The most popular company cars in the UK, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, account for nearly half of all fleets. But how do they compare? Read our guide by Abby Jones of WhatCar? to find out how your fleet choice measures up.

1. FORD FOCUS

GBP 10,495-GBP 19,995 (hatchback)

The Ford Focus is a practical, multi-skilled car that's a good drive, thanks to its rigid body shell and tuned chassis. It is also comfortable with road and suspension noise suppressed, wind disturbance lower than average and smooth engines. It is well built, with a range of safety and security features as standard, and most models have a generous level of equipment including power steering and central locking. There is a wide choice of engines available in the range - from a 1.4-litre petrol to a 2.0-litre, via a couple of diesels. The smallest petrol unit is underpowered, but the rest deliver crisp performance. For a blend of pace, performance and fuel economy, the pick of the range is the 115bhp TDCi.

2. VAUXHALL ASTRA

GBP 10,280-GBP 14,995 (hatchback)
