Supermini car reviews

The electric version of the 208 is a mature and accomplished car

At last, a small Vauxhall that’s not tedious to drive. But why hasn't the facelift addressed the interior?

Mazda’s oft-overlooked Corsa rival isn’t a bad all-rounder, but is let down by its weak naturally aspirated engine range

A decent car that struggles to stand out with strong competition from within its own family

If you’re not quite ready to go electric yet then you could do a lot worse than the baby Skoda

Makes no promises it cannot keep, and absolutely nails the brief Dacia set for it: simple, spacious motoring for pennies on the pound. Now with added refinement

Citroen goes back to its roots and gives us something completely different, cheap, cheerful and innovative

This mini-MPV offers loads of space and of course, that spectacular warranty, but sadly it's dreary to drive. You'd be better off in the i30.

Peugeot needed to be bold to regain ground in a sector it once led. The 208 delivers
