If there’s one type of car that’s really making elbow room for itself in the motoring market it’s the small car. From super minis to hatchbacks, small cars are punching above their weight and for good reason- they are fun to drive, they are frugal and they are fast.

For new drivers or city dwellers, a super mini or hatchback is ideal as you can’t get simpler cars to park. Obviously not taking up the whole road is also a benefit as you won’t get any scrapes, scratches or bangs.
