Hand-Picked by Honest John
These are the models that Honest John recommends more than any other. Read on to find out why...
Hyundai ix35
"The Qashqai has been a phenomenal success. The Hyundai ix35 beats it at its own game."
A small and tall car that provides comfortable, easily accessed upright seats and excellent luggage capacity.
Wide opening doors, a sliding and folding rear seat that gives excellent rear legroom or huge boot space.
Often cars don’t drive as well as they look, yet that isn’t the case with the Mazda2.
It’s the whole package: a car that’s going to do everything you want, never let you down, and not cost a lot to run.
Toyota has extracted the drivetrain from its Prius to bring us this hybrid version of the Auris.
Unlike the previous version, the new C-MAX is two cars in one: a 5-seater and a 7-seater.
New Congestion Charge exempt (and annual tax exempt) ‘Blue’ version emits just 99 g/kg CO2.
The huge advantage is access. As I demonstrate in the video you can literally walk straight into the car.
