My judgement is based on following grounds:

Toyota iQ: Our world is full of problems now. Pollution, shortage of fossil fuels, congestion in the cities, and so on. From car aspect iQ is one of the possible answers. It is extremely small sized, consumes only drops of fuel and harms the environment at a very low rate. There were and are other concepts showing similar qualities, but the iQ is the only one which can carry four adults safely, comfortably and behaves on the road like a normal size car. World would need many of them, but the price will hinder its broad spread. This is a problem, which is still open.

Volkswagen Polo: Quality built supermini offering everything you would demand: room, safety, comfortable ride, predictable roadholding, broad range of modern, low consumption and emission engines, and all of it for a fair price. And last but not least, it looks much much much better than its predecessor.

Mercedes-Benz E-class: In any respect it is a percfect car. The only real problem of the new E-class is its high price: only a fraction of the population can afford to have one.

Opel/Vauxhall Astra: Great job Opel/Vauxhall! Regarding its look, spaciousness, build quality, its suspension, which kept roadholding capabilities, but now matched with more comfortable ride, the new Astra is a big leap forward. Similar to that of Insignia one year before.

Peugeot 3008: Today’s people want specially looking, practical, economical, safe, well equipped cars with enjoyable driving characteristics. The Peugeot 3008 is a good mixture of all. It has unique looks, it is high enough to be spacious inside and to offer great view, but not too bulky to harm the roadholding and the consumption. And its passenger compartment is so comfortable, that makes the 3008 a car, which is good to live with.

Citroen C3: If the Peugeot 3008 is a car in which you feel at home, the Citroen C3 offers you the just the same but one category lower. It is roomy and comfortable, looks nice inside and out, and the top of it, affordable.

Skoda Yeti: An acceptable compromise between cars and SUVs. Offers the advantages both categories without the disadvantages of them.
