Find out our Reader Test team thoughts on the BMW 5 Series
The Octavia is comfortable and easy to drive, has a huge cabin and most versions are cheap to buy and run.
The Touran has a roomy cabin and classy build. Its resale values are strong, too, and the drive strikes a fine balance between comfort and control
The X1 has sharp handling, low CO2 emissions and comes with plenty of standard kit. It's keenly priced for a BMW, too.
The 207 is a brilliant all-rounder with a desirable image, high-quality cabin and smooth drive.
The Alfa Romeo Mito looks distinctive and Italian – especially in red – and has an upmarket image and nicely-designed sporty cabin. Resale values are strong.
The i10 is cheap to buy and run, and every model gets air-conditioning as standard. Its small size is a boon when negotiating tight city streets.
The MX-5 gives you all the fun and style you'd want from a roadster. It's well made and cheap to own, too.
The Swift gives you lots of power and kit for the money. It's fun to drive and stylish, too
The Zafira is as roomy as any mid-sized MPV, but it's better to drive than most
The A4 is spacious inside, and a good, grippy car to drive. Thanks to reasonable list prices and strong residual values, the ownership costs are competitive. There are plenty of powerful engines.
