Auto Express New Car Awards 2016: Compact Family Car of the Year - Vauxhall Astra
The brand-new Vauxhall Astra won't have as much room for a discount as with older rivals, but Vauxhall's finance plans are very competitive and could land you an Astra SRi 1.0-litre Turbo for £249 a month.
Our 2013 Car of the Year is still well up there, and a deposit of £4,437 and monthly payments of just £149 the SEAT Leon represents excellent value for money.
