My judgement is based on following grounds:

VW Polo is the small brother of Golf. Is coming with the same technologies, great engines, ambitious in every aspect. Is even a bit less conservative in design, eager to count not only on the same clientele basis. However, the mission of the new Polo in B segment is much more difficult compared with Golf role in compact league. Still, the new Polo is the best ever to make performance in segment and walk to the Top 3 and compete the be No 1.

Toyota iQ is redefining the urban premium segment. With 6 brilliant innovations, 3+1 seats in less than 3 meters, iQ is an  intelligent choice  targeting conscious people about image, high-tech things and setting new horizons. The family iQ to come is even more interesting, with EV and Gazoo Racing.

Opel Astra is not a „copy & paste” of COTY award winner Insignia but is the same DNA of German technology and sculptural design. Keep in mind,  is compact and therefore more sporty and less premium. Great dynamics, fan factor is there. Interesting placement in the segment, somewhere in between the best handling Ford Focus and class leading but conservative VW Golf. A car to watch in the hatch league.

Mecedes E class is taking forward the great achievements of last two generations. Arguably with less fluid and impressive design but flawless in technology and dynamics. Full of specs and intelligent high tech gadgets. So far, the leader of this premium segment. If you can afford, is the right choice.

Citroen C3 Berlingo is an interesting concept enlarging the C3 range. Is an important contribution to the bold development of Citroen brand. But is also an interesting proposal for small family van, with polyvalent offer. For many small entrepreneur could easily fit the family car role and working tool for the company.

Peugeot 3008 is a fair effort of the French manufacturer to go premium. Is an interesting cross between MPV and SUV, great for families but also executive company car. Is the first model to receive hybrid diesel technology. Pity, is not having a 4 x 4 option. The use of ESP is only a awd gimmick. Nevertheless is doing a great job for Peugeot brand.

Yeti is an fair addition to the Skoda range. Aiming for a small MPV, Yeti makes a self service purchase from VW group technology basis and offer whatever you may need, sometimes in excess. Even the price. I mean, not so much popular Skoda you may think.
