Ford Fiesta cornering front three quarters

The Ford Fiesta usually finds itself at the top of this list, but in July it was usurped. Don't think that makes the Fiesta any less recommendable, though; it's superb to drive and smart inside, making it a fantastic small car. The fact that it won't cost you much to run is the icing on the cake.
