10. Dacia Duster 1.3 TCe 130 Comfort
There's a lot more to the Duster than just a low price. For a start, it's spacious inside, making it a practical choice, and secondly, this Comfort version isn't as spartan inside as you might imagine. It gets a touchscreen infotainment system, for starters, but also includes extra touches to jazz up the interior and exterior a little.

9. Mini hatchback 1.5 Cooper Classic II 3dr [Comfort Pack]
The Mini hatchback is consistently one of the best-selling new cars in the UK, and we like its low running costs and strong resale values.

8. Volkswagen T-Roc 1.0 TSI S
Volkswagen was quite late to the small SUV party, but its T-Roc is an excellent choice if you want a smaller SUV that has a premium interior. It's also spacious by the standards of this class and has a comfortable ride. The 1.0-litre petrol engine you get here is our recommended choice, while even the cheapest S trim gets you dual-zone climate control, electric windows and 16in alloy wheels.

This is our recommended version, too.

While it's the Volkswagen Polo that rules the roost when it comes to small cars, the Seat Ibiza joins it in receiving our top five-star rating. It's great to drive, too, as well as being remarkably spacious. The 1.0-litre petrol engine you get here is our recommended choice, and it pulls eagerly from low revs. FR trim gets you more aggressive looks, sports seats, a DAB radio and cruise control.

5. Audi A3 Sportback 35 TFSI Sport [Tech Pack]
There's a brand new Audi A3 about to go on sale, but that means deals on the outgoing car are as good as they're ever going to get. And what a car the A3 is: good to drive, spacious and comfy and loaded with kit in Sport trim. It's a former What Car? Car of the Year, and despite being significantly older than rivals, is still among our favourite family hatchbacks.

4. Skoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI 95 SE
The Kamiq is a fantastic small SUV. It's remarkably roomy inside for both passengers and luggage, has a comfortable ride and has a better-finished interior than many rivals. It doesn't place you as high up from the road as some SUVs, but it should still be near the top of any new car shortlist.

3. Hyundai i10 1.2 MPi SE Connect
Not so long ago, the Hyundai i10 played second fiddle to the rival Kia Picanto city car market. Now, however, the tables have turned, and it's the i10 that's our top choice, thanks to its comfortable and quiet driving manners, decent space and the fact that it comes with loads of safety kit as standard. This is our recommended version, too.

2. Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 Match
The Polo is the best small car you can buy right now, offering a superb interior that's surprisingly spacious, a peppy range of engines and impressive refinement. Match trim is the one we'd go for because it adds an upgraded infotainment system and parking aids to help you avoid any embarrassing scrapes. The fact that you can have all of this for significantly less than £200 per month shows why PCP deals are so popular.

1. Skoda Scala 1.0 TSI SE
The Scala is our favourite family car, having clinched the title from its sibling, the Octavia, at the most recent What Car? Awards. What makes the Scala our top pick? Well, it represents superb value for money, has tremendous space inside and has tidy handling with a comfortable ride – hardly surprising, since it's similar underneath to the Volkswagen Golf. The version you get with this deal is our recommended trim level, too; it's the best car you can buy for less than £200 per month. A financial contribution of more than £2000 only sweetens the deal.
