My judgement is based on following grounds:

Toyota iQ
It is a very welcome completely new concept. Its smart solutions make reality a car that many others carmakers would love to do. I am sure there will be other iQs with better performeance, more improved and low priced, but this is the first one, and I think it might be the beginning of a saga.

Volkswagen Polo
Without the iQ in front, no doubt the Polo will be my winner. It has right design, right styling and, especially, right chassis and powertrains. Great work on the new Diesel engines generation: Polo offers reasonable performance even from the 75 HP level.

Opel Astra
Excellent behaviour and improved at all levels. But the whole performances and fuel consumptions could be much competitive if new Astra was not so heavy. From official figures, the differences with previous Astra and other rivals are enormous.

Peugeot 3008
In my personal opinion Peugeot has reached a high level of quality on 3008 (as well as on 308 CC) that changes a lot the perception of the user. This is a more convincing car than previous Peugeots without losing driving pleasure.

Citroën C3 Picasso
It satisfies any demand with its intelligent solutions and right interior space. Apart some minor detail as the steering feel at low speed or the shift’s use, it offers good dynamic and driving conditions.

Mercedes E-class
In this moment it is the most comfortable car in his category. Its range gives a version for each kind of driver, providing also interesting features as the Night Vision Plus system. Price pulls it out of the title career.

Skoda Yeti
It is one of the most reasonable SUV´s because its practicality must be, in my opinion, the first priority on these cars. In any case, the market has always the final verdict.
