Massive world player that can do innovative and interesting, but also produces reliable unexceptional cars.
Toyota Yaris
Little supermini. It is well engineered and has plenty of room but cheap plastics are a letdown. The Verso is the MPV version.

Still among the best of the junior off-roaders. Easy to drive on road, but don’t expect to climb many mountains.

New, but still a proper off-roader. Good but not brilliant on-road. Will leave cars like the BMW X5 well behind off-road. Amazon is an even bigger version.

Sharp-looking coupe, fun to drive and has sweet handling for a front drive chassis. A fairly lairy 189bhp flagship version caps of the range.

Japan’s answer to the Lotus Elise, not quite as much fun, but you get a proper heater, comfortable seats, and a hassle-free roof.
