If you want a fun car for not loads of money, what's your best option? That's what Autocar's contest, Britain's Best Affordable Driver's Car, intends to answer every year. Welcome to the 2021 edition. We've got six driver's cars to test. Five are practical everyday hatchbacks that also aim to please while they're at it, and they're all new for 2021. The newest of them all is the Hyundai i20 N. It takes on the Ford Puma ST, the latest Volkswagen Golf R, a Cupra Leon 300, and a BMW 128ti. Then there's our wildcard, the Caterham Super Seven 1600. The cars' prices run from under -25, 000 to nearly -40, 000, and we've driven to the greatest roads in Britain to help us decide. We're in the Highlands: but there can be only one (see what we did there. Full specifications below!

Can someone wake me up when this video has finished. yawn. How can you make a Britain's top drivers car video so dull. It's more suited to critiqueing battery powered lawnmowers than a drivers car and why put the Caterham in the mix when it's not an everyday car. A Toyota Yaris GR would win this if it was included. The only redeeming part was the verdict although after slating the Golf you still covered yourselves and put it 2nd.

I agree with the findings but i must say when the golf r as a standard car now starts at just over 40k so you'd have to pay much higher road tax 'affordable' might be a bit of a stretch for many when in this group
reply

What I don-t get is why would you not include cars on sale for more than a year? Average punter doesn-t care if hatch has been available for 2-3 years, and that usually means more development time.
reply

I-ve owned a Golf R, driven a Fiesta ST that I had for 2 months, and test drove the i20N yesterday. The i20N is the best all round without a doubt. I placed my order there and then, cannot wait-

2016 Mustang PP2 to answer best drivers car, wish I waited to spec a White 6 Speed Manual Transmission. BMW front wheel drive is Wrong don't can't power slide anymore. not cool
reply

Man they missed out so many great cars at similar price points to the cars in this review, literally dozens. Civic Type R, Megane R. S, Yaris GR to name but a few.
reply

The I 20N is the car for me, good job seeing as I-ve just bought one hopefully I will get it at the end of this month after three long months cracking little car
reply

Great vid as always. The 128ti doesn't have those dials because it doesn't have that option fitted. It'll have an older version of idrive with a smaller screen.
reply

I don't get why people want sporty SUV's.
They are full of compromises.
Imagine this setup in the FIesta or Focus, would have been a lot better.

Just about to read your write up in this weeks magazine, thought I-d search and watch this first. I always leave reading your magazine to read on a Sunday!
