Top 3 Small Family cars

1st: Volkswagen Golf
Rating
Price: £11995 to £24470
The Golf is an excellent all-rounder from a trusted brand. It has a spacious, comfortable interior and is plenty of fun to drive. The advanced rear suspension is a key factor in that, though the 1.4 engine could be a little flat. Be that as it may, the Golf offers plenty of value to the potential buyer thanks to its entry-level pricing and decent standard equipment.
2nd: Ford Focus
Rating
Price: £10995 to £20095
The second generation Focus does not differ that much from the first one but it’s still a great pleasure to drive thanks to the fabulous chassis, not to mention the strong level of equipment in all versions. The 2.0 litre petrol is the best version, though the 1.6 litre TDCI diesel engine is more economical.

3rd: Honda Civic
Rating
Price: £13,207 to £18,627
Hondas have at times past been thought of as somewhat dull, but the new Honda Civic has done much to change that with its radical design. Honda is still very true to form in their engineering; that is what has made them successful in the past and they’re not about to change that. The 1.8 litre petrol engine and the 2.2 diesel are the pick of the bunch.
