Category: Superminis 
Price Range: £10,685 to £13,585
Looks good, roomy cabin, excellent crash test results, 1.5 dCi diesel engine
Choppy ride, weedy 1.2 petrol, sluggish auto, not much rear legroom or boot space.
One of the better-looking mini-MPVs and a good family motoring solution - with the right engine.
The Modus is not super-cheap to buy, but it promises to hold its value better than a mainstream Clio.
Renault's MPVs are popular second-hand buys, and it may well appeal to buyers who can't quite stretch to a Scenic, or who want some of the Scenic's abilities in a smaller package.
