Each of our top 10 here mixes strong practicality, refinement, performance and desirability with engaging dynamics, but which takes top spot?
It would be easy to assume that something with a Skoda badge would be out of its depth among these premium players, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Superb has been around for a while now, but a facelift a few years ago has helped keep it fresh, while its blend of comfort, value and space makes it hard to resist when you put aside badge snobbery and focus purely on quality and ability.
Regardless of the model you go for, you get the same impressive interior that has classy look and feel as well as rear legroom that would shame models from the class above, plus a cavernous 605-litre boot. Yes there will still be some that feel their premium-badged alternative has bragging rights in the corporate car park, but few can match the all-round appeal of the versatile Czech machine.
Deliberately soft suspension and seats that could double as armchairs help give the Citroen and easy-going vibe, while the refined and fairly pokey petrol engines make for effortless progress, occassionally jerky eight-speed automatic gearbox aside. The French machine clings on gamely enough through the corners, but lifeless steering and a healthy helping of bodyroll discourage you from pressing on - best to sit back, relax and take it easy.
It's not helped by the fact that it feels a little like Genesis can't quite decide whether this is a sports saloon and down-sized luxury limo. The handling is accurate and poised enough but there's little to lift the spirits, while the ride and refinement aren't quite cosseting enough to earn it a five-star comfort rating. Still, it's a capable all-rounder, while its top notch finish and lavish interior are more than a match for establised premium rivals.
