-ibility, fuel efficiency, quality, perfect for the urban landscape

- Might expensive, Could do with a 1.5 VTEC engine to justify the price tag.

Hyundai i20

+ Refined petrol, auto-matic option in 1.4, killer diesel, impressive list of equipments

- Diesel is expensive, suffers from turbo lag, handling could have been sharper.

OUR CHOICE

Skoda Laura

+ Scintillanting perfor-mance from the 1.8TSI, exciting 2.0 diesel, hatch back practicality

- Skoda service network and reliability, Sun roof and paddle shifts miss-ing in the 2.0TDI

Chevrolet Cruze

+ Looks, features like keyless entry found in more expensive cars, strong diesel, Gopd value for money

- Turbo lag, interiors feel cheap, lack of pet-rol option

Toyota Corolla

+ Sensible, mature looks, features, drivabil-ity, reliability

- Lacks excitement, never gets any atten-tion - when was the last time you really noticed one on the streets ?
