BEST HYBRID BMW 5 SERIES - BEST SALOON VOLKSWAGEN ID 7
When BMW introduced a 545e version of the previous-generation 5 Series, it was a real 'have your cake, eat it and lose weight' kind of car: a plug-in hybrid that ticked all the sensible company car boxes while also a decent sports saloon with a wonderful straight-six engine.

BEST DREAM CAR FORD MUSTANG
V 8-engined muscle cars are very thin on the ground in the UK, your only options being the Chevrolet Corvette (which is really more of a sports car anyway) and the new Ford Mustang - a 440bhp bruiser that you can now buy for a shade over £55,000, making it the cheapest V8 car of any kind on the market.
