The winner of the CarSite Car of the Year Award 2013 must be both brilliant and innovative.

It is not enough simply to be a car which excels in a number of areas. No. Our Car of the Year needs to bring something new and different to the table, while offering everything else you'd expect from a car of its type.

Coming up with three nominations for our Car of the Year Award was tough, so we picked four.

Volvo V40  

Volvo V40

The V40 is not only the safest car in its class, but also one of the most stylish. On both the outside and inside the V40 looks effortlessly classy and thanks to a spacious interior, a range of frugal diesel engines and an excellent range of standard equipment, the V40 is an excellent all-rounder.


Toyota GT86
 

Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ

The Toyobaru is an absolute hoot to drive, thanks to its sonorous boxer engine, crisp steering and lack of rear-wheel grip. The driving position is superb and the interior is very well equipped. And on top of all this, both the Toyota and the Subaru are eminently affordable.


VW Golf  

VW Golf

It's the best Volkswagen Golf yet! The Mk7 Golf really does seem to cover all the bases: it's good-looking, comfortable, practical, good to drive, economical, well-made and blessed with one of the most desirable badges in the business.


Dacia Sandero  

Dacia Sandero

The Dacia Sandero is quite simply astonishing value for money. Okay, there are more accomplished cars on the market and the Sandero is by no means a faultless car; however, for the money there is very little to touch it, and it earns its place on this list on this basis alone.
