All things considered, the Corolla is a brilliant family car. It's comfortable, well made, well equipped and remarkably frugal in real-world driving. Rear passenger space is decidedly below par, but as long as that flaw isn’t a dealbreaker for you, it's a fantastic buy.

Design is well worth a look if you like your luxuries. It adds privacy glass, LED fog lights, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, 17in alloys, the full 12.3in digital instrument cluster and rain-sensing wipers.

With 138bhp at its disposal, the 1.8 has a 0-62mph time of 9.2sec, and has enough performance for everyday driving without needing to mash the accelerator into the carpet. It’s the best version based on price, performance and efficiency.
