The Golf was a clear winner in the lightest weight class. The combination of a smooth and powerful diesel engine with exceptional stability made it every judge’s favourite. It’s just as good to drive solo, and impressive economy and low emissions made it the Green Award winner, too.
The Sprite makes a perfect match for the Volkswagen. Like the Golf, it’s extremely well equipped and great value for money. And like the Golf, the design is stylish and bang up-to-date . It’s reassuring to know that the Alpine 2 has a six-year bodyshell guarantee for added peace of mind .

Don’t let the looks fool you. The Kuga may look like a 4x4, but this version just sends power to the front wheels. That means it’s cheaper to buy than four-wheel-drive Kugas, and less expensive to fuel . Through the lane change test, the Ford was exceptionally stable, and acceleration and braking were also impressive.
The Kuga was matched to a Swift Charisma 230, a luxurious two-berth with an entry-level price. A built-in microwave, radio/CD, digital control fridge and dual-fuel central heating are standard. Space is the Charisma’s greatest luxury, with class-leading headroom and an exceptionally roomy layout.

It’s hard to find fault with the Superb 4x4. The engine is powerful and refined, more than able to pull any suitable match. Stability at high speeds and in emergency manoeuvres is rock-solid. The cabin is exceptionally roomy, rivalling some luxury cars for head- and legroom. The Superb’s a cut-price limo, and a great towcar, too.
Like the Skoda Superb, the Sterling Europa 530 also stands comparison with rivals costing far more . The Scandinavian influenced interior makes this a tourer for those who enjoy modern living, and who appreciate a long list of standard equipment at a surprisingly affordable price.

It’s hard to know which is the Ford S-Max’s best feature, the strong-yet-economical diesel engine or the poised and comfortable chassis. And then there’s the roomy and flexible seven-seat cabin, with seats which simply fold into the floor when they’re not needed. The S-Max proves MPVs don’t have to be dull.
The Challenger range keeps getting better. Energy saving lights, shock absorbers and positive catches over locker doors for secure loading are among the many thoughtful touches which keep the Challenger ahead of the competition. With four berths in a family-friendly, side-dinette layout, the Challenger 530 is an ideal match for the S-Max.

Volvo says the XC60 is the safest car it has ever built. It’s one of the best towcars Volvo has ever made, too. The beefy diesel engine will pull any suitable match to the legal limit with ease, while four-wheel drive makes short work of hill starts, even on the steepest slopes. It’s practical, comfortable and desirable, too.
This is a tourer without compromise. With its metallic silver sides and striking graphics, the Conqueror sets new standards for style, while inside you’ll find every luxury you could wish for. With its fixed bed, roomy washroom and plentiful living space, the Conqueror 630 epitomises luxury touring at its best .
