And, speaking of which, you’ll have plenty of choice when you do go shopping. It’s proven reasonably popular as a new car, leaving plenty of used examples to pick from. You can’t go wrong with any of them, though.

Second place: Renault Clio
The all-new version of the Renault Clio that’s on the horizon is, if anything, making the outgoing model even more appealing. The fifth-generation Clio has been made to look quite classy and understated next to the divisive sixth-gen car, and away from aesthetics, it has plenty going for it.
The Clio is a small car that drives like a much bigger one, with grown-up road manners and great refinement compared to a lot of rivals. It’s also exceptionally frugal if paired with a hybrid powertrain.
The hybrid is worth going for if your budget allows, but all versions sip fuel rather than gulp it. The news keeps getting better for your wallet, too, because prices start at about £8,000 for earlier versions of the Clio.
