Used car expert commentary |
1 |
Honda Accord |
A classy package, well put together and feels more special than the average family car. Superb engines and
value for money. |
2 |
Subaru Forester |
Not quite an off roader, much more than an estate with a sporty edge, making it the perfect combination. Great
all round buy. |
3 |
Mazda MX-5 |
Blueprint for the modern roadster with sweet handling and engines to match. Extremely easy to live with. |
4 |
Mitsubishi Carisma |
Despite the name, not that interesting to look at or drive, but that's not the point. Here is a no-nonsense
hatchback that won't let you down. |
5 |
Toyota Yaris |
Superminis don't come better. Bags of room and perky engines. Probably the best small car buy. |
6 |
Honda Civic |
Solid build quality and good engines are just part of the appeal, the Civic is one of the most spacious small
cars around. Great value. |
7 |
Nissan Almera |
A dull package, but that's no reason to dismiss the Almera which is practical and perfect for the smaller
family who need a big boot and utter reliability. |
8 |
Honda CR-V |
Proof that you don't need an XXXL 4x4. Here is a four-wheel drive estate that is flexible, easy to drive
and own. |
9 |
Toyota RAV4 |
So few four-wheel drives are fun to drive. This car is suitably sporty, but very practical. Expensive used buy
but worth it. |
10 |
Nissan Micra |
The driving school favourite. Tough, fairly roomy, but with its light controls is easy to steer around town. |
