7/10KiaPicanto£9,990 – £15,150Another string to Kia’s ever more impressive bow, the Picanto is a fun and interesting city car.
6/10NissanMicra£13,875 – £22,385It's engine range isn't class leading, but overlook that and the Micra is a massively improved contender
3/10MitsubishiMirage£10,345 – £14,650Expensive, slow, horrid to drive. A mass of metal without sense or relish or ability or anything, really.
