It features BlueMotion technology, which makes for improved fuel efficiency . a must in a class of vehicles typically known for consuming more gas than other cars. Pricing goes up from about £20,000 on this model.

To get the most out of these cars, consider buying a 4-door sedan rather than a 2-door coupe. The 4-doors are usually more expensive, but they provide much more space for cargo and passengers. This is especially convenient for drivers who plan to keep their cars once they decide to start a family. These five models are great starting points for anyone who is new to the road.
