The most satisfying new car to own is the Hyundai i30, according to readers of The Daily Telegraph and other car owners from throughout Britain.
The Czech-built hatchback scooped the annual Driver Power of customer satisfaction carried out by Auto Express magazine, which aims to find the best car in Britain in terms of customer satisfaction and reliability.
More than 23,000 car buyers completed the survey, in which the i30 came ahead of last year's winner, the Jaguar XF, and the Skoda Octavia, which finished second in 2009. Hyundai is the first Korean maker to win in nine years of the survey.
While it was good news for Hyundai, the big-selling Ford Focus came resolutely mid-table – in 51st out of 100 models. It was bad news for Vauxhall, with the previous-generation Corsa – an extremely popular used buy – in last place, while the MkIV Astra finished just one place ahead.
In the manufacturer category, Toyota's luxury brand Lexus came second behind Skoda. Peugeot was rated the worst due to poor performances by its 307 and 207 hatchbacks.
Thanks to the i30, Hyundai make the biggest improvement, jumping 12 places.
