This car is only available as a 5dr hatchback, and also rated as one of the safest mid-sized cars in the market today.

The i30 also comes with the option of start stop technology within new models which is a way of being more fuel efficient, They have really focused on two features and Hyundai are really trying to do their bit for the environment and for passenger safety.

Ford Focus TDCi 2.0

Slightly older than the Hyundai but not as old as the Golf the focus started being manufactured by the company Ford in 1998.

The focus is currently the world’s bestselling mid-sized car and is considered by many as one of the greatest cars in automotive recent history.

The pretty hatch back packs a punch in the direction of its competition.

Vauxhall Astra 2.0 CDTi

The Astra started its manufacture range back in 1979. There are many models of the Astra which have all been successful in terms of sales with the most successful model being the MK5 which was the second best-selling car in Britain behind the Ford Focus, which is still an impressive feat.

The Astra’s liability is also further displayed by it being the most common car in Britain to be used by the police force, so it must be trust worthy.
