Superb to drive, pleasant to sit in and well equipped. The Fiesta is a fine small car, but it can prove quite pricey in higher trims and the Volkswagen Polo just has the edge for ride comfort, safety and rear-seat space.

Active trim adds a more SUV-like edge to the Fiesta, raising the ride height by 18mm and adding a more rugged body kit. On top of that, you get all the same kit as Titanium trim but with ‘rugged’ 17in alloy wheels.

This range-topping mild-hybrid engine is worth considering. As the most powerful engine in the standard Fiesta range (excluding the 1.5 Ecoboost in the ST hot hatch) it’s sufficiently potent, pulling hard from low revs and making overtaking easy. The mild-hybrid technology means that it remains efficient and gives an extra power boost from a standstill.
