• Aston Martin DB9

Not quite the complete package, but the Aston Martin DB9 is still better than ever.

• MINI Clubman Cooper D

The desirable Cooper D is a very funky way of going green.

• Skoda Fabia GreenLine

Not quite as green or as economical as other VW Group eco-models.

• Chevrolet Aveo

While the Aveo is well equipped and keenly priced, that’s not enough to make it a good buy.

• Ford Kuga

The Ford Kuga looks sharp, has a top-quality cabin and drives really well.

• BMW 1-Series

The 118d proves that low-emission, high-economy cars can be exciting, too.

• SEAT Ibiza ECOmotive

The ECOmotive is a taste of green cars to come from the Spanish firm.
