MG 5

Combating the Ford Focus/Mazda 3 class, the MG 5 hatchback has more power and aggressive lines compared to the 3 (MGs, not the Japanese one). While first models have steel wheels and a sole 1.5 engine paired to an automatic, more models will roll out soon.

The Good: Price undercuts compact rivals
