New Cars

Good: Sliding side doors and no central pillar mean unimpeded access. Five star Euro NCAP rating. Engines include 1.0 litre three-cylinder EcoBoost petrol. Decent drive. Prices start at £12,995.
Bad: Autos start at £17,255. No models under 100g/km. Doors are thick and subsequently heavy to close.

Good: Neat styling. More practical than a Focus. Fine blend of ride comfort, handling and driver enjoyment. 1.6 TDCI emits 119g/km. High quality interior.
Bad: Small back window cuts rearwards visibility. 18-inch wheels don't do the ride any favours.

Good: Small SUV based on the Fiesta. Already on sale in Brazil and will be built in Europe. Comes with Ford's impressive 1.0 EcoBoost engine.
Bad: Not Ford's best looking design. Won't arrive here until 2014.

Bad: Lots of strong hatchback competition around.

Good: 180PS, 240Nm torque from 1,500-5,000rpm and 'enhanced torque vectoring control' make the 2013 Fiesta ST quick, sharp and safe.
Bad: Insurance for younger drivers might be a problem

Good: Fun to drive and economical, based on the FIAT 500 but handles so much better it donated its suspension improvements to the 500. More room in rear than 500.
Bad: Diesel engine not worth the extra. Doesn't have character or cachet of 500. Never got TwinAir engine.
