The third-generation of Renault's ever-popular Clio got an overhaul in 2009 that brought it up to date, but also bestowed 'Marmite' looks. Is it worth considering over the Fiesta et al?

Renault Clio Sport Tourer (2008-)

New price: £10,405 - £17,105
The estate version of Renault's popular supermini is a good all-rounder. It's decent to drive, economical and well-equipped - and the boot has plenty of space.
