You'll like: Build quality, futuristic interiors, technolgy on offer. All this at a competitive price.

You won't: Low ground clearance, low stance, makes it hard work to get in and out of cabin, no extra options.

Skoda Octavia
We say: Great buy still, even though it's sold alongside it's successor, the laura.

You'll like: Price, build quality, fuel-efficient diesel and high-performance petrol.

You won't: cramped seats, slightly noisy diesel power, base model lacks luxury.

Chevrolet Optra Magnum
We Say: A capable mid-size diesel saloon that checks all the right boxes.

You'like: Smooth, powerful TCDi engine, price,lots of cubbyholes, good equipment options.
