Mazda MX-5
This is a car with next to no rivals. The rear-wheel-drive MX-5 is small enough to suit UK roads perfectly, and even in 158bhp 2.0-litre guise is unintimidating enough to allow you to enjoy 100% of its punch every day. SE-L Nav trim comes with climate and cruise controls, LED headlights and a leather-trimmed, multifunction steering wheel, plus sat-nav, Bluetooth and a decent sound system.
