Taking to her popular TikTok page, where she is known as “Shetalkscars”, she gave details of her top five hatchbacks.

Up first was the Volkswagen Golf with the image showing a model advertised on Auto Trader for £4,750.

She said: “One of the best hatchbacks known to man.”

Abigayle added that the 2010 model shown had a 1.4litre petrol engine and was still “quite modern looking”.

She said: “I still think these cars are great on the road.”

Next was a BMW 1 Series which was advertised on the same used car site for £4,995.

Abigayle pointed out it was a 2011 model with a 2litre engine so warned “it might be a bit thirsty”.

Despite that she said: “What a car.”

Third to be shown off was a Volvo C30 for sale at £4,695.

Abigayle waded in immediately, asking: “Volvo, why did you stop making these?

“It’s just a really cool car.”

The make had a 1.6litre engine and 2010 plates.

An Audi A3 was shown next which Abigayle said was “another fantastic hatchback”.

The model for sale had a 1.6litre petrol engine and 2009 plates.

This one came, as Abigayle describes it, as having a “beautiful blue colour”.

The last car to be featured was a red Honda Civic which came with a price tag of £4,190.

“It still looks wicked,” according to the TikToker and she thought it looked particularly nice in red.

The 2010 car came with a 1.8litre petrol engine.

At the end, the motors expert said that all the cars featured were manual and so “well-priced in today’s market, in my opinion.”

Earlier this month, the experts at Top Gear revealed the best cars - not just hatchbacks - you can buy for under £5,000.
