The Toyota Corolla Cross takes the familiar Corolla recipe, lifts it up and dresses it in SUV clothes — sensible, comfortable and blessedly unflashy. It won’t thrill the enthusiast, but its easy manners, clever packaging and dependable feel make it an ideal everyday car for shoppers who prefer sense over sass.

VW Golf
The VW Golf remains the everyman’s favourite — cleverly balanced, composed and just posh enough to feel grown-up without pretending to be something it’s not. It slips through town and eats up longer trips with a refined cabin, practical layout and a kindly, capable character that turns everyday driving into something a little bit special.
