1. Volkswagen Golf

2. Ford Focus

3. Mercedes A-Class

4. Peugeot 208

5. Audi A3
The Audi A3 Sportback has one of the best looking interiors of its kind. It has advanced tech and is well made. It’s also bit more expensive than alternatives.

6. Mazda 3
The Mazda 3 has sharp look, a stylish interior, an easy-to-use infotainment system and a range of efficient engines that could tempt you away even more premium German hatchbacks. It’s sporty to drive too, although there are more practical hatchback cars.

7. BMW 1 Series
The new BMW 1 Series is more practical than before and gets more tech, but the fact that it’s no longer rear-wheel-drive might upset those who loved the way the old car drove.

8. Toyota Corolla
You’ve not always been able to say a Toyota looks cool, but this is certainly the case with the Corolla. Not only does this hybrid hatchback look great, it’s fun to drive and has a smart interior, too. Alternatives are better for space, though.

9. Vauxhall Astra
With the Vauxhall Astra you get a hatchback car that is comfortable and fun to drive, comes with a good infotainment kit and usually comes with decent discounts too. Some alternatives are a bit more spacious inside – and feel a bit posher too.

10. Volkswagen Polo
The Volkswagen Polo is a small car that’s comfortable to drive and has a spacious, plush cabin, but it’s far from exciting to drive and some desirable features cost extra.
