Asus Eee Box B206
For undemanding users who aren't into HD video, Asus' Eee Box B206 is worth a look; however, it's not powerful enough to take on other media-centre PCs.

Ford Fiesta Econetic
Fit a Fiesta with a highly efficient diesel engine, special tyres and a green shift light, and you've got a car capable of besting the Toyota Prius in the fuel economy stakes.

Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door automatic (2009, WS)
Despite being the sportiest Fiesta, the Zetec automatic is still lumbered with the less powerful 1.4-litre engine. Maybe the Bluetooth hands-free, six-speaker stereo with USB and full complement of safety kit will make you feel better.

Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door manual (2009, WS)
Five-doors plus Bluetooth hands-free, USB, six-speaker stereo, body kit and a full complement of safety kit equals the Fiesta Zetec. Oddly the sportiest Fiesta (so far) has no extra power.
-
Ford Fiesta Zetec 3-door manual (2009, WS)
The sportiest of the new Fiestas doesn't have any extra power, but does include standard Bluetooth hands-free, USB slot, body kit and alarm.
-
Ford Fiesta LX 5-door manual (2009, WS)
Upgrading to the LX nets you a six speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack for MP3 player connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control, alloy wheels and cruise control.
-
Ford Fiesta CL 5-door manual (2009, WS)
Two extra doors means added practicality. Inside you'll still get a single CD player, steering wheel audio controls and an auxiliary jack for connecting to your favourite MP3 player.
-
Ford Fiesta CL 3-door manual (2009, WS)
Entry-level the Fiesta CL manual may be, but it comes with ABS, front airbags, steering wheel audio controls and an auxiliary port for MP3 players.
