    Mondeo man has a new set of wheels. And he’ll be very pleased if the new Mondeo goes as well as it looks, particularly the handsome new estate. New tech and the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine sound interesting too.

  • 8: RenaultSport Clio 200

    Renault might upset the purists with its new Clio RS. It’s only available with a turbo engine, five-door body and, most importantly, a dual-clutch gearbox. But once you see it, all concerns evaporate…

    It’s a concept in name, but this is the next Volkswagen Golf GTI, complete with 217bhp 2.0-litre turbo engine. A new performance pack bumps this to 227bhp, and also adds a very clever front differential.

  • 2: Audi A3 Sportback

    The five-door version of the all-new A3 is your runner up. It’s 58mm longer, giving it a bigger boot and more rear passenger room than its predecessor. Two more doors adds £620 to the three-door A3’s price.
