The Volkswagen Up has won CarBuyer’s Best City Car award, while the Golf Cabriolet has claimed the accolade for Best Convertible.

Commenting on the awards, CarBuyer editor in Chief Steve Fowler said: ‘The Up is a simply superb city car – it’s got all the attributes CarBuyer users will love: cheeky looks, mature driving manners, plenty of space, low running costs and a tempting price. It makes a great case for not needing anything larger.’

He continued: ‘Volkswagen’s latest Golf Cabriolet is the best yet. It has all the attributes that make every other Golf so brilliant, but with a huge dollop of sex appeal. It has its sensible side, but it sure knows how to let its hair down – it’s the perfect cabrio for CarBuyer users.’
