• Ford Fiesta (2008-)

Sporty new supermini from blue oval is set to be a winner.

• BMW X5

Now in its second generation, the BMW X5 mixes chunky SUV looks with sharp on road handling.

• BMW 5-Series

Until the arrival of the Jaguar XF, the BMW 5-Seies was the undisputed executive car king.

• BMW 1-Series

The baby BMW was the firm’s first attempt at a family-sized hatchback in nearly 30 years.

• Alfa Romeo 147

Gorgeous Italian styling, perky engines and fun handling should make the 147 extremely desirable.

• Ford Focus

A recent facelift has seen the Focus back near the top of the class. The blue oval family favourite now adds desirability to its exceptional driving dynamics.

• Fiat Bravo

In the face of stiff competition from the Honda Civic and Ford Focus, the Fiat Bravo has gone almost unnoticed. However, that doesn’t mean the capable Italian should be overlooked.
