Eight of the top 10 models in this chart are Japanese, but a new arrival on the podium will cause a stir. The Hyundai i30 has a superb reliability record – and that played a major part in it securing the overall Driver Power crown.

The winners 1. Toyota Prius (old) “I was the first to drive a hybrid car in London back in 2001 and it is still going strong and extremely economical - I would not hesitate to buy another one.” Mr Jaime Ng, Hendon, London

2. Honda Jazz (new)“The Jazz is a brilliant little car. The way the back seats fold gives it a superb load carrying capability and it is totally reliable.” Mr Michael Starling, Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

3. Hyundai i30“A reliable, practical and stylish car, which doesn't cost the Earth, backed by a 5 year warranty. Definitely happy with my purchase!” Ms Sadia Azam, High Wycombe, Bucks.
