Can a versatile estate match the strong eco credentials of the latest hatches? The Skoda Octavia can. Fitted with the perky 1.6-litre TDI engine, the load carrier blends 62.8mpg economy with a 605-litre boot. This increases to a van-like 1,655 litres if you fold the rear seats.
On the move, the Skoda mixes cornering composure with great comfort, while the high-spec cabin rivals premium models for quality. Add first-rate customer service, and the car looks great value, starting at £16,545 for the base S.

This is the only car that may make me go from ford Mondeo, but does not have cruise control for my long drives on the Motor way and Autobahn.
