My wife is after a new small car and we have a few options in mind. The final two are the Hyundai i30 Active X and the Volkswagen Golf 92TSI. Our preference is for one equipped with Apple CarPlay, which both have. Low-running, servicing and insurance costs are high priorities. Do you have a preference or an alternative?

The Golf is a better car and the advantage for the Hyundai is a longer warranty. Both get The Tick. My pick is the car I prefer to drive, which is the VW.
