Skoda is the best motor company, according to 30,000 What Car? magazine readers.

The Czech manufacturer has been voted best manufacturer in the 2010 What Car? Readers Awards, with Porsche second and Daihatsu third.

The best car award went to the BMW 1 Series Coupe, with the Land Rover Defender second and the Alfa Romeo Mito third.
What Car? editor-in-chief Steve Fowler said: "The results suggest that no-one ever regrets buying a 1 Series Coupe, with the vast majority of readers dishing out a full five-star verdict.

"The entry-level BMW was complimented for its driving ability as well as its fuel consumption. It's a worthy winner."
