1 Honda S2000
For the third year in the trot, screaming VTEC power wins

2 Honda Jazz
Honda's yin and yang at the top of the table. Sensible, but great

3 Skoda Octavia
Old-gen Octavia, a masterpiece of dependability

4 Skoda Fabia
No fluke for Skoda, the Fabia is cheap and charming

5 Lexus RX300
Pseudo-SUV is so solid, and perfectly sorted by dealers too

6 Lexus IS200/300
Owners of the old-style IS are still smiling about Lexus service

7 Skoda Superb
Stretched Passat ranks 67 places above the original

8 Fiat Panda
A long awaited return to tiny car form for Fiat. Ciao bambino!

9 Mazda MX-5
The one before the MX-5 grew up on us. Still did the business

10 Jaguar XK
All-aluminium XJ6 and 8 justify every penny of owners' outlay

Look...don't be bitter the Brits don't care for the German stuff, mkay...? I know it's weird to see the Japanese actually topping any car list.

It's crap. Stupid Englishmen/women.

@ the other story on the page: Best/Worst Reliability

Want you car to start in the morning? Buy Japanese. Otherwise - you guessed it - choose French

The s2000 is fantastic, but how about true practicality?
