Ford Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta has been dominating the top car sellers list here in the UK for years now, and for good reason, its reasonable price tag, generous equipment levels, stylish looks and vast choice of frugal and performance engines make it one of the best all-round packages money can buy. 

Beating off rivals like the Vauxhall Corsa, Renault Clio and Peugeot 208, the current Fiesta also gets a full five star rating from us in our full review.

Despite its compact dimensions, the supermini does well in the practicality stakes too, offering more boot space than its closest rival the Vauxhall Corsa. 

Currently in its sixth-generation, the first Fiesta was launched back in 1977, when it was only available as a three-door car or three-door derived van.
