Small Family Cars
FIRST
Ford Focus
59 variants
from £17,870 to £27,575
The second generation Focus keeps much of the distinctive styling that made the original so popular, while adding a welcome injection of quality to the experience. As before it's great to drive, but now it's also far more refined and comfortable. Passenger accommodation is good and the boot offers decent volume, although it's relatively shallow compared to some rivals. Ford's vast array of different trim options can be confusing, although all versions offer six airbags, ABS anti-skid brakes, electric front windows and central locking.

SECOND
Volkswagen Golf
47 variants
from £14,850 to £30,675
The Golf is a brilliant all-rounder - spacious, fun to drive it offers a real feeling of class that its rivals can't match. Inside the cabin there's loads of space, especially for front seat occupants thanks to a multi-adjustable driving position. Rear passenger accommodation is decent, too - and there's also a nice, hungry boot. As with the last generation Golf, this one's interior has been carefully engineered to give off quality vibes. Equipment levels are strong - all now come with air conditioning, eight airbags and traction control as standard.

THIRD
Citroen C4
11 variants
from £14,395 to £18,995
A welcome return to form from Citroen. The C4 is one of the best of the current crop of family hatchbacks, combining strong design and brilliant equipment levels with the usual Citroen virtues of plentiful equipment and ultra-competitive pricetags. Style is more than skin deep - the C4's cabin is spacious and very well designed, featuring neat details like a centrally mounted instrument pack and a "floating hub" steering wheel, the centre of which stays still as you turn the rim to make it easier to use the switches mounted on it.
