• BMW 1 Series

  Unlike rival family cars, the 1 Series sends its power to the rear wheels rather than the fronts, but that makes it entertaining to drive, and ride comfort is also good. There's plenty of space for four inside.

• Jaguar F-Type Convertible

  Harking back to Jaguar sports cars such as the achingly beautiful E-Type of the 1960s, the F-Type is a strict two-seater that puts the emphasis on performance and style. Few cars look or sound as good.

  Lombardyexperience? deal: Save £4866 on a 2.0 R-Dynamic auto – you pay £55,444

• Mercedes GLC

  The GLC is one of the best cars Mercedes has launched in years. It’s good to drive, smart inside and lavishly equipped. It even stacks up well financially for private buyers and company car drivers, which is something we’re not used to saying about many modern Mercedes models.

  Lombardyexperience? deal: Save £4452 on a 250 4Matic AMG Line 9G-Tronic – you pay £36,733

• Mini Convertible

  Like the Mini but want the wind in your hair? Say hello to the Mini Convertible. This stylish small car has a smart interior and a strong, refined range of engines. That folding roof means that space inside is at a premium, though.

  Lombardyexperience? deal: Save £1456 on a 2.0 John Cooper Works II auto Nav Plus – you pay £29,979

• Nissan X-Trail

  Think of the X-Trail as a bigger version of the Qashqai with two extra seats on board. Those seats may only be suitable for short journeys, but they make the X-Trail more versatile than the five-seat rivals it’s priced to compete with.

  Lombardyexperience? deal: Save £2615 on a 1.6 DiG-T Tekna – you pay £29,400

• Suzuki Celerio

  You might expect the Celerio's 67bhp 1.0-litre engine to feel a bit weedy, but it's peppy performance is actually well suited to a car as small as this. Indeed, the Celerio is an ideal choice if you don't want to spend a lot ans will mainly be driving on city streets.

  Lombardyexperience? deal: Save £995 on a 1.0 SZ3 – you pay £8654

• Toyota Prius

  The Prius is one of the founding fathers of hybrid cars, and remains one of the most frugal family options around, especially in this plug-in hybrid form. Company car drivers will enjoy its low tax status, it's pleasantly refined around town.

  Lombardyexperience? deal: Save £5298 on a 1.8 VVTi Plug-in Excel CVT – you pay £28,607

  Ask 10 people to name a family car and chances are most of them will mention the Volkswagen Golf. It's consistently among the most popular new cars sold in the UK, and with good reason: with such a wide range of engines and versions on offer – from frugal petrols through to diesels and even electric versions – there's a model to suit everyone. It's also brilliant to drive and competitively priced.
