Price Range: £9,150 to £12,800
Cheap to buy and run, well-equipped, neat styling.
Noisy diesel engine, cheap-feeling dash, iffy ride.
Not as good to drive as a Fiesta, but impossible to rule out i20's superior value.
The little Hyundai comes with a generous list of standard kit. Even base Classic models get air conditioning and electric windows. Spend £800 more for the Comfort model and you add iPod connection, electric rear windows, 15" alloys, electric mirrors and trip computer.
Finally, the range-topping, five-door Style model adds the largest 16" wheels, half-leather seats, folding mirrors and climate control for an extra £900. The equivalent Fiesta Style+ model has the same amount of kit as the entry-level Comfort i20 but it costs a shocking £2,000 more.
