Volkswagen Polo 5dr hatchback

1.4 TDI 80 BlueMotion 2

Never a huge seller in the UK because of its pricing, but very dependable. Petrol engine best left for ardent diesel-phobes: best of the range is the 99bhp TDi. Reasonable to drive, but pound-for-pound not as rounded or pleasing as the larger Golf.
