    Also Consider

    • Citroen Xsara 1997
      Enjoyable to drive, with good handling and a smooth, pliant ride. Roomy estates better than five-door hatchbacks. The 167bhp coupe is seriously quick.
    • Ford Focus 1998
      Good to drive. Roomy cabin well thought through. Massive choice of used Focus at sensible prices. Better car than a similar aged Volkswagen Golf.
    • Peugeot 406 1999
      Powerful, frugal diesels. The estates are practical and some have seven seats. All models ride and handle extremely well. 2.0HDI can last 300,000 miles.
    • Vauxhall Astra G Petrol 1998
      Decent, honest family car. Estates particularly well equipped and thought out.
