The world's most popular nameplate is still Australia's most popular small passenger car. The current‑generation Toyota Corolla hatchback is getting on now, but is it still a solid offering in a sea of small SUVs?

The Kia Cerato S is worth considering if you want a decent amount of space at a competitive price tag, the ownership options are great but is it a good alternative for your family? Or should you spend more to get a higher spec version of this hatch?

8.6/10
From
$23,987
The Hyundai i30 sees an update for the 2025 model line and the now entry‑level N Line variant gets the best of the new stuff; making it a strong contender for being one of the better base‑model hatches to come out in recent years for its segment.

There's a new entry‑level Skoda Fabia in town, for thousands less than the price of the top‑spec Monte Carlo. But does the Fabia Select feel like a bargain, or a compromise?
