Driver Power stars

Every year, Auto Express polls the people who matter to bring you the ultimate guide to customer satisfaction. Our Driver Power survey is one of the biggest of its kind in the industry, with thousands of respondents every year telling us what they think of the car they drive. In this section of our road test special, we pick eight of the best new models money can buy based on their findings. If you want a hassle-free ownership experience, there is no better judge of a car than someone who lives with it day in and day out…
