- MINI Countryman: A MINI with usable back seats and all-wheel drive, and BMW running costs.
- Mazda3 Hatchback: Beautiful and dark inside: the sloping roof costs rear headroom and visibility.
- Toyota Prius: The low roofline costs rear headroom and makes car seats genuinely awkward.
- Honda Civic Hatchback: Front-wheel drive only, and road noise is noticeable at highway speed.
